Dogecoin founder Billy Markus has found himself in the middle of another controversy as crypto developers dig up a project that was abandoned 10 years ago. The project which was titled BELLS was Markus’s brainchild before the idea for Dogecoin was born. However, he had abandoned the project and had not said anything about it until now.

狗狗幣創始人比利馬庫斯 (Billy Markus) 發現自己陷入了另一場爭議，因為加密貨幣開發人員挖掘了一個 10 年前被放棄的項目。這個名為 BELLS 的計畫是馬庫斯在狗狗幣的想法誕生之前的創意。不過，他已經放棄了這個項目，直到現在也沒有說什麼。

The Resurrection Of BELLS Blockchain

BELLS區塊鏈的復活

Adam McBride took to X (formerly Twitter) last week to share a recent find that was connected to one of the Dogecoin founders, Bill Markus. According to McBride, the BELLS token was founded by Markus in 2013 but was abandoned. Following the 10th anniversary of DOGE when Markus talked about the beginning of Dogecoin, the crypto enthusiast had gone hunting for Markus’s other crypto project and they found it.

Adam McBride 上週在 X（以前稱為 Twitter）上分享了一項與狗狗幣創始人之一 Bill Markus 有關的最新發現。根據 McBride 介紹，BELLS 代幣由 Markus 於 2013 年創立，但後來被放棄。在 DOGE 成立 10 週年之際，馬庫斯談到了狗狗幣的起源，這位加密貨幣愛好者開始尋找馬庫斯的另一個加密項目，並找到了它。

McBride, in cahoots with another crypto enthusiast, was able to dig up information about the BELLS blockchain which died in 2014, as well as a fork of the blockchain and an Ethereum version. But even after all of this, it did not end there.

McBride 與另一位加密貨幣愛好者勾結，能夠挖掘有關 2014 年消亡的 BELLS 區塊鏈的信息，以及該區塊鏈的分叉和以太坊版本。但即使發生了這一切，事情並沒有就此結束。

McBride would then bring his findings to developer Luke Wrightmain who would eventually get the blockchain up and running again. Mining was kickstarted once more on BELLS and miners could get BEL tokens for their efforts.

However, users were warned that the code which is 10 years old could not be completely safe and do not mine with their main machines. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency has garnered a lot of support and has managed to draw the attention of Markus.

不過，用戶被警告說，10年前的程式碼並不完全安全，不要用他們的主機進行挖礦。儘管如此，這種加密貨幣已經獲得了許多支持，並成功地引起了馬庫斯的注意。

Dogecoin Founder Denies Ties To Revived Project

狗狗幣創始人否認與復興計畫有聯繫

On Monday, X user CryptoKaduna took to the platform to share the BELLS project with their over 110,000 followers. In the tweet which does not directly mention BELLS, Kaduna alludes to the fact that it was a relaunched coin founded by Markus, adding that the Dogecoin founder had joined the project’s Discord to help the project.

週一，X 用戶 CryptoKaduna 在該平台上與超過 110,000 名粉絲分享了 BELLS 項目。在這條沒有直接提及 BELLS 的推文中，Kaduna 暗示這是 Markus 創立的重新推出的代幣，並補充說狗狗幣創始人已加入該項目的 Discord 來幫助該項目。

The founder of $DOGE, @BillyM2k is also the founder of a recently relauched coin that sits at only 20M while $DOGE‘s ATH was 88B. He joined the discord to help the project apparently. Go through his replies and you’ll find the coin.

$DOGE 的創始人 @BillyM2k 也是最近重新推出的一個代幣的創始人，該代幣的價值只有 20M，而 $DOGE 的 ATH 為 88B。他加入不和諧顯然是為了幫助這個項目。瀏覽他的回复，你就會找到硬幣。

However, Markus would take to X to clarify that he is not involved in the revived project in any way. He explains that the original tweet was misleading, and while he did join the project’s Discord, he only did so “to see what was going on and to provide a little color / warnings about the tech.” According to the founder, the tech behind the project is very old and people should know what they are getting to.

然而，馬庫斯向 X 澄清，他沒有以任何方式參與恢復的項目。他解釋說，最初的推文具有誤導性，雖然他確實加入了該項目的 Discord，但他這樣做只是「為了看看發生了什麼，並提供一些有關該技術的顏色/警告」。據創始人稱，該項目背後的技術非常古老，人們應該知道他們要做什麼。

The Dogecoin founder also reiterated his previous stance that he does not plan to be a developer on any crypto project ever again. “I’m never going to dev on any crypto project ever again, and I’ve made that extremely clear thousands of times,” Markus concluded.

這位狗狗幣創始人還重申了他先前的立場，即他不打算再次成為任何加密專案的開發人員。 「我永遠不會再開發任何加密項目，我已經說過數千次了，」馬庫斯總結道。

and i didn’t join the discord to help the project, i joined to see what was going on and to provide a little color / warnings about the tech.

我加入不和諧並不是為了幫助這個項目，我加入是為了看看發生了什麼，並提供一些關於該技術的顏色/警告。

i’m never going to dev on any crypto project ever again, and i’ve made that extremely clear thousands of times.

我永遠不會再開發任何加密項目，而且我已經說過數千次了。
