I'm wrestling over media coverage versus timely launch.

Media coverage wins. I want people lining up to buy my ipo coins. Wink

Well I didn't expect so much of it so soon. My friend sent me this picture from TV

Translation - A Québecer proposes a virtual currency made for Québec. So we're on TV now as well as the media, earlier today one of the articles was retweeted by an account with 126 000 Followers. The media coverage definitely wins.

Dont see why everyone is hating... 24h delay to make sure things go smooth sounds okay to me.
Take your time and make sure the real launch is perfect, good luck ! i will be there mining it

Well I get why they feel like that, but It's important to get a great start.

I don't have any animals but you can come do some property damage or kidnap my girlfriend, there won't be any problems tomorrow.

And how does your girlfriend feel about this? Grin

She's slightly turned on.

Man, why do you launch at 8am? I came up today on Easter holiday early, but could sleep till noon... Now I have to come up tomorrow on Saturday at 8am?! Why not to launch at 12pm?

It seems like a good time for Europe and North America to be honest. Of course I can't please everyone but it's good for most people.

(..) For anyone who hates my guts, I hate my guts too, but I would have hated myself more if you guys ran into any kind of problem while mining.

Keep your cool and make good on the delay, it's all you need Cool

I tried H2O from the beginning, all the way until the 3th failed launch in a row - the lesson learned is if you postpone once and do a decent job of explaining it, it's OK, but if you fail twice, the coin is DOA Undecided

So just concentrate on it, because now you better make sure the extra 24 h are more than enough to make the launch - forget the media coverage and shit, solve the pending problems and get this ball rolling - you can answer them after we're mining Grin

To the guys renting rigs: don't you ever learn? if you're renting before or on launch, make sure you have a good second choice to point those rigs into and don't come crying in the thread. Renting as its risks and you know them before you pay. Man up!

So it was 3 failed launches after all for H20, that's not something I'm gonna put anyone through. Right now I'm forgetting about the media as much as possible and setting everything up. I do feel bad for the people who rented rigs, I didn't think about them initially. Also the people who set up the pools, one of them apparently took some time off for this launch and I apologize to them as well.

There's discussion on every articles. The machine HAS began running!

Yeah we're definitely gaining major steam and coverage in Québec, I've got tons of e-mails from people wanting interviews, etc.

If it's any consolation, the FUD will give people who missed the IPO a chance to buy in cheap.

I'm not sure there's much FUD to be honest. I'm not running away or anything, it's simply that I needed more time to get the quality I wanted.
