I wonder what the bitshares team think of liteshares.net. It has a similar feeling to Litecoin with someone copying the source, modifying it a bit and launching it as a kind of 'lite' alternative of the real thing.

The Bitcointalk thread of the dev got deleted. I am not sure why but there was a big fight between a regular user and the dev with the dev actually offering more free liteshares if users would report the critical user. Quite the drama.

I hope this does not reflect negatively on bitshares in the longer run.
