To the person who said dev's get far less than they deserve -
For the work and risk they take, absolutely. Also I believe a truly decentralised crypto-currency will really help mankind. FreeTrade has put some ideas in place that move Satoshi's vision in that direction,
I honestly think FreeTrade can look in the mirror at night and be proud of the work he's done and is doing. That doesn't change the problem that now exists, I'm only trying to bring it to your attention because
I believe FreeTrade deserves more than what the situation he's put himself in will end up giving him.
Last attempt - I don't care who got what and why in the pre-mine.
I only care how it was perceived by the market.
Was it 'perceived' as transparent and fair? Because if it wasn't, I know new investors will stay well clear.
The memorycoin swtich over looks like it was done
selectively dilute anyone who wasn't voting, or just voting to share the grants out amongst the winning voters. So the fork rewarded people who were really engaged and trying to make the project work, but still kept balances for everyone.
You also did not disclose your pre-mine stake for ages, you tried to avoid & deflect it.
Unfortunately, my conclusion is, no matter what responses you give now/try to justify it, I'm pretty certain the MemoryCoin2.0 launch is perceived by the market as having an
unfair and un-transparent pre-mine.

If you don't understand how human psychology works, it's hard to help here, but I'll try.
1. Humans would rather lose money than support something where they feel someone has got an unfair/un-transparent share even if they deserve it! (This is why being completely equitable and transparent if there's a pre-mine is so important.)
2. Case in point - You are a human too and you would also rather lose money then take a reduced share, even though the reduced share is FAR more valuable.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-ougCMz7NkYou're now living in the above Game-show.
Investors feels like you've taken A, when you should have taken B and you've been deceptive about it.
You feel like you've taken B when you actually deserved A and now people are trying to ask you to take C.
Unfortunately the result of this game-show is often the same, everybodies share ends up being worth 0.
(To Newmine, you repeatedly say the same argument, you come across quite trollish.)
