lol 23 days before wolf0 looked at this and made an optimized miner and decided to tell the dev so pebblecoindev can level the playing field by fixing the issue asap. this is not sounding like a story about unfair initial distribution. unfair would be if wolf0 mined this for 20+ days then told us about it.
The low prices being offered indicate those coins were not mined on expensive 13GB+ machines using the public software.
wolf0 isn't the only one who can un-deoptimize a purposely bloated/crippled algorithm. We've seen this movie before, and sequels almost always suck.
or theres like 10 miners on the coin and low interest at this point and running a cpu costs pennies so its selling for cheap if at all.
Running a cpu may cost pennies but powerful 13GB+ systems could be mining many other coins, so there is an opportunity cost.
OTOH, if you have an unfair advantage from a private un-deoptimized miner (and credulous buyers standing by), it's pure profit.
