I don't understand what they are trying to pull. Because their coin tanks because of referrals and miners they want to just abandon the coin BTBc and move on with a new project. Least that is what it sounds like. I personally bought a bunch on the exchanges and made some money because of the volatility but now i am holding bags of their coin. I did plan on lending when the price went up but it looks like that isn't even an option. Hopefully there will be some news on bitcointalk that they will integrate their old coin into the new one. I also lost coins depositing into their wallet that was buggy as hell. This is a sad thing that can happen to coins and it all comes from greed. Greed from the referrals and greed from the mining. My own greed seem to caught up with me. Eh. Dump this coin if your holding it still. There probably won't be a future. All signs point to them just abandoning the project and trying to get more greedy peoples money on a new coin that will end up the same way.
