Obviously I don't know what happened besides whats posted on BCT, but I remember MinerFTW pointing out the flaws in the code that had to do with the smoothly reducing block reward taken from SpreadCoin and you seemed dead set on not listening to him.  When LDOGE was finally fixed, it had a flat 30k reward so I assume that code was ripped out.  So he told you what needed to be done to fix it, you just did the actual coding.  So technically true, but not you or anyone else would have even known to look there if it wasn't for his input.
