I think the bitcoin exchanges should not have alts, because all alts would be gone soon. they appeared only in order to cater to speculators, there is no significance for the alts continue to existence.
that's why the professional exchange such as bitstamp or lakebtc, they reject any alts
Now bitstamp' and lakebtc' price stopped on bitcoincharts, what happened with their api? (both they are re-added to the coindesk BPI since they suspended by something wrong.)
