Which coins should Bittrex support? Week 3 - Round 1

[Kanbei]

Just sent in my vote fro BeliCoins (BELI). As far as innovation is concerned it is pretty innovative as well. How? Well let's just say it has a different target market than most usual coins do. BTW heard BELI placed 3rd last week. But was not included? I hope they ain't shittin with the voters. And that this ain't no fixed voting where winners are already pre-selected despite what appears on the vote results.

If you win the poll, you are guaranteed to get listed.

Your quote is simply not true. Last week the voting result was discarded without prior notice that other criteria were in place. Can't you see that those 'high voted' coins are all bribes and not real interested people? They just want to receive a penny for voting but they will not trade good money on your exchange.

Now I don't care about your exchange anymore, you guys waste a lot of good effort and likely miss out on revenues.

When you add the other two coins that were in top 4 last week I will concidder to visit your site again. They deserve to be listed.

The poll result wasn't discarded.  There is a clear end time for the poll every week.  And we are adding the top 2 coins from the Week 2 poll.  Q2C won and 888 came in second. 

Really now? What about the other two coins that were neither in the top 4. Yet you still included them. Remember that you added 4 coins from last week. I'm quite surprised even after being ripped of the last voting poll people still hopes that their coin will be added. When those behind the voting poll seems to only add the coins they wish to add. Oh well we'll see this week. If the results still gets bypassed I'm adding Bittrex to my list of "Exchange Sites to Stay Away from guide" in my blogs so at least people will know about it. And don't hate me for doing so. Its just the right thing to do.

I don't hate you.  You need to do what you think is right. 

We don't take any bounties or donations for launching a new coin in our exchange. We look for coins that have high community demand, innovations to cryto-coin technology, or a contribution to science or humanity. And we often take risks on new coins.   

As I've stated repeatedly, this poll is one of the ways we add coins to our exchange.  If you win the poll like Q2C did, you get added to the exchange.  There are other ways and other criteria for inclusion.     

Btw, we've launched 888 tonight too.

as Bill said in his first post,

We're looking to add coins based on community demand as well as coins which contribute novel innovations to crypto-coin technology

The voting result is just one factor to be considered. I am also aware of and experienced the fact that Bittrex does not take "donations" to get coin listed. This is very unlike most other exchanges and respectable. To get your coin listed, just vote hard to show the strength of your community, or convince Bittrex that you are innovative from certain perspectives. IMO this looks perfectly fair.

I"m goin with maza because it is the only coin I currently recognize from the list.  Thanks for taking the opinions of the community.

+1 for MED being innovative by being able to reduce the likelihood of mining farms taking over.

I never implied anything about taking in donations or bounties. I merely stated the fact that is based upon what I saw. Your method of choosing the coins you support bypasses the purpose of this public poll. If you have already pre-decided to include a coin despite the poll results then you should not include it in the poll anymore. So people will not misunderstand your actions. Take last week for example. There were 4 coins on the top list. If you only  added the top 2. I would understand that. However when you ignore the ones occupying the 3rd and 4th slot and then go on and add the coins in the 5th and 6th place instead that's where the trouble begins. Especially when you imply that to get included you simply have to win the voting contest. You should have not included those coins in the poll. If you already decided that they will be added regardless of the poll results.

Here was your results last week:
Additions to Bittrex for the week of March 17th:
888
Q2C - Need their dev team to contact me
GRD
BCC - Bancor Coin

Plus many other surprise coins. 

And this was the Poll standings:
1st-Q2C (Added: poll winner)
2nd-888 (Added: poll runner up)
3rd-BELI (Bypassed)
4th-CGB (Bypassed)
5th-XXL (Bypassed)
6th-COYE (Bypassed)
7th-ANI (Bypassed)
8th-BCC (Added: despite placing only at 8th place, therefore concluded as a questionable addition)

Based on this. This being a public poll means you went out to get the choice of the people. GRD would have been an exception since it was not included in the poll in the first place so were ok with that. But with BCC that's where people will get to think that something is definitely wrong. You clearly mentioned that you add only the coins that get the most support after a week of voting. If that is so. Then why was BCC favored above the 5 other coins that came in higher places above it? Ok so you have other basis of adding a coin. But you have to understand. You included BCC in the poll. If you were so determined to add BCC despite the poll results you should have waited till it was no longer included in the poll. Or you should not have included it in the first place so it would not have created much of a stir. Miners, and investors share the same risk that you take in welcoming new coins. And our risks are even far greater. Because it is our time, money and resources which are used to provide these coins and give it life. If a coin fails it is us who loses the most. Exchanges have lots of options. Given the vast amount of coins in your possession and the amount of daily traffic you have. Wherein miners and Investors don't have much leeway compared to that of an exchange when dealing with risks. So you can never imply that you take risks in adding new coins. It is an invalid argument. Again I simply want you guys to recognize the mistakes being addressed here. Because clearly there were errors committed during the last voting period.

From the Beatlecoin forum...

There were coins in a block
But I never could get them mining
No, I never mined them at all
Till there was you

There were coins in the cloud
But I never saw them walleting
No, I never walleted them at all,
Till there was you

Then there was transactions and wonderful confirmations
They tell me comin from sweet GPU's
Of met'l and plastic

Thanks for adding us to the list!!!

That is "Til there was you" an early Beatles songs, modified for a little crypto action.  On our page, you can find some more... more to be added!

I respect your opinion on this but there is absolutely shared risk when it comes to coins.  We (Bittrex) eat the cost of hosting a coin on our exchange.  While we are fairly agile in our infrastructure and can add coins easily, each coin adds a cost to our exchange in terms of server cycles, disk space, and bandwidth.  Sometimes the coins are SPA, sometimes they are the majority of IPOs .   

Here's where the poll is not absolute and gets fuzzy.  Coins get added to the poll because at some point someone nominated it. Winning the poll gets you into Bittrex the following week.  Sending me an email with a compelling case for why we should list a coin (most of the time it is from miners, not the devs) will get you in.  These emails sometimes come to me after someone has already nominated the coin to the poll.

Most of the time, the case isn't very clear cut for immediate inclusion so we also look at the voting.  If there are reasonable numbers of votes and a decent case for why a coin should get added, we add it.  Sometimes, I'll research a coin after someone nominated it, and reach out directly to the dev team to get it listed. 

Anyway, I see your position on this.  Mining and trading has risks and having markets for your coins helps you reduce that risk.  What I can tell you is that if you feel strongly about a coin you are mining, message me about it and I'll be happy to work with you.   I'd love to work with some knowledgeable miners because they seem to know better than I do what is going to be the next big thing.
