All you guys are echoing my own thoughts, being voted onto MP is certain death, so far for any coin. I don't know if it would kill ZS or not but watching volume on bittrex drop from 32-40 BTC on the front page to 16 BTC today (was much lower yesterday) right after it was known we were not the next to go on MP.
It indicates that volume was generated by being listed on MP in anticipation of dump.
I would argue that the vast majority of "top of the list" MintPal listings are far and away inferior compared to what Zimstake brings to the table. Many "top of the list" coins being simple free giveaway coins with zero dev development or anything binding the community other than everyone got a truckload of free coins, this of course helps the coin bolster its MP voting with so many ppl getting something for nothing and voting so they can dump but hurts in the long run as no one really associates any true value to the coin e.g., COMM, ITC, MYC.
I am hopeful with Zimstake, like I am with Pinkcoin, that a bigger stage will not make these two coins shrink into the shadows but allow them to shine in the spotlight and appreciate in price and popularity within the crypto community.
