I'd like to see Mastercoin listed on Kraken https://talk.mastercoin.org/index.php?p=/discussion/32/what-exchanges-should-we-ask-for-mastercoin-to-be-listed-share-your-ideas/p1

It's 4th or 5th currency by market cap, depending on the day, so I think it's worth considering. You have smaller coins cap on Kraken already like NMC. http://coinmarketcap.com/

I mentioned this a short while ago in the thread, but we don't have any plans at the present time to add more digital currencies. This doesn't mean we won't do it eventually, we just don't have any plans to at the present time.

Instead of taking this approach, why not just remove the low volume coins that have low market cap and replace them with higher market cap coins. Perhaps set a market cap threshold as entry requirement. You have for eg weird pairs like XVN/XRP with close to zero volume. Perhaps have first top 10 coins http://coinmarketcap.com/ added/removed on periodic basis.

I'd also change the coin pair interface if I were you to make it look less messy. Perhaps only list 4-5 top highest volume pairs and hide the others behind a "show other pairs" button.
