And what is the DEV position about this issue, in the first place he made the auction without asking anybody, and the only explanation he gave was that "some people found the captcha to complicated and that an auction was the simple way to distribute the coin, and the only difference was that the BTC were for him and not for captcha-miners"....is the same guy that wanted to distribute to the maximum number of people? that didn't wanted his coin to be monopolized? how an auction help a coin to not be monopolized, if it will just be on the hands of the guys with more economical power?
one of his main issues was , the amount of time and effort that distracted him away from developing , it was a full time job just keeping the website and faucet functioning , then add onto that 50 angry faucet solvers complaining when the faucet dried out cos the daily amount in the faucet was claimed , i think it might of be an "ah fuck it moment"
he was spending all his time trying to do right by people , causing him not to be able to actually code for the coin and even then it was constant complaints , i think he choose it for the easy less trouble option , so he could get back to work coding
