That stupid thread was the one where the BCN shills stuffed the ballot to keep with the fast curve, most likely to maximize their potential to mine with their non-deopmitized miner, ideally for a long time (since instamining is impossible).

Unfortunately for them it didn't work out because: 1) others optimized the miner privately too (dga and probably others), 2) the community optimized the public miner within a month or so, and 3) the community developed GPU miners.

The curve is about twice as fast as Bitcoin. I wanted it slower but I'm not sure twice as fast as Bitcoin is bad, given much faster adoption now. For the first two years or so, very few people even knew Bitcoin existed and there was no cryptocoin community. The situation is very different now.

It doesn't really matter though, pretty much no matter what we say you will continue bashing Monero, hyping your vapor coin, worshiping Armstrong, creating new accounts, and begging for money. So carry on.
