What is the point of any statistic stat if you allow people to simply invent their own statistics by running their own exchange on their own coins...
The entire cryptocurrency market is so small, it could all be considered as "one exchange" right now given the tiny amount of trading thats needed to shift the price.
I've bought stuff on Cryptsy and even on BTC-e when there's been low volume and later looked back at the graph and seen the blip where I bought.
ok - it would be nice if NxT were on more exchanges. I don't think you'd see much complaining from the NxT people at that prospect. But it doesn't change the fact that the coin is being freely traded on the one exchange where it's currently available. It's still relatively cheap. I don't see any signs of irregularity - you can pick up quite significant portions of the total coins base for relatively low amounts of BTC given whats on offer in terms of 2nd generation functionality from the coin.
There are also plenty of coins which are only available on Cryptsy or only available on Coins-e. That isn't a reason to distort a statistic which should be a straight product of quantity and price. People are buying the coin. That means it has a value. It's not the job of the market cap statistic to "interpret" and censor that value. It's its job to report it and nothing more. Traders have a responsibility to furnish themselves with a range of statistics and background about a coin before making an investment. Market cap is just a tiny part of the data that make up that full picture.
If there's any reason that NxT shouldn't be on there it's that the coin is still in alpha development stage and not even properly launched yet. Apart from that it's just another coin with its associated advantages and pitfalls and should be listed correctly - free of colour coding or any other "censoring or spin"- along with all the others.
