If each of us throws at least $ 10, then you can collect the necessary amount to be placed on the exchange. While each of us will wait for the first step from others, then the coin will die sooner or later. Collecting donations to the purse of DEV does not inspire confidence in the community (no offense), so there is practically no donate.
Earlier, the fees for placement were conducted by the stock exchanges themselves (Cryptopia as far as I can remember), where people saw how much to pay for the placement. That kind of donations I think would support many of us.
If I remember correctly, Cryptopia is almost $40k for a listing..
Well north of $160K at the moment. It's 5m of their DOT currency to be listed, and the bid is 325 Sat. To buy the whole 5m that are needed, you'd spend on the far side of 16BTC if you could even get filled for that amount. It's beyond insane.
