If you can't do reach these kinds of easy development goals without a masternode presale, I question the dev team's commitment to the project.
Devs could just as easily sell the premine at market value if and when a market emerges; or, launch a fair 0-premine coin which would generate real interest from miners, mine it themselves, and then fund it at market value-- which would probably be increased due to the increased miner interest.
Otherwise the burden of proof is on the devs to show this isn't a cash grab for 5 BTC.

Nearly all these devs disappear after MN sales.
I would be extremely wary parting with $4700 to a dev who can vanish in an instant.
Newbies beware.
Dear Sir, We can understand your reaction, but we hope that after showing some results - everything will be in its place.
Anyway, Pre-Sale is the long-term investment instrument, it gives Devs possobilities for agressive marketing and soonest exchange listing.
There is no "Money-button" and we all have and understand our risks.
How about showing results first, then asking for money later. Why should ppl fund your aggressive marketing and exchange listing when you don't even have a platform yet. Isn't that akin to placing the buggy before the horse, if you were actually serious, your energy would be focused on cosing up the platform, rather than asking for money to aggressively promote something that doesn't exist.
