Title: How to attract Gateways?
Post by: CryptoPrometheus on January 06, 2015, 08:55:06 am
How can we convince existing exchanges to agree to become gateways to BTS once they realize that doing so will contribute to their own eventual demise?

Maybe I am giving them too much credit, and many will simply see BTS as yet another opportunity to collect transaction fees. Nevertheless, are there any legal entities besides crypto-exchanges that can we go after as potential gateways?

Like credit unions, money transmitters, banks even? Just brainstorming...

A gateway can be just as profitable as a centralized exchange. They can still charge fees for moving UIA's, and additionally they can gain delegates to further incentivize integration.
