Very true. I've been waiting for this point. It was inevitable. I'm sure bitjohn sees how many people post on here paying for votes. it makes the point of votes kind of useless
hmmm not really,
the more people who vote means the more people who are aware of the coin.
even if they are paid to vote, that just means more people who HAVE that coin, and will be wanting to trade it.
paid to vote or not, still promotes Cryptsy as being the SORT AFTER EXCHANGE
The difficulty comes for the community that supports a coin for whatever reason... but that Cryptsy decide not to.
In effect, it can somewhat mean that if BigVern don't like your coin for whatever reason... then all those that supported it, even if it is Hundreds or Thousands... too bad.
Sure you can add it to other exchanges as happens... but it can never evolve to the next step of being a coin without being on a decent sized exchange.
How can you convince shops to add it for their paid services or online sites to support it, if they don't have a guaranteed way of converting the coins to BTC/Cash when they need.
The additional difficulty is not knowing how to go about increasing your chances. If you are legitimately trying to create a better coin, what chance do you stand against the Gimmick coins that draw the attention? Should you email? should you twitter? should you fly to their office and ask them? what is the procedure to say "Hey, what does it take to get added?" on a stock exchange, you just have to meet all the requirements and off you go. But here... what?
