The developers and his buddies were mining along with a few people who had 1000 cpus or 500 cpus. They got the early coins.
Show us your proof of this. Or, you can stop spreading FUD.
i disagree with you. as there were no pools after launch, difficulty went up quickly fast... nobody had the chance to instamine the coin as ALL had wallet mining only. btw if u have a background in development u would know that u can by no means create this coins implementation in two weeks.. I am a very small fish but i mined from the beginning and i am good to go (even got some blocks solo). i am still mining now at 1gh. this coin sets itself apart from the standard copyclone in the forum by far. now there are some people who are completely frustrated and i can understand that because they are angry at the launch. understandable. but criticizing the development of the coin and "wait til an attack happens and the incompetent developer" etc., sentences like this, its just funny man. the fact that u are posting here proves that u have some reason to give hvc attention. anyway good luck to u. to each his own, i endorse that!!
You're absolutely right. There was way too much work put in to this coin for it to be a week. I honestly remember a few launches I was part of and a lot of them were delayed or lacked features at the start. A lot of coins didn't have some or all aspects and features that they enjoy now at launch.
For those that really feel like spreading FUD:
These were not superficial changes to a QT like a lot of coins do. There was a serious overhaul and redevelopment. That, IMO is worth the IPO cost.
Innovation does not come from copying what has done before. This wasn't a reworking of Scrypt or Sha based coin. If you like this, great, support it. If you don't, don't.
