we've been over this ad nauseum.
this guy compiled it before launch. others could have done the same or wait for the release you quoted.

Yes I agree (some) people could have compiled it themselves. That does leave out a lot of users though, within those first critical few hours.

Although...even this guy likely compiled it for the first time after launch. Linux users too for that matter. Evan didn't release the new source code until one minute before launch. I'm not sure whether it is possible to compile it on any reasonable (mainstream) computer within one minute. And with 500K+ coins mined in the first hour, minutes count...

like i said the launch was not pretty and had issues. the issues were probably just as bad as the hyper inflationary monero cripplemine launch issues and multi-thread monero ninja launch by a scam dev that y'all had to kick out. Kiss

There was no hyperinflation certainly. The rate of coin distribution was right on schedule within a few minutes.
