Well, considering that you probably also hold some NUD, I understand that you may think that it is best to mute me so no one looking into this thread will become aware of the scams that were ran using NUD. But a good altcoin doesn't need such tactics. We can work together to create an altcoin community which is actually perceived as a benefit by all involved parties, with no exchanges being scammed, no one noticing that his coins are gone, etc.
It is not rocket science to run a coin in a reasonable way. But it requires the dedication to actually do so.
No one is denying the fact that scams were ran on NUD by scrypt miners exploiting a bug in the early release, thus it was decided upon that the "scammers" will be rewarded 10% of their scrypt mined coins for their contirbution to the network for revealing the bug. If you don't think that the decision was just you can freely open your own thread and start a fork, I very much doubt that you'd get a lot of followers that are willing to sabotage the well-being of the network in exchange for their unjustly mined NUD.
The decision was made in such a manner as to upset the least miners, had we not reduced the fraudulently mined coins to 10% people would claim that I abused the bug to mine coins for myself (e.g. a premine).
Well, who saw the code first, and could actually schedule a 7-day scrypt mining operation? It was you. Everybode else had to wait for the release. So, I doubt any smart person would be deceived by the rude wording you use for the scrypt miners whose success was enabled by the software you released. Reducing the premine to 10% does not change this.
But this topic is really boring. What I find more interesting than deciding about how much reduction a premine needs in order to look less suspicious are things like the altcoin exchange scamming scheme seen on this thread. No doubt a smart move in order to secure some tiny profit, but I am somewhat sceptical if it will benefit the altcoin world.
Where there is original innovation there will always be bugs present, if you don't like that you might want to invest into some clonecoin.
Some innovators rather invest in decent skills, which buys them a community which doesn't have to run buggy software.
What? Who could schedule a 7-day scrypt mining operation? Uhhhh.......anyone with a few bucks for an ASIC or a few fractions of a BTC to rent some mining power? You aren't making sense.
The scrypt bug was discovered very quickly after the coin was launched, it was no big secret. Can you please point me toward anyone who still says they never got their 10% from after the blockchain reset? How does angering a bunch of miners, cutting the coin count to 10% (which would include the coins that the dev supposedly secretly mined using a bug that wasn't even secret?), and actively discouraging NUD from being trading on an exchange be profitable at all? Either NUD is legit, or the dev is guilty of running the most convoluted scam ever conceived in crypto.
The irony is everyone was too busy bitching and moaning about all the NUD they lost after the blockchain reset to realize that CPU mining was piss easy. I solo mined more NUD with 3 desktop CPUs and 1 laptop in the week after the reset than I did BEFORE the blockchain reset with scrypt mining.
