Honestly I still think premine is the nature of the beast today. This isn't 2009 where you can create something unique and have a chance to mine it before MultPools jump on you and cram you difficulty up to 200. As a dev there would be 0 return on your investment and there would be no real reward for people to make a difference, unless they are offering an IPO or something before hand.
That being said, I still think NobleCoin is the best out there. With premine it is nice knowing what money is where and having the satisfaction of knowing there isn't going to be a dump on the market. Noble has a public ledger that shows where every bit of premine is and what its is being spent on. In addition to that, the Dev is constantly involved, online, and providing updates/feedback and keeping the coin moving.
If you haven't, you need to just check them out. Never want to miss out on the next big thing.
Why should coins be made for the devs to make money? That's not the spirit of cryptos, but it is when greedy capitalists want their slice of the pie.
What's so noble about Noblecoin and what does it offer that most other currencies don't?
First off, Im not saying for devs to really make money, just even cover costs. It's not cheap to make a coin, do marketing, host a site, etc.
In regards to Noble, without going into tons of detail, their plans for charity donations and contributing to the community. They have it outlined on
http://www.noblemovement.com/movement/ . Outside of that altcoins to me are more about the future and not always about the now. Noble has an outlined plan for the future including a marketplace, etc. It's just my opinion but I just wanted to get some info out incase others wanted to get involved.
That statement is absolutely true.
I've been around for a little while now and Noble has been the first one to offer public ledger and a real focus on various outputs: charities, merchants and investors.
It's not something that will be over in a week or so, it's for the long haul.
And the-premine is the key to the whole plan
http://www.noblemovement.com/movement/.
It is a win, win, win, win combination (miners, investors, charities, merchants).
So yes, in most cases, pre-mine = pum and dump.
With Noble, it's the absolute opposite.
The coin itself has potential.
