Actually, you even don't have to rent them. You can run stratum proxies on different IPs and let 50 Mh/s through each of the proxies to the Minerals pool to different accounts and it would appear the hashes are comming from different IPs and different users when actually they are from one giant farm. Admitedly, this coin made it a little bit harder to mine with 1 Gh/s but far from impossible. And whales will always be whales with a lot of resources at their disposal. The only question is are they interested in this coin. And they could be, just because most of the people believe they aren't...

Somebody said there are no whales on this coin since hour 10. Probably there are, they're just well camouflaged...
