Really?  Who was it then?  I thought the rings were only given to dwarves, men, and elves. (plus the dark lord)

At least make a reasonable name for the coin and don't state that pools will come if you do them. That is just so wrong... :-\

People are more and more greedy these days, most coins launched are all garbage, and people just hope to get listed in cryptsy and then dump. I hope cryptsy do keep the minimal moral and don't list the premined coins.

Any chance you are going to address the pre-mine?

I will give them out, but I don't know what else.  Any suggestions?
(Or I could update with superblocks to balance out the premine)

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.   :)

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.

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!

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!

Probably not if you are trying to be fair, but we like to pillage coins at launch.. Clearly not the case with this coin (still under block 100)

I think it will be difficult keeping people interested, unless you do some crazy stuff.
