How long does it usually take to get the first satoshis into this coin? A friend of mine got this coin a month ago but claims it is still empty.
That depends on a multitude of factors (p2pool luck, coin sales, pool usage, network difficulty, etc.)... We are waiting on the next batch of upgraded ASICs, so I assume donations will be rising quite a bit in the next few weeks. You can check the coin's balance prior to it hitting the payout threshold at any time by logging into your account at NastyFans.org. If you don't have an account at NastyFans.org, you can sign up and use nastyfans.org/post to post a message with the coin's address and your username to have the coin linked to your account.
Very nice looking coin. Hopefully a few more reviews with pictures will come in. Great job though!
There are a few more pics on page 2 of the thread if you missed those. Although, I'm always happy to have people post more.
I'd say what makes this coin special is that it actually has a chance of reaching more in it's denomination than it's cost. No other coin in mankind's history (to my knowledge) has that possibility.
