We try to give coins a very generous time to get some transactions, OBS and YAC were added long before any of our recent votes. Our removal of a coin does not mean we like or dislike the coin. If it can't pull some of its weight, we try to give new coins a trial run at it. Also we do not collect proceeds or fees on the votes, they all go to BitGive Water Fund.
Don't misconstrue my point of view... at this point, I personally don't have an issue with using btc for votes, whether it goes to a charity or not. Like you said, YAC was voted on without BTC, so I feel can't really complain. But I would complain if it was voted on with BTC, and you decided to take it down without being transparent on the requirements to leave it up. I know YAC was an extreme case of 0 transactions, but it would be good to know in the future. I hope that makes sense.
On a side note, I think gift cards for crypto is awesome. Is there a chance CoinPayments could be used on gyft.com or egifter.com?
Thanks for all that you do.
If they want to use CoinPayments they are more than welcome to
On new coins, we will give them at least 2 months. If they get even 1 or 2 transactions in that time we'll keep them on longer; we just want to use our resources to support coins that are being used and hopefully becoming even more popular.
We never got paid to list ORB. We use public votes, not bribes.
ORB was one of 14 coins you selected for the public beta before any public votes started. I admit Red Mist has failed to deliver what he has promised, but the community is still there helping to make something good. Give it a couple more months and remove if it doesn't work out.
Yeah, that's right, we still didn't receive any payment for it though.
We'll turn it back on for another 2 months, but if it still isn't getting any transactions I don't want to hear any complaints if it gets turned off
