While I developed the pool for the coin and had a closer look at the blockchain, I noticed that there were large farms mining this coin, of course there were also a few solominers, but the biggest amount of coins always went to the already big wallets (with private pools) so the distribution was even worse than with other coins which had "normal" distribution through pools.
Thanks for the detail, most useful. The data is all recorded in the blockchain, is amenable to analysis and now that I've got some idea what patterns to look for (thank you), I can get a better understanding of how the distribution has played out thus far.
Cheers
