There is reference to an asic earlier in this thread. May be the concept to buy asic with the bounty? If so is not this just a way of the dev paying themself from the premine?I'm inquiring to not fud, just a prior gold coin dev that i committed to do this, I see this as absolutely nothing apart from taking a cut of the premine?
There's no premine in Monero. Perhaps you're thinking of Dash?
There are (hundreds?) many new accounts popping up, all with capital 'I' replacing 'l' and they are all bots. Instant ignore for that name. You'd think the forum would do something about it, but maybe they make money from it. Maybe they belong to Theymos.
