Your questions
A) The starting 3 years of mining coins was producing a 10% income for developers. This is bound to stifle innovation and development after the 3 year period. Personally I see crowd funding as the best option. Payment can be made in FIAT or Bitcoin as there are not enough Anoncoin mining to continue the ICO type scenario

Just as a side note, I would suggest developers of zerocoin buy large amounts of ANC in order that when they complete the crowd funding project, they receive a double whammy of finance as their ANC holdings increase and they receive a payout from the crowd funding.
Just to clarify, there was not a premine of 10% or anything on Anoncoin. At launch Meeh mined 1000 block (0.14% of a total of 3100000) before sharing the chain in public, for testing purpose, and he gave them back to the community via donation thread and faucet. I know it has a fact because he gave to me my first 150 ANC this way (100 on forum and 50 in I2P chat).
Premine: 1000 blocks (4200 ANC) that were returned to the community by community donations and a public faucet. Other than that there was absolutely no premine you can check the ANC source code on
github.
