Dont really like IPO n premine coin. Many scams . dev just cr8 coin , collect some btc , then move on to another coin.
I actually prefer premined coins...
BTC currently creates 3600 new BTC a day.... 6 blocks per hour x 24 hours x 25 coins...
At the current rate that is 450 USD x 3600 or 1.62 MILLION USD a day needs to be injected just to maintain the price...
A 100 percent premined coin needs exactly ZERO injected each day just to maintain it's price...
Also I think the distribution of mined coins is unfair as well... I can't buy a Peta Hertz mining machine...
Rather just have a POS coin...
Distribution is always an issue with premined coins.... it never ever seems 'fair'.
PMC was given out first come first serve, BCC will be 'airdropped' to BTC talk members..., AUR is being dropped onto citizens of Iceland...
Charity coins are usually IPO'd, or in the case of H2O being spread around slowly... Ripple has distribution and centralization issues...
XBC was IPO and that seems scammy BUT unlike PMC ( given freely ) XBC early adopters are financially invested... less likely to dump, more likely to have a long term interest....
I have high hopes for PMC. This is similar but different.
I think the days of over heated GPU's, ASICS, and POW mining will NOT be the future of crypto... it will be a Proof of Stake coin with some sort of fair-ish distribution method. Blackcoin is amazing.... and multipooling for such coins is brilliant. ( It actually transfers wealth out of LTC/BTC int your multipooled coin... ) and the other coin is DarkCoin... ( some folks may actually 'need' a anonymous transfer method... )
What we are witnessing is something called darwinian evolution.... in crypto....
Hype:Distribution:Adoption:Features:Security
A coin will have to have high marks in all these categories.
XBC is a Bitcoin Clone with a different 'Distribution' gene.... and may get some 'Features' genes genetically modified in...
