I dont know why people are jealous of the premined coins..
But here is my 2 cents on the topic.
First a good alt coin (well for me) - A coin that would do huge advertisements 3 months or so before the release.
- no premine.
- Already on major xchange before its start (Btce, mtgox, ect..)
- block reward from 1 to 50 for the like say first years (first 6 months) then start to decrease.
- see peoples very active to make the coin enter the $$ market like BTC and LTC.
- usable to buy goods (major market computer,electronics)
I dont think we need more coins.. I think we need more quality coins!
Yes I agree except the exchange part, I find that kills a great deal of coins. You could say its a testing ground. The quality coin needs a hedge against dumping and that is difficult when there are no services to use with the coin. I think exchanges should be after the fact. I know exchanges are in part the mechanism that allows others to know its worth but I see it as a killer of alts.
Great for pre-miners but only becuase there are guys out there who think it will be a good coin. When ppl stop buying the coin it dies. basically only speculators buy it and not anyone who needs it to trade for goods. That cant be good.
