Re: [POLL] Does EVAN DUFFIELD regret instamining DRK/DASH at 100x emission?
Quite a few people who were at the Monero launch were reporting hitting 1-2 blocks per day. Over a two week period, they might have got 750-1,200 coins, lets be generous and say 5k.
Some people had managed to get really lucky and had 20k, about 10% of the supply at the time, in about a week.
Nice to have the luck to be in the right place at the right time and to have the resources to scale up such a mining effort.
But with Monero, the dev, or the patsy account, mysteriously vanished.
While the Darkcoin dev was open about his name, which part of America he lives and is still around - working away, for 14 months now, with plans to carry on developing - you know 'dev'ing.

You see what I did there?
A few facts, and some leading words and you can take that sort of thing in a variety of directions depending on your intentions.

I already pledged 10k which is half of my coins...

Not sure what you are suggesting. If you're suggesting that I'm TFT or had some involvement with him, or that I was involved with the BCN scam...good luck with that. It makes you look even more ridiculous. But since you brought it up, the fact that I mined a lot of XMR, and I also know other people who mined a lot and had nothing to do with BCN (such as dga, and several other large miners I know) is how I know that TFT or BCN scammers didn't mine a lot of XMR before the crippled miner was fixed, or even during the period after that when it was no longer blatantly crippled but was being progressively optimized by dga and by us. There just wasn't that much left. So your theory about the scam-mining of XMR being this large percentage or that large percentage is just flat wrong (never mind that it is irrelevant to Dash, but I'll get to that later). It may be have been zero, or it may have been an vanishingly small amount. I don't know which.
In fact, I have a lot of my own computers (and cloud accounts) so I've mined a lot of CPU coins. In fact that is how I found BCN (which led to my involvement with XMR). Before XMR I mined BCN and before that I mined MMC and DTC and PTS and probably a few others I don't remember. Here's a bit of documentation for that which was easy to find.
(also traded cpu mined coins several times with this guy: http://bitcoin-otc.com/viewratingdetail.php?nick=MobPhone&sign=ANY&type=RECV)
There are also some posts of mine in the altcoin marketplace related to coins I CPU mined, but I didn't bother to find them.
If you want to investigate XMR (or anything else) and find improprieties like, for example, misleading people about the launch time, go right ahead, but right now it looks like you aren't actually investigating, nor finding improprieties. You are just grasping at anything negative you can concoct to say about XMR as a method of throwing up a lot of nonsense to deflect attention from Evan's instamine. Still, do you think he regrets it?
This is the thing you fundamentally don't understand, coins101. Throwing insults or attacks at XMR does not help justify Dash's instamine or Evan's well-documented unscrupulous behavior surrounding it. It just makes everyone realize that you don't have any substantive refutation or justification and have necessarily gone into attack-the-attacker mode.
It also isn't going to intimidate us into keeping quiet about it so you can whitewash it and scam noobs unchallenged.
