Early adopters were mining with cpu's - new formula was implemented after gpu miner was published as the hashrates were multiplied.

The change you're talking about was the second, the first one here: https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/ab58f240aca5b43e22b990c4a872fce4174bcf80

Right now it's already 4th version.

The latest changes (https://github.com/evan82/darkcoin/commit/970f9d202aeb90c5d9168736a07c05ed0e2fc448) was made as to prevent a possible attack https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5348513#msg5348513. But it could be prevented by starting more p2pools, and I see the change as an attempt to limit reward to 25, so if the coin lose popularity nobody could get blocks with up to 153 coins.

Initial miners got more coin as in any coin. There were three formulas, initial one was changed very quickly, then there was the cpu mining formula and after a threshold of 75 of difficulty , the new GPU formula (which gives out more coin for a longer time) kicked in. Nothing sinister about it. Early adopters get more, it's always like that. With so many coins coming out these days , why shouldn't they.
