The first thing we need to discuss is why there is no block explorer for the current coin.  The only ones I know of are 40,000 blocks behind.  Don't the exchanges need one to look for double spend attempts?

The exchange wallets aren't working correctly (if at all) and we are supposed to get our coins up on to them?  We also need a tweet or notice or anything from the exchanges that show that they are going to be in on the transition.
