just to be listed on exchange gives few month price pump and not a lot more. when exchange delist, you may lose much more. Development, marketing, roadmap, vision, community are key
You are right, development and community are the most important! Concerning Bittrex, they have been a reliable partner for years and during the last months, the volume in USD has been rising steadily for BYC. So I think there is no risk of being delisted. As for development, I dont know the exact release date, but Christopher confirmed that he is working both on the new service for Avanquest and a new wallet version making it easier for the general public to mine. These new services are going to make Bytecent mainstream! For example, also the Bytecent wallet we are using right now, is one of the most beautifully designed and easy to use I have ever seen in crypto.
As Christopher is taking care of the development part, we as supporters should try to build up an active community and make Bytecent mainstream.
