I know, it sucks that mining isn't worth it right now and initial distribution was not very good but the project does seem to have a a good future because it was built from scratch.
I tend to disagree that the fact it was built from scratch makes this project automatically a good project. Healthy initial distribution is indeed a valuable factor which does not seem to exist here. I think it should always be as transparent as possible to give people a realistic chance to assess whether they want to join a project or not. Shady distribution can destroy everything. And I say "can" because DASH is a coin that proved otherwise. But I don't think too many coins will pull off another DASH.
Indeed built from scratch isn't a factor that decides if a project is good or not, the continuous development is. About the distribution why do you think is not fair? as everyone can mine it, not only few peeps. ANd the fact that is GPU mineable and asic resistent for the moment make it decentralised like bitcoin gold.
Ok I got your point but from what I head the initial mining was very centralized. And also, is the long term vision to be mineable as decentralized as possible?
