I don't think there's anyone trying to say a lot of coins weren't mined fast in the beginning. I'm certainly not trying to.
There were (and probably still are) hundreds of people F5'ing the ANN forums trying to instamine every coin's launch. It's a risk and effort people are willing to accept and sometimes it pays off. Just because you're too lazy to do it yourself doesn't mean you're entitled to be angry at those who aren't and get lucky once in a while.
A lot of coins were mined in the beginning. Now we are here, and a lot of coins are still to be mined. More than many other coins have I might add.
And more than 4x less than were originally stated too:
But apparently it's totally okay to take the 30k and change it into 120k+ overnight to appease the same small group of users:
If you increase the value of everyone's holdings, no one is getting scammed. It's totally different than decreasing the value of everyone's holdings. Even you must understand this.
Note that last point about exchanges - because those coins you think are in cold storage .. well they're really being used as masternodes for the exchanges! Why do you think there's so little push for <1000 coin holders to come together and make masternodes? forget that, if you just ignore them they'll just put those coins on the exchanges so we can take that money from them!
Can you explain the "take that money from them" part further, I'm not getting what you're trying to say. There are people with < 1000 DRK pooling together to run nodes btw. If there aren't enough of them to your liking, it's because the rewards are not good enough as the price of the coin is still very low. I'd expect the amount of people doing that to increase further if the price would let's say 10x.
