Hasu

After having a reasonably balanced discussion about this in another thread, it's sad to see you resort to this kind of low effort signaling.

I called Vitalik a liar in the other thread, why is this tweet worse to you?

His definition of a premine is the part that excludes the public presale. Yours isn't. You're clearly hooking into that difference in interpretation to get cheap likes from your "premine = bad" axiomatic thinking followers.https://twitter.com/antiprosynth/status/1048163926863695872 …

You make it sound like both definitions are equally viable, but you cannot define the premine to exclude the public presale. There is little difference between creating 100 tokens and selling 80 of them right away (ETH) and selling 80 of them over a few years (e.g. XRP).

Again I want to point out that I'm not against premines per se. I think they have many problems, but they are not inherently fraudulent if they are conducted in a free market between consenting adults. I only dislike Vitalik's attempt at rewriting the definition of a premine.

By my definition, Ethereum didn't have a premine even. To me, premine implies that supply was mined secretly before the general public had a chance. Ethereum's initial distribution was completely transparent and open to the general public.

I hear you, but that's not the common definition. Since you mention transparency a lot, did you read my piece on the presale? What do you respond to the problem that insiders were able to buy ETH from themselves for free?

He did launch a very successful pyramid scheme, that made him very wealthy.

where the FUCK is my quantam computer then

I used to think his tweets had deeper meaning I was unable to grasp. But at this point it's just dumb and weird nonsense.
