@AlexGR, at least one person missed the launch due to Evan Duffield launching earlier than he said he would. That should be considered as someone (in)directly being "ripped off" in my opinion. See:
Time to go to bed and try again next week?
Yeah, let's do that. I obviously need to do some more testing. Thanks everyone!
Best thing to do I guess. Please, confirm you won't be launching after some minutes/hours even if you fix it, and the sooner would be tomorrow, thanks.
Definitely not. I'll also follow up with this post when I do set a time.
... seriously?
Just woke up to this
How many hours have I lost? Oh, well. Time to git pull and launch it again.
@Gleb Gamow, see above and:

Evan Duffield states, it was merely "a hobby", which is directly contradicted by:
Hello,
Were a startup looking for 1 or 2 really good C++ programmer that is familiar with the bitcoin internals to help with a for-profit startup.
We will be able to provide more information about the project after signing a non-compete/non-disclosure agreement. Our coin will be one of the truly unique coins that are not just a clone of the original Bitcoin code. In short the project will be a merge-mined altcoin that will provide a very useful service to the whole crypto-coin ecosystem.
If you have added any features to Bitcoin or related technologies this is a definite bonus. Please include information about the work youre done in the space.
We have detailed plans on how to implement it and the roles we are looking to fill. If interested please email eduffield82 gmail.com with a description of your work experience and well vett the applications and share our plans to see if youre interested.
Thanks,

Ok now it insta crashes when I type "setgenerate true".

To me it is absolutely unfair to put a decent person like Evan Duffield on that list.
He adresses the accusations at 9:50 of this interview with Trace Mayer, audiatur est altera pars:

I was just thinking about this for a coin I am considering making... I think it's a good idea for the following reasons.
* Primecoin started out very low performance and the community took it upon themselves to improve it.
* If the coin is a really good idea, people will adapt your c# to cython/c/c++ to gain an advantage and after the advantage is leaving they would open source it
I think this would basically add 1 extra step to the arms race that happens with new coins. I.e, Bytecode, machine code, GPU, ASICs, etc.
