Hi guys

I'm unaffiliated with the XCP team but have been a bystander for a little while now. I have some more free time on my hands recently and shall be becoming more active in this community. I see good things ahead.

I don't like to condense things down to a matter of prices (since counterparty operates independelty of speculation) however whilst I've been largely attracted by counterpartys fundamentals-- what it offers today and what it can continue to offer have been disappointed with the coins market performance; I feel it desperately deserves more market and mindshare. "Deserves" isn't a term I throw around often in the crypto-sphere, because in most cases the genuinely interesting projects have become recognized over time, even if that time-span is measured in years. XCP has been an exception- currently valued at 0.05% of Ethereums market cap. Out of hundreds of projects- XCP is the one that has left me the most baffled.

one things stands out to me- many major projects have a presence on some of the more recently 'bigger' international exchanges such as and that many traders and buyers have left the US based exchanges for a multitude of reasons to focus on these. At least- many international buyers in APAC region have flocked to these platforms. Hidden away outside of these platforms declining away in the depths of CMC is equivalent to being on page 35 of google, like it or not there is some truth in that statement. It's not that the project is bad, is that it's visibility is low. There's not been PR campaigns, It's never been about hype.

I've recently been in discussion with a larger exchange in regards to a possible XCP listing. I am under the impression nobody has ever been in touch before. probably it was never considered an option due to financial constraints.

Here's the more interesting part- Listing fees and so on are generally under NDA in their scenario, but *what I can sayis- based on discussion there is the potential for the negotiation of a very .. realistic fee based on the projects legitimacy and long-standing history. *

However. We all know counterparty does not have a leadership which is sitting on premined fortunes. If such a listing would take place the ONLY way it would happen is with a group chip in to fund such a listing. I believe firmly that spread out, all who chip in will see their funds recouped - with counterparty at nearly an all time low, and a future burgeoning digital token space this aids XCP in sticking round and evolving.

Now I'm not generally a supporter of the notion of having to pay for listing. I would prefer that wasn't the case. But there's no use ignoring reality. You need massive hype to be added to major exchanges without parting with a cost. And the possible fees that have been quoted are not egregious.

In short I think counterparty would benefit highly from listing from one of the more recently prominent exchanges and having an extra liquidity source. New entrants will discover the project, optimism will increase,increased community participation should well follow, further ability for bounties to mean something tangible. Renewed energy. Just some positivity. Instead of (perceived) stagnation, however incorrect that last one may be.

I'm making this post at this time to gauge interest.. Is this a good idea? If so, How serious are supporters to making it happen?.

At this time there is already a new exchange willing to list XCP I figure, let's start with a smaller fish to see if the XCP community wants to advance forward- to put some money where their mouths are. Please see comment below for more info on that.

How too know for what period a sell order remains buyable?
