Just how does someone get 10% of the mined coins in a week (that were declared), when the average Joe was scrapping around for a few coins a day?

I've already answered that, but since you're digging through my post history you'll find it there too.

I've been a serious miner of many coins for years (on and off a least).

It certainly wasn't by misleading people about launch times and then instamining, like Evan. Does he regret it?

As for the "shitcoin central" quote where I was replying to tacotime, you have that exactly wrong, as usual. I was the one considering a new fork with a relaunch (for various reasons including the one minute block time), tacotime was against it. I agreed to wait two weeks and see whether another fork still made sense.

I don't know what to tell you smooth.  Yes, the situation is not ideal, but tonight we're at 315k on the network.

The miners are speaking.  There will be no merged mining of this chain.  We can deal with the adjusting subsidy at a later time via hardfork if necessary.  For now, the distribution is properly specified and everyone can make their choice appropriately.  One minute blocks yield high orphan rates, but we can later integrate GHOST if problems surrounding centralization arise.  It's not the end of the world.

Obviously in the end there was no fork by us. There was no need because no major problems arose.
