Why is BTC-e the only (big, notable) exchange brave enough to add other Alt-coins? What are the positives and negatives? Wouldn't it make sense for exchanges such as CampBX, BitStamp, VirWox, etc, to add Alt-coins just to draw more traffic to their exchanges? They aren't even generating enough volume to begin with. With the Alt-coin gold rush that is happening and profits over twice as much as mining bitcoin, more miners will need to exchange Alt-coins. They will need as many options as there are for bitcoin, imo. Just some thoughts. edit: BTC-e: Add PPC already. sheesh! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

That would come only at the expense of being able to offer this level of simplicity: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FWaRQ7.jpg&t=665&c=Jn0WXjz9-aBRzw)

DVC actually might be a really good base for it since it is one of the most granular alts out there with an as expected considerably smaller price which makes things easier to convert to and from.

I sent an email requesting ppc to btc-e. Would like to see support for it. It is a gamble to have to deal with all the work of adding and taking away an overnight "fad" currency. PPC is still kind of shakey as to it living or dieing yet.
The only exchange I REALLY care to see add anything is Mt.Gox adding LTC/BTC-LTC/USD.

Eventually I'd like to see TRC on an exchange, but not yet. It's trivial for people to add since it's entirely bitcoin with tiny changes. Just as secure. Just as stable.

vircurex might be interesting, but they've never shown much sign of life, with completely anemic volume on all coin.
Support @ btc-e told me in a pm that they'd be supporting PPC once it reached a 1mBTC exchange rate.

However, it's not so trivial to get people interested and behind it. Even Litecoin was lucky to strike at the right time. :-) I still think there was much value in changing the hashing algorithm. Terracoin did not do this. Just change params, recompile, release. No premine also for LTC unlike TRC.
