Apologies for lack of updates. At the moment I'm just making sure that kobo survives this quiet time. Enquiries about blockchain are almost non-existent right now.
I'll start looking for other exchanges after the new year. I will speak to cryptopia and Empoex as you suggest. I'll also have words with a few others as well. CoinExchange is a good service. We've really been let down by Yobit. I don't think they're on a fork. I think they're not too interested in providing support. When I've attempted to engage with them, they've not been very interested. I've told them I'll pay them to get their wallet issues resolved but that hasn't even gotten a response from them.
Kobo will be 2 years old in February. We'll be a more established part of the crypto landscape. As slow as things may seem, KOBO is well known in Africa now, still gets publicity and is still in a good position for the future. The difference in here is that the crypto industry couldn't care less (which isn't a problem to me). That's fine, but I know that kobo holders want to see more happening and see rises in price and volume. I'm in this for the long term. I've spent my own money for the last 2 years to keep kobo up and running and syncing. We still have all our infrastructure.
I know there's more that can be done but there's seriously no point pushing a technology right now that people (to be truthful about it) are just not interested in at this moment in time. Everyone is fighting to push crypto services to the general public but the only advances are from the people offering services to the crypto industry itself.
I believe it will change in time. Progress will be gradual and we are still progressing.
Thanks for the update, hang in there mate, I still believe there is a future for national crypto currencies, we just need an event like the banks crashing again before the public look for an alternative to the status quo.
The way Yobit conduct themselves is a disgrace, the sooner the crash and burn the better.
Cryptopia have a good reputation,, I'd start there, you can pay to get added, it cost 2M of their own crypto coin called DOT coin, the current price is 30 sat, so 0.6 BTC to get listed.
I'd be willing to chip in a little, I'm sure there are some other long term holders willing to do the same?
1st stop, Cryptopia it is then
It was 500K DOT so cost less than you quoted. I've already bought the DOT and I'll apply through Paytopia once the new block explorer is online (required for a coin listing or it would have been applied for this evening).
I'm in the process of getting a more stable explorer up and running. I'll be using CryptoID. The company hosting my servers aren't too reliable in terms of uptime (but the price is right). I'll move to a more stable environment when I can. I have 2x BE's already but they're not as reliable as CryptoID. I've already requested a quote.
I'll always be grateful for ANY donations or contributions. I don't like to think about how much I've spent over the last 2 years but I have no regrets on that front. I've posted my BTC address as most crypto services can be bought with BTC.

KOBO has also been listed on NovaExchange but Nova is a very low volume exchange.
https://www.novaexchange.com/market/BTC_KOBO/ With Yobit, I just want them to enable withdrawals so people can move their KOBO off the site. I've been trying for over 6 months with no luck on that one. I really don't know what it will take. I hope it's not another cryptsy. I used to think they were a good exchange. Really been letting a lot of people down recently.
