We can dig up the old Block explorer.
I demand that this is done in order to view the last block created on the old chain, which will tell us the total number of coins in circulation at the time of the swap.
Sounds good. Can you find a copy of the old block explorer?
Once the coin goes into PoS though all 36 million are the total. I think the coins had to be made don't they? So who owns them is the only gripe?
No if I could find a copy of the block explorer then I would have irrefutable evidence that more coins were created then necessary. It is reasonable to believe that all copies are lost.
Do you understand what a theoretical maximum is?
The maximum number of bitcoins that can ever be created is 21 million.
The maximum number of old exclusive coins that could ever be created was 60 million. But right off the bat, kingscrown "destroyed" 23.5 million of the coins. That left a MAXIMUM, see:
MAXIMUM, greatest, highest, biggest, largest, top, topmost, most, utmost, maximal number of coins to ever be created was 36.5 million. Not "when proof of work ends, this will keep staking past 36.5 million". At LEAST 20 million coins were created out of thin air in the swap.
Yeah it stakes past 36.5 million but that was the total just like BitCoin has a total. You can say 21 Million Bitcoin were made and then STORJ goes and burns 1000 Bitcoin yet there is still 21 Million. So technically it is 60 Million like I said previously and maybe that would have been the total coin ever just like BitCoin. I guess this coin is just a coin without a real total and the coin could have still progressed from 1.5 Million to 3.6 Million as the total sure but who pays the bills in that scenario?
It comes down to making the coin work now, you already sold off and I would have felt the same way about the entire deal. You just don't realize the costs that go into dealing with the coin, really wasn't fair to either party, Dev or You. That is why I am trying to mediate this situation and I don't want to insinuate you are wrong or that the dev was wrong when they were just trying to fix the coin. It won't get you closer to a solution that would benefit you or the coin to keep ranting on and on. You are slighted and on tilt, but the coin would not exist to even be slighted if a position that benefits the dev wasn't taken.
This turns out to be a good conflict to have though, it is perfect for the first ever PoS perpetual market. Using the blockchain to hold all parties accountable. I mean you were the one who inspired me to think it up since I felt you had a real gripe but not to the point of a scam. So take it or leave it or offer a better solution to the current situation, not the one we can't do anything about... It is out in the open now and the coin should be able to recover when Action is taken if this is the direction the dev decides to go towards. I think it is a one of a kind idea, let me know if someone else is doing anything similar.
