I'm not making a coin.

Just an idea to float out to those who are making them (and please don't without good reason)

10% pre-mine but the pre-mine is locked, blockchain won't allow them to be spent.

Every X blocks, where X is the typical number that would be generated in 3 months, 1/12 of the pre-mined coins are released and can be spent by the devs.

This would prevent a pump and dump as it would take 3 years for all the pre-mined coins to be made available and would incentivize the devs to keep the project on track - if the coin goes down the dumper, then the value of the coins in the pre-mine go down the dumper too before they can be sold.

But for the first 3 years of development it could inject much needed dev funds to the dev team if the coin does well.

Thoughts?

interesting idea, so devs will get premined coin little by little amount until 3 years
if the devs are really want to develop that coin and make them success, i'm sure they will gladly accept this idea
but, scam devs won't, they just want get quick profit by dump their own coin

12 different special addresses at start. Blockchain does not allow address A to be used as an input until Nth block, address B unitl 2Nth block, etc.

Simple ideas are often the best and also the most difficult ones to think of.

that would work, but hardcoded addresses in the source
are easier to understand by the users, and everyone can check
their state from an explorer.

 nLockTime is a bit more exotic, even though
it has been there from the very beginning.

I think dependency on market valuation would provide greater
incentive to work hard.
