Although I voted, I wouldn't worry too much "losing" to ...coinye.

DRK was a "smash" on c-cex, doing very heavy volumes, and now it's a smash on Cryptsy as well (playing between 4th and 7th position in terms of volume).

Exchanges want good-volume coins, and that's what DRK is. If they don't add it, it's their loss and another's profit. There was some guy from one exchange requiring money to get DRK listed, well, nobody paid him and he still listed it nonetheless. I suspect that's how it's going to go with the voting also - even if a shitcoin gets on top. DRK is consistently in top20 of coinmarketcap, it's doing good volumes, so it's an ideal coin for an exchange to have it and make money from the fees involved. If exchanges want to lose money they should add the shitcoins instead
