The thing that makes UNO so special is the fact that it had zero pre-mine.
3% pre-mine for 'stability' is a joke. It's a cash grab and it damages the integrity of the coin. Why would I chose to mine a coin that has a group of people with a SH!T TON of coins waiting to dump on the market all the way up (if there even is an up)? Pre-mining destroys the coin, it's that simple. Why? Because we can chose coins that weren't pre-mined! They do exist and in this era where we have new coins everyday they seem the logical ones at which to invest our hashrate.
To put it another way.. People don't NEED to chose a pre-mined coin in this era. So why would you? There are (or soon will be) plenty of alternatives that do the exact same thing, but without the dark cloud of pre-mining hanging over them. I'll happily choose one of them.
Panda coin? I'll pass.
HI Mwkultra, I would like to address the points you have raised in your post.
1. Of course you can choose another coin, absolutely no one is stopping you, but unfortunately the vast majority (and it really is 95%+) of the coins which are being released on a daily/weekly/monthly basis not only don't see the light of day, but are also awful clones of existing coins that have very little momentum behind them as far dev, innovation, markets, and expertise.
2. Absolutely people don't NEED a premine coin, infact they don't need any coin, what they WANT however is the opportunity to be involved in a big movement that will have a significant impact in cryptocurrency and be valued on parity with real goods, services and the opportunity to have actual utility for that coin.. which very VERY few coins can offer.
3. Please feel free to explain how our coin is a cash grab when there is 97% available to the general populus for mining.. a 97% IPO, i would understand as a cash grab, but we are talking single digit percentages which are going to be given back to early investors as well as go toward building the foundation of the community across the various services we are offering. Unlike other coins, we do not want to rely solely on the community to take the initiative to move the coin along in their own time, we want to provide a springboard where they can readily use multiple sites and services that make use of the coin.. again, please feel free to show us other coins that are offering this in any decent capacity.
4. UNO is a very special coin, that is true, and I love it because of the rarity, but these coins can hardly be compared just on the fact alone that there is a much larger supply than UNO. And personally speaking, even if UNO did have a small % premine, I for one would not be put off the coin. I think the idea that a 'coin' like bit bar with over 3000 premines (from what ive heard) ... now that is a cash grab and is definitely something I would distance myself from, whatever the reasons the developers or so called 'early miners' had.
5. We in no way want our mission and objectives to come across to the crypto community as something which we are looking to earn a fast buck from.. We have made our intentions very clear and are being extremely transparent with anyone who asks any kind of questions and we have no problem having an open and honest discussion
We are very focused on replicating the success that Doge has and taking it that much further and in a faster fashion. We want to build a similar community and we want to make a lot of stuff happen and we hope that you will join us as being part of the increasingly growing community
