You think a big exchange is not necessary at this point because you don't want to sell. Other people do. Others should have that option.
One can argue if putting it on an exchange adds anything to any of the coins on the market. Besides, you can get rid of the people who doesn't believe int he project to the people who does.
If you and all of others that are spamming this thread asking about exchanges would simply just request that the exchanges themselves add wgr...it would be far more effective and a better use of your time/effort. The team has been speaking with exchanges and the extra requests from the rest of us would help lend more weight to the team's proposal to these exchanges.
The team is obviously well aware already of what it would mean to get on other, larger exchanges. However with that said, it's not easy and it's not just something you can do with a flick of a switch. Using certain other ICOs as examples is sometimes like comparing apples to oranges, since Wagerr wasn't operated like many of these other ICOs and its end product will most certainly be highly contentious and will push many legal/regulatory boundaries. For this reason alone in particular, many exchanges will be (and probably already are) hesitant to just add wagerr to their system for free.
And then there's the whole issue of the increasingly pay-to-play nature of exchanges. I myself find it pretty funny that some of these exchanges act like gambling is totally immoral, yet engage in very scummy practices themselves when they try to take advantage of dev teams and their investors. This hidden cost eventually gets cycled back to users of these exchanges, so pretty much everyone shares a cost in paying up this dirty money.
Wagerr is decentralized betting, Waves is a decentralized exchange. It just makes sense really. Any wagerr investor can trade their wgr for bitcoin right now, and for a trade fee that is far lower than pretty much anywhere else. This is definitely a workable solution for wagerr, at least until other exchanges see the value in adding wagerr. Even if volume isn't to your liking, why not put up a buy/sell order to get what you can/want anyway? If all of those asking about an exchange did this, you can be sure volume would go way up...unless they are all minnows or goldfish
There's a chance right now to turn a bunch of negativity into some positive (and real) results. It's up to the majority of you to decide if the herd goes that route or not. I'm not too worried myself either way in the short-term since it's win/win, one way I get to keep buying cheap wgr and the other way I get to see wgr go up. I just figured I'd throw this out there to help some others begin to understand the bigger picture. I don't claim to know it all myself or anything, I just see an opportunity to score a win for the community as a whole...no matter which side you're on in the whole exchange issue.
Even for those who didn't/couldn't invest or buy when it goes live, I'll personally be pushing for ways for the average user to get small amounts of wagerr for free on a regular basis...probably from fun betting challenges and such using wagerr. A good example of this would be march madness brackets.
