Glen has a point here, the premine is currently worth $263'321 (according to cmc).
As now an additional devfee was necessary, me too wonders where or what for the premine has been spent so that you now need new ways of financing the operation.
I am absolutely aware that running a coin network with nodes, website, explorer and adding to exchanges costs some money but as far as my experience tells this should be more than nicely covered by the premine of 1 mio Linx so far.
Our goal for this project from the very start was never to be just another cryptocurrency that lives on exchanges with no other use.
We have bold plans, and the market access to achieve them, but some things cost money - there's just no getting around it. Press, PR, legal, security, advertising, merchandise, event sponsorship, incentives, the list goes on and on. Any project promising to deliver any of these things without some kind of pot to draw from is simply not going to deliver, they couldn't afford to.
Have you seen how much it costs to list a coin on an exchange now that multi-million dollar ICO's have completely changed the financial landscape?
As an example, just to list on Cryptopia right now will cost you over $200,000!
