The purpose of this coin is anti-mining pools and to achieve that we need more nodes to join the network, and to for that you need to create more awareness of this project maybe by signature campaign but destroying those coins will not achieve anything.
And why there was no voting on this?
We made the decision after comprehensive analyzing some feedbacks from emails and forum. I think for a year of bounty, 23,000 luck should be enough, otherwise it would be unfair to miners.
