I received the following DM from @PoIoniex with regard to adding Yacoin to their exchange.

Quote
The developmental and upkeep cost of a BTC market would be .8 BTC and for both a BTC and a LTC market, it's 1 BTC. Which plan do you want?

Let me know what everyone thinks by sending to 15qUzhfiMzweuVUyoc8rdX7G1sARSTz48A within the next 5 days. If we don't meet either amount by then,  I will return any BTC sent. Any BTC over that level can either remain in the dev fund if you choose or I will return them to you.

Thanks, JB.

Poloniex staff here. This is a scam. Do not send any coins to this address. We do not request bounties for coins to be added to the exchange. You either must be chosen by busoni, or voted in through our voting page (https://poloniex.com/voting).
You likely got this tweet from @poioniex, or "Poloniex" with an uppercase "i". We are working with twitter to shut this user down.

Thanks,

Yep, that is an Uppercase "i". They have a good deal of followers too - damn!  Don't worry that is my BTC address used for the YAC dev fund, so anyone that sent will receive a refund.
