Since launch the current rate average is 3.8 blocks a minute, currently getting 1 every 8 something minutes. nice instamine..
That was the difficulty catching up.. Random miners who saw the launch got the early blocks, not the dev team.
There was a several hour window of time where you could hop on without much power or rent some quick and score quite a bit of XCT. It wasn't as instant as it seems. Those blocks definitely flew though.
See the problem with Bitcointalk threads is there is always someone who wants to be a troll. This coin was not an insta-mine there was a very small window of opportunity to get in when the difficulty was low and as expected due to the SHA algo and the abundance of SHA rigs out there - the difficulty shot up fairly quickly.
It is no one's fault here that you - Mote - Missed out on a golden opportunity.
Cheers-
