grin started a couple years ago same as bitcoin, the day of the v1.0 release the devs hardcoded the latest bitcoin block hash in the genesis block (to prove there was no premine) and as soon as they pushed the commit people were able to build the code and start mining

people dont consider instamines any less unfair than premines

there is zero consensus on fair and therefore it is impossible to have a fair launch

all outcomes result in consolidation unless inflation/dilution is extremely high and uninteresting

Grin wasnt instamined or premined. One new coin per second is mined forever starting day one. So it is pretty interesting and very high inflation and widely considered to be the most fair distribution to date.
