Then reset the ledger if you fuck up. it was literally only 24 hours old at the time."

anyone want to bet if it was reset this btc maximalist would complain about immutability like with ethereum?

from what i understand they did not realize the extent of the instamine at first because there were no block explores. once they knew what happened they voted and it was decided it would be unfair to reset and just to keep going. anyone that bought (or missed out) after that can not claim scam. 
most of those coins were dumped on the market for very cheap and anyone could have bought as many as they wanted. also, almost just as many coins have been hacked from exchanges over the last 2 years and dumped for cheap. there was plenty of opportunity to buy cheap coins (under $2.25) as recently as january of this year 2016.
afaik the largest dash holder otoh bought all his coins and did not mine any. i bought all my coins on the free market under $2.25 and did not mine any.  the only people claiming scam are the ones who for whatever reason failed to buy those cheap coins.
