"No, because mining optimization has nothing to do with premining or instamining. The supply of coins was and is unchanged from its original specifications. "
Massively disingenuous. Crippled miner scam is well known and means the dev's get more of the *distribution* than they should...the whole reason why "premine" and "instamines" you say are bad. The terms Instamine/Premine the way you use them are only to imply a *distribution* problem.. It's the same thing.
The fact that you always twist things to never admit the faults in Monero shows IMO you aren't "fighting scams" but trying to hurt the competition to raise your own price (despite it failing week after week).
We've admitted to the crippled miner. We were the first ones to discover it, disclose it, and fix it. The reason I don't dwell on Monero's faults is not to hide them (again, we were the ones who disclosed it), it's just that frankly its really small compared to Dash. Maybe 10-20k coin at most, compared to 2 million, plus Dash had the change to emissions later (which magnifies the effect of the original 2M massive coin dump), and we didn't. You don't want to hear that, but those are the actual facts.
