Yes, if at all possible. There has been no response to our request yet to take MNR voting down. I'll try to track them down on this forum and contact them directly.
It is possible this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage Mjollnircoin; The vote count has rapidly increased since we started discussing this and it is obvious that MNR does not have the Volume required to sustain itself at MintPal. Your character profiling may be correct.
But as you know, Exchange platforms can list any coin they like for the Market; Like said before, MintPal should not be interested in a low volume coin as MNR is now.
When MNR does get the Volume, Exchanges will be quick to add it to the Market simply because they do not want to miss a piece of the pie.
We have been accepted to Bittrex through a GiveAway, while true we did buy votes for (the now late) CryptoAltTex we have since not payed for any exchange related service.
I've tried them (Mintpal) and they never respond. I don't think theres much more we can really do except hope that MNR doesn't get on. On a more positive note whilst investigating multipools for another coin I'm into (BRIT) - I've found a potential Multipool which we can get running for not very much cost (assuming people want the coin to go POS only). Will test it out on BRIT and see how it goes. Have lost a lot on coins lately but if I can make some money back in the next few weeks I could use some BTC to give it a try with Mjollnir, maybe? I have no idea how to run a pool so might be a total failure.
