Re: [ANN] Potential Markets de-listed from Bittrex on Friday, July 25th

What I would like to see from a leading exchange like yours is to implement some proof of dev.

- How hard would it be to get the leading dev of interesting coins to chat with one of you in a video call explaining what his coin is, what he intends to do and what not.  

I am sure some of them will still be scam, as a competent person can fool you into accepting his coin but after he fooled the community once, this guy will be barred from your exchange forever with his photo published and what not.,. For their next scam they will need an other competent dev to give the speech and answer your technical guy. A method like this is a bit intrusive but for the sake of crypto, I believe this is almost mandatory at this point.

Bittrex is hurting more than helping the community at this point with all the scams. This is unbelievable how much money has been stolen past few weeks with all this stuff. What might happen at this point is people are going to avoid your site and go back to mintpal and invest in established new coins.

I personally was trading quite a bit 3 weeks ago and barely bought any coins on your exchange since then, and intend to do so until this situation is resolved.

Investing in the dev > investing in a coin right now.

@Bittrex-Bill
Proof of Dev? Seriously, you mean all I need is a cool online name, a few BTC, and I can get my coin listed? No wonder the industry has a trust problem....

Think SRO (Self Regulatory Organization), like a stock exchange. People have faith in the stocks because they are on the exchanges. Exchanges have customers because they do their homework before listing a stock. They are not perfect, but the fact they look into companies first deters the unscrupulous.

As an exchange, It is all about trading volume, and that means trading the hottest coins. But paid listings are worrisome.
It begs the question, Who are your most important customers? Those with coins to list? Or, the people that trust you with their coins (Read: Money)? (No good or bad here, it is just a business model thing. But being a customer I prefer the latter)

Why? Because more and more alts have Market Caps approaching the 10's of millions range or higher. This is Real Money. The Mt.Gox collapse was the wake up call. Hey, Real $$! Then Poloniex suffered a loss at their own fault. Now say what you want, but Poloniex recovered and made everyone whole. Like the exchange or not, they have earned a measure of respect. As a result, there is a growing faith that each exchange is not a fraud, but soon they will demand a measure of protection from / by the exchange from coin fraud.

Now with the recent rash of new scam coins should drive this next evolutionary phase. Due Diligence. Some sort of due diligence is needed and or will soon be demanded by traders and investors. Bryce Weiner (think what you want) he has his coins. Will they work? IDK, but when I buy/invest in one, I have some knowledge of what I am getting into and reason to believe it isn't a scam. That doesn't mean it will work, but it seems like the guy is trying.

A clearly defined 'industry standard' set of criteria needs to be (read: will eventually be) developed. Something much more significant than measuring the shouting on social media. It is like a random pat down for people waiting at the gate of a sporting event. Will it keep bad people out, NO. But the simple tactic is enough to make casual evildoer step out of line.

The future of the industry is straight forward. Exchanges that continue listing anything for anyone will lose respect, volume, and desirability.
Exchanges that are serious have no choice than to start regulating themselves. If they don't, the alt industry will suffer significantly. Bottom line, Integrity and Intent count.  (It is also expensive!)

And that sets up the next stage.
Ultimately fragmented industries consolidate. It simple economics; things like economies of scale and shared resources are powerful at the bottom line.

So, anyone hear of any merger talk lately? Uncomfortable with that idea? It doesn't matter. The mergers are coming. And as fast as this industry evolves... I think the first one happens soon, like in the next 3 - 9 months.

You can make it happen,
You can watch it happen,  or
You can sit there and wonder WTF Just happened....  (Capt. Phil Harris)

My complete guess (based on Geography) >> Bittrex & Cryptsy.
Trex has a bit more volume which should go well with Cryptsy's newly (Licensed) Dollar markets. Every US Dollar Cryptsy adds to their accounts increases their desirability. 
Then the US Alt Trading Powerhouse will be ready to go international (read: MintPal) but that bring a lot of expensive legal requirements.
I see Polo gathering up the best of the rest while the high-school project sites fold due to lack of interest. Being in 3rd place (US) maybe Polo should try and get the ball rolling first.


I wholeheartedly agree with everything you said The issue is within this game people don't want there to be regulations and they don't want to be accountable its the guise of(anonymity and the lack of consequences that has been the way things have been operated thus far in all things crypto); that being said they're trying to hide behind new pseudonyms and scam coins. If these exchanges had any care for due diligence they may be able to catch some of the scams but at the same time there is no real way to tell whether a coin is going to be a scam or not because i could make the most legit looking coin and not have a crazy high market cap for it and then just poof vanish. There would need to be some kind of regulations put in place that would hold people accountable and those types of regulations are what will push people away from crypto as it would take the level of anonymity out of it. Now with what you said when those things come about crypto will be more stable and trustworthy but much less anonymous hopefully theres not too much of a mess before the dust settles.

I am still here just not able to be as active due to some changes at my job with a restructuring of the department i worked for they fired 2 people and now i have to take on the extra responsibilities of one of those people along with them changing my hours so it has been a bit rough on me adjusting to that id like to be able to devote and dedicate as much of my time as i did in the beginning when i got BarTeam on board and when i took the lead after this coin was kind of just left sitting and it makes me very ecstatic to see that BarTeam is doing such a great job on this coin and really stepped up and has handled all that has been thrown at him.

best ways to get in touch with me are through PM's here or XLCPlus@gmail.com

Keep up the great work BarTeam!!!

and i thank you all for the continued support!

XLC has been added to AllCrypt.com!

Just to show how much important is YOUR dedication... what did I do to this exchange for this coin to be added? Nothing! I just would like to thank allcrypt for believing us!

AND WE HAVE the 2nd EXCHANGE! AllCrypt.com

Account created! BarTeam!
Please see attached e-mail response from allcrypt in regards to coin being added.

Thank you all for your continued support we're picking up good traction.

I apologize for my absence as of late. I had been traveling for work for the past 3 weeks and had minimal time to be as active as i'd have liked to be while i was away.

thankfully BarTeam was here to take the helm and have everything under control. Thanks BarTeam You Rock!!!

Your coin has being added to AllCrypt.com! The blockchain is successfully downloading right now, and the coin will be listed as soon as it is complete!

We have posted announcements on Twitter and on the bitcointalk.org threads (if there are any). Follow us on twitter (@all_crypt or https://twitter.com/All_Crypt) and spread the word!

We never require payment or bounties for adding coins - it helps us both to have the exposure! We need you as much as you need us! But, some coins do offer them, and we're never against accepting anything that helps with operating expenses. If you'd like to donate BTC or a bounty of your coin, please let us know and we'll get you an address to send to! (This is a macro autoreply that we send minutes after we add a coin - we havent even had time to generate an address yet!)

Thanks for your support!

Ok guys, sorry for my delayed posting this weekend / end of last week i am traveling for business and it is hard for me to get the time to get on here i had an extremely busy weekend i wanted to follow up and let everyone know the interaction i had with Bill from bittrex. Also to help our cause with allcoins if you can retweet the twitter post i had made referencing allcoins it will have them add us in a faster manner. Check us out on twitter @xlcplus

this was his response via e-mail.

Bill (Bittrex)
Jun 28 14:38

Hi,

We'll keep you available for another week. At this stage, we're giving 1 week reprieves for coin devs so that we keep getting updates on how the coin is doing. At some point soon, we're going to expect to see some momentum of the coin or we'll remove it.

Bill

Basically it has come down to us being on the chopping block weekly until there is continued support for this coin in terms of sustainable volume on bittrex time as we have all been saying we need to see some sustainable volume i think the number they were looking for is .1 btc volume average. Also we will need everyone to help contribute with this and to voice their support for XLC so that when it comes time for that weekly removal they will see the support and following for the coin.

UPDATE:
as of right now we are #66 on alcoin with 49 votes
and we are # 240 on mintpal with 292 votes
currently we are #30 on bter with 9 upvotes and 0 downvotes

Weird that the smaller exchanges didn't simply accept the coin outright, but it may be a situation where not being new is a disadvantage. Sometimes new coins get that initial volume boost that older coins don't.

If the coin does get delisted from bittrex, I suggest rethinking the rebranding idea. Possibly other exchanges would take it then if was viewed as a new coin. As for c-ex, not entirely sure what to think of it. Some folks like it, some say they have been scammed there, so not sure.

I see youre thinking but in all honesty i feel it has more to do with the fact that there are so many alt coins popping up on a daily basis now that even the smaller exchanges get inundated per se and they feel maybe they need to have a little more restriction on what coins get added to possibly avoid adding the coins that will just get pump dump or ipo launch scammed.

I figure what we have already set in motion will be good and then if for whatever reason it gets delisted that is when the rebranding will be put to the forefront and be the first priority i have reached out to the people who i think i needed to reach out for this matter and hopefully they continue to work with us as they have in the past. It is hard being that i am currently traveling for work and dont have all the resources at my disposal as i would if i was back at home. that being said i am trying my best to be as active as possible and help with as much as i can. BarTeam has been a great addition and is definitely helping guide this project in the right direction together we are going to do great things with this coin and with the clear following we have had and the positive support from all of you i know this will succeed. So for that i want to thank all of you who has supported and who continue to support our efforts!!!

We look for coins that have high community demand, innovations to crypto-coin technology, or a contribution to science and humanity. We believe in aggressively taking chances on coins and letting the free market sort out which coins should thrive. We just as aggressively prune our markets to allow new coins the visibility to grow in our exchange.  Our goal is to continue to launch new markets to occupy the spaces left from the coins we are removing.

Below you will find markets that we're removing on Friday, June 27th.  If you'd like to see them stick around, the best thing to do is spread the word and get the market active again.  We generated this list based on average volume in the last week and length of time on Bittrex, or whether the wallet and network has been having trouble.  In rare cases, we'll open LTC markets for coins or give the community more time to build volume.  If you are a developer of a coin on this list and would like to keep your market on Bittrex, please contact us at support@bittrex.com

AntarcticCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-ACC
A3Coin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-A3C
BWinCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BWC

Saved until Jun 30th due to developer/community intervention:
QuebecCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-QBC
BankCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-BANK
VirtualMiningCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-VMC
HuskyCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-HC

Saved until July 4th due to developer/community intervention:
RomanCoin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-ROM
University Coin: https://bittrex.com/Market/Index?MarketName=BTC-UVC

We'll follow a pattern of announcing and removing markets twice a week.  We'll announce the next set of candidates for deletion on Monday for removal on Friday.

After a market is deleted, you will have 14 days to remove your funds before we shut down the wallet (provided the blockchain permits it.)


PM and e-mail sent in regards to XLC - LitecoinPlus

As we have discussed we are still working on this coin and have been actively trading and keeping the volume levels near what you had stated was a requirement to keep the coin listed. if you check in the thread we have plenty of activity regarding this coin and there are plenty of people still interested in trading it on bittrex. we have some things lined up for the coming weeks and would love if you could extend us on your exchange so we have a platform for people to trade.

Thank you,

Have any of the smaller exchanges accepted the coin yet? Austin Global, Atomic-trade, allcoin/allcrypt, King Coiny... any of those guys? You need a backup plan in case Bittrex doesn't extend.

I have reached out to all of those and i got the coin added for voting on c-cex but people have given negative feedback for that exchange so i dont know if we are planning on actually continue to try to vote it up there.

also i have received this response from allcoin.com

Hi,

There are two wo ways to be listed in allcoin.com.

1. First way, just send tweets, you’d better invite your supporters tweet how much they love your coin and AllCoin.

Please @allcoincom.

We’ll list your coin after some tweets and retweets, the more the better.


2. Second way, invite supporters to vote in allcoin.com

we’ve added your coin to our voting list, please add the link to your forum thread and website, thank you.


https://www.allcoin.com/vote/#XLC

Also i have reached out to allcrypt this was their response
We received your request and the coin is now in the queue to be added. We add coins when we have the spare time to get them in, on a first come first serve basis. Sometimes your coin will be added the same day, sometimes it may take a few days. Once your coin is started, we will update and close out this ticket to let you know.

Also - if your coin is not yet released, please reply to this ticket ONCE THE SOURCE IS AVAILABLE. We cannot do a thing with your coin until we can get our hands on the source. We will not be watching the calendar and won't follow up once the coin is released - that's your job Wink So contact us once we can download the source code and compile.

Please note that we will only install from a Github hosted source. No pre-compiled binaries, no private zipfiles hosted on a download site, it absolutely must be a github source. We don't care how trustworthy you are - we don't trust anyone with the security of our users' coins. If your coin has special compilation requirements, please let us know in advance - if we have to spend an hour scouring forums for that special trick we need to do to compile the coin, we'll move onto the next one, and get back to yours later. Easier for everyone if you let us know those special tricks in advance.

Think that covers it! Thanks for your interest in AllCrypt.com - the coin will be here soon!

I have fowarded them the Github source link for them so it is just a matter of time i believe.

Thanks all for your support and followup.

thanks,

I will be heading out for the day and may not be back on after this but i am continuing to vote hourly. please feel free to do the same!!!!

About mintpal.. I agree.. with the fact that we should not waste/spend money over the votes (for now). but instead.. over "transacting" the coin...

But keep in mind that voting is still "valuable" to the XLC. It generates "interest" if you keep "saying".. "we are voting.. look.."... so my statement.. is

Keep voting.. for XLC.. it's a way for you to support the coin.. paying with your time.. instead of coin. And it will pay off.. in time.. for all those free votes...

Regarding the coin... it needs re-work... and much much more transactions...  and.. up up up the value...

Also.. keep the wallets running.. it creates.. more minting value.. and enriches .. the coin transactions... ( might have the luck of running mining.. and 24/7 wallets .. but I am sure some of you too )

Keep in mind that you are not alone.. and if you think you are.. you just send me.. a message.. and I can reply back (it can take up to a week.. but I will do). Always!


Just as he said! there are still a bunch of us backing this coin and we are here myself included i am currently away for business and will not be back home until 7/9 so my part in this will be not as visible during that time. i will however make sure to continuously follow the thread and post when i can along with keeping in touch with the other members of the team.

The voting is definitely significant regardless what some people say as oh there's no way we will get to the top blah blah blah. a vote is a vote and each vote brings us that much closer so if we all can continue doing what we have as barteam said and dedicating our time to voting that is a great step in the right direction.

Also as he mentioned we are in the background working on other aspects of the coin including the re-working. i will be dedicating whatever time i can to doing some design work along with hopefully by the time i return from this work trip a completely reworked site with the updated image of the coin along with reaching out to coinmarketcap and creating a banner for the coin to hit the "target" audience as westostrich mentioned.

As long as we can all continue to work together and support one another this is going to go places and unlike what many others see as he mentioned a lot of these coins go through a rather short lifecycle they launch they get hyped the make it onto one small exchange there's some volume and then they end up deciding to go to mintpal once they do this the big whales come in pump it up to where they want to make the money they want to make and then BAM to the ground now that is not the direction we want the coin to go in. We have something here that can continue to grow over time without following the same path that many of these other altcoins have fell victim to. I understand people usually in this "game" don't want to wait for results the thing is sometimes you have to be patient to really get the best out of something. The development of this coin is far from done and with the continued support from all of you it is going to continue moving in the right direction and we will reach our goals together!

edit: i apologize for the compacted paragraphs if they are uneasy for you to read i sometimes get into writing and don't think to space things out i will work on that going forward. Thanks again for all of your support everyone you truly are a great community to have backing this coin.

Actually in retrospect i agree with you.

We currently have someone looking into an android wallet and then as soon as ios becomes available we will be making an IOS wallet for apple devices.

these are things in the works as soon as updated information as to the progress becomes available i will make it known to you all.

thanks for your 2 cents crypto.(i guess i just got a little ahead of myself and wanted the number to go up faster)  Grin Grin Grin

poornamelessme: it wouldnt be .05 if people matched it and did the same but i understand your point. We have looked into other smaller exchanges and they have been dragging their feet on adding us to the voting list the only one so far that has added us to their voting is C-Cex but there has been a lot of negative news about some of their doing. I am unaware of the truth in regards to it but there have been some people who have clearly voiced their opinion on it.

I have made an account on c-cex but i was unable to vote for the coin which i found was weird.

I will follow up and reach out again to the other exchanges i have spoken to. i dont know if poloniex would add us due to the prior misunderstandings with XBCplus.

we are continuously looking into the suggestions and options you have all mentioned. thanks for your input and feedback!

So, who's willing to put some BTC towards our voting on mintpal. im willing to throw .05 btc toward it if i can get at least 2 or 3 other people to match my donation. Manual voting 1 by 1 will only do so much there is a huge gap from number 1 and those people have deep pockets to buy votes. We will need to be a community and everyone group together in order to make it to the top!

Who's with me?!?!?!?! Together we can do it!

ooh, that sounds catchy.

So just an update on where i will be the next few weeks. I will be traveling until july 9th for work so i may not be on for days at a time possibly longer im leaving it up to BarTeam and XLCPlus to carry along and so far BarTeam has been doing a great job at just that. I will do my best to continue to check and respond to messages in a timely manner. I will most likely not be connecting to IRC as much as i have and i don't know if it really matters since it seems many people from the thread have not been in the IRC channel.

I still plan to do any updates to the site as they become necessary and to continue with development of this coin around my schedule.

thanks everyone for your understanding and patience. I like the direction we are going!

I spoke with bill at bittrex and he says he will support us on their platform as long as we are active and keep him in the loop.

I plan on doing just that and continuing to be as transparent as I have been.. As XBCplus  and BarTeam mentioned we appreciate the feedback and are working on making the things requested and discussed a reality.

Hope all of you had a great fathers day weekend!
