The Rubycoin admins allowed certain pools to jump in early, therefore not assuring a fair launch. When asked if those pools would be banned from future launches they said no.
Let's face it people this is a scamcoin.
When did they say that? Here in the forum?
In IRC. Suchpool.pw jumped in several minutes early "accidentally".....when asked if suchpool would be removed from future launches they said no. When asked if the Ruby Admins have had previous dealings with the suchpool admins they were very evasive.
Given this information one can assume a fix was in from the start, if that is not the case the only responsible thing to do would be remove suchpool from the first half hour or so of the second launch. They will not do this. You can only assume the first launch was dirty and the second launch will be as well. If it wasn't for other issues with the coin this probably would have gone ignored and unnoticed.
Hmm, I have been in the IRC the whole time, you wouldn't happen to be able to post a time stamp? Or approximation of the time this was said?
Edit: Just after I posted the above reply, rubycoin has updated their PG 1 with a statement, which addressed the concern with a pool ( unnamed ) that misunderstood the Unfortunately, at least one mining pool began mining early due to a misunderstanding of the procedural launch agreement. I can accept this, as mistakes happen, I'm human..I have made more than my fair share of them, and I'm sure as the years progress, I will make more.
