Bittrex decides on their self if they list a coin or not. There is no listing fee to get a coin listed there. You can suggest them one to take a closer look but it is up to them if they list it on their exchange or not. The most important thing to get listed on Bittrex is that the coin must have a certain purpose.

I don't know what they would think of ELIX but it has much better chances than other coins. The lending service gives the token a true functionality, therefore I hope it gets finally released. But the lending service alone probably will not help to get the attention of the masses.

A better/tuned/face lifted website and a nice tutorial for the lending service are essential to attract new investors/people who are willing to mine ELIX tokens with the new service.

Also a roadmap should be available at the website to give investors an overview in what they are going to invest, otherwise they won't and search for another project.

once more regarding this Bittrex thing: Forget Bittrex for a long time. The more realistic scenario is that ELIX will never be listed on Bittrex. To get listed on Bittrex you have had preformed great on other exchanges, otherwise they won't even take a more precise look at a project. We have at least be on Liqui.io or another exchange with true volume.

What are the other exchange options that we have by now, realistic once? How about HitBTC? Do they have same strict restrictions like Bittrex has?
