In working on my own project in the past I realized that if I launched a token and announced it, many people would mine it making the value go up very quickly and my inability to mine enough for myself.
What is "enough for myself"? Why should you be more allowed to mine enough for yourself than anyone else? Isn't this actually "pre-allocating any currency to yourself" while pretending it's not?
