mintpal and some of the other suggested places are sort of bum exchanges.. all the cheap crap is there.
why not just go full bore and pay to have it put on btc-e.com
if you were going to invest in building/make something wouldnt you rather do it right the first time?
I have heard some bad things about btc-e. To be honest I don't see why everyone is wanted to push for another exchange so fast. The major exchanges used just turn coins into pump and dumps and eventually just kill them. I have been using Atomic-Trade for the last few days and I love this trading site. Everything is fast the layout is neat and I can buy or cash out in Fiat. Yes you have to be verified or fiat but thats only so they can comply with U.S laws on exchanges. I can see this exchange over taking the major ones in a couple of months time (if not sooner). So why in the world does everyone want this coin on cryptsy so fast? Do you not realize that this will just drive the price to 1 satoshi?? Until the market is up and running I would not worry about any other exchanges unless you just want to pump and dump this coin (which will kill the value before the market opens).
