Then you cannot include Mint and its premine, you either are fair and include any with premine or exclude all premined coins including Mint
To allow one and exclude all others on this principle present a critical flaw for what you are trying to achieve by not being biased.
It also would exclude Noble which is by far the most VAS exclusive coin currently in circulation
I am OK with giving mintcoin an unfair advantage. This is mintcoin's dev who planted the seed of a foundation in my head. Privilege of the first. All long as it is known to everyone... As I said, I really want mintcoin to stand apart in one way or another, as a tribute to where the fund come from.To allow one and exclude all others on this principle present a critical flaw for what you are trying to achieve by not being biased.

Other option: we allow premine but with extra scrutiny regarding the sincerity of the devs. This will take time and could be unsecure but as long as people are ready to do it, I'm fine with it (I noticed that a lot of project fail because of the lack of motivation or human ressources - so diluting ressources to investigate the "cleanliness" of a premined coin might jeopardize the whole project).
I will probably create a process for acceptance. The said process could easily integrate a "premine investigation" part. This would make integration longer, but otherwise should be fine.
On which ground would you exclude Noblecoin? I only know this coin by name.
I just created VAS coinsThis is an empty spreasheet where you can propose coins.
Noble has premine, however that premine is completely transparent, they issue reports on where the money is going and what it's being used for, along with the dev not being an anonymous entity which is rare for alt coins.
I would support your endeavour but only if you altered your premine conditions like you suggest only because I do not believe privilege or bias should be a factor dictating what coin gets selected or not. In fact I encourage you to alter your pre mine conditions just so your cause retains moral integrity because including a premined coin whilst excluding all others just on the grounds of it gave you the idea does not resonate well with the general concept of what you're trying to achieve and will only bite you in the ass later on at some point.
However I think, first of all you should try and gather a group of collective like minded individuals and form a council of sorts in order to discuss objectively and unbiased what rules you will impose for coin selection and then remain as the decision makers for coin selections judging whether coin has met criteria or not. As I think one person deciding the rules for such a project despite it being their project may undermine the end goals of the project, when people start asking why coin x wasn't chosen when coin y was. It's harder to argue against a group decision than a sole decision
