Its a big mistake to change MCR in a downtrend.It will have zero impact because of bad timing.
Instead we could use it in a real uptrend with clear singals to push BTS and make external traders join that push to pump it back up.
In a downtrend you won't see much of an effect.....you even risk getting quicker near gs....... losing again its pegg and reputation.

Patience is a virtue

Your issue is thinking that main growth comes with diffrent settings where real growth comes with new users,investors and businesses

People who want to work as lobbyists need to comment on the work proposal thread and leave the information of bts account, email and which exchanges he/she want to lobby, if finally the exchange open smartcoin market, the lobbyist need to provide evidence that it’s his/her work that make things happen.

I spoke to zb.com last year and they informed they had already listed bitCNY - I couldn't quite get to the bottom of it and it seemed there had been issues with paused withdrawls etc.

I think it was because of low liquidity.So ZBG would be a perfect step to get back to their main flag ship a real TOP10 exchange.
Also ZB's traffic is very interresting as its mostly asian (Japan,Korea,China)

LATOKEN are consistently top 20/25 so bring profile and they have a decent ranking on Alexa which implies a good portion of the traffic/trading is legitimate.

Out of the top 50 exchanges there are periodic concerns with traffic/trading volumes.

The point here on this worker was to get us listed on some exchanges so that people start actually hearing what bitCNY/USD are.

I agree with Xeroc's point we should be specific with workers moving forward as here I had probably 5-6 options that satisfied the criteria back in Nov. Only one listing took place so far and that was for a non-top 50 exchange.

You have some power now as a proxy Thul to support/propose good workers that will add specific value to Bitshares as you see it - have you thought about what these will be or what you would like to see being proposed?

I think bounties are good, more specific and clear the criteria the better to avoid cases of disagreement among the community.

The problem is these exchanges are in reality no top 50 CMC exchanges.They aren't even TOP 300 .They use fake volume to attract people to list their coin as their main income are listing fee's.
What does it bring bitassets to get listed on Latoken when it will bring zero volume or liquidity.That was not the purpose of that worker.
The purpose was to expand bitassets to exchanges to get real traders ,real liquidity and real volume.
Having bitassets listed on LAtoken i can tell you exectly what will happen.There will be zero volume because wash trading is not included in the price or there will be fake volume only with no liquidity.
In general you will be only able to buy and sell based on the amount of assets (own coin) you provide them.So where is the benefit in listing these bitassets when you don't get any new liquidity but only the one you gave them previously beside the BTC payment ?

Also why didn't anybody tried to get a real TOP 50 exchange ?The answer is because its difficult and thats why this bounty was created in the first place and not to receive bounty for exchanges which are asking each shit project to get them listed on their exchange.Contacting them and making a deal is nothing which would justify such a bounty.

I doubt you are going to deny it was easy to get an offer from IDAX,LAtoken,IDMC etc .......these exchanges have their people activly looking for any coin getting listed on their exchange.
They do no DD and accept even the biggest scam coins.


I said months ago if you want only fake volume i will open an exchange and get it with wash trading on #1 on CMC and will take the 1.5 million bounty for providing fake liquidity or to say it directly for nothing.

My intention is to expand bitshares by accuiring real growth and not by faking volume which won't do anything to the bitshares ecosystem beside losing a big amount of BTS.

@matle85 has created a transfer proposal for the smartcoin-marketing account which asks for ~800k of funding separated into listing fee and bounty for LATOKEN.

Re-reading the opening post, I believe it is too vague procedure wise. For instance, the bounty should be paid out separate from the listing fee (IMHO).
Additionally, I don't think we, as a community, are in a position where we can demand *more quality* exchanges to list BTS .. and *in particular* bitCNY and in
case of LATOKEN, i think the cost/benefit ratio is justify-able.

Hence, I will approve the proposal "1.10.26875"

I disagree.
HitBTC is an exchange which is doable but it needs time and communication.I started together with matle85 to talk to HitBTC and they seem to be interrested but they are working slow.
Nobody even tried to contact HitBTC or any similar seize of exchange as it is way more difficult and more time consuming instead we got offers from exchanges which main income are listing fee's instead of trading fee's.
I get bombarded weekly with offers from IDAX,LAtoken,IDCM etc asking to list a coin on their exchange for a listing fee with discount.

Here just from last week

Hello!
I'm Anna from LATOKEN Exchange. We are interested in listing your token at our Exchange ($450m daily trading volume). Please tell me whom I can talk to to discuss our offer?

Her telegram handle @anna_latoken .You can make a deal with her in 5 minutes.

IDCM is even worse than BIKI.

Alexa rank 420k (no traffic at all) for idcm.io which isn't working for me from 3 diffrent places. idcm.cc is working but has a rank of 2200000 on alexa

Many scam accusations and lawsuits because of hacking (They got a very bad security reputation and are also sued by a crypto foundation because of that)

They claim to be a chinese exchange based in HK but main traffic is HK,Nigeria,Vietnam,India,Turkey

Opinion on feixiaohao.com bad 1 1/2 star from 5.

Any other shitexchange has better parameters than that exchange.

Did you monitored their main trading pairs BTC/USDT and ETH/USDT ?
Big spread between sell and buy order so high that i highly doubt there is any significant volume at all.You can see the wash trading each second being executed.The diffrence between buy and sell order on BTC is $60
The worst part is the exchange itself seems to be very buggy.
When going to ETH/USDT or EOS/USDT pair it was switching prices each second from BTC to ETH and back to BTC.

I can't imagine bitshares which is trying to deliver highest security to its users to pay for a listing to such an exchange.

I voted against the reduce of MCR not because that i'm in general against it but because i belive its not the right timing to currently reduce MCR from 1.75 to 1.6 .
Timing on reducing MCR is a very important part.

Example OMO fund.Would we have used the OMO fund at a later time it would have significantly supported the supply of bitassets and value of BTS.The ground idea of the OMO fund was/is good but executed on a wrong time which caused in the end more damage than support because of wrong timing.
