Scam Wars
For those of you that keep saying this is a scam, just think about it. What did the dev profit from? Nothing. The mined coins had no intrinsic value as the coin at that point was not on an exchange.
The dev has not done an ICO or pre-sale of masternodes. So, how would he make money by restarting the chain? He wouldn't.
Yes, there was an unforeseen screw-up with the original chain so it was restarted. As a goodwill gesture, an airdrop will happen to those that meet the criteria in the discord server (i.e. they were members before the airdrop was announced).
Anyone that mines a coin that is a few hours old does so to make a quick buck by speculating. Nothing wrong with that. However, they also need to appreciate that this potentially high reward practice also is high risk. New chains can screw-up!
To those that think they lost money by mining, I ask this question: as the coins had no intrinsic value as not listed anywhere, how did you calculate that the cost of electricity to mine the coin was worth it? You couldn't. You took a gamble and unfortunately in this instance it did not payoff. Move on!
