1.Now I can see you are trying to argue without standing point. Did you see 1.75 million DRK sold in January?
Only a idiot will believe he sold all in january.
Let's say I know at least 7 people who bought batches of ~50k coins each totaling 350.000 coins from early miners and exchanges (early feb). And these are those I know of.
Suppose even if he sold all in january, is 42 btc bare no money? In January BTC worth more than 700 usd.
Who is "he"? There wasn't one guy mining. Go to the DRK thread and see the WTS 10.000 DRK messages by individuals.
2. Instantmine is that one or few person mine a ton of coin in the beginning of release, mostly because of low difficulty. Do you see in BC, Cinni or other POS coins case, one or few person mine a 40% of PoW coins?
In PoS coins, the developer make a ANN that everyone can mine from beginning, do you call this instantmine?
If you have a coin with, say, 16 mn coins, and by day 7 you have distributed them all, you are instamining something like 2mn coins per day. The difference being, that after the 7 days no new coin will ever be mined - so late arrivals will have to buy from the bagholders.
3. I cannot agree with you that most miners use linux, because according to what I know, majority of miners use windows.
All the large farms and at least half the miners (as individuals) run on linux. The aggregate hashpower is enormously in favor of linux. Remember that DRK did not launch as a GPU coin, but as a CPU coin. X11 didn't have a GPU miner until mid february.
Also remember that Windows QT wallet launches of CPU coins are criticized heavily due to being botnet raped.
If the dev launches with Windows QT one would say "ohhh that's a botnet coin, fu"... if he didn't "ohhh that's only for linux miners". Damn if you do, damned if you don't. If someone wants to find something bad to say, they will say it.
