Doesn't matter much to me, outside of seeing what happens.
But, why should WAVES be any different than the coins that came before it? If you are planning to go public on the 14th and it takes time to set up the nodes, give it to the exchanges the day before or with enough lead up time. Seems like just a legal agreement, no big deal.

Haha dude, several exchanges isn't my perception of sad

More exchanges meaning more volume meaning more momentum.

Btw - signature bountys out yet? Still missing.

I think all the bounties were allready sent ...

Better have everything top-notch and ready than half ready with all the problems when depositing withdrawing from exchange.

There is nothing sad. Thats nice news! How much coins before been launched that devs just didnt care how it will be, hurrying and launched them to the exchanges then problems occured? A lot.. .Its just a pleasure to see professional Team with serious people, trying to test everything before launch, make hard work for their project and launch only when they are 100% sure that everything what need to be done is done and make a nice beauteaful launch with everything working smoothly. It means very much and that devs care respecting community and investors. Very professional work being done on Waves. Been involved in crypto for 3 years and I know what im talking about. Im more sure than ever before, this gonna be big success!

Guess not all. Still no bounty income for signature. How to proceed? Contacted @Sasha35625 two weeks ago and @WavesSignature yesterday, but no response.

Anyone else having this delay?

here we go with the bounties again...

Just relax guys and gals... Not everyone has received their bounties yet. I don't think the devs are prioritising bounties over the exchanges, account problems, address generation issues and whatnot. In due time we will get our bounties paid out. I too am missing some bounties but I am positive that the devs are working very hard to get everything ready for launch.

There has been a lite client available for a few days now, have you tried it?
