Title: lets get bitUSD on coinmarketcap.com
Post by: MrJeans on September 16, 2014, 08:37:54 pm
Please make out requests for bitUSD to be placed on coinmarketcap.com
The link for the form is:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IZf5cBivam_93zENT_arFFuvWDidHGjWxoTMVmFSoWg/formResponse

It should show up at around position 50. It would be cool to see the dollar price for a bitUSD as being $1. I'm sure that would attract a lot of attention  :D

The bitUSD is NOT a coin but an asset that should therefor be listed on the assets page of cmc ..
I guess the google form is not yet up-to-date to that change

I'm very much of the opinion that no bit asset should be on coinmarket cap, since there is no such thing as a bitasset market capitalization (except that it is backed by collatoral BTSX). bitUSD/bitAsset market cap is already included in btsx. Technically, if you get a bit asset on coinmarket cap (which doesn't really make sense, it's more of an OI than a market cap), you also should subtract the corresponding value from btsx's market cap.

Here, I tend to take the position that doing it the way you're describing, though technically correct, is way more hair-splitting than it needs to be. In my view, the point of CMC is cheap publicity and bragging rights, not nitty-gritty details.

Sure, bitAssets are categorically different from assets on other platforms, but we want it to play in the same space as other cryptos, and getting it listed on CMC would increase its visibility. Right now people mostly think it's pixie dust that's "supposed to prediction market peg what?" If people had a chance to publicly watch the OI of BitUSD grow while maintaining a constant share price around $1, that would be money in our bank.

Yep it is very different and does not technically fit in with the rest but it needs to go somewhere and it would be good for people to see the growth in the number of bitUSD in circulation.

We just need to make them change the title of the column from 'Market Cup' to 'Total Value of Units in Circulation'...

bitUSD should definitely go on coinmarketcap, whether it goes on the main currencies page or in the assets section doesn't really matter.  I made a request.

Yes - I like the idea of "outstanding interest" and listed on the "assets" page.

I'm just a little worried about btsx running up in price, people closing out their positions to get some of the gains, and the coinmarketcap value "crashing." That crash doesn't really mean anything since no value left the bitshares system, it just rearranged itself. I'm worried it would be negative PR for what actually is a positive event (re-balancing and more people making money than before the re-balance)

Cool, great work!
Now we just need to persuade him to enable customising the base unit of the price chart. Currently there's only market cap in USD or price in BTC. Neither will reflect the peg of BitUSD or BitCNY.

But it shows how awesome the peg is working for BitUSD. I think this is quite impressive.

Gotta love the price of BitUSD -- $1.01. But yea, a chart to track the stability of the peg to the dollar is definitely needed.

Not sure where I stand on having it listed on coinmarketcap. From a marketing perspective the last thing we want to call bitUSD is a "coin." So for me, it's not necessary we be listed.  Interested to hear bytemaster's thoughts on this. b

If I didn't see bitshareX on coinmarketcap I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.

Honestly I don't think it will ever be on the NYSE because it makes the NYSE obsolete. It would be like a knocker-up praising alarm clocks.

I found out about this whole project when I saw ProtoShares listed on coinmarketcap the first time and got curious.
Listings on coinmarketcap are definitely cheap publicity.

Yep I dont think people take coinmarketcap too seriously but its a place to see where some new stuff are popping up. I think its a good thing in terms of cheep publicity. And it makes me happy to see our babies up there all proud for everyone to see.
