What? Have you seen the code? It's sloppy as hell. The labels don't make sense. There's few notes/comments in the code itself. The coin set itself apart before it launched as a coin with some good ideas. The implementation and launch failed miserably. That's why the original thread had to be locked.

1. How could the difficulty level have increased so quickly if nobody was mining? That makes no sense. People were indeed mining. The developers and his buddies were mining along with a few people who had 1000 cpus or 500 cpus. They got the early coins. Mining was going on for 12 hours before the first pool was up with all the smaller users getting no blocks. Only those with 50+ CPUs got blocks before 1gh was up.

2. 18 hours after launch, still no pool.

2. something like 8% of the total was pre-mined.

3. You are a complete fool if you don't believe that there are a lot of ways to exploit this coin. Oh, that's right. Your programming skills are probably as poor as your grammar. I'm out of this thread. This shit is amateur hour.

FrankieSaysRelax, your points are mostly wrong. There's no need to be that angry. I usually don't do this, but let me please:

The code is not sloppy (I do have a development background as well); good code does not necessarily need comments; implementation is fine. The original thread was locked by keccak512 himself cause it's a pre-ANN thread which is continued here in the ANN thread.

1. difficulty level increased quickly as wallets were being fired up because everyone was solo-mining (with the wallet). This lead to equal distribution of block rewards according to hash power. There was no chance to instamine the coin in an unfair manner.

2. there is a pool at 1gh. other than that, yes, it's indeed suboptimal that no stratum implementation is up yet but it shortly will. It should have been finished yesterday, but it is actually not an easy task and you can rest assured it is being worked on with highest priority.

3. there was an IPO to kickstart the coin and there's bounty premine to set up rewards in order to improve HVC's infrastructure. everything is transparent and carefully arranged.

Judging from your posts I do not believe that you have knowledge in development.

Be well
