Thank you halibit, that really is a great news.
About the new coins, why don't we just wait for them to mature? for example, Auroracoin has to distribute the 50% 1st before we add them. For Particlecoin, they need to release their final version of their wallet before adding them.
There are several exchanges out there that is like cryptsy trading all the altcoins. Having a lot of competition is hard. If we focus on the top 5 coins, our main competition would be this:
https://holytransaction.com/ - they are aiming to be like coinbase. I think we should try futures for lump sum speculation, or atleast options.
I would like to request 2 features on the exchange, deposit via private key and a built in paper wallet for cold storage.
