One of the ipoMiner support staff that helps us with covering Bitcointalk also works with MastiffCoin, handling their bitcointalk promotion work.
If you look into the blockchain and ipoMiner's own block records, you'll clearly see that ipoMiner did not mine the coin until well after 2 hours past launch. (We typically try to avoid mining coins at launch because many launches fail, forks happen more frequently in the first hour of a coin, etc.)
Additionally, having confidence in a coin because we're familiar with the team that is launching it seems like a great reason to mine it. And just out of curiosity, what was the other option for a good X11 coin to mine this week? The only one that comes to mind was XC, which is clearly a scam (that has admittedly done well, but anyone claiming to implement anonymous transactions in a few days is very questionable).
And, for the record, we try to get in touch with the developers and participate in the community of as many of the coins as we can. It is one of the ways that we try to stay ahead of the competition to try to bring you the most profitable new coins.

Like I previously said it worked out well, but...
In the future, please disclose such information.
Most people will trust you but it seems like you guys were "hiding facts" from us.
If you do this on one coin then how do we know you aren't holding a lot of other coins you want to "dump" and use the pool for help?
Not that I think this but we don't want worry about this type of thing either. FULL DISCLOSE PLEASE for any coin you have an affiliation with (in any shape/manner) is all.

PS If you had mentioned the "strong affiliation" and confidence in this coin, you might have gotten even more hash.
Just don't give us a reason to think you guys are "sneaky". That is all. Nothing more or less.
) - in fact you can mine them whilst still mining something else with your GPU.
