Yeah the difference is GLDcoin was a pump and dump coin, which is now run by a lunatic tyrant. I made $3800 in the first few days, bought all those coins back for under $1000, and now have double the coins I had originally.
Its my coin. I released it. I have 3 million GLD now - soon to be 0. GLD has been corrupted. GLD was never intended for 1 person to run it.
I created both coins, and Gold Coin will be run by the community, and Gold Coin will be free from lunatics.
Where is your "pumping" - didn't you tell me it was you and Fontas who pumped LTC? I call bullshit.
To not be rude and provide you with any details you may not be aware of,
First off, It was fontas, me and a few others who pumped LTC from 0.7 cents each to the 5 dollar mark. I was actually the first one to start. Not that I care if you happen to believe me on that point or not.
2ndly, MicroGuy isn't the only person running it. There are quite a few people on the GLD Committee in actuality and we do in fact consult the community. The only reason you were taken off the development team is because you sold GLDCoin and still acted like you were still in charge afterwards. This decision alone was made by 5 people.. including MicroGuy and myself. I was actually trying to keep you on the development team, but you just kept acting childish and unprofessional.
For anyone else who may be reading this, see this:
3rdly, We weren't even planning to get rid of your initial coins, as morally unsound as it was of you to pre-mine that much, we didn't want to make such unilateral decisions for the community. In fact we still aren't planning on removing those initial block rewards, partly because of some better sense that says a bunch of those blocks are now probably in other people's hands.
4thly, I don't know whether it was out of a defensive instinct to protect your assets when LaudaM began to hint that we were going to reduce the value of your coins by a factor of 1000X that you did that whole "nickyglasses" thing on cryptsy or whether you just like doing that sort of thing. Either way its unprofessional, and you can't possibly expect us to put up with such behavior from an official developer.
Lastly, We cannot trust you, you use multiple accounts/personalities, your behavior fluctuates wildly without warning and worst of all, your not interested in what's best for the coin.
