Or alternatively, the developers designed this hard-to-find typo/bug years ago and have now just quietly cashed out.

  Seems very unlikely since it would inevitably cause many to lose faith in the currency. If they really want to cash out, they can just do what almost every other upstart cryptocurrency founder does and make it clear they're taking some of the pie.

    If they just want out, the things that happen to the currency don't matter to them - they're already gone.

      That's true, but if this was the epic exit scam they were planning for so many years, it's a bit disappointing.

        410 BTC is half a million dollars.

          True, but many of these currency founders are looking for millions. Not saying it's impossible this is a scam, but I still doubt it.

    You're assuming the one who introduced the bug was a founder with the ability to do that.
    • meowface 10y ago
      That's the assumption the parent poster made, not me.
      • hueving 10y ago
        Uh, no it's not. You're the one that mentioned founders. The parent poster just mentioned developers.
        • meowface 10y ago
          He said "the developers" and "years ago", implying the founders.

  Making a currency is already a gold mine. Mine the first 100k coins and hide them for 5 years.
