Why take a pre-mine at all? If it's such an interesting project to you then just do it for nothing.
So you would happily work at
your job for free then, I take it?
It never ceases to amaze me. People are flocking to crypto to make money, yet they get pissy at the
mere mention that the coin developers, on whose backs they are making profit, should somehow get
compensated for their work.
Go work a couple of months at your job for free and then come back and complain about how devs
should be willing to do this for nothing if it means so much to them.
I put in free hours at my job all the time and I also make very generous donations to the coins I'm involved in so STFU when you don't know what you are talking about. BUT, what development you idiot? He already said he isn't going to develop the coin. I'm all for pre-mines for developers that plan on working. Dan Metcalf deserves every coin he premined for XC.
Dude, while your opinion is respected and welcome.....YOU should be a little more respectful with your words man! MUCH too quick to tell people to STFU and call them idiots, be cool man....this is not necessary bud.
Truth be told, you BOTH are making good points......neither is really right or wrong, but both are certainly valid points!
You brought up Dan Metcalf........I'm glad you did as XC is ALL about respecting other coins and communities. You are right, the man deserves much for his efforts with XC.
You also commented that this person should STFU when they don't know what they are talking about. With all due respect, you should take some of your own advices it seems. Tom did not say he wasn't going to develop the coin, he is saying he will not allow the coin to be dependent on him. He is saying that HE, with the help of the community and as a community member will continue to develop the coin. He is saying he will take an equal part with the community to further develop the coin, he is saying he will not be the hammer of the law and will work with the community to implement features or whatever that is agreed upon by the community as a whole.
I think if you knew a bit more of what you yourself was talking about, you would see your argument as some of us do.......completely pointless and ridiculous. I REALLY mean no offense man, but from what I do know about Tom, albeit not a tremendous amount.......I can come to no conclusion other than he is a stand up and honest person. The man has literally been taking a loss with Firecoin to try and help that community. Do you have any idea how many hours and coins he has given out of his own pockets to entertain giveaways, just to gain more exposure for Firecoin...........he has gained nothing from that man, everything out of the kindness of his heart.
In my opinion, the efforts he has put forth for that community and coin has earned him much trust and respect on this forum! To even bring up bullshit about this ridiculously small pre-mine....makes it very clear, it is you that doesn't know what is going on here!!
Please just keep this respectful and play nice, there are enough threads on this forum that are full of hatred and childish words.
Tom.....I do have a question for you brother. With the work you are doing on Firecoin, and possibly others........do you have the time to stay active with this coin as well? I think no matter what role you want to play in this, you will always be looked at as the "dev" and your continued involvement will still be essential here.
