The premine was 2.5 million 500,000 was given out as bounties to people like you. That 500,000 is now being staked by all sorts of people, and there seems to be no issue there. There likewise is no issue with a minority portion of the premine being staked when that money goes to support development and other Sigil expenses.
Well, that's why I only included 2 million SGL in the pre mine figures I posted above. There is no issue to whom? You? The community? When it's the top post on your Reddit, it DOES seem to be an issue. When it drives one of your developers away, it DOES seem to be an issue. Is 2 million SGL not enough? 50% of the total supply, and will be 25% of the total supply come the end of 2018? I've never heard of devs staking a pre mine, it's absurd. Is the initial pre mine not enough? Why not just have a bigger pre mine?
Plus, you didn't reply; is 1.1 million Sigil a minority portion of a 2.0 million pre mine? It seems to me, that 1.1 million is more then 50% of the pre mine, which would make it a majority portion. Correct me if I'm wrong?
You can shove this under the rug, and it'll just keep stinking. Be upfront, announce in the ANN your plans to stake, announce the exact figures in which you're staking, and show the addresses. At least then, people know what's going on and can make a decision for themselves.
