FTC/USD on BTC-e a possibility?

zythen

I really really really want to see that happen. I don’t like being tied to BTC at all.

I really really really want - write to btc-e … tell em about the positive aspects of adding ftc/usd.
Make a online petitioe pro ftc/usd
Mobilize as many as you can to write btc-e
…

Good luck, u can count on me

In respect to btc-e, it can be difficult getting USD in. So btc to ftc does make sense, but we want to move away from being tied to btc. I think getting ftc on other exchanges (only know of btc-e and vircurex) will definitely help this

I’ll have a word with Justabit/Wesphilly and see what they think. Maybe we can get it on the activism’s.

Just as a side note you can already do FTC/USD on vircurex, however it is very low volume at the moment. We could all ditch BTC-e if they don’t offer it.

There is a major push planned ** after ** one our new systems comes online. I’ll make sure Wesphily sets up an Activism item to get it handled.

What can i say except… ;D

Just thought this would be a good topic to stay active, whether on btc-e or other exchanges.

FTC generally has the third highest trade volume on btc-e, it would be great to align it to a fiat currency, as it has shown its independence in trade.

How can we as a group contact btc-e and ask for this to be implemented, or do we need to reach a higher trading level?

I sent a mail to BTC-e a while regarding the possibility of FTC/USD and received a very detailed and enlightening response from them which i have copied below. It’s a long read but well worth the time i feel…

So as you can see it’s a very complex issue. ;D

I think you have to see it from their point of view.

If we get crap like we did last week and often, it would be more of a risk to exchange cash for FTC.

I think getting advance check pointing in and UNOCS running smooth… then it will be easier to achieve.

I’m all for ftc/usd but I don’t think any major exchange like gox or btc-e will consider it unless we at least live past 6 months with a good sustained hash rate. We were very lucky to get ftc onto BTC-e in the first place. Advance checkpointing will help alleviate some of the fears but 6 months of plugging along and taking the hits will be the deciding factor.

pyxis

Thanks Nutnut for sending that.

So we need to be trading longer and at a higher level, which is fair enough.
