Your trolling is illogical. Why would someone restart the blockchain when it's already been used by countless people since it's release? Restarting it at that point would be scam-like.

Unlike Dash, where it had more than enough time to restart the blockchain during it's 2 day instamine scam.

Countless people? In what, 2 weeks? Please Roll Eyes

Yeah the flocking of people to the coin was really very fast. For one thing there was a built in interest base of people who were already following/mining/trading BCN and wanted a new non-premined fork, so they came over right away (most or all of the core team came from that). For another, the big pump of DRK was starting. Anon was hot. Monero was the hot new anon.

The OTC thread started Apr 21, and there was a lot of trading on it right away. Check the ticker: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=578192.0

Please stop the thread derailing though Brilliantrocket. You're not one of these rabid attack-the-attacker Dash fanboy types, so you know better. If you doubt the early history of Monero, create a thread for that.

Also, btw, as I pointed out earlier, the Dash instamine scam was mostly 1-day not 2-days, and most of even the first day was within a few hours. It shouldn't have been launched at all, by Evans own promises, but it could easily have been relaunched/halted after just a few hours to get rid of what was already an enormous instamine mess (million coins or so after a few hours), which is totally different from proposing relaunching something after 2 weeks with an active community and a lot of BTC already traded for it because of some code in the miner that we don't know even did anything at all (and if it did, it wasn't much, as I explained).
