Where is the hurry? Pool mining is in developing stages, you can already mine in experimental pool on main net. The fact that so much bad interest in webdollar shows how strong this currency will be, all of these attacks make the coin more secure and more reliable. I don't think exchanges are really something that's needed right now, first thing is security and smooth working and easy to implement public / private pools. Don't forget the first halving of mining reward is in ~3.5 years from now, this coin will face many more challenges to come, if you are in a hurry this is not the coin for you.
