Block 1 mined yesterday, fair enough (it's a genesis and necessary to incorporate it into the client), but note that "real world" mining from block 2 onwards started 5 sec just before launch.

That means someone had a wallet up and synced, 100% ready to go, at the exact time of launch.

While all the rest of us were trying to find a working pool or wallet for half an hour or more.

Just thought I'd put that out there.
