I see its only the Trollero fans in here circle jerking each other.

Well done guys, keep up the good fight!

Fact: Over 500k coins were mined in the first hour.

Fact: Over 1.5 million coins were mined in the first 8 hours.

This poll is highlighting facts, so what can you do but make it an us versus them  scenario to fit the, "They're out to get us!" narrative that has nothing to do with facts? If you don't want to defend an instamine, then don't defend an instamine.
You guys keep repeating these things as if you expect something to happen. People know that 2 million coins were instamined over 48 hours. Personally, I'm happy that the instamine occurred. In fact, the lack of an instamine in Monero is one of the reasons that I favor Dash and don't buy more Monero. If I don't feel like I got an unfair advantage over others, I just can't get behind a project.

I'm not going to even get into the amorality or short-sighted strategy of your conclusion--no intention of repeating my opinion. Where I flaw your argument is in the bolded part. There's no possible way you can account for every last person knowing that dash was instamined, hence why dash fans were quick to rally and have the premine asterisks removed from coinmarketcap. As long as people are entering the market and discovering the altcoin thread, the more it makes sense to keep bumping it and restating the facts.
