Instamined by the devs just like any other coin, including BTC. The only 'relatively fair' coin is NVC, where the devs publicly destroyed their coins after a massive hate attack on the forums.
NVC was pre-mine, and only less than half of the pre-mine were publicly destroyed. I don't think insta-mine is as bad as pre-mine. Every coin has to start by rewarding early adopters, otherwise no one would help to promote it. If a coin start with sky high difficulty, it'll just be dead in the water with no one mining it. In the long term, the insta-mine portion is tiny compared to the total amount of coin that will be produced. You can think of the instamine as a bounty for early miners/adopters.

65k were premined and 110k (65k premined + 45k instamined) destroyed. At the moment of destruction, 110k was about half of all coins. But it depends on your 'pre-mine' definition. NVC was announced in Russian section of Bitcointalk, just like CHNcoin was announced on a Chinese forum, but who said that coins must be announced in English? I don't think insta-mine is as bad as pre-mine. Every coin has to start by rewarding early adopters, otherwise no one would help to promote it. If a coin start with sky high difficulty, it'll just be dead in the water with no one mining it. In the long term, the insta-mine portion is tiny compared to the total amount of coin that will be produced. You can think of the instamine as a bounty for early miners/adopters.
You can also think of the premine as a bounty for the developers. A coin can be launched at moderate difficulty if the devs release the source a month or two before launch, so that everyone can get ready, including pools.

Dunno why but I was trying to connect a worker with CGminer and: pool 0 JSON stratum auth failed: <null> Triple checked my username and password, they are both correct.

is there an official thread for this pool?
Did anyone else not get credit for block 15,632? its acting like it was orphan, but not marked orphan.

Ewwwww .. that's not a good sign..I was a fan of Big Vern, he used to answer the questions of miners in his forum promptly, no matter how inane they were..

Seems to be back up (bunch of orphans in block history, not surprisingly), but still not a single word from owner. I got no reward from 20718 to 20,769, those are confirmed and after it seemed to forked at 20772.
The silence from pool owner is making me not want to use any of the pools listed on cryptsy...

Big Vern did make good the coins that werent showing up at cryptsy. We did lose most of our mining from the 21st, and all of our work efforts from the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. No explanations or emails to anyone though.
