I'd be interested to hear what others have to say. I've seen quite a few people in the Just-Dice chat arguing that the 15 million "undug" CLAM is a huge liability, and makes people hold back from investing in the coin.
I am no guru on this but a couple thoughts from my side
1. This person has to own allot of Btc address, incl private, to even claim these free clam digs!
Q: How would anyone have access to so many addresses?
Q: Person has not made themselves known, surely if you had all these addresses and clams, you would shout - not in this case
Q: - Based on the above have the required amount of btc in each address before May 12 2014?
-- all seems questionable and illegitimate claims of clam
If not, then i would love to hear from this person or group of people involved?
Any successful service that has a wallet per user will control MANY funded addresses. Think about online wallets, markets, laundry services, gambling sites, etc. etc. etc.
You could be looking at hundreds of thousands of addresses controlled by a single entity.
That's in fact the major tradeoff with "blockchain distribution" - service operators will get the lion share of the pie, while their users will get nothing.
