... maybe we should open tickets on Cryptopia and ask them, - when they will add Gapcoin (already paid for it!) ?
At first glance, Cryptopia looks like an excellent exchange. They offer a lot of services and are aggressive about starting new projects. But the idea of paying to get a coin listed is a little messed up. BTC38 for example also has 'paid voting', but specifies that they do not profit from the paid voting
http://www.btc38.com/trade/vote_for_trade_en.html , in other words their incentive is to list actual quality coins.
I want to buy some gapcoin, I have very little and do not mine, so if it gets listed on Cryptopia I'll buy there, but people should be looking for a better option, either a less whorish exchange or some other way to trade.
If a person wants to try and make a market in gapcoin by listing buy/sell orders with a spread that allows them to make a fair profit, I will buy some to start, and if their project looks reasonable I'll try to support it. [I plan to make some way to list gap offers but I am not able to do this as a longterm project and would rather somebody more capable did it.]
There is free voting, paid voting is for people who don't want to wait or risk losing to a more popular coin, calling the exchange whorish for that is retarded and a good way to get ignored.
We will gladly refund all votes if we are too whoreish for you precious coin.
Hey, man, why you so angry?
First of all, - Gapcoin
is not a my coin.
Secondly, - paid voting is a Cryptopia's feature, it's not a my whim!
And the most important thing - if you are an official representative of Cryptopia exchange - tell us, what's the problem with Gapcoin listing?
If you have any problems/difficulties with wallet compiling/syncing - I'll help with great pleasure!
He was mad at me for disrespecting his exchange. ~I don't want to interfere in getting the coin listed. ~
In my opinion there are not a lot of very high quality coins, like gapcoin, no premine nor ico, honest development, useful algorithm that contributes to science etc, and in my opinion, only my opinion, it is better to avoid things that are normally associated with lower quality coins, e.g., pump campaigns, paying for listings, etc. Gapcoin has a clean history, is a good coin, will eventually do well whether or not one exchange or another wants to list it.
Some exchanges offer listings entirely in exchange for money, and lend themselves to blatant scamcoins. A person creates an absurd coin with a massive premine/ico/whatever, pays to list then unloads a bunch and disappears. The fact that Cryptopia offered a discount on listing coins from Cryptsy means maybe they are trying to focus on quality coins. I don't know. I don't think gapcoin should pay to be listed but
it is not my coin and many people do not agree with my opinion.
add
I should not have used the word whorish. A number of exchanges will promote lesser quality coins in exchange for money and it may be a business model that will work out for them, who knows.
