I'm a bit confused about the whole pre-mine statement. Using your 2 nodes I believe i mined the very first block at 2:04pm EST
http://i58.tinypic.com/jtl27p.jpgCurrently the wallet shows 4180 as the current number of blocks.
So, what exactly is going on here?
Within few minutes from coin launch we received complains from 2 users, stating that coin was premined by 1000 blocks. Then we got technical question from another user about re-target difficulty problem. We had to check on this issue and noticed that client detected 1000 blocks few minutes after the launch. This is normal for new coin to have very low difficulty and to find blocks very quickly on start, however difficulty re-target should have been occurred at the block 2016. We couldn't ignore accusation that someone pre-mined the coin. We had to act and solve both issues at once. We immediately announced about retarget problem, asked users to stop using the client until this issue was solved and shut down nodes within few minutes, however someone created artificial network and continued to mine. How could we ignore that, considering that most miners will assume that we could have pre-mined, then mined more coins while doing something that nobody else has witnessed? We can launch former client if miners believe that it will not affect them, but in this situation we have no choice but to let everyone know of this issue and to vote on it.
