This is against the GitHub TOS and has been reported. Nobody wants your crypto scam.

Hi @dmyers,

Appreciate you raising this. Just to clarify—KHC is simply the name of an open-source dev community. There’s no financial activity, crypto exchange, or promotion involved. We’re using a testnet token purely to experiment with rewarding contributors for open-source work—nothing commercial or transactional.

I also want to emphasize that the repo is public on purpose. If my intention was to spam or mislead, I would’ve kept it private. We’re all about transparency and collaboration here.

And just as a kind reminder to anyone checking out the project: please don’t make any transactions or share any sensitive info. This is a dev collab space only—just code, community, and good vibes.

Thanks again for the feedback, and I’m happy to answer any more questions.

Honestly, when I first saw this, I thought “here we go, another crypto thing trying to sneak into open-source.” But after checking it out, I don’t see any spam, transactions, or sketchy stuff—just looks like a dev project playing around with testnet tokens.Still not totally sure how I feel about the whole token angle, but nothing seems harmful right now. Worth keeping an eye on though.

It's still spam to invite 7000+ people that you have no connection with. How could you possibly think this is a good idea and won't get you reported and maybe suspended?

Hey @defnull , just to explain properly — I only sent out GitHub invites to this project. There were no spam messages, no phishing links, and no promotions or financial requests involved. I’m simply trying to reach developers who might be interested in collaborating on an open-source, fun project. If someone is interested, they’re welcome to join; if not, they can simply ignore the invite — no pressure at all. This project is purely for learning, experimenting, and building together. I appreciate you taking the time to actually look inside the community and see what it’s about. Just to be clear, I made the invitation log public so everyone could see exactly how invites were sent — if I wanted to hide anything, I could have made it private, but I chose to keep it transparent. Thanks again for understanding and for helping keep things open and positive!
