I didt say it solved anything, i just said, what the difference to other crypro projects is... I contributed to boinc projects long time before gridcoin existed but i do like the project, the share of workunits contributed by the gridcoin community far from negligible. I mined a few coins by contributing to boinc without paying anything but the electricity i had to pay if it was not from my solar panels... I later bought a few coins to support miners and thats it. The price is relatively stable over the years, so i dont see any rising profit for the founders, and if it was so, it happened a few years ago. The problem you describe, that early adopters (or early owners) profit when demand is growing or supply is low is immanent in most sytems, not only crypto. Good example is stock companies, but its usually the same in ervery capitalistic subsystem.
