Was FTC premined? No.
Do you still believe in Santa? 
Like any 0-startup-diff coin, it was instamined by early-adopters.so they would accept NVC into their exchange
Sherlock, I don't need to bribe btc-e owner for anything. By the way, I suggested him to add FTC & CNC. So, we made for FTC more than your "cocksuckers" (c) team ever would be able to do. It's humiliating for you, isn't it?
but half of the premined coins
Is there any proof for that? It is easy to guess that you have none. I have published proofs of mined volume (~65500 coins), and also we have a proof of 110k coins destruction. On the other hand, your buddies has nothing except "AAA SCAM 200K PREMINED"... That's pretty mature behavior Especially funny it looks at the background of fact that 200,000 coins at that time simply didn't existed in the network. Yep, pre-mined 200+k coins from 160k, LOL. Oh well, trolls are using the own arithmetics. Thanks for the portion of pleasure, now I'll let you get back to your normal occupation. 
Quick note. You can enable and disable the checkpointing with enforcecheckpoint true and enforcecheckpoint false
That isn't enough, command line option is still required. ::)Because only a few users will run commands in the RPC console.
