I understand the coin specs make it difficult to have a premine that looks reasonable. The coin was originally going to have no premine but the reality of the situation is that I've already recieved a full page of PM's of users offering services for bounties, something thats just not possible without a premine.

Like I said we are happy to look at the premine and adjust it but we certainly will not be threatend or bullied so I suggest you guys calm down and talk to me rationally. We can indeed go the charity foundation route but I still feel we would need a premine of 20-30k for initial promotion (maybe then taking 0.1% of each block).

It doesn't matter if you need it for bounties or for blow the thing is we don't trust you with it or any other anon dev and for very good reasons. If you believe in your coin you should invest in it by paying for the bounties (0.0x BTC). Besides, you can take more from every block people still choose that over any amount of premine. Go 1% of every block, nobody will really care as you won't have the ability to crush the market and slap investors in the face. On the other hand if you're really making something great you'll get a nice payment along the way.

If you don't trust your own coin as much to invest a bit then you're just wasting everybody's time, including yours.

Yup. 100% agree.Surely a good dev requires good remuneration then take it from the blocks mined,but initial capital expenditure should be done from the dev's own pocket not from the miners just like a business.
