Looks like there was a short dip of cheap coins on poloniex.
Monero appears to be a good coin to invest into as being shown by my own purchases of XMR as of late.

What a load of crap that is. Did he actually say that? "Gimme money pl0x, we hire better people"
I think it's more a case of a lot of the 'core' team devs also need to work in order to, you know, feed themselves and pay bills etc. So work on Monero has to fit around that. If they had more donations, they could spend more time focusing on Monero or pay other developers to work on details whilst they coordinate the effort. Unless you think they should just work for free/pay developers out of their own pockets because they owe it to you somehow?
This is what happens with a 'fair launch' where the developer hasn't pre/insta-mined a lot of the coin themselves. The only Monero they will have is from their own mining endeavours and any donations they receive, so they're not sitting on a mountain of coin they can sell fund development.

Only altcoin exchanges we are missing right now is btc38 and cryptsy, we should get monero added to that! Spoke to fluffypony also on IRC and the GUI wallet is taking some time because the lack of funds.. If more funds would be donated they could hire skilled developers to speed up the work.

I still have 100 monero pledged for as soon as they get the database completed. I only have 2 gigs of ram on here and i dont want to deal with trying to run it on the hard drive

BTC38 is a Chinese exchange so what you really need is QQ groups making noise about it.
With capital outfly restrictions I think the chinese would be very interested in this!

Monero is on voting list of btc38: http://www.btc38.com/trade/vote_for_trade_en.html
Interesting thing is that you can vote by donating btc, maybe we can set up a small fund for this? Would do monero and it's liquidity good if it would be added there. BitsharesX volume was in a few million dollars if I recall correct.
The history is that some idiots spent a lot of money to vote to get the coin on Mintpal and it did nothing other than pump the coin absurdly high for a short time followed by a long decline (plus a lot of BTC in Mintpal's pocket).
If there is real demand for trading, and an opportunity to make money from commissions, exchanges will respond to that by listing it. Trying to bribe them to do it before the demand is really there is not a good idea.
You got a good point there, I think they will notice that they can benefit from monero (because of the high trading volume). Maybe a email to them where monero would be elaborated would push them in the right direction
Yes! Much better than giving them BTC
Maybe something some core members can do? My english is not that good and wouldn't want to sent an email full with gramatical errors :p
I don't think it matters how good your english is. What matters is them hearing from more and more people.

I long for the day when exchanges are decentralized through a peer-to-per network.
Can't monero be implemented in the NXT multigateway ?

I have a different way to look at it.
You should never have to vote to get a coin listed and you should certainly never pay. Exchanges will list any coin with merit because they want to make a buck. The pump and dumpers love to vote up coins to unload them. I despise the entire structure because it smacks of corruption from the getgo.
How about turning it around? Exchanges should be paying developers to list coins or paying them a cut of each transaction. I am not a fan of the evil known as exchanges. I long for the day when exchanges are decentralized through a peer-to-per network.

I just don´t see the reason for voting.
We are top 5 volume like daily, every sane business would just add it to get a pie of the volume and earn money with trading fees.

Any conjecture as to the reason for the dumping?
Maybe it has something to do with the coordinated BTC dumps on all the exchanges. People want to short.
BTC is on the downtrend and many alts are getting dragged along with it.

We do need decentralized exchanges, the first guy that come with a legit one will be making history
Yep - peer to peer but the code must be on GIT and people with a lot more intelligence than me must vet the software has no theft mechanism nor ability to inject malicious code into the system.
Now there is an IPO that I would like to get in on.
EDIT: Ideally there would be more than 1 choice to keep a competitive balance.
