PURA has submitted applications over the past 6 months to over 50 exchanges worldwide. As the rankings and volume for exchanges changes daily we thought it best to contact as many as possible that fit our criteria knowing that it would take a while to get the listings. The application process is tedious, requires a good deal of patience, and sometimes mafia like in the requests that are made for both listing fees and PURA in exchange for the listing. We are a coin for the people and by no means feel that it is necessary to dilute PURA from governance in order to fill the pockets of exchanges that do nothing other than duplicate a service that is already available to our loyal users. As an example, a recent request from a small Asian based exchange (sub 50 in worldwide volume) asked for a 35 BTC fee for a code audit prior to acceptance, 20 BTC per pair (ie. BTC, ETH, etc) and a 50 BTC listing fee. We respectfully declined their offer…

That you all for your eternal patience and loyalty.
