The "other" premine wasn't really a premine at all. The chain was soft-launched between a few people, and spread quietly for a few days (~6) before being announced here and elsewhere just before/around the block 8000 fork.
WHAT? This coin was announced here 20 days before launch.
Ok, re-announced here, I guess. :-)
Are you a troll? Everyone can just read beginning of this thread to understand that what you are saying is a complete nonsense.
As I said, those coins (aside from the three 150k blocks) weren't really a pre-mine at all. The game was public for those 8k blocks, it just wasn't until that time that it was really being promoted, reddit activity, etc. That is all I mean.
This is just what you would expect, information spreads over time. But you were saying like if it was announced only 6 days after launch.
EDIT: I had dozens of connections in those early days, so it wasn't "a few people".
