The only blog post I've written on Steemit was about Bitconnect back in October because it was such an obvious and flagrant scam:

RE: Hey Steemit, what political books should college students read? [dTube]
No, it's not a waste of tax payer money to try to pass legislation. Passing legislation is their job. It would be self defeating to give up on their duty to pass laws for the benefit of their constituency

RE: 🎵 Do you know what a Hang Drum is? 🎵
Love the 3/2 poly rhythm at about a minute in. Also, he gives it a very full poly tonal sound by playing out a bass line and a melodic line at times, as well as nice rolling arpeggios . Very well played.

Interesting. I believe you or another author pointed out fake website traffic likely paid for to jack up the website rank(ie Alexa). One possibility is that they are also trying to spam Google's Pagerank

RE: Proof Bitconnect's Bot it Going Broke!
Charlestines.com is correct. Since the loans are pegged at the initial loan amount in $USD for the term, the lender is paid a percent of the initial dollar value. The staker is paid a percent of BCC. So

RE: BitConnect: The Billion Dollar Pump and Dump? Part 6
It looks like coinmarketcap changed the available supply to reflect that about 70% isn't in circulation. This seems consistent with removal of the CryptoID data you found showing the concentration of wealth

You could try compiling from the the src folder, and see what you get (probably nothing but a bunch of errors). You are definitely correct about the lack of source code development. However, there are

I completely agree regarding the reliability of the sources. The increase in addresses seems correlated to the pump phase. It appears that sharp decreases occur when the BCC/USD price gets too low, to

I predict we will see the number of active addresses start to come down very soon if the BTC correction continues post-BTCgold fork. If this occurs, it will be consistent with these temporary addresses
