What kind of bounty you think it would take? There's 3000 QBC for the Wallet and it has no traction at all... What kind of bounty would Busoni require? 10, 100, 1000$?
Actually I have no idea. I just remember seeing a new coin with an exchange bounty listed, and stating it was claimed by poloniex. I'm also not sure how the dev can word it so that only a decent sized exchange accepts it. Usually the bounties are for any exchanges, and the dinky ones probably can be gotten on for free.
It's weird that Busoni hasn't returned the devs emails. I mean, if you look at the coins accepted, it's not like they all need to be earthshattering great coins with super high volume. They just took that asiacoin and colbert coin, for instance.
And I mean a btc bounty. IPO money could be used instead of QBC.
