We tend to disagree. Listings on exchanges do not ensure whether the coin is alive or dead. Don't get us wrong, we would like VOT to be listed on as many exchanges as possible. We did our best to get VOT listed at several exchanges (small and big ones). But please understand that it is not our decision not to be listed, it relies solely on exchange decision which coin they list! Show us other coins that started from scratch, are 1 month old and already have listings on major exchanges.

For example look what happened to Bitcoinz. After listing on C-cex price went down from 150 sat to 11 sat. This shows, that listing on multiple exchanges will not help coin to grow. What will help to grow value of the coin is finished product which users will use. Once we have finished product, people will start using it, creating demand for VOT and this is the time when exchanges will start listing VOT. To be honest, without working product we seriously doubt any major exchange would list VOT.

And we are working hard to have our product (wallet with voting feature) finished as soon as possible.

It has been little over 2 weeks from the end of the ICO. We spent some time trying to get VOT to exchanges, some time recruiting more work force and now we have finally jumped on development. We collected only fraction of the necessary funds during ICO and we did NOT reach our milestone for GUI Wallet. But we want to continue on this project, since we are convinced that the idea of using VoteCoin for public voting, crowd funding and opinion surveys has big potential. Unfortunately due to lack in financing, things may go little bit slower.

We agree with your suggestions that our top priority should be VoteCoin GUI Wallet now.

There are several possible ways to go:

1) The Quick way - we can fork or extend some existing software, such as https://github.com/zencashio/eleos and release it as VOT Wallet. We're not willing to go this way, since such wallet brings no new features to VoteCoin. We prefer to focus on developing our own software. But if there is a community member who wants to try this, we will surely support that effort by providing links from our website to such fork.

2) The Satisfactory way - we can develop a solution to provide some sort of GUI on top of the text-mode wallet. Technically, you would still need to run the text-mode wallet as you do it now, and at the same time you would be able to access the most common features through your web browser, which would communicate with the textmode wallet. This way we could create appealing GUI wallet in a reasonable time, but this would be a bit uncomfortable and unprofessional. On the other hand, the code implemented for this solution could be mostly reused for our final GUI wallet too, so we may be able to do this within the next few weeks.

3) The Best way - we prefer to continue developing VoteCoin GUI wallet with all the features we want (especially the voting) in Electron, or similar multi-platform framework. Our dev team estimates that this will take few months to be completed and properly tested. We hope to provide such wallet in first quarter of 2018.

Да вы что? правда? видимо вы совсем не в курсе происходящего, если считаете этот пул единственным официальным

Отличная новость, жаль что только в 11 вечера запускается, неохота так ждать, а в первых рядах охота помайнить.
