9.52% premined though :/, Bitcoin had no premine.. Please change it, it's not bitcoin 3.0 if it has premined 
We understand your concern. we are not the only coin that has premine and certainly not the first either. As stated in the OP premine is there for promos, giveaways, airdrops, contests, marketing and to keep the lights on.
I can assure you the people that will be receiving the free airdrops a few days after the launch won't be complaining about the premines.
Premines are there mostly for the people not just the devs.
Post your BTC3 address on launch day to also receive some btc3 to get you started if you decide to come on board.
Have a great day :-)
Thank you
Hi, i understand and respect your decision, it is your project after all anyway.
To me personally giving free coins is a way of killing the coin's value. There is a reason for example bitcoin that it costs so much, it is not about only speculation but also mining cost.
And doing premined does the same, in my personal opinion it is way too many coins just the reasons you've mentioned, it will decrease the coin's value.
No F.U.D intented, only sharing my thoughts and hoping you'd change your mind to save your project.
I wont mine it personally because of this, and i know a lot of active miners who thinks the same way, which is to us the most logical one.
You have to think about the coin's mining cost
