Hello there, do you know if qtum is going to hit any exchange like bitfinex - kraken - poloniex - bittrex, ecc?

Our Main Network hasn't been released yet, and exchanges rely mostly on community requests to list a project. Poloniex told us earlier this year that they simply do not host crowdsales anymore, but they will keep an eye on our project.

With the release of our ERC20 token, participants can now take possession of their Qtum. If they would like to leave them on the exchange, in September, their IOU's will be converted to Main Network tokens.

This ERC20 token gives our participants the ability to withdraw their Qtum from existing exchanges. We realized that people wanted control of their tokens, so this was addressed. The ability for other exchanges to list the project is an added bonus, but we are not actively pursuing any. Two exchanges have shown interest, but there's guarantee this may happen.

Why wouldn't you actively pursue for the western exchanges to list your coin? It doesn't make any sense - it would bring value and liquidity. Will you actively pursue your coin being listed following release of the mainnet in September?   

Exchanges are much more hesitant to list an IOU / ICO that hasn't released a main net yet. Once that happens you can bet that the QTUM team will do what they need to do to maximize value but right now there's no point in rushing the process. Better to have a viable / working product than it is to be arbitrarily listed on an exchange.
