Hii !
This is my second blog post for the GSoC 2014 project, port disqus module to drupal 8. We have the module been ported to drupal 8 and yes with a few minor issues still to be fixed.
In Drupal 8, disqus comments thread can be added as a field to any drupal 8 entity (eg. users, nodes, etc). Besides disqus can also be used on disqus blocks provided the the field-data is saved on that entity. So this provides the users a bit more of a flexibility of placing the disqus thread on the page the way he wants.

If you want to use or test the module you can visit the project page on https://www.drupal.org/project/disqus and download the development release. Please do report any bug with the module in the issue queue.

Also I have made a short video demonstrating installation of disqus module on drupal 8, here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0md3e6NwcE

The remaining task for this project is to write migrations for comments data from core commenting system to disqus and vice-versa.
