Now I don't mean when a coin hits mintpal, but before.
So how do you buy coins before they hit exchanges?
He meant before it's on Mintpal - i.e. when it's on Bittrex only
^^This. Exchanges are now quick to add. I forgot this. It used to be, you'd trade off a spreadsheet or field open offers in here. Wasn't too long ago, but somethings do change quickly.
