After (some) research, MANY believe the mining incentive can be a nice business to get into.
Instead MANY are being scammed by these hardware manufactures.
Please, discus this topic among yourselves.
Remove the mining reward, it is a scam.  Roll Eyes

Perhaps instead of simply stating the same thing over and over you might provide some evidence for your argument.  Explain why you think the mining reward is a scam.

I dont have all the answers.

Doesn't seem like you even have a question much less an answer.  I'm sorry you don't understand basic precepts of Bitcoin or mining.  Please educate yourself or move onto something you do understand.  Not trying to be mean just trying to get you to take responsibility for your own decisions and to make them wisely.

abolish the mining reward.
pre-mine the rest of them and sell them.
otherwise, the coin is a scam.
i don't care how you solve it.

just do it. do it now.  Roll Eyes
If you abolish the reward for mining coins, how will any more be generated?  Pre-mining doesn't solve anything if you're not generating coins by solving blocks.  Even if it did, your proposed solution is to put every single coin into the hands of a single mining entity who will then sell them?  Yeah, that'll work out really well...

In any case, the generated coins from solving a block are not a scam.  That incentive is to bring new coins into the market and also reward miners for securing the blockchain.  Eventually those coin rewards will be superseded by transaction fees as the network grows and the coin is adopted more broadly.

How do you think Visa/MC/Amex/etc work?  They rely upon transaction fees to support them.

Well, if you don't want folks to fall for this 'bad' investment and sully the coin and possibly ruin their lives and time and frustrations.
Then you agree the mining reward should be abolished. Fix the problem.  Roll Eyes

Then lets get rid of those pesky transaction fees too.  That's stealing.

Nobody should need to actually work for what they receive.  All means of earning should be abolished for the good of mankind.

Edit: on a more serious note, if you abolish the reward you abolish coin generation and abolish the coin altogether.

So what you really want is to abolish Bitcoin.

There are scams in every unregulated industry. If you are scammed, then sue. QED. Don't blame it on Bitcoin. Like any business, some are good at it and make money while some don't. That's just business. Plenty of miners do make profits of they would be turning off their miners.

And yes, mining incentive is a scam, sorry folks.
Big companies have been selling non ROIable hardware preorders for a long time now.

The mining incentive is a scam.
Everyone who supports a coin with a mining incentive is a criminal.
Mining incentive needs to be removed from all coins.

No incentive, no war, probably only exchanges would ever buy hardware.
I will re-post this recommendation, you can be sure of that. In the mean time.

Thank you for your opinion; come again!

Just cuz you missed out on the early mining days doesn't mean you should be calling people criminals.
