They could airdrop an equal share to everyone who has posted on this board from today's date, backward. Clearly anyone who has posted in this thread has been interested in mining Dark.
That would be fair and would help stop Darkcoin from being vulnerable to a new X11 coin launch from a dedicated dev team that includes ALL of the features of Darkcoin AND also has a fairer launch without the 10% instamine. You guys keep trashing cryptohunter but coins are a little like running for political office and if we all want Darkcoin to go mainstream, then it needs to be able to survive a political attack ad. Cryptohunter is giving the taste of what that ad would look like. People don't want to join a coin if they think that there is a massively unfair distribution and once a smart dev releases a true Darkcoin copy with newer features and also a fair launch, Darkcoin may end up shrinking in distribution as people leave to that future coin. (No 500 coin block rewards every couple of seconds and then change the block reward and time per block from seconds to 2.5 minutes only AFTER the instaminer has collected around 1.7 million coins.)
I also think that a fear that airdropping coins to much of the current Darkcoin loyalists here would kill the coin is just noise. Realistically, if the Airdrop did happen and the price did drop back to .0008 or so I would quickly drop a few thousand in at those prices because without the 10% Instamine PR problem, DRK at that price would be a steal. Further, any coins I would get would be added to my small stash and saved for a much later date (2015, 2016) and if the devs did a distribution of all the coins that were mined until the 500 block reward was changed, I think block 4500; That would clear the way for Darkcoin to never be attacked ever again as an unfair instamined coin that launched in the middle of the night with no windows wallet and 500 block rewards every couple seconds where the Dev and his launch buds claimed in the first 48 hours, almost half the coins that will be mined in the first whole year of mining. In fact, the reputation of the Darkcoin creators would reach lore status and the story of how the Devs of Darkcoin refunded the "bugged" coins to its loyal miners would be talked about in news stories and repeated as Darkcoin grows.
If there was a bug that allowed some to unfairly enrich themselves, then once that bug was fixed, shouldn't those who were unfairly enriched because of said bug also return those coins? Especially if most of those coins are being held by the creators and they have the means to easily return those "bugged" coins to the current miners who are doing the work to keep this coin alive in partnership with the dev.
This PR problem and the risk of a good and fair Darkcoin clone coming out is very real and will only get bigger as time goes on unless it is rectified.

The correct thing to do would have been to abort the launch and try again unless the point was to get a bunch of coins out in a day or two - this will always remain an issue, don't see a good way to fix it. That being said, I've bought a bit of drk as a curiosity but do know some people that simply passed on this coin because of the day 1 stuff.
