I officially nominate ccoin as having the worst launch ever.
Why? Everything is working smoothly and has been since at least I found out about it. Got a working wallet right of the bat (for me at lest and im a noob). Still comfortable mining with mining pools working without a hitch which is more then I can say for many new coins. It just needs more momentum and spread now..... and of course to get on an exchange, maybe faucets ets. Its only like 10 days old.
btw we need more miners on the p2p pool (squiggie).
Firstly, Beastly's opinion is not represented in any of my personal opinions. Nor should anyone assume his opinion is.
Now on to my opinions.
We did not launch with a windows wallet and i think that caused people to feel there was an issue with it.
We also launched with limited number of pools as I expected most people to solo mine at the beginning.
One of the pools had some issues with their mining services at the beginning, which i believe some people blamed us for.
We also did not launch with an exchange. i think people were upset they can't dump it on an exchange.
The old windows wallet needs you to restart after install as well (as you should with any install). If not their qt instance would crash.
I don't think it would be fair to "relaunch" a coin as one user wants us to do.
I also felt it was unfair to delay launch once we established it and had miners up at all hours waiting to try to mine it at least a bit to support us, so we launched.
I feel it is better to build a coins network to last instead of a quick pop to the top.
Our network's chain age is approximately at the appropriate age too which I believe further upsets people as they are making as much as they should in an day and not screwing up the system to mine it all to death in a week.
CCoin is here to stay and there is active development. Our development is based around community effort and community input. I'm still waiting for users to give a final "ye" or "nay" regarding transaction messaging, and to reply with other features they want us to implement. We *WILL* work our code around the community's final say.
Plus there was no pre-mine. In fact, the first block (not the genesis block, but block 1) was not mined until *AFTER* the official launch time. I have almost no ccoin as well so users do not feel i am putting out a scamcoin. Maybe my lack of mining the coin early is why people are having issues with it... No matter, in a few days ill start mining it as i feel confident that people will not be upset saying us devs were mining the crap out of it.
As the phrase goes,
BTW, there is now a total of 50k CCO available to someone who can create & publicly release a VMWare image for the community to perform gitian builds of the qt & command-line wallets for coins such as BTC, CCO, LTC, etc...
