1. I am not a shill for anything. As we can all see from the meteoric price rise of Blackcoin, anyone who did their research and took into consideration my advice will have made themselves a small fortune. We are talking 1200% gains even for the latecomers that people like you said had missed the boat. I must be a funny shill if I've given great advice that would have made people a LOT of money if they followed it.  

2. Lets make this simple. I would rather have a 1 week PoW proof of work distribution process than a 1 YEAR "hand out money to anyone" process. When comparing the two the time length is irrelevant. You have NO WAY of knowing that the developer hasn't gamed his own system and given himself an absurd amount of coins... which he can dump onto unsuspecting investors. Go ahead and try and prove me wrong - you can't. You can't "game" mining -  if you could someone would "game" mining bitcoin and make themselves rich. If you want a lot of coins you have to have a lot of mining hashpower and that costs money. Compared to someone handing coins out and giving themselves coins for free? With no publicly verifiable ledger? Come on now.

3. Not only that, the price of Blackcoin remained low and super cheap for weeks. Faircoin immediately jumped straight up to a falsely pumped price. At least with Blackcoin, people could buy in cheaply if they missed out mining.

4. The crypto community never supports heavily pre-mined coins. 2 months from now this coin will be called a scam whenever it's mentioned. I've been here over a year and post here daily I know what I am talking about.

The Mac client http://fac.blockx.info/faircoin-0.9.0.1-macosx.dmg seems to crash on mid 2010 Mac (and earlier ).

I have tested the client on hardware of early 2011 and more recent and it works fine,  can anybody else test it and post your success/failure with your hardware specs?

thanks
