I would believe that is the case. But I don't understand why they don't go mining instead. With the current diff, even I can get something out of it, I get at least 1000 NOBL/day on my laptop that is mining @ 29KH/s, possibly 40KH/s if I also turn on CPU mining. My suggestion to people wanting to kickstart their wallet is checking out the giveaway thread, 5000 NOBL guaranteed for users of twitter and facebook.
