Well, this was an interesting ride. My first launch 
Hardcored totally failed for me. I was getting nothing but rejects. Dammit, I like you guys. Prolly gonna try again in a few minutes. It took a WHILE to connect to anybody else. You guys might try lightninghash if you got a big rig, they are running real smooth but got NO hashpower. Like 12 plus hours estimated to find a block. Can't play that with my little rig, so I wound up (for now) at Hashing.at, which after 15 minutes is showing the same or close too it as cgminer on my stats.
So, you veterans, is it normal for most of the pools to be dead ten to fifteen minutes into a launch? Or just my usual luck?

Pretty typical actually. Out of 10 pools that say they'll be ready at launch, usually only a couple actually are. It's a crap shot which ones will be ready and which will be dead, so it's best to pre-register at a couple.
My pool should have been ready within about 60 seconds of releasing the password but the windows wallet had problems - had to compile the linux wallet and run that instead. By that time, hasher.at already had the entire network, and he probably will for a long time.
http://bns.pitythepool.com is pretty lonely, but unique in the fact that it's the only place you can get the real total network hash and est. next difficulty - which, btw, should be around 2,400,000
What is the current total network hash showing by the way?
