Why the CC pool can get the source code in advance
This coin must have some dirty trick
The pools got the source so the code could be reviewed prior to launch. There have been a few coins lately with nasty code injected allowing millions of coins to be generated via POS. We wanted people to be able to be confident the code was clean.
Unfortunately one of the pools I gave the code to took advantage of that, despite agreeing not to start stratum until end of count down.
Thankfully, we had 100 blocks of 1 reward, of which we mined to 38 to ensure that the network was running smoothly.
Pools got online at between block 106 and 110, so only 6-10 blocks got caught by whoever mined early. In the grand scheme of 12k blocks I think we can live with 6 blocks instamined by whoever it was.
