Is it possible some miners were pre-configured for launch day ? private gpu miners ? almost every coin does that and if they say they don't their fucking lying.
Did VTC botnets get fired up ? maybe but that is not what that moron was saying.. he was dramatizing and slandering this coin over normal activity seen on all coins.
tired of stupid noobs crying instamine..
but i have complained on almost every coin when they pull gpu miners etc out of their ass long after the coin was released.. that scammy routine gets old.
short reply from me, the guy who released vertminer.
Yes, i had a GPU miner ready at ~17.00 GMT and i mined with 2x 7950.
At 23.00 or 24.00 GMT i decided to spread this to the IRC channel because no pools or GPU miner was public available.
During the next hours there was a massive community support to compile this for windows (many thanks to Aleks) and to setup the first pools so everyone could mine VTC with a GPU miner.
-> a GPU miner + Pools was available for everyone within 24 hours after coin launch, not days or even weeks later.
And as you can see, with 2x 7950s it was not real possible to make such a hugh amount of coins. Believe it or not, i am not even in the Top10.
I do not know who the other guys or groups are, but i am sure this was no one from the dev team (e.g. i have send some VTC to Bushido because he only had a Laptop to mine...)
I know this statement will not stop the FUD but at least everyone can read it and think about the bullshit from IPO and/or premined coin guys.
