OK Im interested in this coin. Lets see how it does and Ill throw some hash at your Nug.
Honest question, assuming you aren't a sockpuppet of OP or something: What sounds interesting about this at all? Half of what he described is magic and the other half of what he described is "I get 11% of all coins".

I think OP is sincere, here. I also think that he just doesn't understand how things work he in crypto-coin land, where every dev is expected to be amazingly selfless and code just for the reward of releasing something useful to the community. I mean, Satoshi didn't have to pre-mine, there wasn't a mob of extremely efficient hash power all ready to rape any new coins and force the little guy out. That's how Satoshi got a lot of Bitcoins, and that's how he made money. A developer today can't expect to get very much of his own currency anymore, so even if it goes to the moon, the dev makes almost nothing.

I think he means well, in the same sense the kid I knew in gradeschool meant well who had this big idea for an MMORPG that totally wasn't just a World of Warcraft clone and was better in every possible way but needed help programming it and was adamant he got a cut and that I didn't steal his idea so he couldn't explain it to me. That's the idea here too. It's a mixture of secrecy and looking for a cut on an idea that is so less than feasible.
