I wish Bitpay, Circle and Coinbase would do the same.

Cool, we qualify except that "hashrate" doesn't apply. Do you think our stake distribution stats would convince them?

BTS might not be the hard sell, it's explaining how BitUSD with it's low volume is the right product for their service and how it's tied to BTS.

They look like they should be interested in BTS. 

I dont think they would be interested in our assets at this time, but that shouldnt prevent us from getting them to integrate BTS.

Might be a great opportunity for an existing marketing delegate or a budding business development delegate?

Gentso1 is our business dev delegate.  He would be able to take this up easily.  :)

I was taking to someone from Kraken and also told her about the initial distribution .. she liked it alot!

Is there any crypto token with a better distribution, except maybe Stellar?

I really see no advantage in getting them to accept BTS from a user POW. It will not be any cheaper or more convenient than going through a bridge like SS to pay with bitcoin, unless you hold BTS in your spending wallet. But it would be great marketing for our DAC, so pushing this is still really good, and if they already accept BTS then it'll be trivial for them to integrate bitUSD, bitCNY, bitGOLD later when they see the light :)

lol... I've gotten so used to writing that damn abbreviation. I also get confused when people angrily post "You proof of stake!!"

I would like to of course like to see them accept bit assets first and foremost but at the end of the day, even if they only accept bts its still a win and lets us get our foot in the door.

On it :P

It always seemed like a natural fit as they process 3 of the top 5 coins and we're at no.4. This would be very big news from a marketing POV.

 +5%

BitUSD would be ideal but even BTS to start would be fantastic.

I know Gentso1 is on it. The additional attention we're receiving on Coin Desk today can't hurt.
