I propose or suggest the following:
1. One week announce time before going live, meaning one week the wallets are ready in zips with password.
2. One week 1.0 RSC block reward.
Those two combined above will give everyone more than enough time to grab the wallet, set up pools, miners, etc. Everything will be as fair as possible, for the miners anyway. Those who get really early get to test their systems.
Everyone who is mining by the 10,000th block starts receiving the "real" reward, at the correct fork or blockchain, at the appropriate difficulty level.
