6 of the Largest Cryptocurrency Premines in History
« on: March 26, 2017, 08:56:37 PM »
There have been several dozen premined cryptocurrencies throughout the past few years. Not all of these projects amounted to much, although some of them successfully gained some traction in one way or another. Below are six currencies with significant premines, although not all of them used this concept for nefarious purposes...

I'm sure that the crypto-currencies that are born today, take into account all the failures of their competitors, so should pay attention.

6. GULDEN
It has to be said, the Gulden project had a 10% premine reserved for development, marketing, and other miscelaneous expenses. With a premine of 10% – 170 million coins out of a total 1.68 billion – there is some reason for concern. Despite the premine, however, Gulden – ticker NLG – has managed to gain some traction in the real world, although its success is limited to The Netherlands. Gulden is still under active development to this very day, according to their bitcointalk thread. Gulden has a US$8.655m market cap with 342,46 million NLG in circulation
5. FUELCOIN
FuelCoin is a fully premined coin for redistribution. The bitcointalk thread mentions how the 50 million coins were held by a trusted third-party for a fair distribution. 10 million of those coins were used for charity donations, the remaining 40 million coins were to be used for marketing efforts. Fuelcoin also maintains a 2% annual inflation through its proof-of-stake system. It appears Fuelcoin is no longer actively developed, even though the currency still has a US$272,000 market cap with over 100 million coins in circulation.
4. STARTCOIN
Startcoin is the second project to be linked to Max Keiser, who is quite a popular figure among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Unfortunately, Startcoin also came with a 50% premine, which immediately raised a red flag. Despite developing the StartJOIN platform – which uses StartCoin – the currency never amounted to much. It is anything but surprising to see Startcoin’s market cap drop to US$164,488 with over 45 million START in circulation.
3. AURORACOIN
When Auroracoin was first introduced, a lot of people seemed to be on board with the idea. The cryptocurrency is designed to serve as a new currency for anyone living in Iceland. Its 50% premine was distributed through an airdrop in 2014, which put AUR into the hands of every Iceland resident. Even though most recipients decided to sell their Auroroacoin right away, the currency still holds some value today. Its market cap sits at US$1.244 million, with 8,658,439 AUR in circulation.
2. CURECOIN
Curecoin is a very different project from the rest, as it is an effective reward for protein-folding. This process is used to aid scientists in researching cures for diseases and other illnesses. A total of 28,692,524.32 coins will be in circulation, of which 23,226,284.65 were premined. These coins are distributed to all participants, regardless of the mining hardware used. Close to 95% of all coins are issued to folders, whereas the rest of the funds are used for project development donations and developers. Curecoin has a market cap of US$1,485,223 with 26,431,310 CURE in circulation.
1. PAYCOIN
Perhaps the biggest scamcoin of all time is Paycoin. It is not surprising to find out Paycoin also had a significant premine, as 12 million coins were kept in control of the developers. Considering there were only 12.5 million XPY to be issued at it speak, it was evident this project would not get very far. Paycoin was involved in many different controversies and eventually turned into a complete scam. Despite this rocky history, the currency still has a US$28,176 market cap with 11,671,263 XPY in circulation, quite surprising to say the least.

is it a top? if it so i think GULDEN should be on the 2 place 'cause it has more potential than AURORACOIN and CURECOIN at all. It "still under active" than other crypto in top

I know that a premine also happens if there is an Initial Coin Offering (ICO) and the coins that are bought in the presale are then mined as part of the genesis block, right? ::)
LuckyToken ICO has already started!

People had been angry at DASH for having a premine, but I don't think it'd be a big deal today. It seems normal nowadays for a large portion of coins to be set aside for founders, developers and marketing.
