@deemingtonYou are correct, a defensive posture is not welcoming and demonstrates a certain success on the part of james and patrick and all their little sock puppets du jour. As a community we should not respond to their well-poisoning efforts in this way. I do not excuse or condone it, merely try to explain it. I agree that people should be welcomed to the movement but I also think it reasonable that people should be expected to at least read the OP.
As far as your not seeing the fud goes I should thank tokyopotato's "crypto_knight" persona for providing an example right on cue. One might wonder if "happytoexist" is one of jamesonwa's noms de guerre, if they were that interesting.
Update - forgot one of your points:Sorry
deemington, you said
"The Devs sold a lot of CANN at the height of the pump... "
Do you have any evidence of that or are you just repeating team CCN's slurs and assertions? As far as I know that is a completely false statement but I am prepared to look at evidence to the contrary if you have any. Given your position as a writer on things crypto I would think you'd want to either support or retract that statement. I would hate to think the fact you used to work with tokyopotato negatively influenced the research for your writing.
end of update@elmanagerI think you missed the entire point. DeltaNine is out in the community explaining what he wants to build. In no way does he have to show you or anyone else what he is doing. The man is not here to provide entertainment nor to pump the value of CANN. It is your choice and yours alone to stripmine CANN with 250Mhs and you are not "owed" any effort to increase your returns.
@blakeaholicsIn a nutshell, CANN was originally a scrypt coin with a 1% premine and max coin supply of 500,000,000 (500 Million), released 4/20/14 and was later swapped to the X11 algorithm with a maximum coin supply of 92,000,000 (92 Million) coins. Part of this transition involved a coin swap, old for new. To facilitate this enough coins had to be generated in a premine to cover all outstanding scrypt coins, some 21 Million plus coins when the scrypt version was stopped at block 52080, IIRC. These coins had low value at the time and a chunk may even have been mined by the dev but the bottom line is that many were not claimed and simply sent to offline wallets and forgotten about.
Six months after the initial launch the first pegged exchange of 1 CANN = 1 gram took place and coin speculators drove the price of CANN to almost 20K sat (
BTC0.00020000) and the boys from cannacoin (CCN) went batshit crazy.
They hung their hats on two facts, namely that there were millions of unexchanged coins still on the block chain and that the 1:1 exchange of the 1% premine represented 5.4% of the new, reduced coin supply.
Unfortunately, in my opinion, ∆9 simply "burned" the majority of the left-over unexchanged coins by sending them to addresses for which there are no private keys, essentially destroying them. I call this unfortunate because I believe ∆9 deserved them as recompense for what he is spending setting up the grow sites and the crops to be donated for CANNdy supply or at least that they be used as a donor fund to supply mmj to patients when CANN inevitably rises to near-parity pricing some time in the future. The noise and distress created by team CCN made this impractical and ∆9 simply eliminated the source of contention (the coins that is, not team CCN).
On the second point, that the 1:1 exchange increased the premine percentage, that would be important if ∆9 was a pump-and-dump scammer attempting to enrich himself at the expense of everyone else. Since he is pouring his own funds into the enterprise and allowing others to enrich themselves from his efforts it becomes a complete non-issue. If he eventually makes money out of the commercial grows and gains from his CANN holding then more power to him, although I suspect he is more likely to donate his CANN than sell it.
Those rascally young fellows from CCN, however, have been relentlessly attempting to spin the above into a portrait of wrongdoing by ∆9. Despite having been told repeatedly they continue to claim they are onto some great scandal and insinuate that ∆9 is somehow trying to defraud the innocent and altruistically-intentioned cryptocurrency community. And if you believe that they'll tell you another.
