How about paying ppl small amounts of MAST for mintpal votes, worked pretty good for pinkcoin.
Mintpal are removing voting in a few weeks. I don't think we would get voted on in time. Its probably not the progression we would want anyway, we would want to be added from volume and value. Make MP want to add MAST
Getting onto Mintpal is not going to do anything for the coin at this point - Bittrex has plenty of volume, more than Mintpal does today in fact. And, you still need a community of active participants who are interested in gaining small amounts of MAST for their votes, in order for that to work - which we don't seem to have.
