The reason it matters is because someone knew and was able to take advantage because they had inside info. Right now you are explaining why it doesn't matter to you. It matters to me and others, I hope you see why.
To be honest, i don't see why. probably because I really don't care about the 100 ores. First time i heard about this discount code was today afternoon. I didn't have any insider info. I am interested to see how this coin will turn out. my clients have been investing heavily in internet of things, I sent them the white paper last year December, check back this thread if you are interested to see. The reply was from my clients that they are very interested in decentralized Iot tech because of IBM doing similar tech and since they are asking update from me. that's why i am here, to learn more about IOT and be the first to hear if this tech is successful, not because of the discounted 100 ores.
Once again this is different for you. What does it say of GDC if right out of the gate it isn't a level playing field? I don't mean that some people were late to the 10% I mean a select few were for whatever reason told while the rest weren't. Surely if you are here to pick winners GDC just lost a point.
