1 GV, not bad ;)
I'm working on ethersteem.com exchange and it should be done in 3-5 weeks. The goal is to list ERC20 tokens pegged to STEEM (ETHSTEEM) to many exchanges that support only ERC20 tokens.
I will start negotiating with Kucoin (1,237 BTC (4M $) trade volume in last 24h, 9 trading pairs (BTC, ETH, KCS, USDT, TUSD, PAX, USDC, DAI, NEO)) when I will be done with development.
That is great, but it is not STEEM or SBD. We already have a token pegged to STEEM using the Waves platform.
Why don't you just try to get STEEM listed?
Because they list only ERC20 tokens

bitcoin, litecoin, EOS, Tron, should not be on that exchange then
I was wrong, KuCoin can list coins.
Many exchanges including KuCoin wants to talk only to CEO or other "decision makers" in coin's team. Since it's hard to contact Steemit's team, I decided that it's easier to create pegged ERC20 token where I'm also "decision maker".
If this challenge was easy, someone would have accomplished it by now. I am fully aware of how difficult it is. As I recall, the challenge was to get STEEM or SBD listed on a major exchange. Creating your own token and getting that listed on an exchange was not the challenge. I understand that you are trying to get around the technicalities with the exchange, but what you are creating is something that only a few people would use. In general, it would not improve STEEM visibility, trading volume, price, accessibility, or availability.
I would give you my vote for doing this, but I can’t justify telling the community you were successful at getting STEEM listed on a major exchange when you instead got your token listed.
I understand.
Problem it that most exchanges wants listing fees that can be up to tens of thousands dollars. 1,000 MV witness vote would give up to 5 SP per week more to low ran witness, so it's not worth to spend 10,000$ to list STEEM for only 1GV vote. Even top 20 witnesses get only $2k per month now.
The problem is that many exchanges don't list coins, only ERC20 tokens, so it's impossible to list STEEM. They are mostly smaller exchanges, but even if they have only 100k users each, it's something. I know it's not the same as STEEM.
Why don’t you talk with Ned? As a witness, you can be one of the three executives that communicate with the exchange.
By the way the low returns as a witness is due in part by price of STEEM. It would be a different story if the price of STEEM were $10 or $20. There is more value in participating than just the witness votes.
