Steem - Ignoring New Exchange Listings would be a Huge Mistake

in steem •  5 years ago 

I'm down for whatever I can do to help. Though I do know from the emails I have sent that many of the exchanges want to talk directly to the lead development team/directors etc about listings...

jrcornel, I now promote you as a director of Steem! We could use a volunteer Steem developer to help us answer any questions we have.

They ask me the same, one time they asked If I was the owner of Steem. I said, yes I own Steem. They frame it as ICOs with CEOs.

It is like asking for the CEO of Bitcoin, anyone can represent Bitcoin, just like anyone can rep Steem as it is open source.

I do suggest waiting until after the SMT hardfork and all the bugs worked out, otherwise those exchanges may suspend or delist and the hardwork/expense was for nothing. The coinbase listing form asks if you are from the dev team or a > $1m investor. Tagging @pennsif and @jrcornel.

Edit: No harm setting up a discord channel and getting people involved in the meantime.

Yea I have been thinking the HF issue may be why steem has a tough time getting on and staying on exchanges... Waiting until the time is right is probably the smarter idea, though with 20+ HFs already under our belt, there may never technically be a "right time". Since we know at least 2 major HFs are on the way in the coming months it probably does make sense to wait at least until after those. I just want to make sure we have Steemit,Inc onboard with that plan as well.

Yes it makes sense to wait for Steem to be stable after the upcoming HF. As far as Steemit being onboard with an exchange listing plan, as far as I know they don’t have a dedicated person approaching exchanges so we have to do it. They however are generally happy to help with technical support when the exchange is interested. I collaborated with them quite nicely to get paycent.com onboard for the ability to load Steem directly to a crypto debit card.

Good point, ty.

Yea I was wondering if HFs were potentially part of the problem.
Waiting is probably a smart idea, but I do think setting things up and getting ready for when the time is right is still a good idea. IE, having funding ready for listings and having the right people ready to talk to the exchanges...

I would like to see Steem listed on Changelly or Shapeshift. Exodus wallet said they can list Steem if we can secure one of those providers they use.

We were on Changelly at one point right?

Yes we were, they delisted due to onerous node requirements, too many HF's and not much usage. They want something like 20K USD to list again.

Good deal, I really didn't want to just sit back and wait for another year while this next bull market potentially rages on. :)

That is the first I have heard of them wanting an event to list on, but I guess it does make some sense.

Regarding the listing fees, a few of them spell it right out for you:

https://tagz.com/listing-with-us/

(3.5 BTC to list, plus 1 BTC yearly renewal fee)

This is currently the highest volume exchange according to coinmarketcap, though it is predominately a bitcoin exchange. Not sure we would want to pay that high of a fee for that specific exchange, but that is just one example of some of these spelling out the listing fees upfront.

Overall I feel like Coinbase should be our top focus, getting steem listed on there probably offers the most bang for our buck.

Never kay sticker price! ;)

Any leads on how to peak Coinbases interest in Steem? Maybe a initiative where we have people write why they want Steem on coinbase? Obviously, if we had a direct connect I am employee that would be great.

I have exchanged numerous emails with them, they said that the development team needs to contact them and fill out the application forms. Whether or not the development team has already done that is up for debate, they said long ago that they did but not sure they have tried much since then and the coins that Coinbase has listed since that time may make a steem listing more likely now than it was then?! There were rumors that Coinbase also asked them for a listing fee which they were unwilling to pay (also part of the rumor), but I haven't seen anything to verify whether or not Coinbase asks for a listing fee.

I think the first step is to get Inc to apply for a listing again(if they already have). Then if that doesn't work I think we get the community to contact them over and over requesting steem to show there is demand from their customers/people for the coin...

That strategy may have been how XRP got listed.

steem is already on coinbase, its just not tradable yet

Ha, I think you know what I mean. Listed and tradeable on Coinbase.

Let me know if I can be of any help...
