Well you could take that analogy to mean that. But essentially you are saying that you are not interested in CLAM changing in any way, so if anyone wants to change anything about the coin they need to leave? I get that you have an opinion. But a lot of us really like CLAM and want it to get better. Why start from scratch when you have something amazing already with just some imperfections?
I don't consider the digging an imperfection. It is at the very core of what the coin is about. It's all over the branding. It is rediscovered by new community members every time the price goes up. It is the main thing that makes this coin different from many other pure PoS coins.
Furthermore I don't see blacklisting the undug clams as particularly different from any other blacklisting. They are literally just outputs on the blockchain that happen to be in blocks 0-10000.
I get this argument, and I'm sure there are many on the side of "stopping digging" that are supporting it purely out of self-interest. However, there are others of us who see it as a way to strengthen CLAM and remove the uncertainty that will haunt this coin forever until changed.
Funny thing is, some of us think that much, much greater "uncertainty" will haunt the coin forever if it is changed, because it will be clear that such changes are acceptable to the community and no one can ever know what other changes will be popular in the future. Unless you buy in as a massive whale who can vote to protect your own interests, you will need to just stay away.
So yes, if you want something that is effectively "WhaleCoin", then do this. I don't think that can work, but I may be wrong. It certainly can work if the idea is to never grow beyond JD. The CLAM = WhaleCoin = JD casino chips model probably works as long as JD's whales are trusted to redeem the chips at some reasonable value.
