BTW, TBCM didn't say anything about accidental. It would fit his definition equally well if the initial difficulty were deliberately set too low. Not that I'm holding up TBCM as an authority on the definition of instamine. I just quoted that for the date, since you claimed that the term instamine was created or popularized by Monero supporters which is flatly ridiculous when it was widely discussed months before Monero existed.
correct, TBCM was talking about coins that were "intentionally" set too low (according to his personal preferences). there are plenty of Proof of stake coins that were "intentionally" instamined within a few days or weeks where "all" the coins were instamined/fastmined and then they switched to POS mining/minting. these were sold as/advertised as a feature not an accidental bug like DASH.
Was The Instamine A Positive Thing For Dash?
https://dashdot.io/alpha/?page_id=118i don't think we know who first coined the word instamine do we? are you claiming it was TBCM?
you're definitely wrong that the term instamine was not "popularized by Monero supporters". iloveanoncoin was one as you yourself pointed out. monero supporters have used/repeated the term instamine more than all the other coin communities put together, they totally "popularized" it and associated it with Darkcoin/DASH. congratulations
