I don't get the gold gimmick, just use btc. If this were to work this is the only way I see it working. Sell the premine as an ipo, not to your "friends". Btw ipo is an initial PUBLIC offering. How could you prove you just won't create a few addresses for yourself and claim they are your "friends"? Use a reputable escrow for the ipo. Send the btc to the escrow and have him put up a buy wall at your "bottom" price. 10% for yourself is ridiculous. You would do well at even much less than that. Pay some % to the escrow. Lol @ "fund your coin". How much does it cost to copy and paste???
Thank you for your thoughts, now here is mine:
"just use BTC". I am in for cryptos, but Gold has a steady value, it will grow over time, it's 100% sure. BTC can fluctuate, it even can loose it's value at some point.
You are right, the IPO was the wrong word for it. It was a startup fund and as lately there were a lot of scams, people did not trust anyone they don't know, so thats why my real life friends gave me money and no stranger did.
Yeah, reputable escrow. Well, thanks but no thanks, Mt Gox was a reputable exchange, I do not give my hard earn money to a third party, for me, I am the most reputable person in the World. I am honest and trustworthy and despite all the negative sentiment from some people I will make this coin a great success!
When most of the altcoins launched, there wasn't any answer to the question where would the dev get the money to make this coin a successful one? Will it be a secret premine or a armada of mining rigs would mine that coin for him and then he would sell that...? I have a straight answer for that, it's clearly stated in the first post. You got a problem with that. Hmm. Strange. By the way 10% is the basic commercial commission. I will get that from the premine. No hidden agenda here. That will urge me to improve this coin, taking it further and further, implement new features and dealing with it day by day. If you think I do not deserve that, well, you can't see it right now, but I think for a hard work, man can get a fine salary. Time will tell.
I do not know how much a copy paste cost, are you working in that industry?? Or intend to get a job there?
