This negotiation with the exchanges is confusing me, how are you turning down offers? The exchanges don't need the dev's permission or cooperation to start trading, they only need the wallet. Many coins end up on exchanges as a complete surprise to the devs. Why is Aircoin treated differently?
Technically, no, we can't
stop exchanges from trading AIR. But we can also not support exchanges that we think are engaging in money laundering, are not reputable, may not be around in a month, or we think will crash frequently. And, for you, opening on the first exchange that wants us, versus the best exchange we can get, could mean the difference between .0001 BTC/AIR and .001 BTC/AIR.
So, the obvious answer is this: AIRcoin is the
only currency that's success is contingent on sound economic maintenance resulting in stable growth. Some coins use the code exclusively for this (destructive coins), some coins use media for this, but we are the only one that uses trading according to economic formulas.
But the less obvious, and more accurate answer, is this: Our team, the creators of AIRcoin, are different. We have, in our skills sets, the ability to do things, like create an exchange launch, that is above and beyond the expectations of most coins have. To not use those abilities to help our coin would be a waste of our knowledge. That is what makes AIRcoin different. As long as we have the power to do something unique, innovative, effective, and impressive, even if it means waiting a little bit longer, we're going to do it.
Any update on the block explorer ETA?? Last I read was release in a few days, - that was a few days ago I think.
The block explorer was finished earlier today, however, the developer needs to update it to the new wallet and had some trouble compiling, putting it about 1000 blocks behind (this is why we test things carefully before releasing them immediately!). So it will definitely be finished today, and will likely be finished with in a few hours. This is one of the very few (in fact, the only) thing our development team has had to outsource, so we've had to be patient to make sure it will be done right.
Whats the value of aircoin atm?
Current difficulty pegs miners mining at an opportunity price of 0.000855 BTC/AIR, or $0.487 USD/AIR. This is very, very close to our goal of $0.50 USD/AIR, which is what we hoped to open on an exchange at. This looks like a very realistic possibility.
