Working my way down from the market cap Ripple, Stellar, Bytecoin and Paycoin. Most of these are completely pre-mined with the exception of Bytecoin which had a massive hidden pre-mine. I am not saying these are all bad projects, though in terms of fairness of the initial distribution these are all much worse then DASH. Sorry to point my finger at these other coins, you did ask for this information though.

Yes I agree. Ripple, Stellar, Bytecoin and Paycoin are orders of magnitude worse than DASH when it comers to the fairness of the initial distribution.
It's still not clear why Monero promised an emission curve that closely matched bitcoin, then without notice actually released an emission rate that was almost the exact opposite. Something like 80% pumped out in the first 4 years. People down the line won't be that impressed. But that's off topic. Sorry, everyone.
