sure, so there is some mined ones - didn't check every single input of course. Doesn't help either interpretation since anyone can mine coins.
Proving things beyond doubt from blockchains alone will be hard though because
there can always be doubts constructed. If you want to stick to the lucky whale theory, fine with me aswell. I don't buy that though.
I think it's up to the people to decide for themselves if an incredibly lucky whale was buying 575k coins at exchange (all of them from airdrops directly, only few coins mined but no coins that have been transacted on the chain before between people)
Or the much more likely answer for people who are not biased from holding bags:
Balduro, who is hiding himself and does an unsupervised airdrop is giving coins to himself like everyone would in his situation
Wether people want to buy into a coin with an unaccounted for premine of 50% where there are clear indicators of laundering that for private gain or not will ultimately be up to everyone themselves.
Sorry for yelling. What i hate is corruption and people biased from bagholding is exactly that. Maybe that's why i tend to flip a bit.
I think i'll be watching the discussion from here for a bit while looking around the chain some more. Doubts can always be constructed of course.
I can only say
caveate emptorfacts are:
-balduro is as gone as he can be (probably hiding in a cave in the mountains with his laptop)
-the airdrop/premine is not accounted for in the slightest way
Your yelling is excused (I get emotional too from time to time, especially when I suspect people misusing their power to enrich themselves) and I value your your input.
You are right: everyone is biased by his portfolio and it can be extremely hard to accept facts that mean ones position is unprofitable or one has helped a criminal or things like that (see the pirateat40 fiasko for example).
I guess we'll just have to live with the uncertainty for a couple of months. Greatest danger is balduro not burning the remaining premine. Until then, investing in AUR is a gamble with extreme risk (and extreme potential reward). It is anyway because we don't know wether it'll work at all. Everybody has to decide on his own what he does and wether he can live with the potential consequences.
Again: thanks for your input, I'll try to keep an open mind and I'm pondering more intensive blockchain analysis (don't really have the time, though)... I know, it's hard to prove stuff conclusively, but more data would indeed be good.
I'll be digging and keep you posted about new finds.
