as explained elsewhere: no, not a premine. and none of this is defending or not defending zcash by the way, it's defending truth and accuracy in language. a PREMINE is when you MINE in secret/private before a launch to secure some supply for insiders. a DEV TAX is when a portion of block rewards after launch is diverted to insiders. the end result may be the same (insiders get part of the supply), but the mechanism IS NOT the same! therefore, it's sloppy and innacurate to call them by the same name, which is what Juraj has been pointing out to you savages all along! consider: one could even have a premine (portion mined in private before launch) along a dev tax (after launch, a portion of block rewards to insiders). if you distort the language and call those two things the same, how could you speak about the case where they both happen? think how normies routinely conflate price increases with "inflation". inflation is the.. well, inflation of the money supply. *that* causes prices to rise. if you think sloppily about it, as most normies do, you never understand the cause, and you fall for things like " inflation is lower now" (no it isn't, the supply is permanently inflated, it's the rate of inflation, not inflation itself, that was allegedly lowered). see where sloppily using language gets you? if the definitions are corrupt, you can't reason properly. so use language properly. call this what is. a dev tax, not a premine.
