Let's not go back and forth on the same issue. Saying there was a crippled miner in the code that was forked from Bytecoin in a hurry, and was clearly crippled intentionally in Bytecoin, does not mean that crippled miner was intended as a scam for Bitmonero. It may have been, but there was no evidence of it.

If the code changes that TFT made in doing his fork had anything at all to do with the miner, then I'd acknowledge that he had at least looked at it. In fact, he did the typical altcoin copy/paste fork of changing a few parameters and launching, which had nothing to do with the miner at all.

If you disagree, create a thread and see if anyone believes you or cares. It seems people do believe the Dash instamine happened and they do care about it given the number of threads created about it and the amount of discussion they attract.

Back on the thread topic of whether Even regrets the Dash instamine. What do you think, coins101?
