What about exchanges? Currently, qTrade supports only Luck v1, so are there any plans to add support for Luck v2 on qTrade? Also, as you can see, and as I told you before, hard forks are harmful. They need very high level of support from existing nodes, in other case it just can cause chain split, just because if node operators won't do anything, they will cause a split, even accidentally, just by lack of information about future version (that happened when upgrading to RandomX). More than that: if users are getting a lot of coins by using Luck v1, then they have no reason to upgrade to Luck v2.

So, the conclusion is: if mainnet is still not released and if there is a way to upgrade the network in a soft-fork way, maybe it should be done that way? And if not, then it is better to think about listing on exchanges sooner than later (unless you want to make it fully decentralized and support some kind of atomic swaps by default in the client, or maybe some kind of other decentralized trading). Discord trading is also an option, but then users should know how to do it correctly, how to use Escrow, etc.

TLDR: We should think about trading ahead of time and show users how they can safely buy/sell Luck v2 if they have other coins.
