I just want to again caution about the push for exchanges (everyone already knows I'd prefer if we weren't pursuing them right now). Just keep in mind that there are still many parts of the project that are in flux and we don't have a solid whitepaper at this time. We already took a risk by releasing the Lite Wallet w/o the compute functionality...so we need to make sure that whatever is being put out to the public is professional, accurate, and complete. I just have a feeling that we are rushing to the exchanges and new people looking at Elastic may see these gaps in the project and get a negative impression that stick with them and possibly spread to others.
Coralreefer's right, we're not at the point we should be at for releasing on an exchange.We need to finalise the new white paper, get out some articles in the press (which can take several weeks), fully populate the website with articles and make sure that the community understands the functionality of Elastic, in order to give out a consistent message about what
exactly Elastic is.
If people go off half-cocked, giving out inconsistant messages about what Elastic is, then that could only damage our reputation.
We're not in a mad rush. We have OTC trading, so those that want to convert some of their XEL into BTC can do so.
Let's play this smart and do it right.
edit: we're working on the updated white paper now and it should be ready in the next few days.
