As I see it - some lessons that can be learned

Despite some minor irritations annoying a few prolific - and ill-tempered - posters this has been a pretty smooth launch.

That said I think the devs were too accommodating when some miners whined about the need to ban "anyone who's getting more than me". I personally saw no problem with the initially-proposed 300MH worker limit, even though I control just 4 rigs with a net x11 hash rate of 40MH if I'm really lucky. People want to take the risk of hiring some hash power for a new coin they can not move because there are no wallets? Good for them, although they stand to lose mightily if we do not develop a community around this crypto-currency.

On the point of community, what's with the ethnic insults that appeared on this thread? Are you children? You need to learn some manners. Civility is a minimum requirement for community.

With regard to the devs being too accommodating, the rushed change to a one-worker limit was not really fair to miners engaging in that universally-practiced activity, sleeping. At the very least time zones should have been considered and pools located in regions where local time was between say midnight and 08:00 should have been left as-were with warnings posted. Granted, other users would have rushed to mine there but the devs control all the pools - just turn off new account creation on those pools until limits are imposed. There really was no need to waste their hash power.

With regard to the panic and intemperate posts over some miners having more hash power than others, why is that an issue? The wallets and source code have not yet been released, no one can sell before you have the opportunity to do so. Strip-mining pools have been excluded, they can not flood the market and kill the coin value. Reading the posts it really does look like a case of "Stop those people! They're getting more than me!". Really guys? So how many of the complainers and demanders for immediate action have pointed their rig(s) at blackcoin pool for a day or two to enter their promotional draw for the 300MHs knc titan miner give-away? I imagine if they won such a thing they would be somewhat less inclined to restrict people's hash rates.

People need to calm down and devs need to take a bit more control. A few whingers do not a community make. Do what is good for the coin rather than simply oiling the squeakiest wheels. Unless you give one coin to every one of the world's citizens you are not likely to get a much fairer launch than this. The sudden switch to a one-worker limit was ill-conceived and hastily implemented. I imagine many people are like me, seeing ridiculous rejection rates even though we couldn't reach a 50MHs limit with rocket boosters.

On the whole a pretty good launch but please devs, take a little more control and accommodate the jealous, greedy and petulant a little less. Community isn't "all about me".
