After spending a few days playing with the core Grin wallet and wallet713, we decided to live by the edge and implement donation addresses in Grin on coingecko.com
Reason why we are doing so is that we thought in the old days, bitcoin addresses were placed around websites/blogs which became the basis of people’s curiosity. So we thought how about putting this up as it may create the same effect to get more people to get curious about Grin.
but frankly why do you list hotbit and even with highest volume? I hope you know their volume is fake and they are a wash trading scam exchange with fake orders. It takes a long time to get your orders filled, it’s not as it is with proper exchanges. Actually you are supporting them directly by listing them on your big site, coingecko, so I am disappointed with you. You are guilty too. why do you do it
Our role is to attempt to provide all information at hand for a given cryptocurrency.
We do not endorse or promote a single exchange as we are displaying all exchanges that are trading Grin.
More availability of information is definitely advantageous to make a decision, at the end we hope that everyone do their own research ultimately when making trades.
Nonetheless we are closely following up on this issue as we have received a lot of similar feedback like yours on the exchange.
@coingecko Great initiative! Could you update the donation address? Who knows, you might receive some grin.
Also the links to Grin website and socials need updating.
