You can't really say it's instamined either according to these comments which were made on July 22, 1 day after it was released.

- "there was no instamine. I mined my first block at around 300sh with my little Xeon cluster, and it was already pretty hard to catch a new block. It was much much easier to get Primecoins for the first three days with the same cluster."

- "I got about 100k in the first hour and another 100k in the next 12 hours. Not really instamine. After the first hour the difficulty drastically changed things.
Considering blocks are 2048 coins thats not that many. I did the same with YAC, and XPM when they came out."

Damn. Looks like a lot of professionalism went into that video. Probably better than anything LTC has, but they aren't going for 'flash'

The foundation/community did put a lot of effort into it. :)
