Every couple days a new coin comes out that gets abandoned by the dev. I am having trouble understanding the thought process of this. My guess is it is either one of these options.
- The dev is extremely lazy and/or has so many other coins that they cannot keep up with them. The plan is to release a coin, hope they get support and come back days/weeks later and dump a bunch.
- It is actually a well thought out plan to get people to waste their hash on tons of junk coins while the big miners mine all the "good" coins.
Could there be any reason I am not seeing?
1. the dev loses his premine or does not get to instamine - no interest in the coin.
2. the get to dump their premine or instamine early and move to creating a new coin.
3. the coin is a intentional waste of time to suck miners in and burn them as a warning about so many shit coins coming out.
4. the dev has good intentions but gets bored
5. coin attacked and can't be fixed by the dev with his current skill set.
so yeah i think you already got the main reasons...
