Dev, I'm agree with Atari...
But i immagine you haven't got 1000 bitcoins to pump up the value...
You know the whole idea of the "loan coin" is not wrong. (I'm mining it)
What it is wrong is the premine in the project.
Let me explain...
I understand that you want to cover the loans...but immagine just for a second something:
No premine...(or 5% for bounties)
And you open a loan centre where us, the miners, can invest the mined coins to finance the loans.
like btcjam do with bitcoin...
The coin would be allready flying.
And the loan covered anyway.
The situation right now is in a stall because where the hell are you going to sell the premined coins?
People think strait on this to be a scam.
I trust you and I believe on your good purposes but you taked the secure way for you.
And in the end of the day you are creating a coin out of "nothing".
You have said you have bought 1.4 bitcoins of your own premined coin....
This is cilly.
No premine and letting all the community invest their hashing power was the way to go.
If this will be a flop it is only because of the premine.
The whole concept is a winner with no premining.
I'm mining and i'll no stop mining...but i strongly suggest you rectify the sistuation by through the premined coins back to the chain, open the loan coin centre and give the chance to the whole community to be part of the game.
Worst case scenario you make another clone out of the blue....now you know how to do that...and let me tell you that making this coin a community financed source of loan you definelly build a perfect reputation for future projects.
Premined projects like this you can do:
1) if you are scamming
2) if you buy the whole premined coins as today people will no give you the money.
With that said...i'm keeping mining.
Find a solution mate...
