Another idea, which worked really well on 2 other coins I'm invested in, split a portion of the premine among a few trusted community members to hold and/or use to promote the coin. I think it does 2 things. It gives those community members more initiative to support and promote the coin. Also gives the community, as a whole, more trust that the dev won't just dump the premine as soon as the coin hits a market. Of course the addresses of the premine should be public and any use of the premine should be made public! Transparency and Trus are great things now a days among all the pump and dump coins!
Have a Good Day
We really like the idea of splitting the premine among a few trusted community members. The only problem with that is to find these trusted community members.
But we are looking into it!!
Your other idea is also a great one but kinda hard to execute. You first have to earn the trust of the community so that they spent "real" money on coins.

The RescueCoin TeamI understand. If you wanted to do this make the minimum small so investors have the option to not risk a lot till your reputation is developed. Like spending .01 BTC is a little over 6 bucks not a huge risk to most people, but can add up. I would have no problem doing a .01 BTC investment on this coin now that I am seeing you more active! Also obviously make the donation, even if under the monthly goal, no matter what and make the transaction of course public knowledge.
As for finding trusted community members. Start small, while still a risk, you'll see if they follow through or not. Unless of course you know and trust someone already to give them a larger chunk. I normally avoid mentioning other coins, but considering it's only POS now won't take away from people mining. XxXcoin, completely different coin too, did the premine split and has worked out amazingly well. Started out with the devs and 2 community managers 50k each to the 2 the managers. This later expanded to what it is now the devs and 4 community managers and even more of the premine.. Again it has continued support from not only the managers, the devs, but also the whole community involved. Myself included. The thing that really made this work is of course having great community managers AND how open everyone was with where the premine was spent and making the wallet address known so anyone that wants to could see if any coin was moved. Keeps everyone in check.
Again I like the increased activity on your part and look more forward to the future of this coin!
Have a Good Day
