How about even starting the discussion with the community about criteria for listing. Personally i would like to see a group of 5 or 6 community members appointed to a board. They would help to develop an outline of mensurable criteria for exchanges to judge a coins progress. We know regulation is knocking at our door and the only way to help dictate the way it effects us it to influence it. I think we have an opportunity to get ahead of this be prepared for it and minimize the impact of the regulations. This means paid voting WILL NOT BE legal in the future so why practice it now. I always run my business ventures with best practices in mind even if they don't currently apply. If you where in the business of making soda and they made BVO illegal in your country next year you wouldn't make a new soda with it in it would you?

my 2 cents

Coinpayments is shutting down it seems but a great idea i will contact lazy coin and see what they think. Thank you for your constructive input.

The entire Dev team of EBT has not given up (i can speak to this because i am part of it) This is just a time of high tension and stress for us. We felt we where very close to getting listed on some major exchanges. We where even told that people in the cryptsy office (specifically Cryptsy Ken) Loved EBT and cant stop talking about it. Then we are blind sided by the voting (after already having to grease palms to even be considered on cryptsy). The issue lies in that we as a small niche group with a small but healthy following where issued a death sentence by the voting. We feel this way because we are not willing to throw $3000 at cryptsy just to get listed as it goes against the ethics of the majority of our Dev team. I will admit there has been some fall out in our Dev team because of this and some feel as though there is no possibility of saving this coin. I on the other hand disagree with that notion and would encourage each of you that have posted on this thread to make your voices heard. The only way we can get through to cryptsy and other exchanges that will im sure follow suit is to yell and scream at the top of our lungs that we as a community will not stand for this type of manipulation and corruption.  Don't let exchanges dictate the free market, Don't let the pockets of few dictate what you mine and trade, and Don't let the greed of one company destroy what we this community has worked so hard to build. I will say that this thread has been a breathe of fresh air to see the support that the community has given us, as well as the integrity of the people in this community. Thank  you so much for everything and i personally will make it my mission to make sure we do everything in our power to keep this coin alive.

If you think you can help or have an Idea (please no flaming or BS we don't need that right now we read the last 4 that you sent) send me a pm i would love any help you can give in keeping EBT going. We are in need of another Dev to help with updates and general health of the chain.
Sorry for the edit wanted to add a link. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=505850.msg5574841#msg5574841  please post here to show your support for the stand being made. There is also a tweet we have drafted that we would love a RT from each of you show cryptsy we wont stand for this.

+1 a great quote that kinda sums up the entire ordeal for me is:
History shows that where ethics and economics come in conflict, victory is always with economics. Vested interests have never been known to have willingly divested themselves unless there was sufficient force to compel them.
B. R. Ambedkar

I think this is the community's opportunity to be the force that compels them to divest personal interest and put the community and the health of the market first.

the way it could be done just doesn't make sense you could do 6 hd 7990's at $1500+ each but

Here is your build
Mobo: ASRock H81M
Proc:g1820 cel.
hdd: your choice or usb
ram: ddr3 8gb
video: 6x hd7990, GV-R799D5-6GD-B
psu:Antec HCP-1300 Platinum 1300W
5x pcie 1x risers
1x 16 to 16 pcie riser
but your looking at almost 7k for  this build  doesnt make sense might as well pre order an alpha and hope for the best


make btc payable to
1QArFiJzWLqPtqa47WUKTBpeWk2GTPfk28

are you asking us to ship you this miner or just post picture so the cgminer output and build instructions. because if you are expecting that box to be shipped to you then 4btc is not enough to build it at current market price and video card inflation

Well the EBT community thanks you for your hard work and i think we know what logo you are voting for as well

that calculator looks great is that something you are working on independently is there anything we can all do to help to get it out there.
