RE: Steem - Ignoring New Exchange Listings would be a Huge Mistake
I think as a community, with the SPS. we can come together and create a voluntary team to go out and create/renew relations with exchanges. BTS just got a stable coin pairing on Binance, which is something we need.
I am in talks with several exchanges, you are talking to exchanges, I know a few other people doing this for Steem as well. So we pretty much have the people power to get this done, we just need to come together and make a focused group effort. I am for creating a discord grp or even steem community focused on this.
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...
So what I've done with an exchange I am working with, no guarantees but I do have a verbal agreement from Biki that they will list us.
Most exchanges will not list you instantly and in fact, want a big event to launch on. SMTs is a perfect event for an exchange to hype up our listing.
What I am doing is laying out all the groundwork. These exchanges are going to ask for a hefty listing fee (if they charge one) - this is where we leverage the community and say if they are interested in a grassroots marketing campaign. I volunteer my SP, we can use the SPS to sweeten the deal. Lots can be done right now.
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?
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.
steem is already on coinbase, its just not tradable yet
Let me know if I can be of any help...

swiss exchange with dollar onramp and steem listed
Sounds like a good idea to progress Dan. @thecryptodrive has been contacting exchanges as well I believe.
@birdinc used to handle this I believe when he was with Steemit Inc. Not sure who took over that role when he left.
I got Steemp on Newdex and aggroed paid for a 7000 steemp airdrop. You can buy back cheap steemp once it is released more . the gateway from @privex works well now, and you can send it to steemoneosio with memo STEEMP steemaccount get ur steem or withdraw here
send steemp to @steem-tokens with memo "EOSSTEEM eosaccount" and get EOS STEEMP

Good stuff.
