We have maintained top voting position for a while, and Jimmy has contacted them to reiterate that we are interested to be listed on their exchange and let them know we would provide all required help necessary for this. They have replied that they do not know when they will add new coins to their portfolio, and they do not know if they will use the suggestions from their own voting board. Essentially we are periodically communicating with them to let them know we are still around, so they keep us on their mind.
We have been trying to build a Chinese audience by maintaining the 8BTC thread, I suspect this is what will influence Bter the most, to see a strong Chinese following. At 8BTC things are slow, but they are progressing; you can see for yourself - I am Von there.
