It was fine. Much better than most and it went according to plan.

The reason for so many pools was to give people options when the pool they were mining on was ddosed. If you were smart you would have setup different batch files for a few different pools making switching quick and easy.

I got the client working almost immediately, it was fine everything worked. The difficulty was low at the beginning, but we like that, we like to see blocks fly by. Lots of orphans.. I did not find a single block soloing. I did expect that with all the hype. So I switched to a pool around and hour after launch when the difficulty hit 16. I have about 700,000 Coinye now with 10Mh. I think I'll keep mining this. I suspect the price will go up sharply as people want to get their hands on these coins.
