Scandal within the community
Meanwhile, a scandal erupted within the Ethereum community. The release manager of Parity Technologies Afri Shoedon declared that a project known as Polkadot is a clone of Serenity (или Ethereum 2.0). However, he was bombarded with hash comments and had to withdraw from some social media channels.
“Until further notice, you can reach me via [email protected], on Telegram using changing handles, and on Parity’s Riot/Github. I will no longer respond on Gitter, Skype, Discord, Slack, Wire, Twitter, and Reddit,” he said on Twitter.
He explained that he aimed to trigger a discussion, he did not intend to promote Polkadot, which is also developed by Parity Technologies. But those excuses did not save him from accusations of conflict of interests.
Shoedon deleted all his tweets starting from February 2019.
