How to "crosscheck" info (like premine/ instamine/ max supply etc)

[pixelated]

Presuming that the info supplied by dev(s) does not satisfy anyone, where/ how can one crosscheck all the info about an altcoin?

For a language agnostic (not knowing C++ but understanding the logic) would it be advisable to dig into code somewhere? Or is there a better way to "crosscheck" all the info that the dev(s) might otherwise try to conceal esp before launch?

Sample parameters for such info:
1) Premined
2) Instamined
3) Hashing algo
4) Dilution
5) Max supply
6) Features/ Innovations
7) Halving time
etc

For most regular coins the premine amount/blockreward structure can bee seen through github/src/main.cpp and searching for the word "nsubsidy".

For example:

https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/blob/master/src/main.cpp#L1617

nHeight is the block number and subsidy is the blockreward.

So if you see this:

    if (nHeight == 0) {
        nSubsidy = 60001 * COIN;

That means that there's a 60001 premine at block 1 (0).

@bathrobehero: Thanks. Since you said most, would you like to quote an example of an outlier as well? Also, what about other parameters? Are they also usually in github/src/main.cpp?
