So essentially this [0] isn't totally a scam then?

Ever since many Bitcoin clones and source derived projects with no other changes other a renaming, re-branding, block-size and tweaks and also now especially with Ethereum-based tokens that have proliferated, so did the scams.

Nano seems to qualify as 'not a scam'.
