The next steps are to get on Bittrex.

I've had PMs from several members in the last few weeks saying that they're willing to donate BTC towards buying our way onto Bittrex. So I've been mulling this over, and it might be time to proceed with this, as it's not fair that Yobit is dropping the ball like this. We're trying to think of the best way to move forward for this plan to succeed, I'm going to make contact with Bill or Richie in the coming days to figure out the exact cost a BLRY community member tells me it's 2 BTC, although their Helpdesk FAQ says 3 BTC), if they're even interested, how soon it could be done. I'll keep you guys posted.

Has anyone tried contacting the Yobit admin staff to resolve this by the way?

Fear not community, we're going to have a much better alternative to Yobit very soon.
