I was hoping that after posting the announcement on this forum, the number and volume of transactions on this coin will increase, but most likely the stagnation will continue until there is a listing on a well-known exchange. A good exchange is a good coin!
While I think everyone agrees an exchange listing would help the exposure ... Merit is unique in that it's invite only. Large scale exchanges like Binance would require 100,000 + invites on day 1 for withdrawal/deposits and I don't know if the new community/coin is ready for that overnight !
Mmh for withdrawals sure, but to just exchange is probably wouldn't, after all addresses used by exchanges are virtual, they don't have 1:1 real addresses per user. It certainly would require some help from the team tho, but if Merit wants to go anywhere I'm sure they have planned that phase of growth.
We are prepared to work with exchanges. We have several technical approaches we can take to handle the requirements of an exchange. I'm not too concerned about it. I think one reason the announcement didn't drastically increase volume is that it seems most of this forum is occupied by bots and spammers. I'm curious what the ratio is between spammers/bots and real people is. My impression is that it's pretty high.
