Hi there,
The CEO of kraken.com (payward) is a contact of me. Ive met him several times and discussing (through e-mail atm) adding BC to kraken.com. They are not so fond of adding 'just a new coin' to their exchange and do a thorough security, background and community check.
So, im trying to convince him and his team to at least take a good look at it. Working on that ;-)
If i have some news, i will post it. (also check my twitter @cryptocoinnl )
Are there any tech BC contacts he could be getting in contact with regarding some tech questions if the arise?
Regards,
Why do you bother about adding BC to more and more exchanges when you can trade BC <-> BTC with 0% fees in NXT Asset Exchange as soon as a gateway for BC is implemented?
Devs should take a look on this!
this NXT gateway is announced in december 2013. Still not here. kraken.com also forsees in buying BC with €. That is a large market. Funds sent to kraken.com (just did it last friday) where added within a few hours (SEPA transfer).
Why do you say "december 2013"? where did you read that? AFAIK it will be live in 13 days. Actually, there is a countdown at their website!
On the other hand, a gateway for BC should be implemented to trade BC <-> BTC, but this is not a "heavy work".
Moreover, a fiat gateway is being developed right now, so BC <-> fiat with 0% fees will be not a utopia in several weeks time.
I say that because im investing in NXT starting November 2013. They where talking about that exchange then also. Its been on the roadmap a long time. Its nice that it finally gets somewhere. good news
