Calm reminder that a coin can be VC funded AND fair launched, and that literally EVERYBODY in the
$kas community is aware of the Polychain seed investment, which was transparent from the start (ffs it was announced in press releases 6 months before mainnet launch, it is clearly stated in the wiki, I personally reiterated this in interviews, what more do you want? A Mariacci band informing you of DAGlab's investors in a singing telegram?).
For the 1000th time: that Kaspa is fairly launched means there was no premine, ICO, speedmine or any other form of pre-allocation or any other kind of SAFT between DAGlabs and any other entity. This does not contradict the fact that there were investors who decided to invest in the project. When DAGlabs shut down (*after* mainnet was launched) the remaining budget was used for mining, we mined a little short of 800MKas, half of which was given to the investors and the other half was divided among DAGlabs employees.
If you are so shocked to find out that a. a VC can find an investment into a fairly launched project profitable, and b. developers of fairly launched projects also want food in their fridge and a roof over their head, you probably shouldn't be meddling with finances in the first place.
