Hi everyone,

I also wanted to apologize for the miscommunication.  As mentioned, we usually launch markets in the evening because we're busy heading to the office andor answering support tickets in the morning.  I didn't catch the mistake until I was asked about the launch an hour ago.

Hi,

OMC is scheduled for delisting from Bittrex because the volume is low and the blockchain has not been generating blocks regularly.  If you'd like to keep the coin on Bittrex, please contact us at support@bittrex.com.

Hi,

Is there still a dev for the coin?  If so, please email support@bittrex.com and let us know what's going on with the coin. We'd like to keep it listed if there is still active development.

Thanks,
Bill

Hi,

We will be delisting XTP from Bittrex.  I've posted this article https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/204544954 to answer any questions you might have about the situation.

Hi,

there is some confusion as to what happened with this tick so I'll explain.  The BTC volume in the tick is an approximation that takes the average of the opening and closing price of the tick and multiplies it by the amount of XQN that was sold  The XQN volume of the tick is accurate but because of the wild price change of the tick, the BTC volume was horribly skewed. 

50,533.33 XQN were sold in that tick and the avg price was (1 + .00009999)/2 ~= 0.5 BTC.  If you multiply that together, you see why the chart thinks the BTC was 25000 BTC volume in that tick.

Sorry for the confusion.  We'll be fixing this in a future update to the site.

I think the METH analogy isn't quite accurate in this case.  Gimp is a derogatory term for a disabled person.  While we like joke coins and freedom of speech, this could be considered derogatory and we've decided to draw the line on it.  

In regards to METH, this was a personal favor I asked from the other members of Bittrex to not list.  I've personally had friends go through terrible struggles due to the drug and decided to not have it listed even as a joke.  

I apologize if our standards seem arbitrary.  Our stance is to reject very few coins from our exchange.  Most coins don't make it because we don't have time to list them all.  In the few cases we've recently chosen to not list, it came down to a few areas.  1) potential unlicensed securities 2) coins whose purpose are to redeem drugs that are considered illegal in the united states 3) and in this most recent example, derogatory terms.  

IANAL so please don't construe this as legal advice. 

As many of you are aware, there has been increased scrutiny by the SEC around unregistered securities. After working with our legal counsel, this was one of the areas they raised as a red flag so we changed our policies around coin launches. The change to CHASH was requested directly by Bittrex to protect the coin and ourselves.

Developers are encouraged to discuss the legality of their coin with their own counsel.  If you have specific questions about our policy, please email me directly bill@bittrex.com.

Congratulations to the SWIFT developers and community.

Dime has been pinned at 1 litoshi and I think that prevents trading of it.  What do you guys think about us moving it to a BC-DIME market?

We used to have TES but no one traded it on Bittrex.  TEK is interesting and we'll consider it in the future.

The tweet was very specific about UNO, ADN, and DGB.  

I'm curious about a couple of things.  
1) Senior members of BCT are some of the elder statesmen of the alt-coin community.  Are respected members of BCT willing to put their reputations on the line for coin devs?  
2) Does that impact the market?  

This becomes as serious as you want it to be.    

I appreciate your feedback.  I think you can go back through the long history of this thread and our actual cut list to see that our policy creates a candidate list of coins to remove and we take in community comments and concerns before actually removing a coin.  You'd be surprised at how few coins we actually remove that meet the criteria we set out.  No deletion is ever automatic but we've found that the 0.1 BTC volume is a good starting guide.

Every coin we add gets 2 weeks on the exchange regardless of volume.  Anyone who pays for a sponsor ad gets a guaranteed 30 days on the exchange regardless of volume. 

There's a pretty big point people miss when they criticize us adding so many coins to Bittrex.  I don't know of any system to determine if a coin will succeed or fail before we put it on the exchange.  If I did, I'd day trade instead of work on our exchange.

The first 2 parts of the statement are about community demand and innovation.  When we see a lot of requests for a coin in my bct inbox, twitter, and support alias that is usually a signal that people want to trade it.  Who am I to judge what people want to trade?  

We also try to take chances on new business models and algorithms.  We had coins like URO, CLOAK, RZR, NAUT, etc. etc. long before any other exchange did.  We didn't know if they would be successful, but they were interesting enough to get added and let the market decide.  And for every one of those interesting coins that succeed, there are a number of coins that don't.  

The last bit about contributions to humanity is an extremely tricky one.  Almost every "donation" based coin we've been asked to add has turned out to be a scam.  We prefer coins that directly use hash power towards scientific efforts like CURE coin.  And before you suggest GridCoin, yes we are looking at it.  And No, it isn't being added until we get more clarification from the dev team.

Right now, we're looking for 0.1 BTC of daily volume averaged across a 7 day period.  That doesn't cover the cost of each market, but it is enough to show us there is interest in the coin.  We also throw bad blockchains or coins abandoned by devs into the list of coins we remove.

I've spoken to the MazaCoin dev for quite awhile.  Very solid developer.  Our warnings are meant to be friendly reminders right now. Unless there is a date associated with the notification, we aren't going to pull the market. 

For the time being, Solar Coin is safe.  We reserve 20-30 markets for long term projects and hope that Solar Coin will succeed given more time to grow.

We periodically shutdown the JPC wallet because of maintenance.  It unfortunately needs more than most.  When its down for short maintenance like a wallet restart, we may not post the reason why its down. 

If there is a problem with the wallet which will take hours to resolve (like a fork), we will post.
