1000 blocks is less than a day's worth. have to make sure everything works before it's announced, right?
i turned off the masternode i had running.
besides, i'm planning on giving away the majority of the pre-mine and it's only 0.11% of the total.
1000 blocks is a ton considering that anyone else will have to compete against other miners to get their blocks. That's why you test on a testnet.
Too little too late, I'm sure it will be turned back on soon. There is nothing stopping you and you already have enough coin to make several.
A far more effective way of "giving away" the premine would have been to let miners fairly mine it. Using it to pay for exchange listings or bounties isn't giving it away, it's stealing it from everyone else who might mine this coin. Trying to play it off as if it's no big deal just makes it worse.
