I think it's pretty obvious at this point that earthcoin intends not to provide such information. Whether this is because they really are going to dump at some point and cash out, or because they don't want to spend the time accounting for it, is unclear, but they won't be publishing the accounts.
I would imagine that one good reason to not have 100% transparency of the premine is that the devs are aware of the need for some of the coins to be used as baksheesh/Bribes in order to grease the wheels ect.......
Not very discreet to pay a bribe then publish the details online for everyone to see.
The devs are experienced in this new field as has been pointed out many times already a successful coin is worth more in the long term than a quick pump and cashout.
dont forget Bitcoin had a hefty premine as well that was used to promote the coin in the early days , depending how much is left someone could be still be sitting on tens of millions of dollars worth of BTC and seeing as what the coin has achieved in it short life I for one have no problem with that at all.
Satoshi is sitting on 1.6 million coins worth over $1 billion. He has not sold one which lends to the coins credibility. Imagine yourself having $1 million, $10 million, $100 million dollars and the $1 billion. And you never sold any? Could you do it or would you succumb to the greed? EarthCoin is no different, the devs are not poor and can feed themselves and have a vision for the many not for the few.
As I was saying 2014 will undoubtedly be the year of the crypto, dilution will occur en-masse but when the dust settles towards the end of 2015 and the winners emerge in their respective categories, EarthCoin will be one of them. The hardest time during the birth of a coin is before its first 50% creation of the supply, dilution occurs naturally as the adoptions spreads out. The best thing EarthCoin can hope for is a flat-line currency where the 3x and 5x payouts cause the ebb and flow of supply, rolling hills where bottoms find people with attitudes that envision the future and risk tolerances that allow for longer holding times. AS the currency is meted out to a wider demographic the coin will find its sustainability and become self-supporting. It is only a matter of time. Trading $25,000 USD to $100,000 USD per day is remarkable for a 1 week old coin. Nice job dev team, you're creating a foundation for the wicked storm that is approaching. When they get burned and feel spited, they will see a twinkle on the horizon and it will be the glimmer of hope of EarthCoin, there will still be a chance for them to participate and profit because of your vision for the future.
