Mass adoption of a technology is not based on "principle", but market forces.

Regardless, Cryptopia trading pairs of BTC, LTC, DOGE are circa 2015... everyone else is BTC, ETH, XMR, USDT.

Dotcoin(DOT) Coin Swap

Recently there has been a large uptick in coins being affected by 51% attacks, and unfortunately DOT joined this list earlier in the week. We managed to identify and respond to the attack sooner rather than later though the attacker did manage to make an impact on the market. This is the reason DOT has been in maintenance while we tried to determine the best response to the issue.

Due to the amount of hash that can readily and easily be thrown around at small networks these days we had to ask ourselves if it still makes sense for DOT to run on its own network as it is clear to us that we cannot afford secure the network ourselves, and that the demand for DOT is not sufficient enough to attract the amount of distributed computing power required to sufficiently secure the network either.

We've decided to perform a swap of the DOT blockchain to a WAVES asset, the use case of DOT is not based around mining or proof of work so we don't think anything is lost in moving DOT to a token platform. A final block height will be defined to allow for a swap period of approximately 90 days before the cut off of new blocks being included in the swap. The new token will be created and swapped 1:1 with the old chain with the new asset matching the coin count of the old chain up to the cutoff block height.

Cryptopia will also keep a copy of the old blockchain so that old coins prior to the cutoff block height can continue to be swapped. Cryptopia will allow for a full year before the swap process is closed and swaps of coins on the old chain will no longer be accepted.

Cutoff Block: 1,200,000
Total DOT at block 1,200,000: 522,500,000 DOT
New DOT Asset Total: 522,500,000 DOT

If you already have your DOT on Cryptopia then there's nothing further you need to do everything will be swapped automatically, this included all DOT currently in Term Deposits that will remain uninterrupted. If you do not currently have your DOT on Cryptopia and want the swap to happen automatically then you must deposit your DOT to Cryptopia before block 1,200,000. If you fail to swap your DOT before block 1,200,000 you will have to raise a support ticket to get your swap sorted.

Cryptopia has covered the DOT that was lost in the 51% attack from their own DOT reserves, so all users will remain completely unaffected by the attack.

The final date for swapping your DOT will be 2018-07-01.

What cryptopia lacks in volume, it makes up for in principle. The only reason cryptopia handles ETH is because folks were playing confused on ETC transactions.
 
ETC is the real ETH

It's not just indecision on DOT...
Cryptopia is rapidly losing market share and momentum by being very late on Ethereum + ERC20 tokens + ICOs...
A crappy exchange like Liqui in UA has gone from zero to 6x Cryptopia volume in just a few months.

How much is cryptopia listing ? According to their website it is almost 5 BTC in dots ? Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
