I'm on dedicatedpool but still cant connect. Anyone else with the same issue?
No launch yet. Everyone is waiting in the dev to release the wallets. The countdown in the OP says it could be another 3 hours?
The launch date for Rubycoin is February 24th at 3PM EST. Extensive testing is being done over the course of the week and weekend to ensure a smooth launch -- http://itsalmo.st/#rubycoinlaunch
