Just a quick update -

We've had a lot of people asking when we'll be on an exchange. Our main focus initially is to build a solid foundation, and I believe we're almost there. All exchanges that have claimed to have add raven dark have done so of their own volition. We did not ask for that. We thank them for considering our project but ask that everyone not hold it against us. We're aware that low or zero volume exchanges don't look good, and again, we did not ask to be added to those exchanges. The only approved "exchange" method is using https://escrow.mnrank.com/ to mitigate the trust issue with 3rd party escrow (no offense to our great and trustworthy escrow people:) ).

Raven Dark is a fully grass roots project. As such, we do not have any financial backers and are not beholden to anyone. In the coming weeks we'll be releasing a white paper and road map. After that (and only after that) we will start to look at getting listed on some (at least somewhat) reputable exchanges. This will depend on what is required by those exchanges to be listed. Some of you may not know that the exchange sector is mostly "pay to play" and they typically require 3-10 BTC to start the listing process. While I think that this is mostly to help offset costs and to thwart pump and dump schemes, it's definitely a hurdle for grass roots projects. Some exchanges are realizing that this is not quite fair and have an application process for situations like ours.

While I'd like to avoid asking for funding, if you would like to help out we do accept donations of BTC at the following address: 1L1Qnk749D1zbRkWFTdoi3884zUqF2Ddnh. If you'd like to donate in some other currency, either reply here with that currency and I'll get an address or hit me up on the discord.

Thank you for your support!

100% agree with you. Build the foundation of the project first (the need for it to be exchangeable) then look for exchanges like cryptobridge, they are a decentralized exchange with solid background and not crazy fee's (neither min volume demands like some other exchanges) Good luck
