[BTCIR]

Project looks really solid, is there a rich-list for factom somewhere?

Yep, here is the richlist from factoid.org:

That was a good question and glad it was answered.

Have more detailed information when they finish reviewing the application? And if this way it is not possible and you will not get the green light from cz, do you plan to get on their new DEX?

If they do their research right there is no way that they cannot add Factom to Binance imo.

I think Binance wouldn't list Binance because they sound pretty arrogant and unprofessional:

Tip 8: Don’t ask me for a status update on your application.

Tip 9: Don’t ask for a contact person. We don’t allow contact with our review team. We want to avoid bias influence as well as potential bribery attempts.

Tip 10: Don't shill your coin to me on Twitter, or any other social/chat programs.

Tip 11: Don’t send me your white paper

It may seem arrogant but it's not unprofessional or lazy. In fact it would be unprofessional if Binance, or even CZ in person, would make listing-decisions based on what he excludes. Just imagine how many try to convince him, or Binance-Staff, directly & personally to list this or that, try to bribe him or whatever. So, in my opinion he just clearly says how it is and what will not lead to success.

Factom actually should have some chances, because: 

1) it's a great team
2) they've shown not just abilities but also standing-power - Factom is there since 2015
3) they've never hyped
4) never acted greedy (ICO was nothing compared to today)
5) achieved a lot, not only technically but also regarding business

The only reason why Factom is not listed on bigger exchanges yet is probably because nobody, especially not the team, ever hyped it.

Binance has as strict policy of silence or non-communication during the application process.
Direct promotion, marketing or suspicious community activities in direction to Binance staff will violate the quite period and lead to disqualification.

Would be my profesionall understanding of tip 8-11 

[2012]

Factom has been lost its momentum while all other markets are showing impressive performance than moving totally opposite ongoing trend like before when others are under huge pressure and it was being pumped so hard. This kind of move will bring big pressure on those people who bought this coin on peak price.

This is Binance's more official post about listings:
https://medium.com/binanceexchange/binance-official-stance-on-listings-partnerships-8dc95480ab97


You've quoted CZ's personal post and you've quoted it out of context. He explains what they focus on, lists up points that might help and also what would cause rejection or even blacklisting. The quoted part for example starts with "Please don't: (...) " and it ends with a good explanation:

"We don’t reject applications outright (unless you get on our blacklist). Your project may improve over time. Even if we don’t list it now, we may list it later. So, continue working on your project, not on persuading us."

You might call it arrogant and unprofessional. I would call it straightforward and helpful. And, besides semantics, they wouldn't be that successful if they were unprofessional.

But, let's end this discussion here. There is also a Binance-Thread...

Well, I do not think so. It seems to me, that this project really shows a level, that is similar to many other projects. I can not attribute it to unpromising and failing. I just can say, that this is a kind of temporary inconvenience.
