First any of us has heard about this. Lack of explanation makes this very confusing.

Oh my.

It pains me to say this, but I do not wish for PMC to be listed as a coin to vote for on Cryptsy. This voting system that exchanges are employing now simply promotes pump and dump coins to the top, and is at best bribery, and at worst pure and unadulterated greed.

Coins should be listed on their merits, not on the deepness of the pockets of the community. I think it's all a big sham, and quite frankly this has effectively ruined the chance of any legitimate coin getting on an exchange. It may very well have effectively killed the chances of any coins getting on Cryptsy without paying to do so.

Paying for votes is wrong.

I agree completely with this. This paying for votes system that is spreading across the exchanges is the worst kind of bribery and extortion, and all it is doing is pulling even more BTC out of the community. Eventually it will be sucked dry and there'll be nothing left.

These massive pump and dumps are sucking the life out of the altcoin market. Just look at Auroracoin. Just another market trap.

PMC is the only altcoin I've held that is even remotely stable.

Where are the devs? I hope cash hasn't become abandonware.

I find it hard to justify twenty orders just for them to consider listing PMC. No chance.

We shouldn't have to pay to get listed on websites like that. Period.

When PMC is listed on the Cryptsy votes page, I would rather we focussed all of our efforts on that. Although I'm starting to think this "buying votes" thing is all a bit of a cash grab. The way exchanges list these coins seems to be almost completely arbitrary.

Not worth it, to be honest. Not for a small retailer that deal in only one line of products.

Coin Halving seems to be the age-old way of reducing supply over time, but I have seen a few slightly different approaches lately which decrease the amount slowly per block, or even based on a curve like with Stability Shares.

I've noticed that more often than not that when a coin halves, provided the level of interest remains the same, the difficulty also halves along with it. As this is the case, then what exactly has the halving achieved? If the reward has halved and so has the difficulty, then you'll still get coins at more or less the same rate.

Is the classic approach of Coin Halving just not suitable for fast moving altcoins? I quite like Foxcoin's block reward structure myself which slowly decreases the amount every block, or Mintcoin's weekly halving, which seemed to help with the coin's popularity.

I'd like to see more coins using curve-based block rewards, however rather than something to emulate how people expect coins are normally mined anyway, instead something to control the instamining that's rife with pump and dump scamcoins.

What would be wrong with low starting block reward, which gradually increases and then tapers off before then decreasing? Some coins do this in a crude way by making the first group of blocks low reward, which I think is quite a good approach, but it could certainly be better done with more advanced block reward adjustment.

So think Stability Shares, but instead of rewarding the earliest miners, start low and slowly ramp up the block rewards to give people time to adopt the currency. Then reward the early miners, and then taper off supply.

Well, we could have community votes/polls on what scamcoin investor group deserves some RevolutionCoins, and then we can look at some distribution methods.

I'm not personally a fan of rewarding people who lose their own BTC, however giving them a small amount would be ok. I wouldn't be happy with large amounts given away. After all they may very well just dump them for BTC.

I was able to lease enough to mine 1k RevolutionCoins, which I feel is nice stake.

All these scam pump and dumps lately, it's just a mess. I want to hold something more stable.

I also think it would be a great idea if the premined coins were offered to those scammed or ripped off by IPOs. A small token gesture to show them that RevolutionCoin isn't like other coins.

I think perhaps the politician ideology of the coin may send some mixed messages, but if that ever comes an issue it could easily be re-branded.

Premine (PMC). Great coin, great community, great development.

Premine (PMC) is one of the only coins that is successfully 100% Premine, and you didn't even have to pay to get any. Now look at the price of it.

Forget these scamcoins and invest in PMC.

Done. 1546.

I think there's more than one, but I bought mine on Mintpal.

Bought a few. Not going to bother touching them for a few weeks. We'll soon see if it's hype or not.

That's a nice reward. The block rewarder keeps the network a little busier at least, and it's not costing me a lot to run, so I'll keep it going.

Those non-rounded amounts of satoshi on the end of the block reward ? Probably my block rewarder. Still ticking away at approx 0.001 per block. 

It varied. You'd need to speak to the dev about that. Around 5k per person, but it varied. There were also some larger payouts for a couple of bounties. It seems like a lot now, but for a coin that had zero market cap, it was essentially worthless when it was given out. As far as I'm concerned, those who got it early deserve it. There were a few greedy people in the bunch trying to get more, but the majority of people who got PMC spent time spreading it out among others.

What were the requirements for receiving PMC?

Declaring an early interest. That is mainly it.

Were 499,000 PMC given to just a handful of people?

Quite a many handfuls, who them themselves gave it to many others.

How much PMC did each developer receive?

0. The dev gave them all away.

Are there any left for regular users?

If you mean of the initial coins? No. They are now in the hands of users, the market, and so on. The coin has become valuable now, so giving it away would be like giving people free BTC. It would defeat the point. There are still promotional giveaways taking place, so you can still get coins for nothing, but the initial phase of the distribution ended some time ago.
