I don't remember if DMD had an IPO for (let's call it) "development", but if they/you had it's just so bad. You are collecting people's funds based on ideas alone, not on results. The reason that new features get funded in BURST is not speculation; we know, e.g., our AT-dev and happily award him coins for the work we know he is willing to do and complete.
PoS has one advantage: it's even more power saving than PoC, +20 percent if I recall it correctly, but that's about it. The PoC network is secured by miners just like PoW, and that's a great thing as the devs always need to keep mining interesting with the possibility of value increasements due to invention - not due to a damn algorithm. In the case of BURST, we are just in a period of such invention and increasing value is ahead to those who both buy and mine (after a period without a maindev).
Sorry for using "we" here, I am not part of the Dev Team but the "we" come pretty naturally with such tight community and soon two years of involvement one way or the other.
DMD started also with zero premine same as BURST
its good to see people here are with hearth blood defending their coin
but im not attacking
i posted my opinion u posted ur opinion
topic still open for other voices
i did a fast calculation buy hdd capacity never beats buy coins on exchange
so mining with POC is paradise for people who have access to shitload unused storage
IT admins of companies
owner of IT parts shops
who for real can see if the new HDD u bought didnt spend a few month mining POC
before u bought it....
all i wana say is the world is not fair always some kind of people have advantage
and in my opinion who spend money into buy coin should have advantage
and not because of some other reasons
Sure, most things are unfair - and I'm not even sure things should be fair. Still, PoS is the worst design of PoW, PoC and PoS. And PoW has to go.
Regarding fairness, I've a bit over 100TB and haven't so far bought a single MB. What I've needed to buy is SATA cables And dedicate a shit load of time to get this whole mess to run. Everything is chaos but people actually give old boxes and drives away. With this approach I'm now at top20 of all-time forgers. Ofc, most don't have that time nor a problem begging everyone you meet for disks. Fair..? Nah....
What I'm happy about with BURST is the relentless goal of development, and I'm confident it will pay off in an epic way.
