(But don't worry, according to them they at least removed the scam code embedded in the software that they admitted gave the developers a deliberate and unfair advantage after other people had to point it out to them - nice to know).
Who pointed it out? As far as I know, NoodleDoodle found it and fixed it.
I think that's the real reason why no one on the dev team is pushing for new exchanges
This is untrue. We've been in touch with pretty much every exchange, and have offered to help any exchange integrate. We get three answers:
1. We're working on it
2. We're not adding new coins
3. Monero isn't big enough
There is no "reason no one on the dev team is pushing for new exchanges" because that just isn't true.
fake exchange
Do you some sort of have evidence Poloniex is a "fake exchange" or are you just making a baseless attack on a reputable crypto exchange business (who for example paid back 100% of their users after a hack last year) without any evidence.
It's my subjective opinion Smooth - the first text in my post is "Just my opinion but..." - one doesn't need to prove an opinion, and one shouldn't present opinions as facts as you do in nearly every post you make.
"There is no "reason no one on the dev team is pushing for new exchanges" because that just isn't true." - that is your opinion. In my opinion, that is false.
I don't accept the reasons you give why exchanges haven't added it either. I am guessing it's more like they don't want to mess around with users losing payments because they are 'too stupid' to have to deal with sending PaymentIDs and the exchanges don't want the support overhead. Or have to run a dedicated server to host the blockchain in RAM.
But I guess the obvious point is with your wallet being in such a horrid state and with so many basic issues, and after 1 year none of this was fixed and instead the Devs are going around trying to mask subjective accusations as provable facts that the rest of crypto should agree with your interpretation of how your competitor are all scams, it looks like a scam - again, my subjective opinion.
