kraken need to add more coins!
Hey
I have a question precisely on this topic:
Does Kraken have a way to suggest a new cryptocurrency like the
New Coin Request at Poloniex?
I would be really interested but could not find anything about it on Kraken.
Basically they operate like this (sorry Dargo, but it' totally true):
1. You make a recommendation with solid arguments.
2. They say no.
3. You ask why.
4. They give you a seriously weak counter argument. Examples: "We a focusing on other things right now", "We don't feel it's necessary right now", etc...
5. Some time goes by...
6. Then one of two things happen:
a: nothing
b: they add the feature you requested bragging about how they came up with it on their own.
Examples (that I personally suggested a long time ago (2014) and was promptly dismissed):
- flipping the BTC/LTC pair to LTC/BTC (like every other exchange had, and now Kraken also)
- maker/taker fee structure
Recently Dash. People were requesting it like crazy, but Kraken said no. Then out of the blue they add it saying on their blog: "You know what, we just decided to add Dash. We think it's a cool thing. The developers are really happy about it. Here's what they have to say....".
