How did we really get here? Some guys are not just serious. This token was amongst the top projects during the airdrop phases, almost the same rank with Onions then. Dev just needed to be more proactive and innovative but he resulted to lending when everybody is running away from lending platforms due to Bitconnect, RegalCoin, Davorcoin etc.. incidents. That was when I started smelling rat that dev might have become bereft of idea.
Community really needs to take over this project and move it to where it is supposed to be. Common guys this is the first POS smart contract token?!!
I agree. I think the dev should resurface and at least release funds. The "I am not worried" mindset may be fine from a perspective that this is an airdrop, but it is almost sociopathic to disregard that some people invested in this and the dev has left their funds locked. I never put in a lot of money, though I foolishingly spent a few bucks to buy some tokens on EtherDelta (a shitty exchange if you ask me, along with ForkDelta).
The EBTC team also responded to the effect that lending may violate securities laws. If this coin is to be revived, it should be framed as a savings coin due to the staking, and perhaps a means for payment.
The dev should show up and clear the air, because this reeks of cowardice and bad ethics.
