Just out of curiousity.
Let's say the premine is gone, spend or whatever. Does that mean that EarthCoin has vanished into thin air? Or is there still something to fight for?
For as most of the negative comments go regarding the premine, why waste so much energy by typing "the unfairness of them having all that money". I assume that you must have a day task in writing such messages when you are looking at let's say Apple, banks, governments or even crypto exchanges.
Ow, and and seems that I must use the word "fuck" to make my statement.
No. There fucking isn't. Happy?
Well almost. Sorry.
i would really appreciate it if you were to guide me to a coin where you spend most of your time trying to promote or actually develop for. I feel a little left in the dark when you give me no alternatives. And please don't tell me that most of your time goes to promoting

I have a meager stake in dark coin. You should check it out if you're looking for a promising alternative. And as for that link, was that supposed to bean insult? I don't get it.
Hi slyA,
Thanks I will look into that. And regarding the link, it was meant as a joke for the "fuck" part. I should not have done that. I am sorry for that.
None taken. I've been quite vulgar I must say. Apologies if that made you uncomfortable.
Well, this has all been a very interesting read.
To begin, slyA, I get it. EAC's value has fallen dramatically, very scary. And I'm sure that you (along with a few others) are absolutely convinced that the Earthcoin Team disclosing where the premine went would quell your fears. But would it? Everyone wants their hand held when times get tough, to know someone is still there for them. But here's the thing, no matter what happened to the premine, no one is going to be satisfied with the answer. I've been here since day 3, and
every single person who's brought up the premine has gone on a rant like you have, but for different reasons. Everyone is a critic, and they're just waiting for an explanation so that they can criticize the team. Three likely scenarios and naysayer responses:
- They dumped - Everyone abandon ship, they no longer have a vested interest in the coin. Most common argument in the thread. Maybe, but this argument is nullified when you consider that there are coins with NO premine that have active devs. This argument is predicated on the previous behavior of the devs of shady coins, and people love to come in here and state that this one is no different.
- They're still in possession of a large portion of the premine - what are you doing, go promote and give bounties and stuff! That's probably what they're doing if this is the case, but the caution they're exercising would be ignored, and emphasis would be placed on the fact that they're still holding on to it rather than what they're doing with it. Seen this a million times in this thread.
- They've given away most of the premine for bounties and development efforts - Insert criticism on how they wasted it here. All of a sudden, the thread becomes full of rants an criticisms about the devs incompetence, etc.
I've been here from the start, and all of the above arguments have come and gone. The reality is, I can see why the Earthcoin Team chose not to be transparent about the day to day use of the premine, I'd opt to do the EXACT same thing that they've done. The harsh reality is, no one in this thread gives a damn what they're doing when EAC is doing good in the market and they're making money. These rants only happen when the coin loses value or remains stable for extended periods of time, thoughts run wild and people need to rein it in a bit.
Also, one more thing. slyA, I've been here since day 3. I've never seen you before. EAC's value dropped, and you've come out of nowhere to preach about the apocalypse. The only thing that's come out of you in the past couple of pages has been hypocritical, inflammatory, and deflationary. And every time you've finished a tirade, you subtly drop a hint here and there: Darkcoin. Sounds to me like you might be playing the fear monger to poach EAC investors. After all, why even mention Darkcoin? That alone takes the legitimacy out of your argument, not to mention the constant assault on the team and all of its defenders. You don't actually care about the development efforts, I've noted your lack of commentary on the new wallet and the early website release, and most importantly the game plan illustrating the current issues the devs are trying to tackle. I'd dare to wager that you have an agenda here.
