Message from the bittrex devs
Hi,
We're interested in launching DarkCoin on our exchange this weekend. I'm wondering if you'd be interested in a co-marketing opportunity with us.
I've seen a lot of exchanges collect bounties to offset the cost of launching a new coin and trade pair. We've got pretty high costs given the amount of redundancy we put into our systems but I'd like to propose a different model that would help drive users to our exchange and awareness of DRK.
I'd like you to commit a pool of coins for giveaways. Instead of giving it to us, we'd use it to draw interest in the new trade pair. We'd give a set of coins for certain activities:
1) signing up to the exchange
2) executing a trade
3) tweeting about the new trade pair
Should I setup a wallet and collection donations for this?
EDIT: They have NO volume, nevermind.
All these exchanges who have voting (mintpal, now cryptsy, etc) or who ask for money/coins to add your crypto to their site, they're simply exploiting the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Why would a developer have to pay an exchange who will make money with trades? Cause they created a shitcoin and are desperate for any occasion which will cause a rise in value. Exchanges know there are so many shitcoins so they know they can exploit the weak ones.
Look at Cryptsy as far ago as yesterday. They saw the potential with coin votes from Mintpal and added it. And they're in NO hurry to add the coin, they're milking the competition for all it's worth. From the TOP10 coins in the votes on cryptsy.com/coinvotes they made
35.52 BTC , that's 22 555 $ , 22 thousand dollars for letting retards with worthless coins fight it out. Look at the top 2 for an example of utter garbage coins.
Dark so far has not been pressured into paying anyone for anything, has slowly gained followers and is gaining momentum everyday. We're on almost all the biggest crypto exchanges by merit alone. BTC38 and BTER will come very soon and the timing will coincide with a few more betas and maybe a main release of Darksend.
I'm glad the devs aren't paying their way up top , that would not be true to the real value offered by Darkcoin and they know it. We have a solid foundation and with every step forward, price is rising and recognition is rising as well.
