Well I guess I totally missed this coin launch.  I started early on the maxcoin pool that was setup to switch to helixcoin at launch only to find I only had 2 coins 6 hours later.  Turns out I 14 gave me almost entirely stale shares.  Oh well not much I can do now but learn for the next coin launch and try and get a couple of these before they are too hard to accumulate.  It's a very interesting coin so I'll look forward to seeing how things fare for it.
