I'll try to explain what I suggested above.
To summarize what we have here: there are two facts we need to make note of:
Fact 1. This ICO was not what everyone was stating ("Real honest ICO with no whales and only real investors putting money in"). A big manipulator was in, not sure was it Dev or some unrelated third party. In any case at least the half of the coins were sold to not real investor.
Fact 2. Now DEv has too many coins in his hands. It is at least half of the ICO coins, and if 50% of the whole supply. Even after mining phase it will go down to 29.4% - a huge "pre-mine", allowing a nice dump.
So thats some more reasons why I suggest to burn those coins (dumped 50% of ICO). Apart from other benefits, in my eyes this will 100% ensure the malicious one is not the Dev.
You want them to burn the coins they bought with the money they raised from the ICO? They only raise like 20 BTC from the ICO and now you want them to throw away half of it? Get real man.
Also your "Fact 1" is not at all a fact, it is just what you suspect. So how about you call it what it is. Look at viral, see how people dumped below the ICO price right off the bat? It's pretty normal. People get impatient and realize they need BTC now, or see something where they think they can invest their BTC in for a quick profit and then come right back with more BTC (having made much more than they lost in fees).
If you want the devs to continue development of the coin, they will need funds or incentive to do so. They didn't raise all that much in the ICO, but if they have a lot of the coin itself then they have a lot of incentive to keep working on the coin. If they could set up an address viewable and audit-able to the public for the coins they bought back and use it as a development fund, I think that would be best for all parties involved.
It looks like our opinions are 180 degree opposite in every topic. I don't get your point of view, the same way you don't get mine. I hope you are not actually the one who bought those coins, then dumped them, trying to manipulate. Yes I want them to burn the coins they bought back, because
1. They did not spend any money on those coins. Did not want those coins. These coins are the same if they were not sold at all. Why those coins should not be burned the same way as all other unsold coins? REAL ICO was 50% less, than it seemed, let's just face it.
2. It is dangerous for Dev to have so many coins. What do we tell, when we see "no ICO" normal coin with 30% pre-mine? Don't everybody tell "WTF!!!???" and stay away? Such big premine offers a great dump.
I would be interested on what other community members think. What dev thinks? Why everybody is so silent. All this is too suspicious, I see to many attempts of manipulation everywhere around this coin. Hope it is just visual.
If dev want to keep a part (a reasonable part!!!) of this "premine", that is OK. Just speak up, devs, its not the right time to play dead. Tell your plans to investors.
