FTC/USD on BTC-e a possibility?
-
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

TTT
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?

[/quote]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.

Thanks Nutnut for sending that.
So we need to be trading longer and at a higher level, which is fair enough.
