There are a few things i feel are working against Mintcoin (and a lot of other alt coins) at the moment :
- Bitcoin has been for some time on a downtrend due to all that stuff happening in China and ofcourse the collapse of Mt Gox, dragging a lot of alt coins on a downward trend with it.
- The total cap on coins is so large with Mintcoin that you have to be realistic and see this as a longterm project and treat it as such.
- The number of altcoins available as of today makes it harder to get attention for this coin (however, Mintcoin staying steady at rank 28 (
http://coinmarketcap.com/) is not that bad
when you think about it).
- All altcoin are basicly still in a startup fase, it will take a few years before the general public will be aware of them and they outgrow the pump and dump schemes.
Two things i'm looking forward too :
- android app for Mintcoin
- the Mintcoin Fund realisation (this one might bring out a nice green rabbit from a hat labeled Mintcoin)
Just my two cents..

edit : about the premine... i dont really care about it, they mention ''1% premine for bounties, giveaways, development, support and maintenance, new feature developments etc'' on the first post.
i understand a large part will go to the forming of the Mintcoin Fund and i really dont need to know all the little details tbh.
