well actually if you started at launch you wouldve got hella coins i made bout 12btc with my 840mh/s
I'm not so sure about that. I started at launch on i0coins and made practically nothing. It appears in order to grab a large chunk at launch you need either very fast cards (6990's) or very low latency. My three 5850's don't seem to cut it.
When i was mining IXCoin around launch, it did seem like my 6990 was pulling more blocks compared to my 5830's, but it could've just been variance.
