RE: Lets ban together to make STEEM available EVERYWHERE!
Have you tried emailing or calling them, socky?
Maybe we need to get up an on-line petition.
I'll set it up and post it here, if you think we should (and if you'll back me up.)
Most exchanges don't have a phone number to call. If they do, it will be for technical support. There won't be a person that can deal with decision making.
As for a petition, we need leverage. Poloniex has cut their fees presumably due to lack of customers and growing competition. They have an opportunity to get old customers and new ones as Steemit community grows. After all, we are their customer base.
Poloniex was bought by Circle. They raised a large part of their funds from investors of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs investors are in the business to make money. I feel that their investment could go down in flames when two things happen.
In the future, we would have the leverage to put them out of business. Right now, all we can do is appeal to their greed. That is our leverage.
@surpassinggoogle has a campaign to get STEEM listed on Indonesian exchange with a video "Ulog" from users asking to list Steem on the exchange. He is combining 200 videos of Steemit users to present to the exchange.
If you wanted to start a petition of some sort, it can bring attention to your blog, followers, and rewards. I highly recommend starting some form of petition. I will send traffic your way.
Thanks for the detailed and interesting reply. It seems that if the only leverage that we really have is appeals to greed, that a petition may be just a "feel good"proposition for us, now that I think about it.
They don't even need to receive or acknowledge the petition if they don't want to do so, right? I'm not interested in using this issue to bring attention to me, I want to do something to help get Poloniex off the fence and supporting our currency. Not sure, on second thought, a petition would do anything.
Glad to see we're working on Indonesian. I bet 1/5th of newbies signing up now are from Aceh Province. Not sure why that place in particular, but....
