You can't simply create a coin (specially a fork) and expect it to be listed in exchange when there is not even a solid userbase. I'm personally not aware of any exchanges that doesn't require paying a fee, which is very understandable because otherwise, people would abuse the system and list shitcoins.
Hmm ... And what should I do? People ask:
- On which exchange can we change our merecoins? - and I do not know what to answer them
Do I have to make a stock exchange myself now? But it's a lot of work
Or is there some simpler solution to this problem?
C-cex has a coin voting program:
https://c-cex.com/?id=vote. It'll only work if you have a)tons of money to spend on it getting listed or b) tons of grassroot support for your coin. For you, it has to be b.
I don't think that it's feasible to open your own exchange for the sole purpose of trading your coin against BTC. It'll be way too expensive and hard to set up that you're probably better off just paying for your coin to be listed.
There's probably a few other small exchanges that have coin voting programs. You could email individual exchanges, however to get your coin listed especially on bigger exchanges, most of the times you will have to pay a fee or have a huge supporter base for your coin.
