Maid survived delistings before. Will it survive this one?

There are a few on here who would like nothing more than people panicking and pointing to the sky falling, but what will that achieve? Will it get code written any quicker? Will it assure the team that they are appreciated? No, it will achieve the opposite.
I, like many others, want the project to succeed. I see that this is bad news, but there are other exchanges out there. Moreover, exchanging from MAID to BTC doesnāt require anything fancy - it is just a direct trade of goods, with no interface to banking system etc needed. It shouldnāt be expensive or risky to do, but the liquidity gravitates to one place, which is now no longer poloniex.
The last time I used poloniex, I couldnāt even sell to GBP and transfer to my account. I had to sell to BTC and then transferred to fiat via bitstamp (long standing account there). If poloniex donāt want the bother any more, that is easy fees for some other exchange and I hope one of the others step up to encourage it - they have just been gifted a load of business.

This is sinking like a stone and although price may mean very little now the fact that no market exists is a major issue.
You are wrong. HitBTC and Bittrex exist.

Someone is shaking the tree, imo. There isnāt usually nearly enough interest in MAID to warrant such volume, at such short notice. Someone wants people to panic and are looking for cheap MAID, imo.

See how the whole market of 0.22% of ALL MAID disappearsā¦ ahahah. This is a market of traders only. Everyone else holds!

Iām not trying to panic anyone but this is very real.
Additionally our first concern should not be that developers have their head pet and ego stroked. While thatās all nice on the surface that is not what anyone is here for. Secondly, itās not as if this is a new āoh shit where did that come fromā issue. It has been an issue for a very long time and chosen to be ignored which is why I think people have the right to be upset. I donāt care about the price for my own gain at this point but without the funds the project may stop should they not have what they need. I do care about that and hopefully seeing this to completion.

The truth is that 99% of ALL MAID is in steady hands.

It doesnāt matter whose hands itās in if it canāt be sold at a price that can fund the project effectively

It isnāt about stroking egos. It is about not saying the sky is falling, when the reality is nothing has changed other than a market place has decided not to trade MAID for BTC.
It isnāt great news, but I can trade BTC for MAID without the help from anyone else, should the need arise. Like I keep repeating, MAID to BTC isnāt the hard bit, it is MAID to fiat, which can done via BTC through many, many, exchanges.

Itās tough though because you need market makers to provide liquidity and now that is basically evaporating before our eyes. This is really not great news.

Hey man, if shitkoin like HEX can be put on 11 exchanges in 10 days, how hard is it really? We just have to move on ERC20ā¦

Iād wonder who is actually selling at this price? A near 50% discount, within hours of the announcement, of one exchange stopping trading in 5 weeks? Bad news, yes, but seems a bit extreme.

We all put money in a community pot to fund the transition with professionals from the community overseeing it.

Aye, if push comes to shove, liquidity can be found in a few ways. Which is why this all seems like a bit of an overreaction.

Tether is currently active on Bitcoin Omni & Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token, and recently on Tron as far as i remember, new Tether assets such as the offshore Chinese yuan (CNH) are ERC-20 only with no Omni equivalent. So do Poloniex still support any of the Omni tokens? or are they just using ERC-20 Tether now?

It complicates things and there is a reason why they didnāt want to go that route but Iād agree we could see MAID ACTUALLY being traded and across many more exchanges than before. I think
@maidsafe may need a temporary hire just to solve this issue because they and us honestly could almost certainly only benefit from it. Hell the POA network has a tool that makes creating a ERC20 token a 5 minute process.
I think this is it. Home Ā· poanetwork/token-wizard Wiki Ā· GitHub Used to be a working website but seems to link to github now for whatever reason.
