    HISTORY OF POOLS
    Just to share a bit of information not many miners are aware of, but when this coin was first launched, the original "offical" pools were sharing the ONLY working stratum server code (so a coin made by developers, stratum forked to work for the coin, by the developers) which was not shared publicly, infact you were solicited to pay "early access fee" if asked for it (~2BTC). 
    What pools?

    Maxcoinpool and Rocketpool were both "official" pools that were sharing their fork of the stratum code, which were constantly getting DDoSed.

    1GH and YPOOL were the non-official pools that had their own custom implementation of stratum (non-GPL, non python I believe), which was probably the only reason the coin survived the first 2 days after launch.
