OK, I needed to check my definitions.  I was calling the Blackcoin initial PoW phase the "pre-mine".  No coins were pre-mined.  At least a thousand of us or more were mining it during the PoW phase and it was announced well in advance.  BC has devs attending conferences worldwide, Coinkite adoption, multiple pairings on Bittrex, active devs and now working smart contracts.  Sorry FUDers.
