Were it not for the fact that the CLAMs were dug in a particular order (probably a mistake by the digger), it never would have been clear how many there were to dig by one person. He could have simply dug slowly and essentially invisibly for a long time. Whether that would have netted a larger payoff or not is not clear to anyone, but that doesn't stop people from having opinions on it.
I own CLAM.
I am sitting on a paper loss.
I am not the whale digger.
I've been following the discussion.
What i dont really get is why such an issue because it's "one person". Why does 500k being dug/owned buy one person differ from 100k people digging/owning 5 each? We all knew what the possible total available of supply of clams were. As luck would have it, one guy hit the lottery (assuming of course that there wasn't any pre-seeding).
