There wasn't any substantial instamine. Let's be realistic, 9 blocks just does not matter at all, and the first blocks on a coin will
always be mined in less than a few seconds. Even if the developer is using even a single GPU to start the blockchain, that's what you'll see. That's not an "instamine" by any stretch of the imagination though.
For reference, I saw the announcement thread and had the wallet compiled by block 93, with the first block found on our pool at block 110. (All blocks for every coin are viewable on my pool, if you're curious to see the early blocks we mined. Just check
https://www.ipominer.com/stats?curr=stv and click "All Blocks Found - STV" at the bottom of the block list, then go to the last page.)
use the wallet there you see it
Here's the block 1 data from the commandline wallet:

}
And, I've confirmed the proof of work reward schedule in the code does match the announcement post:
// miner's coin base reward
int64_t GetProofOfWorkReward(int64_t nFees)
{
int64_t nSubsidy = 972 * COIN;
if(pindexBest->nHeight <= 7200)
{
nSubsidy = 972 * COIN;
}
if (fDebug && GetBoolArg("-printcreation"))
printf("GetProofOfWorkReward() : create=%s nSubsidy=%"PRId64"\n", FormatMoney(nSubsidy).c_str(), nSubsidy);
return nSubsidy + nFees;
}
(Which, if you don't read code, says that all blocks under block 7200 have the same reward of 927 STV.)
