I know I'm an asshole but I have to admit it gives a sense of satisfaction to see how people complain they weren't given proper warning of the CAIx switch when it was plain as day for a long ass time. Those people deserve what they get.... Nothing!
Nope - you are an asshole for being so short sighted and not accepting that it is irrelevant whether or not people were aware of the switch. There were more CAI mined than CAIx available - simple logic says that given that fact, some people would get nothing.
Don't waste your time arguing. I went around and around on this issue and several others last week, and got nothing but derision and dismissal. TheStuhlman did offer to exchange my CAI, but I don't think I've received any CAIx yet (I know it will take time) and I've seen no indication from anyone who didn't lose coins that there might have been a better way to handle the transition. Apparently the devs nailed it on the first try and there is no room for discussion. All coins transitioning from PoW to PoS in the future should handle it exactly as it was handled here.
