Why should dev do a POD? Did Bitcoin, Litecoin or Peercoin do a POD?
Did not, but in this moment when in just one day come out more than ten coins developers anonymity makes total anarchy on the scene.
How much is there coins that are made by developers which made them just for taking BTC from people, or developers who do not have skills, or just kids which on the first problem get away.
There must be some rules to protect people or we are just gambling with all of this and believe any newbie account that came whit first post promoting new coin.
Take a look on XDE
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/736702.0XDE start, mined, turned to POS, network has problem but developer has vanished. That is just one example and there are much more.
I do not say that this coin developer is person like that, but just that we need some kind of proof of his true intention.
