Does anyone else think the 2+ million coin instamine in the first 48 hours is a disgrace to everything crypto is supposed to stand for?

The darkcoin fanboys don't seem to think it's a problem. They're quick to point out that the project needed funding, but the official explanation is that the instamine was an accident. Seems like a fraudulent way of going about funding a project.

Is darkcoin a good buy, or is the project doomed because of the shady start?

What was dark coins value in the first 48hr window?

What is 2*10^6 * 0?

This is your argument, reconsider it.

I'd not invest a satoshi in DRK unless I would know exact time of the final dump.

Main assumption of insta-/premine is that coin will reach any value in near future.

I do and I also think the masternode is another scam. It seems the coin is self destructing though so don't worry about it.

What was the value of Bytecoin when they mined their own coin for 2 years? Nothing. But somehow they get grief and Darkcoin doesn't. By the way what was the value of those Dark coins within a few days and weeks of hitting the exchange? As much as a dollar in some cases, absurdly high for a generic coin that did nothing at the time.

Don't forget, no windows wallet at launch. So only dev and linux buddies insta-mined this one. Block reward was wrong at launch from what the op stated. It was 10x more. gee..

Are coin devs supposed to lay out their own money and time for free?

There is only two ways about either the darkcoin dev is incompetent or set out to scam from the word go.

So the correct way to raise funds is instamine 50% of the coin and claim is was due to a bug in KGW ?
