quite ambitious indeed. nothing wrong with that, but it might cost us way over $1mil in fees to achieve those goals. it would make sense to approach this the other way around - set a community-led budget for exchange listings and work our way from that.
one idea is to see if exchanges will take fees in $INDEX + $INDEX listing. the rationale is simple - listing DPI should drive meaningful volume (depending on the exchange) and therefore higher fees for the Coop. Paying fees in $INDEX will align incentives and might incentivise the exchange to push DPI.
another idea is to consider this issue in the contest of the CoinShares launch - ETH/BTC/gold might be easier to list on CEXs. should we focus funds on that? or will CoinShares be driving CGCI-LV listings? something to ponder.
