Let's face it people this is a scamcoin.
When did they say that? Here in the forum?
In IRC. Suchpool.pw jumped in several minutes early "accidentally".....when asked if suchpool would be removed from future launches they said no. When asked if the Ruby Admins have had previous dealings with the suchpool admins they were very evasive.
Given this information one can assume a fix was in from the start, if that is not the case the only responsible thing to do would be remove suchpool from the first half hour or so of the second launch. They will not do this. You can only assume the first launch was dirty and the second launch will be as well. If it wasn't for other issues with the coin this probably would have gone ignored and unnoticed.
Hmm, I have been in the IRC the whole time, you wouldn't happen to be able to post a time stamp? Or approximation of the time this was said?
what exactly is the problem here? They blamed it on themselves that pools started too early, THAT'S why they relaunch. It doesn't matter if those pools get ban or not, pools will not get source earlier this time.
