The network has started this Saturday, with the source public since then, and only the infrastructure setup being the main bottleneck to announce on here - it is by no means a pre-announcement, as it was never planned to be a released coin.
For example, Litecoin had a few days difference between an announcement on here, and the genesis block.
I understand the fear of scamcoins, and I would agree if it was the case, though there are no pre-mines in the genesis block compared to something like Sumokoin with 10% of the coins and had deliberately with-held the network from the public for almost a month.
Please feel free to ask any other questions you have.

So you mined 4000 blocks without announcing it (you can't call it "public" just because you posted something to your GitHub, no one was looking there except you) but you want to insist this isn't a pre-mine because it wasn't in the genesis block? Why do you think we care whether the coins were pre-mined from the genesis block vs. pre-mined by ninja mining for 3 days?
I'd love for you to convince me this isn't a scamcoin, but how do you expect anyone to believe you when you make such a bad argument? It would almost be better for you to admit you pre-mined 4000 blocks as a pre-mine, but note that if there is 1 block pet minute, then a 3-day pre-mine will be less than 1% within a year.
edit: just saw it's a 2-minute blocktime, so the number would be 2% in a year, but then less than 1% in two years and even smaller after that. This is quite small compared to most pre-mines, and if you commit to use it for bounties and development, this could be quite successful. But when you insist there's no pre-mine, you sound like a scammer.
