Evan does not own 500+ nodes. Otoh our largest investor currently owns about 430 nodes as he divested a big portion of his nodes in favor of more distribution and a healthier network, also giving new whales the opportunity to buy in. Having said that, I don't see why the minimum age for a proposal could not be changed to 48 or 72 hours to always give the network more time. I think that is a really good suggestion.
How would you know?
I ran the numbers 6 months ago, but I estimated Evan should have mined 750,000+ in the first 24-48 hours with the hashrate he himself claimed to have at the time... that's 750MNs already... (not that he necessarily has them online right now)
Then they start collecting 50% of the mining share as masternodes, he should have 1000+ by now...
Where did he state his hash rate? Why was he buying up 20,000 coins at a time in those early days if he already got 40% of all the coins created? And so many people knew how to rent amazon servers to mine via cpu. There were so many people that knew and were doing it. I think you are way off. The highest estimate I could come up with was that Evan has 200,000 coins, including the ones he bought, minus what he spent on awards and other things. I think also, that he is more than worth the price.
