Some updates:
Currently, Rubies is still in a heavy distribution phase during this time we will continue to run large contests for everyone to properly distribute coins.
Right now your options for obtaining Rubies are:
1. Trade-Mining at C-Cex earning 60 Rubies per 1 BTC of trade volume. (ends April 30th)
2. Contests and tournaments held by the current Rubies supporting business like Bubblesbit.com, Jackpotracer, Betterbets
3. Buying off any of the three exchanges Livecoin, C-Cex, and Yobit
4. Bet-mining as explained on the OP
5. peer to peer trades/purchases.
(Completed distributions methods are Twitter campaign, initial launch distribution, and numerous business promotions)
I am looking into a new type of distribution that would include miners, any feedback on desired algo's would be appreciated as well.
Future plans:
As I have mentioned in the past, many of our stakeholders are also established business owners. The primary focus is on integration and adoption of Rubies by these and future businesses.
Something that is extremely important for long-term health of any currency, digital or not, is use; and Rubies has it. We have already achieved this in the first 2 months of launch, however now we will be pushing towards mass business adoption and it's not an 'IF' this is a fact. Most businesses prepping for launch are nearing final testing and should be ready to experience within a month or two.
I hope those who choose to read my wall of text understand that we are not just building this coin for the sake of it, it's to give you all an option to use/trade/stake vs. Bitcoin and one that is accepted by most of the sites we use daily.
Have a great weekend community,

Great update everything you devs have said will happen has happened so to a bright future with Rubies. You guys should make your own exchange or something. If bittrex and polo wanna play dumb take advantage of your positions in bitcoin land and just build a competitor. Think it over....
