As many of you have noticed, Cryptsy has joined the ranks of other exchanges and now allows paid voting to determine which coins will be added to their site.
EBT is taking a stand against this ridiculous form of bribery and has made a formal request to be removed from the Cryptsy voting page and we encourage others to do the same.
We have made the decision based on our personal ethics and what we think is healthy for the coin and the altcoin community. We believe there should be specific, publicized criteria in order to have a coin listed, it should not simply be a decision based on who can spend the most BTC or spam the forums asking for votes. Coins should be added to exchanges based on the same community demand and hard work the coins prior have shown in order to EARN a spot on a major market. We would hope that the other devs that feel this way will also take a stand to stop the manipulation of pump and dump coins.
If you'd like to show your support and encourage Cryptsy, mintpal and other exchanges to abandon paid voting please show your support below, contact site support teams, or give a RT: https://twitter.com/EBTcoin/status/442024032284573696
Update: As of 3/8 there is no longer a BTC address to buy votes on Cryptsy!!! (I am still trying to get mintpal to acknowledge my request)
Update: As of 3/10 there is no longer a BTC address to buy votes on MintPal!!!
