If they really wanted to do it, here's how they would have done it:


1.  Premine Uro and make it PoS or very low PoW block reward
2.  Put all premined coins for sale @ ~ urea market rate
3.  Put all proceeds into buy orders @ ~ urea market rate
4.  If any companies want to use it for trade, it's always liquid


        OR, to avoid the devs selling all that premine and holding the money -


1.  Uro arranges the first trade between two companies
2.  Company A puts $100,000 into escrow to be used for Urocoin buy orders @ ~ urea market rate
3.  Uro transfers the corresponding amount of premined Urocoins to Company B
4.  Company B delivers the urea to Company A
5.  Company B has a stack of Urocoins they can spend directly or sell into those buy orders
6.  It's actually backed by that $100,000 buywall and the fact that no more coins are created without more cash
7.  The only reason to invest would be if you think the price of urea is going up


 
Do you notice the difference between that and what actually happened?  There would be no need for speculation, pump-n-dump, bitcointalk hype, or conferences with anybody except buyers and sellers of urea.

If you're not going to fix the price, then you might as well just use Bitcoin.  All they did was create another imitation of Bitcoin, that works exactly like Bitcoin, that can't do anything extra that Bitcoin doesn't already do.

You can also put in the tekcoin.conf file
splitthreshold=12000 or whatever value you want
It will not help with combining though.
it will keep blocks from splitting unless over that amount
Unlike some mini-block stakers , I go for very large blocks

When you combine, say you want 200 coins in a block
select approx. 400 coins that have recently staked.
Put your own address in the send line and also, in the
the custom change line. Type 200 coins in send,
the balance goes to same custon change lineIt makes the
combines go twice as fast.

(If you don't see coin control to select the blocks and custom change
  options, go to setings-options-display and check the box)

The reason I'm pessimistic about Cryptsy itself is that signs point toward some 'stuck' coins there.

a decent percentage of those must be abandoned. I mean, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised if someone died with 10,000 UNO on Cryptsy

INSTRUCTIONS AND RULES FOR BURNING YOUR ALTCOINS IN EXCHANGE FOR BARR


Step #1:  Before sending your coins to the burn address, make sure you're burning one of the coins accepted during the current burn period.  

Step #2:  Before you burn your coins, message us at Bitcointalk and tell us which coin you're burning, how many coins, and your NXT address.   (If your NXT account has never received a transaction before, also include your Public Key)  

Step #3:  After you have burned your altcoins, message us again with a copy of your previous message, and add the transaction ID of your send to the burn address.  

This allows us to verify on the blockchain that you have actually sent that amount of coins to the burn address.  
Telling us before you do it will prevent anyone else from watching transactions and claiming that your burned coins came from them.  
There is no way to prove who sent an unclaimed transaction, and any disputed or unclaimed burn transactions may not be redeemed if we cannot determine who burned the coins.  So message us and claim your coins before you send them.
If you split your coins into multiple smaller transaction IDs, we will wait until all transactions arrive at the burn address and verify that they add up to the total amount you had requested.

————————————————————————

Anyone attempting to pass a fake transaction ID or previously used transaction ID will have their bitcointalk account and NXT account permanently banned from participating in all future BARR altcoin redemptions.
 
————————————————————————

The initial burn period may require a minimum exchange of 50 BARR per transaction, to reduce spam and because each transfer costs us 1 NXT.  That means you must burn a minimum of 100 FRAC, 100 KEY, or 66 XAI.

Newbie Bitcointalk accounts may be held to a minimum of 500 BARR, to prevent spam from sockpuppet accounts.

The minimum may be reduced for future burn periods according to the difficulty, or it may be waived on an individual basis if spam is not a significant problem.

————————————————————————
 

We will strictly enforce the cutoff of the burn period at one minute before Midnight, 11:59PM or 23:59 UTC/Greenwich Mean Time on the final day of the burn period.  (That's 7:59PM in New York during the summer, and 6:59PM in New York if it's winter.)

If you have not sent us the txid showing your send to the burn address by 23:59 UTC, you will not receive BARR.  

We will attempt to maintain buywalls on exchanges through the end of the burn period, and any coins sold to us after 23:59 UTC will be burned for BARR and that BARR will be re-burned by sending it back to the burn fund.  

If our buywalls are depleted before midnight on the final day of the burn period, and you are able to buy a million billion coins for 1 satoshi, we will honor them at the set rate of BARR if you send them by 23:59 UTC – but one minute later and you will get nothing.

 So please stop buying the altcoins well in advance of midnight, and do not burn any coins after 11:59PM unless you consider it a donation.  Because we’re serious about the cutoff.

Step #3:  After you have burned your altcoins, message us again with a copy of your previous message, and add the transaction ID of your send to the burn address.

This allows us to verify on the blockchain that you have actually sent that amount of coins to the burn address.
Telling us before you do it will prevent anyone else from watching transactions and claiming that your burned coins came from them.
There is no way to prove who sent an unclaimed transaction, and any disputed or unclaimed burn transactions may not be redeemed if we cannot determine who burned the coins.  So message us and claim your coins before you send them.
If you split your coins into multiple smaller transaction IDs, we will wait until all transactions arrive at the burn address and verify that they add up to the total amount you had requested.
