I'm using statistics and surverys done on the subject, so you are in fact pointing out "facts", not inaccuracies. And according to those statistics 90% of all computers have windows, thats the simple fact. There's no getting around it, and yes you are trying to justify it, don't tell me otherwise when it's obvious by your wording and sentences.
No dude you're full of shit...general statistics on the global computing population don't represent the mining community. Do some research on mining.
Sounds like your opinion is based on your own experience of mining. You know that people run scale-out mining operations on AWS, with Linux? You think the serious GPU guys are putting hard disks into all their rigs and installing fucking billyware?
Sweet jesus
It is extremely, extremely dishonest/unethical for a coin(dash/darkcoin) to have had 500 coins per block being emitted, to which over 1million coins were mined in under 10 hours, then another 1million mined for the next 30 hours,
I said _nothing_ about that. All I said was that a coin launching with linux-only, windows-only or whatever only is TOTALLY FAIR. You don't have to mine it if you don't want to - how is it unfair?
Until you show me statistics about the mining community, then please shut up. You're not making any sense and I'm starting to think you're a troll. I've presented studies, facts, all you've presented is your ignorant "opinion".
It's fair? Are you dumb? Now, you're just letting your investment do the talking. Shame, I used to do the same.
Let me explain it simpler for you:1) Dash/Darkcoin was released on linux only, to which less than 2% of computers on Earth have installed
2) There were 500 coins per block at release
3) Over 1million coins were instamined in 10 hours
4) Another 1million+ coins were instamined in the next 30 hours
5) The instamine stops
6) The developers of Dash cut the block reward by more than half
7) They then cut the coin supply from
80million to 20million(Way more than half)
Viola, in that period of time, the extremely small amount of linux users(Which happened to be the developers mostly and friends we can infer) mined over 2million Dashes, all while instantly making those Dashes worth over 3x more than they were when they first started mining, since they cut the coin supply.
BTW, to make that story even sketchier/scammier, at the time, Dash had no future, there were no plans to add anonymity to it, It was called Xcoin back then. This further shows that the instamine was intended and was mostly done by the developer, as there were absolutely no incentives for regular folk to mine this coin since it was just a random clonecoin with no future back then(Still is now, but has more features).
Is that easy enough for your small brain to understand?
