XCP is not another altcoin. The key is to improve the Dex. Without a working reliable DEX, put it on more exchanges is just a pump and dump. It may make the early investors rich quickly, but never a real success. For those who have tens of thousands of XCP, I don't think you can liquidate all you holding by just pump and dump. A real DEX is a must.

I agree, its too early to list on a bunch of centralized exchanges, and that's really not the goal of the project anyways.

totally agree!

Agreed as well. The DEX is the be-all-end-all of Counterparty. Without it, we're just another alt coin.

That being said, we also need to attract attention to the protocol. History is replete with examples of great innovations that have fallen into the dustbin because they failed to gain a critical mass. I think we need to balance the two sides of the publicity coin...slow so as not to outpace development but somewhat fast so as to gain enough attention to keep the project in people's minds.

I disagree with people saying we shouldn't be pushing to get XCP on more exchanges. This marketing aspect is an easy goal for people to work on who aren't tech saavy enough to help improve the DEX, or make web wallets, or a gui.

The more exchanges we get XCP on, the larger the Counterparty community will grow, the more asset issuers will be attracted to Counterparty.

Which exchange would be best to petition next? Cryptsy, coinedup, bter?

Hey DaFockBro, your ambition and enthusiasm to help make the Counterparty project into a big success is awesome, but I think the consensus of the community is to take a measured approach to signing on new exchanges so that hype doesn't outstrip progress.

Rather than going after exchanges, here are some of the other areas where community help would be meaningful:
   - explaining the amazing progress the Counterparty team is making in some of the forums with large communities of crypto enthusiasts
   - gathering up the highest quality content from this forum to help Phantom, xnova, and cityglut improve the FAQ
   - designing a biz model for a company that could do betting, asset issuance, etc.
