I'm just going to throw this out there and the team can do with the information as it will. Remember that perception is everything.
If you conduct another restart, and initial mining is only done by select individuals, you may as well call it what it would be..... a pre-mine.
Its a public pre-mine not a private pre-mine. Which is a good thing since it is necesary to test the coin. Test net is no longer reliable since all versions of XUN worked fine on testnet, but when launched broke down. This is a chance to reward risk takers and those who support the project.
