I don't think concerned investors are being impatient.  They are just concerned that their money is in safe hands; and concerned that the ICO timetables actually mean something.  It should be noted that good communication is not only important, it's an absolutely necessity if investors are to accept launch delays for reasons of development (it's the reason these projects have marketing/PR people).  Communication is even more vital in the ICOs market compared to institutional venture capital or IPOs with underwriters.  

This is encouraging news and should ease people's concerns (does mine), that is assuming investors are aware of this news.  Without communication, FUD is inevitable when timetables are just ignored or changed.    

I'm sure many investors are hoping its released today.  Most have no reason to believe it won't be (aside from the "after 6/7" update to the launch date of 6/1) .

When it comes to the release delay, I don't think anyone can say very much that will negatively effect their investment (or the future demand for the cyrpto), particularly anything that could effect it anymore than a delay itself would.  I don't see how it could when the Crpyto hasn't even hit the market.

Posts with updates of the project development aren't a waste of time (regardless of whether or not it's in a response to a troll).  

I also don't think minor delays will negatively effect PPY as much after it's actually launched.  

Of course.  This is one of the reasons people did invest.  Without good developers, many ICO's are ignored, especially by this community.  This is also a reason people why there are delays with no updates.  

Sure, development is where it matters most, more so when it's actually launched.   While announcements and press releases regarding the launch date may be easy for you (and other devs) to write off as less-important, it's unrealistic to assume that a large percentage of investors will see it the same way.   Ignoring announcements and updates (esp. when it comes to launch delays) creates the FUD (that you were speaking about) on it's own.  

Myself (and other investors) can appreciate the importance for good development.  I find re-assuring that development is being worked on as diligently as you say it is.   However, you can't ignore that being the first-to-market, meet timetables, and investor confidence an important aspect when it comes to the competition.  You can't ignore that fact that a proper blend/balance between business and tech is needed for something like this to be successful.

I'm also awaiting the release of Peer Plays as an investor (in one of my first couple ICOs).  

I'd like to offer my .02 (for what it's worth), from someone who's been skeptical of ICOs; but also from a fairly early investor in both BitCoin ($110) & Ethereum ($5).....

PeerPlays seemed to have a good plan in place, quality developers committed, and a timeline with specific dates outlines.  So, in that sense, the checks and balances appeared to be there.  

When it comes to all ICOs in general, one of the biggest concerns/risks (if not, THE biggest) is actual launch....
(1) Will it actually take place at all
(2) Will it take place on schedule as promised.  

Of course a 7-day delay is going to raise concerns with investors, especially when the delay wasn't actually announced until the day of the proposed launch.  Limited communication from the creators will also lead to added concerns. 

Others have noted that some launch delays are somewhat "normal".   But, IMO, it's worth noting that ICO's are a fairly new concept in the eyes of many investors, as well as potential investors.  Therefore, I'm not entirely sure it's been fully established as to what's "normal" when it comes to ICOs (successful ones, reputable ones, or otherwise).  The sample size is limited (when it comes to long term success)

In the end, nothing is going to change the fact that when someone invests in an ICO, they entrusting their money with the people initiating the offering; and they're trusting those people to meet their promises.  Most investors would assume that a team of quality developers should be able to accurately forecast (give or take a few days) when a launch will take place (based on many factors)

It's only natural that several delays in the promised launch date, will lead to;
(1) less confidence in the people who initiated that particular offering  
(2) less confidence that their money is in good hands
(3) less confidence in the overall ICO market in the future (due to the lack of recourse investors have if the creators don't follow through).  

As I said, I'm not sure if anyone can confidently state as to what is (or isn't) "normal".  In the end, I truly believe precedents are being set, for better or for worse.  When it comes to Peer Plays, I hope a good one is being set; and that there are no further delays.  

communication could and should be better though

@ Coinhoarder.   I am a newbie.  The fact of the matter is that I'm into this project for twice as much as I intended.  I bought into the ICO near the end of Tier 2 when there was a serious backlog of Bitcoin transactions.  I got FOMO and doubled down hoping my initial buy-in would be refunded during the 12-hour grace period that was to follow the end of crowdfunding.  Instead the deadline was extended and I'm in for twice as much $$ as intended.  

I was attracted to crypto for the transparency and audibility of it.  The alt-coin community seems to embrace it too.  The lack of communication since the end of crowdfunding implies a lack of transparency with this project. I don't think this token release is hours, or even days away.  Since I made my "donations" to this project nothing has gone as stated.  Crowdfunding did not end when, or as promised, there have been two missed delivery dates for the token release and really weak communication through obscure channels during all of it.  

I thought that I had made a profitable error and was amused at first.  I'm no longer amused.  This has been a disappointing initial ICO for me.  I also never used the term "investing" once.  That is not my quote.

If you are the impatient type, then I suggest you join the Telegram channel: https://t.me/Peerplays

The Peerplays blockchain was released last night, and it is producing blocks and running fine.

Only the command line version has been released. They said the GUI should be released soon (probably today), and that they simply had a small bug to fix in it.

@redwbl - For someone that likes to come across as "investing in the ICO", you sure do like to spread a lot of FUD about Peerplays. How does spreading FUD seem like a good idea if you did indeed invest in the ICO? Take a step back and think about how FUD can harm your investment. I think you are most likely a shill, and this post is a waste of my time, but...

On the off chance that you truly are a newbie, which I am doubting, delays in the blockchain space are the norm. You should be happy the Peerplay delay is only a week or so, because some projects delay month to years to eternity. Peerplays has a good team behind it. Making announcements and press releases may not be one of their strengths, but they are good where it matters most (development). The community can carry the torch as far as advertising and PR. It is more important that they focus on development, seeing as though there are a few competing projects.

The problem is not the delay, it's the number of delays and complete lack of communication through any of the available channels.  Announcements go out on some obscure thread on Telegram used by the witnesses.  The ICO website did not communicate the known delay until the end of the day.  Then a "launch window" is announced and passes.   At least they have now wised up enough to give a deadline even they can meet.   After June 7th is not a reasonable release time to tell people.  There will be absolutely no market anticipation of these coins because of this Cluster-F@c&ery. 

Be patient. Witnesses for the PeerPlays blockchain started coming online yesterday. You will get your PPYs.

My guess is you can assume the risk and try to run a node using this:

https://github.com/PBSA/peerplays

As far as redemption - private key should be sufficient to claim.

Today is the 7th - i know peerplays changed it to say 'check back after the 7th'

How do I get my private key?

How is it live but has only BTS accounts and none of the ICO accounts?

Thank you 

I'm still guessing that the BTS walllet password is not enough to access my ICO funds?

I have actually reinvested into this project at a way higher price than first bought in the pre-crowd sale!

Uff relief.

Still no instructions how to withdraw?

Because I know only my PRIVATE key but I don't know my redemption key lol...

The blockchain is live!

https://peerplaysdb.com/ has a list of PPY account holders and has a list of the current witnesses.  If you sort by witnesses, as of this post, you'll notice that Peerplays has produced over 1300 blocks...: )

Fun fact - The first on chain transactions of PPY occurred between witnesses setting up their witness accounts.

Just little more patience

I have a question.  On May 30th the PBSA issues this statement "The time period between Tuesday, June 6, 2017 at 06:00 UTC and Wednesday, June 7 at 06:00 UTC would follow as the next Peerplays blockchain launch window."

The Peerplays website now says "For more information please click here. Check back here after 7 June 2017 for information on how to redeem PPY tokens"   

Last time I checked after June 7th was not between June 6th and June 7th.  So does this mean that Peerplays is going to miss another "launch window"?   Unbelievable!!!

Lowest price was $5 I think per PPT. The later tiers were upwards of $5.25 then 5.50 (from memory)
