HitBTC is down for more than a year.
SPS for listing Steem in exchanges would be interesting. A witness can take initiative to contact and quote, then propose a SPS. Once granted, witness can guide and pay the exchange to add Steem.

In my previous post I had quite a bad experience just trying to get a small $200 proposal over the line trying to reward a dev who did some good work. The SPS unfortunately hasn't got much funds as it still needs to fill up and will take a few months, also it demonstrated to me just how centralised the SPS voting is, which basically relies on a handful of whales to have the time and inclination to vote for it enough to get it over the refund proposal so it can be funded.
Some stakeholders have also expressed their disinterest in private chat for funding exchange listings, I was sadly left feeling a bit disillusioned with the SPS and currently share the same fears some of the general public has about it becoming a boys club for whales, devs and witnesses, even non-dev witnesses are discriminated against participating it seems.
I see your point, but the SPS is only a few days old. This is by no means the end stage of it.
Imagine what it will be like in 2 years when everyone is used to it being funding good projects...
I would make the listing proposal with yearlong funding with the promise to repay overfunding. It is still worth the try in my opinion. It may take a few months to get the funding but I think we will get the funding if we give it a few months time.
It's hard for everyone to think about the endstage of technology, this SPS is still a toddler... of course, the current state is a little disillusioning.
But that it would depend heavily on whale votes was clear from the beginning when we knew it would be stake weighted. It think that's not a bad thing, it just needs time to gather momentum for some good proposals.
Thanks for the perspective, you are correct, it is just teething problems for now. I guess we need to give it time, and great idea regarding putting in a proposal over a long period of time.
