Herp derp there certainly are a lot of tards on here. Thinking that 30000 cpus joining at the start is completely logical. Ever heard of a botnet? The more they hear about it the more will mine, including them. I have personally generated plenty of blocks, although there is a very large amount of stales what do you expect with so many cpus and little difficulty.

Why would a botnet mine a brand new nearly worthless cryptocurrency? Botnets generally have more profitable things to do with their computing power. 30,000+ nodes is illogical. Even more illogical is that as difficulty rises the speed of blocks has remained constant between 1 & 2 blocks per second. That would mean not only do you have 30,000 nodes but you are picking up 100+ nodes a minute to avoid block times slowing down (hashing power falling behind difficulty).
