I don't understand how coins like MANA and SALT start trading at 1BTC
How is that possible?! What do you mean by trading at 1 btc? Presently SALT is trading at 0.00063800 BTC and MANA is trading at 0.00000230 BTC, so I am not sure where you are getting 1
BTC from except I just don't understand what you are driving at.
When MANA and SALT started trading on BITTREX, the price was 1bt.
See the graphs.
Thanks a lot for pointing me to that, I did not check the charts at first and I just confirmed it. That must have been a pretty big and huge error looking at the gap and considering someone might be fast enough to trade at that amount.
However, knowing it is a new listing, which I have never really taken note of before, it is possible it might be a norm for newly listed coins before they regulate it to the current market value, which obviously wallets would have been disabled by then for deposits.
