I wouldn't be holding your coin since 2016, if i didn't see value in it, but 20% is too much. If am wrong about your financial gains from boolberry, then i apologize but i still think that 20% is excess.
I would agree with you 5 years ago (when I was just 1 year expirience in blockchain development).
Now, after I've seen all this interesting and finally dead projects, after I personally spend years for building technology I strongly disagree.
Anyway, I respect your position, just wanted to ask, can you please give an example of the successful alive project which did develop their code themselves and doesn't have premine.
Wondering, how they got listed during past 2 years on any of the top 30 exchanges where listing fees are 100k$+
I don't mean old times when Boolberry got listed on Poloneix for free without even my request, I talk about present time.
(Please don't put as example Bitcoin)
Monero obviously. Yes they started with cryptonote but they have diverged significantly, adding lmdb, ringct, bulletproof, etc.
A more recent example with truly ground up development would be Grin.
Also Bitcoin
Anyway, I think Grin is the example that meets your criteria the best.
Monero is the wrong example because:
* we don't know if they would launch it with Premine of not, because the didn't launch it. It was not their decision.
* they benefited from other's people work. Let's say they were given new technology(or taken) and then got a lot of attention and support because the tech was good. Now imagine that Monero team were doing research and implementation years before the launch - and answer to yourself - if they would launch it with no reward?
Grin is a good example, agree. We following this project and wish success to it. I'm not sure about how development organized there, but we have full-time employees and have to be sure then we can pay salaries every month, just hard to do it on donations. Know it from my own experience.
Interesting huh!!!!
