Last thing we want is having OEC at the top and Dev without a block explorer yet, without a block explorer this coin will have a hard time getting listed.
Regarding the block explorer, the best and easiest way would be to try to get OEC added to Minergate. They'll provide block explorer and it would also increase visibility and hash rate, since they are currently probably the best cryptonote pool IMHO.
And how do we go about doing that?
Well I guess the first step could be that the dev(s) contact them?
Let me point out that this pool: http://oec.poolto.be is stealing shares don't bother mining there, mine at the official pool.
They have very "good" calculator: If I enter 400 H/s got 165 coins per day: and on extreme pool god 45 coin per day. I did test solo mining and got 13 block : aprox same as predict on extremepool.org
