Is this the link you were looking for? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1466593.msg14812610#msg14812610
Also Dan has a very interesting blog post on how to launch a cryptocurrency legally https://bytemaster.github.io/article/2016/03/27/How-to-Launch-a-Crypto-Currency-Legally-while-Raising-Funds/ which is probably related to the steem lauch.
Thanks truthtaco, that did look like thread, but I don't see any of Dan's comments on there
