Also, follow-up question:
Any idea on when you'll hit exchanges? Do you guys have your sights on any? Made any arrangements?
To be honest, we have not been focusing on this. It's still early days and there are so many other high priority tasks in hand.
Our view on "getting HVC onto an exchange" is this--- if you build something innovative then it will find its way onto an exchange by itself more quickly. While we think this is highly probable, also we could be wrong. So we are ready to do whatever is necessary to get HVC onto multiple exchanges following the launch. We already have bounties in place for promoting this. On the development side, we will work with the exchanges on any integration related development that may be required, though we are not aware of anything.
We think that based on innovation, Heavycoin will get onto an exchange sooner and easier than many other altcoins. We have not made any specific arrangements. Sights would be set on Cryptsy. Overall though, we want HVC to be available on multiple exchanges with good reputations.
Apparently poloniex.com is supposed to favor innovative coins--- a winning strategy IMHO. Perhaps this means HVC would be qualified to be listed there more easily. In any case, exchanges do well to listen to what "the people" say, so we encourage you to inquire about HVC at your favorite exchanges.
