Has duffield ever offered to burn the instamine...or at least most of it? That's a pretty big pile of shit to hide under the rug...
I don't doubt the Dash team's talent or resolve, but this will haunt them until the end.
That being said...btc's instamine is worse.
First of all, Evan owns only a percentage of those coins, there were a lot of miners. My guess is 10% or so, but that doesn't matter, and I don't really know. I do know he was buying them up from miners (obviously, he didn't have as many as he wanted to have). He's also spent a lot of coins to pay for infrastructure, and just today, because of a mistake last month and this month, he paid the developers out of pocket, what they should have received from the blockchain.
He offered to restart Xcoin/Darkcoin/Dash, the community said no
He offered to do an airdrop to anyone who wanted coins, by doubling the amount, the community said no.
There was no way to fix the problem. He had miners that sold their coins, and people that spent their money on buying coins, to kill it would not only anger the community, it would have ensured nobody would support him the next go-round.
Finally, every coin is instamined. Even if initial distribution was to 10,000 people, which would be incredible, it's super centralized when you consider there are over 7 billion people in the world. So the whole issue is beyond a stupid argument.
What is a crypto currency? It's a SERVICE. Dash functions like cash, instant payments and free to use (except for all the corruption that causes fiat cash to actually cost the consumer a hefty percentage). When you own a coin, any coin, you own a piece of the infrastructure. You could think of it like stock in a company, though it's not really stock, it's also a token to trade without boarders.
So, does the person who invests his time and energy, puts his face out there, and builds a currency, that can be seen as an enterprise deserve a large stake in the company he is building? Certainly! Only a fool wouldn't want Evan to profit from building Dash. If he couldn't profit, he wouldn't be working so hard. And his worth only grows if his coin grows. Talk about incentive!
Anyway, I couldn't care less what any of the trolls think, they're simply trolling. You have so many "coins" below your name, I can only assume you're also trolling as you should know how this all works better than most, but since I don't have you on ignore (yet) I will assume for now that you're genuinely asking. Which I sincerely doubt.
