"Yeap, this coin has 2% pre-mine. Why? Because sometimes it is needed."
I stopped reading here. No, it's never, ever needed. Greed is what drove you to do this, and in turn you ruined your coin before it was even released.
Question:
Will you put hours and hours/ days and nights working on your own coin for nothing? You can say, yes, but if you launch your own coin then you need to mine it too, yes that is correct, but how much coins will you be able to mine, just a few, because sometimes you only have 1 AMD Radeon card.. and you mine a few coins. So you're spending 10,000 hours working hard on your coin, notice that you made a new bitcoin or so, and then you find out, dammit ,infact i was working for only $1 per hour.
I certainly don't have any problems with pre-mined coins, if the coins are used correctly. LOTcoin was also pre-mined and they use it for games,bounties,....
I'll never launch a coin myself when it is not a little pre-mined because then you're just working like crazy for other people pockets, I agree that the owner of the coin don't need to sell his coins when it hit the market, and some owners does that, and let their coin die, but not all owners are like that. There are several pre-mine coins on cryptsy and some of them are even good too...
