Alright I heard back from steakcloud. He asked for more information and told me:
Once reviewed swing will be added to the waiting list and can take anywhere from 1 week to a moth to be added as a supported coin.
Well even though it's not immediate its still good news, and still time to maybe pick up a dump or two more.
Yup. It's a step in the right direction.
Also, still no word from CoinKing. I'll try additional methods of contact.
BTW I made a payment today with coinpayments, and I noticed it's not one of the supported currencies. Would that not be an idea?
I thought about this a while after you posted.
My first thought was, why not cant hurt right?
But then I thought about it more. What does coin payments really do?
Unless I'm mistaken, they accept their supported alts and convert them so people can make purchases right?
So, all it does is add more automated sell pressure if people use the service.
I suppose the idea is that with added adoption and usability like that it would increase buy pressure from people using the coin... but... let's be real here.. odds are people wont be buying up alts to spend them unless they are getting a heck of a deal.
If you guys think this will do good for the coin we can request it, but those are my initial thoughts. I'll go with what the general consensus seems to be.
On a side note..I'll be trying to contact CoinKing again tonight. So far I've emailed them and tweeted at them. I'll send some more tweets, maybe another email, and see if I can PM them on bitcointalk or something. If you guys can find additional methods of contact it will help.
We'll get our multipool soon enough! Eventually when it's not profitable to mine Swing during low rewards miners will be automatically buying up swing instead of mining.
I think that's the point where things will pick up pace.
