i dont want to jump to any conclusions, but it seems like the early mining might not have been distributed that well. one of the things i liked about this coin i show the launch seemed like it was going to spread the coins out more than IPO launches. but i wonder if it did the opposite. some people with massive CPU farms or botnets?
Theres no way to prevent that, theres always someone with more resources like you and well everyone can use for example cloudmining.
Since this happens on almost every single new coin it is worth pointing out that there is a way to prevent these kinds of very early mining issues when you are ramping up hash rate and difficulty from zero (with literally
no chain history over which to run a difficulty retarget, so this is not exactly the same as a growing nethash later). You have the reward slowly ramp up over some time period (days to weeks) to avoid the extreme hash rate traffic jam at the beginning.
This also reduces the cost to people who can't mine at the very beginning due to various launch issues (builds that don't work on certain operating systems, etc.).
Too late for this coin but any future coins that want to avoid intentional or unintentional instamine issues at the very beginning should do this.
