What does it matter? Coins were so cheap..  You could have bought 200k for 10. Btc

It means that instaminers still didn't have to pay anything.

10 btc that much considering it would be 2 millions now? Roll Eyes

Yep, but nobody knew. For miners the mined coins were nearly worthless and never considered to reach that worth. Standard rate for selling was something like 1000 DRK for 0.02 / 0.025 BTC and that was also the price when it hit the exchanges ~2 weeks later, gradually escalating upwards.



Exactly. I remember CHAOSiTEC rejoicing in making $8000 by selling tens of thousands of DRK to a buyer early on. I wonder how he's feeling these days?

Anyway, none of us had a time machine to know today's price, so ridiculous numbers of coins went for cheap. And this has been heavily traded ever since. The "instamine" argument is moot.
