Do you even read things before you cite them?

I suppose you think you have a better grasp on that than Kraken or DCG/Silbert?
You obviously have a reading comprehension issue.
The FUND ISSUERS are ICONOMI, and ICONOMI did not sell ICN in the US, they sold ICN on their iconomi.net site which is NOT based in the USA.
I don't see any problems with that.
We're talking about what needs to happen before ICN is listed on Poloniex or Bittrex.
There's a lot of hand-waving "Iconomi is foreign so it's ok!" misinformation in this thread. As if there are no practical barriers to listing.
Kraken being in San Francisco, what did they do that Polo and Bittrex didn't?
They're all USA exchanges, and Kraken is fully a compliant KYC exchange, which is probably what Polo(Delaware) and Bittrex(Vegas) is looking at imho... KYC rules.
