I am a bit confused. Why the dev's would care about the tokens being traded on POLO or REX? The gathered 10m $ which they can use are still in their possession.
If the price of ICN pups or dumps they would still have 10 m $ to work and do what they have promised to do. The difference would be for the token owners which could gain profits from trading. If the big wales are not interested in trading ... they can just not trade. No harm done. If the value of the ICN goes to the moon everyone is happy, dev's have the same 10m $ + a nice profit from their 15 m ICNs owned. If the value goes to 10 satoshies ... the dev's still have those 10 m $, the big wales do not care as they invested long term, dividends and so on ... and for the rest ... well ... is a free market. I doubt anyone will blame the dev's that they added the token to POLO and because of that the value went to 100 sats. The dev's would be blame if they do not deliver the fund, platform and dividends ... As long as they deliver what is written in the white paper no normal investor would blame the dev's.
So for god sake ... if they afforded to pay some Russian translation 50 BTC ... why is so hard to pay 3 BTC to Bittrex ? I am sure is not about the money. So what is the real problem ? Regarding Polo I am not sure they can really push it there .... really don't know how coins gets added there, but there are so many shitcoins even at less that 5 sat / coin, with less than 1 BTC volume per day in trading. So what am I missing?
I cannot believe they would "loose" more than a day to "negotiate" anything related to this topic with the exchanges, is not like they have to technically teach the exchanges how to implement the adding of ICN (its not the first ethereum based token added on these exchanges) ... so that BS with "focusing on the important things" is just that ... BS. So what is the real reason ? Liqui added the token without a problem, why POLO does not do this ? they have a lot of coins low in value and in volume ... so no real reason not to list it by their own wish. Did the dev's made an arrangement with them not to add it yet (of course is a speculation, as they seems to have an NDA with these exchanges, so I do not expect they to come up with an explanation)? We are not all retards, some of us have a brain and like to think and judge ... so if no better explanation can be provided ... I can go with dev's actively asking these exchanges not to list ICN (probably to keep the price down, bellow ICO, so they can buy some more cheap tokens). The problem then is that this is no longer a free market, it would be a manipulated market. As other said ... they woudn't have raised 10 m $ if they would've said actively that they do not intend to list the token on Polo and Rex.
I still believe in this project, I haven't sold any of my tokens, but I am not happy about these games that I do not understand. And I don't think I am stupid and that is the reason why I don't understand.
So, some smarter people around here have some better explanations ?
I don't know if the devs can prevent polo from listing ICN.
If that's true, the only logical explaination is that polo see some legal or regulatory issue with ICN.
That also doesn't make much sense, because kraken listed it immediately after token distribution, and kraken are not less regulated than polo, and even more selective about what gets listed.
The other option is that polo don't see value in adding ICN - i think we can dismiss that one pretty safely.
So it is either some kind of no-go from devs to polo or something else that we are not aware of.
I really can't see any other option
