I'm not saying that it can't but it has a long way to 10K as of now. Your suggestion is logical though about Mintpal even though Bittrex has become a top exchange and has considerably higher daily volume for quite some time now. So Apex is fine even without Mintpal but i agree it would be a nice move for the coin as we all know Mintpal takes adding new coins seriously. The most important thing though is development for every coin and a strong community. Exchanges just follow these 2 factors.
I agree with you 100%. Coin development and a strong community are the two most important things. The devs are dedicated and are in touch with the community 24/7. We have a solid base here, but there is still much more room to built a stronger community. I am dedicated to this coin and I am doing the most I can - including spending my financial and temporal resources. But as you have said - the community is the key - just look at Stealth now - or Cloak before - they have had a strong knit and dedicated community and even know when Cloak is worthless and the devs are gone still a lot of people are supporting it - that's how fanatical they are. I am not saying we need a blind devotion to APEX, but we should form a stronger bond here and each one of us should try to support the devs and the community as a whole. I mean if you are a webdesigner with great skills - give a hand to the devs , and polish the site a bit, make it look more fancy, they are busy enough and are not professional designers. Others can simply spread the word here on BTC talk, reddit, twitter etc. This is what we need - a strong base from which the rest will grow.
As for the 10 K. Would you like to place a bet - whether we will see 10 K before the end of this year (My stance) - or not (Your stance) ?
