What is up to you is to post your plans for the coin and get another pool to secure the network.
For a 1 week mining period, having more than one pool is not necessary. It's dangerous for all the mining power of bitcoin to be in the hands of any one person, but it doesn't matter for a coin like this with a total value of a couple of hundred dollars.
It's more important right now for more people to mine it.
The dev could help that by posting a killer roadmap, but being a rational person, he probably isn't so he can mine more and I don't blame him.
