I'm just saying that if he destroys an equal proportion it's an epic win in terms of "fairness perception". No claim can come, ever, from stuff like "ohhh you little greedy dev, wanted more coins, etc". I've seen fud vectors with DRK so he could leverage that knowledge to his advantage and avoid anything that can be used against him.
Besides, the dev of coins which are evolving always has an unfair advantage over everyone else.
The second most prized quality in finance is knowing the future. The first is CONTROLLING the future.
A dev controls a coins future regarding its development and as such can make money out of it. He knows when he will make an announcement that will make the price spike so he can buy before and sell after the announcement, making gains. He doesn't even need 0.00001% premine. Anyone thinking like that apparently doesn't have a clue. Shitcoins need premine more than developing coins.
If the dev thinks of it, he can then destroy the premine to equal proportion and avoid criticism. Although now that I've wrote about how devs have an unfair advantage anyway, less will appreciate the move. Seems ironic, doesn't it?
Most crap coins dev are in it to sell their premine for a few K... I don't think XC dev is here for the few K, but the MILLIONS.... so, he can keep his premine. Cause, I will make way more than he will from his premine. It's his hard work that allows us to ride this wave. Why should he destroy his premine? Will everyone destroy part of their coins?!?! Doesn't make sense.
Let's just say... I think my retirement will be really really great. I was mining on launch... ALL IN from the beginning.
