You see, you are correct. An open community is wonderful. Also, please note some of the OG community team members have not voted yet
With that being said, there are much better options than these random centralized exchanges that are being proposed. To me, all that is a waste of community funds. Paying to get listed on a crappy centralized exchange for a 100% decentralized, ASIC resistant coin such as BTCZ is just flat out retarded and irresponsible in my opinion. That’s just my 2 cents, and I hold them to extreme values.
I’m sure more of you are just hoping to get more volume to hopefully boost price so you can sell some, so I’m going to go look at these exchanges myself and give my full humble opinion;
Folgory.com (I haven’t found anything good worth writing about without actually sending funds over to exchange):
#1: The page took too long to load (my speed test results while torrenting files, running full node wallets, streaming audio and mining were just
PING ms 34,
DOWNLOAD Mbps 199.80
UPLOAD Mbps 11.52
see here https://www.speedtest.net/result/11493224805)
#2 Folgory has hardly any interest according to Google trends. However take this as a grain of salt because even I don’t use Google search. (https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=folgory&geo=US)
#3 When I click the login/register button on folgory.com it bounces back and forth between loading the dashboard and login pages in a continuous loop, so I can’t even open the page in Brave browser with shields all down.
#4 Upon loading the page in firefox browser from a foreign VPN, KYC verification is still required. For a privacy coin, this is a no-go!
#5 The “White Lable” tab leads to a dead page https://whitex.exchange/
#6 The Folgory Debit card costs $20, so you’re meaning to tell me that you want to give away $20 just to be able to convert your BTCZ back into dirty fiat currency and pay more fees when doing so?
#7 On the Launchpad page, there is nothing Active, Upcoming, or Going
#8 On the Staking page, the staking return rates are way lower than any DeFi platform I’ve ever staked anything on, and I am experienced.
#9 The FLG page doesn’t even load, at least not for me. In case you haven’t tried, here’s the link https://flg.folgory.com/staking
#10 If 9 red flags wasn’t enough for you, here’s number 10; on the List A Coin page, which I read first and saved for last. “We dedicate many energies and resources to keep our systems always updated with highest security standard for ensuring to our users a safe and succesfull experience.” the exert can be found by reading the aforementioned link."
But if 10 still isn’t enough for you, I’ll dig deeper.
#11 BTCZ has seniority over this exchange, so why on earth and who in their right f’king mind would want to pay to get listed on an exchange who has only been around since the Q2 of 2019?

The exchange smells of exit scam! Have you ever even experienced one? I would think not, or all of you who voted yes to this shit wouldn’t have.
So please, DYOR before voting. For the love of bitcoinZ
I would say this system stinks of the typical Russian exchange exit scam, however I can’t prove the Russian part, and no offense to the Russian people (I actually think they have a pretty awesome accent), but the country code of the admin and tech comes back as Iceland. That still may not be accurate, so I’ll base #10 off of age of the exchange.
Now I would like to tell the OG BTCZ community veterans one last thing, especially you @VandarGR, @Rokmikuz, @Monobody, @Vegan2Go:
I am fairly disappointed that either of you would vote yes to the standard or the full pack.
Goodnight.
