When is Blitzcoin due to launch?

Thankyou very much

the question is if the coins are new how are you meant to exchange them, will the new coins be on any exchange or you have to hold them on the luck that it will end up in an excahnge and then hope it is even worth trading at that time?

Cryptorush is currently having issues with accounting balances because of their handling of staked coins for BlackCoin, and they are being DDOS'd on top of that.

It would be wise to take a cautious approach and withdraw funds from Cryptorush until they can sort out their issues. That's what I did personally -- I was getting errors on bitcoin withdrawals on Cryptorush, so I bought AUR and then was able to transfer that to Cryptsy and sell it there.

@gtraah We typically mine coins that are on exchanges, although they are typically newer ones - not the big names like Cryptsy, Bter, etc. Occasionally we will mine a coin at launch, or one that is not listed yet on an exchange, but that isn't especially common.

Is Germany coin on any exchange apart from Cryptorush (as they are obviously having issues at the moment).

You guys rock.

Here's a question for everyone -- what do you think is a reasonable timeframe to require people to withdraw funds after we decide to cease mining a coin and announce its pending removal from ipoMiner? Flound and I consider two weeks to be a reasonable time, and initial discussions with our miners on IRC seemed to agree with that, but we are open to hearing other input before making a final decision.

For background, there are a few reasons behind this: 1) We want to actively discourage people from storing coins on ipoMiner, to the extent possible. It is much better for everyone if you maintain control of your coins, and it helps make us less of a high profile target. 2) Running a constantly growing number of coin daemons in perpetuity requires significant effort to keep them up to date, along with memory and disk space.

2 weeks sounds good.

Although, if you are going to implement an auto sell option, you could give the 2 weeks notice, then autosell all remaining coins and credit the balance to relevant accounts.

But you still can implement auto selling for the coins that is possible.

My only concern is that because I don't want to download more and more wallets, and I don't trust most of the exchanges either, I probably will be selling earlier rather than later. Hmmmm. I understand you guys have overhead with all of the daemons though.
