Someone rambled about the time gap between genesis block being published, January 3rd and the sourceforge upload of 0.1 which was 5 days later. Whoever wanted to mine along had two months prior notice to join Satoshi, Hal of course did, besides there wasn't much resonance from the fairly large cypherpunk mailinglist. So sayeth the scriptures.

I never came across a reasoning or explanation for the delay between genesis and sourceforge upload, has anyone an idea? Some point at this time gap and call it premine, I don't see it that way but curious about the upload delay.
