I notice your sign didn't say: "Please steal out money"
I think that "mining coins" != "steal money", if previous version of SAFE allowed GPU miners and notaries mining with low diff - it can be mined both ways. And if somebody found a way how to mine it easier - this is not a reason to blame him.

When the KMD dev sees a flaw in our code and chooses to exploit it, it's a problem. Do you think we intended for Komodo genesis notaries to be able to mine free coins? Was that our mistake, hell yes it was and it was a damn bad one because it turns out the KMD devs are not to be trusted.

All coins go through a development phase where certain features are not yet activated. This coin is less than 6 weeks old. Are we expected to have a perfect code base and all infrastructure developed from day one? An ethical dev would have notified us of the problem, not hatched a scheme to stealth mine as many coins as possible just in case they're worth something one day. Now when caught he continues to blame us and call us the scammers when the only verified scammers in this idiocy are him and his merry band of cohorts. Pondsea was really quite excited by the prospects, it's a sight to behold. This is really indefensible behavior. Greed is a hell of a drug.


Dont claim you improved dPoW then. Why did you do that? Why do you even claim you have dPoW when you have no notaries?

I know $50 is a lot of money for you so you wont believe me when I say that the $600 value of the 60000 SAFE is not of any concern to me. (maybe a penny each is being too generous)

My concern is that there isnt some half baked coin claiming to be a KMD fork when anybody can destroy the network. It looks like maybe the latest fixes might have a chance, but I only glanced at it and it feels some stuff is missing.

Let me know when you feel it is fixed and I will do some free pen testing for you. I promise to donate any of the SAFE I get so it is clear it is not any attempt to get free coins. Clearly you dont feel anything is owed to the creator of the coin you forked and that is your right, but it does seem a bit extreme to rollback the chain over a fraction of the premine.
