Re: [ANN] BlackCoin (BC) | on exchanges | PoS | No premine
Why did Hash choose MINT really
Because I asked 
Notice I could ask for BC too... I think MINT and BC should not fight at each other - I know several persons who are supporters of both MINT and BC. Still, I wonder how both currencies could walk hand in hand without being counter-productive. I welcome any suggestion (the "we don't destroy the environment' part could help, but won't suffice, I think).And, no we did not bribe them. But you are free to disbelieve me.
(I don't remember someone at MINT ever accusing BC of bribing someone. How elegant from BC to accuse of felony)
Coins bribe exchanges and pools all the time, it isn't precedent setting.
As the owner of hashcows, mint came and asked. I was thinking blackcoin might also be a fit, once any kinks were worked out with the process, but didn't realize it was such a one or the other decision from the blackcoin community.
Fair enough, but its typically a safe bet people have gotten some kind of kickback. Its rare people do anything for free and I don't have any experience from mint or hashcows doing otherwise.
I also do not speak for anyone but myself.
So as you say, 'its rate people do anything for free'...if the MINT crew paid me a bounty to add their coin, why would you consider such a payment a bribe, vs. paying for the work required to make it happen? Its not like I had this feature ready to go and said 'pay me X coins to get yourself listed'.
I thought of BC as I was building this feature, I was in at launch, I've been idling in the irc channel since launch, have made some profits on personal trades with it. Quickly losing interest in it though with such silliness. oh well.
BC fundamentals did not change, the people you are arguing with are not BC ambassadors so you should not lose your interest in this coin because of it.
