If you have something unique and you demonstrate you are the better developer on your code than any arseholes who try to fork your project, then your premine is not a negative, it is a positive.

Yeah just like Satoshi's premine. Oh wait a minute thats right there's no such thing.

You should do your project out of the love for it.

If you do it for any other reason, people will see through it and you will fail.

You are entitled to your opinion and perhaps it is good for you that you will not invest in any altcoin with a premine, especially one with perpetual debasement which means the premine is forever diminishing.

But please allow me to point out an egregious flaw in your logic. Satoshi was mining when no one else was, so he got 100,000s of coins using only a few PCs to mine with. That is equivalent to a premine.

And developers who are not rich have to consider the opportunity cost of other work they could do, especially when they have serious financial needs, such as for example myself I need some very expensive health care in the near future. Also I don't know about you, but I am sort of tired of living like a cockroach and would like to have a nice life in my retirement (if I live that long).
