Calm down Its only 1/2 a bitcoin...
I'm not doing this for that little amount of money. You can keep it. I'm doing it cause I'm tired of scammer like this guy invading the bitcoin community...
First off this is not the bitcoin community
Second You have no proof that he was responsible for this scandal. So next time you blame some one for something get the evidence first.
First off you are in our webpage called 'bitcointalk' occupying space from our server.
Second you couldn't even detect the premine and you were investing your time(probably money too) into this coin, that tells me you are not very clever.
I see both those points very clearly and to be frank I have no clue on how to detect premined blocks. But you're still jumping to conclusions without solid evidence. if you get some feel free to share some sure we all like to see it.
I have to admit, both bryan23 and goatcoin look bad from this. Bryan23, from attempting blackmail, however he is attempting to justify it, and goatcoin for doing a massive premine. Bottom line is, it was goatcoin's responsibility to handle it from the start and it's still theirs to fix it responsibly. Their plan is not nearly transparent enough -- we still don't know how much they are holding back or when (or frankly if) the remainder of the coins will be destroyed. It does reek of a classic pump-n-dump, which has happened many times before so there is plenty of reason to be suspicious, there is no reason to believe their story about the rogue dev or not. There are tons of premined coins out there already and the whole episode has permanently eroded any trust in the founders or the coin itself for me personally.
