I think the whole premine idea is flawed and open to abuse. There was some bitcoin google talk discussion mentioned the idea of multi keyed escrow

for these kind of bounties so that one guy cant just say something nice and skip town.
cryptocurrency is about decentralisation but when you have these launches or big websites as we saw recently, its a massive flaw in the idea as too much power lies with too few. Im reminded of the story behind lotr and how the rings were made for good, but I digress

Also I liked the recent ruby launch which forced the first blocks to be lower value until the network was actually steady, instead of the usual spam attacks as people fight to swamp the nodes with their solved blocks.
Some model related to transaction fees would be preferable to premine I think, this way the bounty for whatever accumulates with usage
