I maintain that this focus on getting it listed is a little toxic and rather misguided.
This remains one of the most exciting projects I've seen here, and one with really bright prospects. See for example this analysis I did a while ago:
I feel like people here haven't really considered that the value of this coin has SUBSTANTIALLY
increased over the past week. Intense Coin is now a
gold mine.
Take a step back. Crypto valuations are down more than 10% across the board [1]. This is a troubling time to be in cryptomarkets.
But
why are valuations down? The most important factor is China putting restrictions on cryptocurrencies, and the potential that more will be announced shortly [2].
This is
great news for this coin specifically.
Let's not lose sight of what this coin's ultimate purpose is. This project is an effort to be a
decentralized VPN.
What happens if China announces further restrictions on cryptocurrencies? Will they all drop what they're doing, toe the government line, and forget about cryptos entirely? Of course not! We're all human. When someone tells us we can't do something we find a way around what they said, and do it anyway.
Those in China are going to continue to mine and trade cryptos but now they'll need something to protect themselves from the government finding out. That something?
A VPNJust like this project...
The developers shouldn't focus on getting it listed. The developers should be focusing on building out a credible plan for the core VPN technology. China's announcement turned what would likely have been a middling coin into an unbelievable
gold mine overnight.

[2] There's plenty of discussion of this - even in the mainstream press. See, for example, here:
http://www.marketwatch.com/story/bitcoin-at-crossroads-after-shedding-nearly-20-billion-in-value-2017-09-13We should be far more focused on supporting this as a community and finding ways to bring this project to fruition. This is the kind of coin that could change the world in the way that Bitcoin and Ethereum did.
All that said if people really are so desperate for getting it listed - it looks like SouthXchange can take Cryptonote coins - they did in this case:
https://www.southxchange.com/Market/Book/MSR/BTCHowever it's not a well trafficked exchange and I'm not sure how safe it is. It's something the dev could potentially look into.
But I think it's far better to focus energies on developing the core project and wait for other, more mainstream exchanges, to build out the infrastructure needed to host Cryptonote coins.
