For the people complaining about a couple early miners getting large amounts of coins, I'm 99% sure it was not the actual developer.  I was there in the early part and the two biggest miners were named "Brandondoge" and "Panicshibe", these are two people that are in the #shibecoin channel that are definitely not the same person as the dev.  I just asked about it too:



Other people have also looked at distribution and said it's currently better than both Blackcoin and Dogecoin.

When I came into this coin, the two people I mentioned above are the ones I've kept my eye on to watch for possible coin movements.  I thought most people knew these are the two guys that hold the most.  For the sake of the developer/coin, these 2 guys are now officially "outed" as being the biggest holders.  The developer isn't the ones with the most coins, I'm 99% positive.

I would have sold my coins if the developer had that much control over the price, but from the start of the coin, i already knew it was those two people I mentioned.

I looked up on Doges.org and one of them had a post on the forum the first day it opened (same as me), so it seems to be original Dogecon people.  There's one of my posts on Dec 8 below, he had several posts on the same date talking about creating the #dogecoin channel

If you want to see something really fucking funny about the developer supposedly getting all the early coins, read the following, "frst" is Fyrstikken btw:



You may recognize him from this Dogecoin video lol:

So this is what my investigation has uncovered, apparently Loq (the original poster), launched the coin on IRC using ASCII art spam to invite people to mine the coin.  Just like the original Dogecoin, people thought it was a retarded joke and barely anyone showed up to launch.  Then the network hashrate later grew to 120ghash:

If you look at these sites, almost every article is bashing some coin, then the coins they DO PROMOTE, happen to have the exact same attributes, or worse, as the coins they claim are scams.

Take Cryptocurrency Times and it's Darkcoin article:

http://www.usacryptocoins.com/thecryptocurrencytimes/uncategorized/dark-coin-a-valuable-new-cryptocurrency-with-completely-anonymous-transactions/

After spamming a million articles calling everything a scam, they magically give Darkcoin a pass and don't mention ANY of the suspcious or damning facts about it's launch.  

Most of the Darkcoin issues are talked about in this guy's post titled "SCAM Darkcoin instamine 2 millions DRKs (50% of darkcoin in circulation)":

Darkcoin is one of the shadiest coins out there for launch and distribution.  Seriously, how does a coin where blocks are erroneously set to 500 instead of 50 even survive at all?  This is something that the GPUcoin dev did, and he failed like 5 launches, then just aborted the blockchain because he knew there was no point.

It's complete batshit crazy that sites like that exist and try to act as information gatekeepers telling you a coin with a 0.5% premine is a scam, then giving Darkcoin a pass with like a 50% premine.
