What does "numerous strategies" mean, and what benefits do they have over a single big bump?
I guess it means that the dev will place an order an 0.XX and then will buy his own order back
I see that premined coins are in favor now, AUR with 50% premine goes up in difficulty & price, this one 100% premine had a 37 BTC market. Crazy
Other than the 6,000 coins the dev has allocated for himself, he cannot have more coins obtained at a rate lower than 0.001BTC, as this would show as a discrepancy between the BTC in the pot and the number of WOLF sold so far.
This means that for any amount over 6000 WOLF, the dev would only lose money by selling at less than 0.001 BTC per WOLF.
Therefore this coin should not be considered to have a premine of more than ~1%, assuming the bump happens honestly.
The dev could put his own order in just before he knows it will be filled. I'm not sure how the risk of this could be mitigated, or even if this could be detected after it was done, although I think it would be suspicious if a new large sell order was put up at a high price and filled almost immediately. It seems it will require trust, although maybe poloniex could tell us if the dev was filling his own orders from the pot.
