Re: [POLL] Does EVAN DUFFIELD regret instamining DRK/DASH at 100x emission?
That has nothing to do with regulating the initial distribution of a digital currency. Evan was fully within his rights to determine how Dash would be distributed, and furthermore, make changes in the future. He could have premined it 100% and sold the coins for $1000 a piece, and it still wouldn't be illegal. It's obvious that you're grasping at straws.
And, ANYONE can make any changes to the code (including emission adjustments), it's up to the miners and peers to download and agree to the code change.
You realize that Dash at that time, was closed-source. The only one who could have made changes to the code was the developer(Evan Duffield). Couple that with the fact that he was able to mine so many Dash(We can also infer that his hashpower would have been high during that time), and he should have been more than able to implement any changes in the code and get it accepted by himself alone.
No, I don't realize that. Is that the accuracy you do your "investigations" irl as well?
Are you trying to dispute the fact that Dash was closed-source? If you have no idea what happened, then do not continue to post here as you're wasting my time. I also added more.
Yes? The source was available, people were compiling their wallets from the source on their own computers.
See this post for example: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg4607289#msg4607289
I see, closed source in the sense that the darksend was closed. Ok the source was available on github, yet the page isn't there.
There was no Darksend at the launch. It came to be months later. Yes, the source was there, people could download and compile it. The old link is dead probably because the name changed from XCOIN to Darkcoin. Or maybe for some other reason. Doesn't change the fact that the source was there.
EDIT: I see you there wow. Quite a character change:
It would be so hard to realse a coin with compiled wallets? Oo
No but it would be hard for dev to instamine with them.wut.. no premine but you have 5k to throw? 
And that has to do with the facts I've stated, what exactly?
I was previously unknown of the fact that you were around then. The character change is interesting, probably because you benefitted financially from it.
So me debunking your "proofs" is a "character change"? If it helps you sleep better at night then so be it.
I know the launch sucked, a lot of coins were mined fast in the beginning. I was one of the people mining it. What I (and probably everyone else) thought at the time, was that I had mined a whole bunch of worthless coins. And the price the following weeks further proved that sentiment. The ongoing rate for OTC trades was 10k for 0.25 BTC. So yea, cool if someone managed to mine 100k, the value of that amount was 2.5 BTC, boohoo. Those who mined and didn't sell, and those who bought cheaply, profited the most. Isn't that the case everywhere?
