Re: [POLL] Does EVAN DUFFIELD regret instamining DRK/DASH at 100x emission?
Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".
Time to go to bed and try again next week?
Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone!
Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks.
Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.
Evan thought that finding and fixing the bug would take a long time, and would be ready for a new launch the next day the earliest.
No, he said "testing", which inherently takes time and can't be a "quick fix":
I obviously need to do some more testing
Well, he was a one man developer "team" so his perception of "testing" back then was probably different than what it is now. For him, back then, it could've just simply meant that he verifies that it complies ok, and when started up stays up at least 2 minutes.
That perception of the meaning of "do more testing" isn't consistent with the idea of trying again "next week", or "not within days/hours" both of which he clearly endorsed. He obviously viewed testing as being more than 2 minutes. A reply consistent with that would have been "let me take a look and I'll report back shortly" not telling people to go to sleep and come back next week.
Either he wasn't sincere about those time periods, or something or someone changed his mind between that last post and the decision to launch.
My guess is that he didn't quite know what he was doing back then and he found something in the code that he thought fixes the problem and no further testing was necessary. He probably should've practiced by launching a couple of shitcoins before the real thing.
