Title: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: coblee on October 09, 2011, 06:15:05 AM See Litecoin announcement here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=47417.0
We wanted to be fair so there are 4 options that are 6 hours apart spanning the 24 hours in a day. Vote for the the time most convenient to you. Note: the options are in GMT times. So make sure you convert it to your timezone. For example, US pacific time is GMT -7, so the first option is actually 2am PDT. And US eastern time is GMT -4, so the first option is actually 5am EDT.

But no doubt it will be due to the number of non-UK users :(

Wish more people from Europe would weigh in on this so... I might have to STAY UP UNTIL 4AM...Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: bulanula on October 11, 2011, 04:48:14 AM Please launch as late as possible. Thanks !
Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: localhost on October 11, 2011, 08:07:27 AM I hope we get a second round to choose between the 2 most voted options. It'd be sad to end up launching at 3am just because GMT voters got spread over 3 day times.

It'd be sad to end up launching at 3am just because GMT voters got spread over 3 day times. If there's a close tie between the last 2 options. Would it make sense to launch halfway between them?

No, in such cases you usually eliminate the last option, then you do the poll again and repeat until you have a winner :) Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched?

No, in such cases you usually eliminate the last option, then you do the poll again and repeat until you have a winner :) You can change your pick. So I've asked people who currently are picking one of the 2 losers to change their pick to which of the 2 winning options they prefer. Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched?

Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: localhost on October 11, 2011, 11:55:41 AM You can change your pick. It doesn't seem so... or the "change your vote" button is damn well hidden :(Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: Ashkelon on October 11, 2011, 03:09:31 PM where is the change vote button (In hindsight I would rather launch my miners and deal with whatever bugs come up in what for me is early evening rather than at 4am...)

Would it make sense to launch halfway between them? that would be changing the rules of the vote halfway. Not fair. It is also very possible that the average would be very inconvenient for people who voted for the nearest time slot. For instance 1h more or less can make the difference between being at home and being at work. Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched? Post by: Ashkelon on October 11, 2011, 04:29:45 PM Quick question, when the launch does happen, will we need to do any config changes in order to mine? Apart from setting testnet=0 of course

For instance 1h more or less can make the difference between being at home and being at work. I agree. I say we release on exactly the moment that gets the most votes. It isn't convenient for me, but if we're going to make statements, we need to stick by them. Title: Re: When should Litecoin be launched?

Just launch Thursday at 3am GMT pls ! |
