How about a scam where the DOGE makers mess around with the random number generator, and generate the maximum for all the blocks that they happen to be mining?

These coins are open source, sure, but I wonder if they can screw around with the code pre-compiling?

So basically what you're saying is, you don't understand how mining works at all?
I'm not even sure what he means by the code pre-compiling
Maybe he's hardcore into c++'s preprocessor?

I just brushed it off as I got the gist of what he meant. People modifying the source and making their own build.
Not that it matters, this potential issue was already considered way back when the foundation for Bitcoin was made.
