What do you think is a good amount, comparative to the block reward? depending on community interest and how quickly you want the premine stigma to go, i'd say hold half and throw around the rest quickly before people lose interest.

Post by: smeagol on August 14, 2013, 12:13:51 AM How about you quit misleading the public and put in your OP that there was a pre-mine? I did, after seeing your earlier post. :) 0.5% is based on a figure years from now. Why not put hey we mined enough blocks to cover 11 days of mining? It is only 0.5% after the 57.049086757990867579908675799087 years of the coin go by. How much is it today? 99%! Ok, I'll put in 11 days. Thanks for the calculations though! Title: Re: [ANNOUNCING]Sauron Rings (SAU) | Show your support for Sauron! | PoW | Rare! Post by: smeagol on August 14, 2013, 12:24:28 AM OK thanks for no longer misleading the public, now they can make a more informed opinion on whether this coin is any different than the other coins that keep getting made and compared to others that also have a pre-mine for services. I have said it before and apparently must say it again. IF YOUR COIN IS GREAT ENOUGH THERE IS NO NEED FOR A PREMINE, BECAUSE COINS THAT ARE GREAT, PEOPLE SUPPORT WITHOUT PAYMENT! Are there any coins that actually have not had a premine (recently)? EDIT: Block 35 was reached even though there is a super high difficulty! Woot! Edit 2: Diff fall, start mining now!
