1.Roughly 288,000 coins are being generated each day. It should be 144,000 but the algorithms aren't right.. In fact unless the developers of any newer alt completely rewrite that bit of code you'll see misreported hashrate and the generation won't be quite right in any coin.. lava and RPG are working on it. However all those extra coins are flooding the market and the price is taking a beating. There also have been connection problems with the present client, and we have been promising the release of the new client for so long, there is a feeling in some quarters that we are incapable of doing so. The truth is that Lava has coded in fixes to problems deemed impossible to completely rectify which passed testing, but it's taken a lot of time.
2. To buy SXC first you have to buy BTC, Then you have to swap it to LTC, then you can buy SXC. Generally Cryptsy will take any crap coin, and list it against BTC. There is then the thought that if Cryptsy won't list it against BTC, it must really be crap. I spoke in the cryptsy thread to Bitjohn and requested that it be listed against BTC, but he said they were busy, but they would consider it. Investors also approached him in Las Vegas earlier. Since then they haven't been too busy to add several more coins.
I haven't bothered to chase it up, because Bitjohn has had a long history of being biased against SXC, and I have a long history of having a volatile temper, and involving myself further would be counterproductive.
3, We overtook development of the coin, which means we weren't in on any premine or instamine, which means we don't have the funds to pay brib,.. I mean bounties . We also didn't announce the release to anybody involved in an exchange then to the general public some weeks after it had been mined.
4. I note in a thread that on the 7th of December, the attorney general of Florida was allegedly advised of cryptsy's operations and showed great concern about the potential for fraud, and will be investigating their operations. While this may just be FUD spread by a competitor of cryptsy to tarnish their reputation, if true then any coin dependant on cryptsy is in for a rough time.
I have approached the following exchanges
https://bter.com/ https://vircurex.com/https://btcltc.com/ https://www.crypto-trade.com/ http://cryptonit.net/ https://btc-e.com/ https://coinedup.com/ And lava was told by
https://www.coins-e.com/ that they would add the coin but no action has been taken. Perhaps they are waiting for the client release. We are listed on CoinEX.PW, but they don't broadcast information to sites like coinchoose, and so are obscure.
If you want to see an increase in price, and protect your investment, I would suggest you assist in lobbying exchanges to add SXC in a BTC trade pair. Generally coins pay brib.. bounties to anybody who spams exchanges on their behalf, but I personal think such behaviour is infantile, and a waste of resources best used for real promotion and development.
It is a pity that the exchanges don't seem to list coins on merit, but rather by popular request.
EDIT: some sites like Coinwarz require a BTC trade pair for stats, so SXC has not been listed since CoinEX's api's stopped working, reducing SXC's exposure.
