Agree,  to outsiders this gives a very bad taste, i was annoyed with it in bitcoin already. The thing is, theres no valid reason im aware of to distribute 10, 20, 30, 40 or even more % of a coin within the first weeks, months or even years while theres no or barely an economy where such a distribution is needed. Its not benifiting the crypto currency image and as beeing sayd it does not benifit a coins image. Wish i could write different, but thats how i see it. Its not a darkcoin issue alone, bitcoin did it already.
