For those trying to complain about a pre-mine... 0.5% of total is NOT a lot of pre-mine. Also, not only does pre-mine allow for give-a-ways, it also helps prevent a lot of the problems at launch, ensuring that any bugs that may show are removed before everyone starts throwing a bunch of time at the coin. So all in all, it helps everyone. I also think that being completely transparent with what happens with the pre-mine money by posting all transactions of the pre-mine should help ease a lot of the concerns. If the items aren't posted, then sure, complain. But I fully believe that this is the correct way to go.

This makes no sense.

1. Testing: you can premine to your hearts content to test your coin... then delete the blocks and reset the blockchain and reset the coin.

2. Bounties: pools already make a sweet 0.5-3%, they really don't need more incentive -- DOGE killed all other alts in recent history with community sponsored bounties, not premine bounties.

3. Transparency: the creators created new user accounts and we don't know them from a turd in a cow field -- they can get away with murder time and time again using new accounts with nobody the wiser: THAT's why nobody wants to sit around waiting to see if they can trust a totally anonymous user because complaining will do nothing after the fact.
