I wonder whether the following is possible?
Maybe instead of waiting multiple week's, a batch 3 & 4 token buyer could also purchase the amount of needed tokens from etherdelta.com in order to mine.
Assuming:
1. the supply of tokens on the etherdelta must come from batch 1 & 2, because no other tokens seem to be issued
2. Pods for first & second batch holders are running (which they currently are not)
3. token holders can always mine (this is what GW said mutiple times)
The batch 3 & 4 token buyer would then double his spending on tokens but wouldn't need to wait so long. He should actually then be able to mine in the pods for the first and second batch token holders. And once the batch 3 & 4 tokens are issued he then can sell his excess tokens back to etherdelta.
I am a first batch token holder waiting to mine, so I do not know whether this works or not and I did not ask GW.
Maybe my thinking is flawed therefore any comments are appreciated.
Hitbtc.com also offer WTT tokens. They are futures. That means the exchange (or special partners) have also bought WTT by GigaWatt and already put them for trade. If you buy them the tokens can not be withdrawn untill the real tokens are issued by GigaWatt. I think this is also the case by Etherdelta i think. Also its not clear by witch batch release the tokens will be avaible for withdrawel.
