So.... Excuse me for being cynical but....
Its a 2% premine coin, with a "running tax" on mining being given to a X/Third party under the assumption that if a Exchange gets hacked and your Umbrella funds are 'stolen' you will get reimbursed for your Umbrella funds by the X/Third party...?
So
2% premine
% of all coins mined to "CDIC?"
In case of loss, and if you can prove the loss sufficient to meet scrutiny, CDIC Refunds you?
Uh....
How about I keep my damn coins at home, and not worry about any of this crap? Then again I guess miners need something new all the time...
As mentioned some time ago, we will be bringing the insurance portion back in house. The CDIC will be out of the picture very soon. We feel with a board and a dedicated team, we can accomplish the same thing minus the trust/identity issues. Board members will be vested individuals, so basically anyone will be able to have a voice in the community. I am also considering making voting board members Coinssource verified. I went through this process and received 7/7 stars, I think it adds a lot of value.
As discussed earlier in the thread, the premine was 2% minus .5% for the CDIC. With 1.5% remaining I paid out over 60K in various bounties to help with distribution. There was also a bug in the split reward where I had to use a large portion of the premine to reimburse the insurance fund. I have a few thousand coins left, nothing major. I paid bounties that were very generous which is fine in my book. People who hustle and work hard deserve to be rewarded. If this coin launched without a premine it would have died months ago.
In the case of a loss, protection of our assets would be a top priority. If the loss is genuine and you were on Poloniex, you followed the procedure to tag your claim and all the numbers and dates match then you would be reimbursed. We make a best effort to gather as much information as we possibly can by requesting logs and/or aiding in the investigation, that's just good business.
We have reduced our risk to an acceptable level and we are capping the amount of insurance you can buy during the beta run, full insurance details will be released soon.
Keeping your coins under the mattress may work well for you, I believe this was the preferred method of storing money before insured banks came along...
