In the grand scheme of things, for a coin with an ultimate total supply of 1 Billion, the initial error is virtually negligible. Far more damage would be done to the reputation of the project by negating the work of those who saw the potential right from the start IMHO. Who would mine it if they knew that, should a bug be discovered in future and enough people complained about it not being fair, their mining time and wallets would be wiped out on a whim? And not just those who benefited from the bug either, but everyone.

Here, among the endless stream of worthless ICOs and copy/paste crap that makes up 99.9% of the Ann forum, is a project that at launch had a working product, a good whitepaper (albeit with some glaring typos), a decent website, wallets and pools ready to go, no ICO, no pre-mine, and a clear vision to be something other than a "me too" coin. You really want to risk all of that because a few people got lucky for a few hours?
