I read this and only one truth I can see in what he said....
Since my name came up in that convo
The halving cards were my idea to have two cards and together make one image.
And yes idea was to have them all loaded on the first block of the halving. So that part is the only truth.
my whole problem with his explanation about keeping keys to fund them with the first block - you dont need pk's to do funding , addresses can do that.
so wtf have copies? and then after they were funded why then not destroy the keys?

then he said oh I found the gold keys too...
