Deployment time of coin contract is announced tomorrow in this thread and on our forum. It will be within one month, but we need to do some final testing so we are confident we will be able to commit to the deadline we announce. This contract will give Makercoin full coin functionality, like bitcoin. Before the contract is deployed, you can still trade MKR for BTC using our forums accounting.

Release date of Maker is early next year (current best estimate). Other modules will come intermittently, including Maker CFD's (decentralized leveraged trading and USD hedging using ether) and a soon-to-be-announced whitelisted fiat (USD/GDP/EUR) gateway that can be used as an onramp for MKR (and eventually Dai).
