I think the dev should do something to fix the impacts from the 10000 bounty bug.

This bug have given large amount of profits to early miners, however, the mining difficult now is about 40x than before. Ignoring these impacts is not a good solution.

Dev should restart the Chain and start mining from Block 1 again...
To have overlooked the reward of 10000 for 1680 blocks is not correct...
Diff is 40X now and Reward has cut down from 10000 to 500...
This is not fair.

In the grand scheme of things, for a coin with an ultimate total supply of 1 Billion, the initial error is virtually negligible. Far more damage would be done to the reputation of the project by negating the work of those who saw the potential right from the start IMHO. Who would mine it if they knew that, should a bug be discovered in future and enough people complained about it not being fair, their mining time and wallets would be wiped out on a whim?

Here, among the endless stream of worthless ICOs and copy/paste crap that makes up 99.9% of the Ann forum, is a project that at launch had a working product, a good whitepaper (albeit with some glaring typos), a decent website, wallets and pools ready to go, no ICO, no pre-mine, and a clear vision to be something other than a "me too" coin. You really want to risk all of that because a few people got lucky for a few hours?

You make a valid point.
Then Dev should continue mining with Rewards set to 10000 till another 10k or 20k blocks instead of suddenly reducing it to 500.
That would give a chance to everyone to get 10k rewards.

I agree with Speedie, starting the chain over is much worse PR than just fixing a bug and moving on. An error like this can't just wait until thousands more blocks are mined in the name of "fairness", it will mess up the entire emission plan. I think a lot of people are complaining because they missed out on the higher rewards and now want everything to start over. I consider it an "early adopters bonus", sorry that not everything is 100% fair.
