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.
Business is business, coins want to be listed and added to pools and they pay in what they have. Bribe/payment/bounty, no reason to get caught in the silliness yourself.
BC will rub people the wrong way as that is the nature of this coin as it does not confirm to the "normal". BC can't be changed or stopped on any silliness or drama in forum threads.
Your implication was 'Why did hashcows add mint? oh, they must have bribed them.'. My only point is, all you had to do was ask, and I don't appreciate the implication. Last I'll make any mention, as its not worthwhile.
Happy Mining.
