I'm not saying that you should burn part of those coins (in fact that would be the best for community, but as I already said I agree that You should be fairly rewarded). I'm saying that You should reconsider locking 50-80% of those coin for next 2 year. In my opinion it will show your commitment, faith in the future of the project, decrease circulating supply, what will increase listing price and financial motivation for community to become node (faster project grow).
I'm also supporting this idea presented by Tytanowy Janusz.
AndrewIdena please consider and consult this proposal with your team, as the well-being of this project is not without meaning to all of us. I would say that burning or locking 50% of this really big pre-mine, should suffice as a token of being a serious dev. Good image is sometimes more valuable than money and in the long run... who knows
The project roadmap is quite substantial. Idena has had no coin offering. We are considering various options of Idena development funding, so most of the coins are reserved. We believe that the proportion of the premint and mining is healthy compared to most crypto projects.
I hope that you will use your premine in your actual developments and not for your team's gain in the future.
People are hesitant because they have seen countless projects that are promising not to touch their holdings.
But later on, when the price is doing good, they will suddenly dump their coins and be gone.
So having a detailed roadmap is not an assurance that you will stop at some point.
But then good luck to your project and hopefully will last longer as compared to your contemporaries.
