dopey can you answer that question?
Yes,
Lexerom is a developer that works with me and has helped setup the servers, websites etc during the launch. He was intimately involved in the launch process and was able to connect to the pool directly with the ip from what I understand. This was not intentional and any benefit I will pay out of pocket back to the community.
It obviously was intentional, mining BEFORE the official launch time and obviously changing ports or whatever was the cause for others not being able to connect. This sounds fishy, that's all I can say..
thank you dopey for clearing the blame on us leafcoin devs.
Don't get ahead of yourselves, as this still doesn't explain why you guys where all three mining BEFORE launch time.
It's pretty damn obvious the three of you are connected, and you most likely had the same intentions: Getting quick and easy coins..
Disgusting!
