if anybody is wondering, I sent 0.5btc to insanitydev and pm'd him the transaction id and my poloniex wolfcoin address.
he replied 2 mins later to say that he had sent the wolfcoins.
It took 8 mins for any confirmations to show at poloniex.
6 mins after that (14 mins total after he sent them), they had 4 confirmations and had completed the transfer into my poloniex account.
easy.

yeah, I agree. why complicate things? just sell on an exchange. you need to get the coins out there and sold as quickly as possible. no point in using a pot to fill the sell orders on an exchange at the end of a week to drive up the price on the exchange, if you can still buy them for 0.001 from dev. if you can buy them for 0.001 then the price hasn't really gone up. people are buying slightly higher on poloniex coz they don't want the hassle of buying direct, but its gonna be boring until all the coins are in circulation - price will remain at just over 0.001 until you cant buy from dev. best to make them as easy to buy as possible.

love the idea of this coin, but why not put the (remaining) initial allocation of coins on poloniex so that they can be bought easily? people would rather buy from an exchange. the sooner the initial allocation of coins is sold, the better coz nothings gonna happen until then
