Hi,
I'm new here but I've been mining for many years, came accross cagecoin and im currently throwing an l3+ at it
If it's a problem of exchange, there are exchanges out there that list for free or for very small ammounts of money such as NIBYX
https://nibyx.com which will list a coin for $250 within 48 hours, I'm sure (if the dev created a donation address) people who hold cage would donate to get on NIBYX.
And to be honest, to get on an exchange for $250 in this day and age is CHAEP, MEGA CHEAP when you consider what cryptopia/binance charge.
