kakashi0x0 commented 5 years ago

Not that I disagree with the info presented above I think it's funny you did due diligence on Balina while there are other projects waiting for DD for months!

Plutonici commented 5 years ago

Kudos to icocheck for another great DD.

@JiraiyaThePervySage I think it's funny that you complain about what the contributors should do or not. Instead of whining you should probably help out to the community and appreciate freely available information.
