Perhaps Monero was a pump & dump after all. The miners rigged the original vote about reasonable emission curve in their hopes of making money with optimized (non-deoptimized) mining software. It worked. The promise of finally having something fresh in the altcoin scene, with fair launch and compelling new tech was so good.

I think the only people who have understandable grounds in opposing the emission cut are the only ones who benefit from the current situation - the privileged miners, ones who should not even exist, according to my understanding from the others who are deeply involved. If I have been wrong and such people do exist, their short-term interest is to have as high emission as possible (same as in April when they foiled the vote the last time). Long term (a few months probably), the coin is mortally wounded, but to them it does not matter.

A common tactic in high-profile voting is to demonize the ones who lean on the opposite side. But that's what I am going to do anyway Grin

If you reject the proposal of the emission cut, the hardest part for me is that I am not sure if you even have Monero's good in mind.

Hey, how about we change this discussion to the Monero Forum! It is a better software than this!

^^^This kind of stuff is why I don't join self-important harmless-at-best granfalloons like the BTC Foundation and your MEW.

You knew the emission curve when you bought and it is not fair to change the rules in the middle of game.

Since you are demonizing, I will up the ante and psychologize:

Please take a vacation for the remainder of the low phase of your manic depressive cycle. And don't forget your crazy pills!

Monero is only six months old and not even complete; it's far too early to panic because you're getting cold feet and going off the rails (again).

The emission will not be changed merely to assuage your desire for a short-term pump attempt.

You are hereby relieved of your duties as the CEO Of Monero until such time as you regain your composure and stop creating unhealthy controversial FUD about the settled issue of (main body, non-tailend) emission.

If you want out, feel free to dump at a loss into my stronger hands. Wink

Hey IB when you have the time throw me with a pm, I have happy happy material for ya.

Thanks
