That is assuredly a lie at this point. I am 100% sure this was a Dev scam from the start.
The proof is in the GetValue code, there was a deliberate attempt at obfuscating the premine in the code, from the start. There is no doubt about that at this point.
micron thanks for your expertise ( from which I not much understand ) . but I am not bad in psychology : why dev said , 60 billion premine , when you all experts say it was 3.2 billion premine ? not going much into long reasoning into possible deep trickstery, this IMHO sounds as dev was somewhat badly informed. Another question: not being a coder : this line in code is very unique ? for instance peercoin does not have same line in code ? another question : as far as I understand such code is more or less open source. is it theoretically possible that someone modified this code ?
