Any word on being added to Poloniex?
Not that I've heard but anyone involved with this project should be talking to the Chinese altcoin exchange btc38.com, I mentioned this in another thread - they have a lot of volume on that exchange for all the coins traded, and I mean a lot. Some of the cheaper coins trade 500k to 1M coins a day on a good day.
From experience in other coins I know they will become major backers of the coins they hold.
I spoke with one of the devs earlier and he said they have someone on it for getting into the china markets
