you are joking right? cryptopia was hacked and yobit might be the next. cheap exchanges listing isn't worth it, it's better to target for bigger exchange like binance or bittrex.
You are right. Cryptopia - scammers, they stolen some my money on their exchange. And Youbit is shitties exchange with very bad support.
I think they must list ESS to Kucoin. This is good exchange and not very hard to hit there. They have a lot of money (they raised 25 mln on ICO and who knows how many on private sale...) So they have around 50 mln usd! And can pay for listing on good exchanges.
