Hey guys, I've been leading a big push lately to get Potcoin listed on Cryptsy (

) and I wanted to share a conversation that's on the latest
Let's Talk Bitcoin between the LTB correspondent and Paul Vernon, AKA BigVern, the founder and CEO of Cryptsy.
I wanted to share a few points that he made about the criteria that they use when deciding to list a coin on Cryptsy, especially in light of Potcoin:
We look at who created this coin, are they active, are they going to continue creating this coin?
Was there a huge pre-mine?
How many users are asking for this coin?
It's really about the community. If the community is behind the coin, and it seems like a fair coin, then it'll probably get added.
I like purpose. I like coins with purpose.
But it think branded coins [are a good idea]... especially if there is a product or service attached with that. So, 'we have this coin and we have this service, and you can use this coin with this service', I think that's a great idea. I don't have an example off of the top of my head, but you know it could be anybody.
Potcoin has a great dev-team and an extremely low pre-mine (~20,000 coins).
Users are overwhelmingly asking for this coin?
Over 278 likes and growing!Is the community behind the coin? Absolutely! Just check out this thread and /r/potcoin for the evidence
I really laughed when I heard that purpose is important, but that BigVern couldn't name a branded coin with a specific purpose! Potcoin is about as branded, case-specific, and integrated (and soon to be integrated) into commerce for products and services.
I just thought that everyone should see what Cryptsy is looking for and how many boxes that Potcoin ticks off of their checklist-
This needs to be seen by cryptsy....Best coin for them to add by a mile
