I'm seeing an increasing trend of pre-announced coins coming out. This needs to stop.
The reason being that 90% of these coins end up fizzling out because of skyrocketing day 1 difficulty spikes due to everyone being fully prepared for its launch, then the only ones that end up making money are ASICs or botnets.

An example would be Q2C (QubitCoin) which saw the difficulty skyrocket to 1000 in less than half an hour. Once miners gave up and the difficulty dropped, interest was lost and never returned.
Is it fairer? Yes. Does it work? No. I'd much rather prefer a slower trickle of new people discovering the coin and having the difficulty increase in a more controlled environment.
This would also give incentives to people to be more active in the community.
