Excellent coin with a lot of possibilities, but there has to be a bare minimum of transparency.

The first 900 coins were mined by one address. It was premined.

The Dev used a lot of it promoting the coin. He should account for those btg exactly, in a public way. I don't have a whole lot of bitgem left but I'd donate some toward offsetting the premine, whatever is not accounted for.

I'm fine with either direction. Fix the premine issue as described above, or deep six the coin. Either way.

If the Dev can produce addresses and explanations for half the coins, I'll donate 50 btg to the faucet and maybe others will donate the rest. I've pm'd with the Dev and he is obviously a decent fellow and a lot of people still support this project, but the first 900 coins are a cloud that has to be cleared first.

BTW, the other explorer is working now too http://bitgem.alfter.us:2750/

Btg could easily be driven to a few hundred k marketcap if it were cleaned up. But it will be a temporary pump unless the coin is fully transparent.
