I don't get this. A instamine is not a premine. The devs did not preemptively take a large number of coins out of circulation. I wonder if money changed hands here to get us listed as such. Shame on coinmarketcap, shame on the Monero shills/devs.
I have to say I did not tell them it was a premine. I told them it was an instamine (and even that was only extra supporting information such as quotes from Evan after someone else had already posted about the instamine itself). You can find my post on their thread (it was linked here). That's the only communication I've had with them at all. Personally I think they should change the tag to "significantly premined or instamined" (and I said that too on their thread) but that is just my opinion. What they do is up to them.
You quoted threads posted by people that obviously had a beef with Darkcoin, your Darkcoin hate thread included.
My so-called 'hate' thread did not claim it was a premine, only an instamine.
I don't agree that a few percent of the coins mined by someone who optimized the miner is "significantly" instamined or premined. If we restrict it to the period before the obviously deliberate de-optimization was remove then it is probably 1% or less. You can define it that way if you want, but I don't think claiming that to be "significantly premine" or instamine is remotely credible.
The DASH 35% instamine (bad difficulty adjustment, extra coins, subsequently lowered rewards) is your baggage. Don't try to make it about Monero.
