As you say the fund was set aside for silver coins and it should be used for it or be distributed to every original stake holder . Devs dont have time for silver coin project ,so easiest way just distribute xem .
Was there ever an actual statement about plans for this?
Anyway, my position hasn't changed. Initial stakeholders did very well. I don't think they need any more money. What's left over should be going towards benefiting NEM as a whole.
