I don't really get all the hate and discontent.  I for one am quite satisfied with how things turned out.   In comparison with some of the coins recently that debuted without a genesis block or completely premined, this was pretty smooth.

I only mine at 120Kh/s, so I am not exactly one of the big guys.  In fact, I have yet to get my first full coin out of the pools.  Still, I have been following this coin since it was announced and will keep mining it.  I think it has a long-term potential that the majority out there don't.

So to the devs:  good job, guys.
