3. Coinye Was Pre-Mined Meaning<br />
That The Crypto-Community Hates It<br />
(But People Still May Buy It)<br />
The Coinye Coin subreddit is ridden with posts angry at the<br />
way Coinye has been handled. This means that Coinye coin<br />
MAY be dead in the water. It definitely bodes poorly that the<br />
developer is trying to “give back” at this point.<br />
For a bit of layman’s explanation into what pre-mining is,<br />
imagine that creating a cryptocurrency is like making a<br />
digital gold mine. Basically, if the mining is fair,<br />
information about when, how, and where to mine is freely<br />
distributed and everyone can start mining at the very first<br />
section of the mine, known as the first “block,” essentially a<br />
section for mining. A pre-mined coin means that<br />
information about how and when mining was to happen was<br />
suppressed or deceiving so that once the mining community<br />
is aware of a coin, miners are not starting on the first block,<br />
but rather a much later block, meaning that the coin was<br />
unfairly mined. So, how late was the initial block that the<br />
mining community was given access to Coinye? According to<br />
one thread, VERY LATE:<br />
Recall that there are only to be 133<br />
billion Coinye EVER, so that means<br />
~1% of the total was unfairly<br />
mined, according to this user. This<br />
means that people are pissed off<br />
and will be less inclined to mine the<br />
coin and give it attention and<br />
praise, at least within the cryptocommunity.<br />
Still, it does appear<br />
that this is false or at least<br />
overstated. The maker claims that<br />
only .37% of the coins were<br />
pre-mined.<br />
