How much is acceptable "pre-mining" for an altcoin, if any

[btcgolong]

Seems like many of these new alt coins are heavily pre-mined, what % (if any) do you think is "fair" for a new altcoin?



Of course we have ICO's happening as well...but that is a question for another thread.

If it is premined, it is scam, as simple as that. The more premine - the scammier the project.

up to 100%, more than that and I start getting suspicious!

Exactly this.

True.

Depending :

-for ICO tokens, that is mandatorily 100% and that is normal for me.
-for regular crypto-currencies, 0%, even 0,01% is too big

Yes 100% is OK as long as the distribution is fair.

if that is an ico , 100% pre-mining is no problem

but if the coin is a total new algo   that's can not tolerate any premine

i even remenber  some years ago there is a lot of QT coin  with X11  X12 X13 algo

the first thing when dev  post ann is checking if had pre-mine
