Their whitepaper's explanation of how this works is horrendously complicated. There's no way you can encode that sort of logic into a cryptocoin in a bug-free manner. Steer clear of this.

Their contracts are up. If you can find a way to exploit one of the bugs, you can profit massively.

If your profit is massive enough they may even roll back the chain and do a hard fork!
