Yes, it would have been a major bummer to lose Bittrex. Any chance we can get Blurt listed on there?

Case Closed - Bittrex satisfied with my "source of funds" response
@megadrive is driving Blurt business strategy and direction.
I'm just helping out as a Witness/Non-Managing Founder with connections here and there, and waiting to launch my own Blurt flavored fork/airdrop called Zapata.
I did talk to a decision maker at Bittrex about Blurt, but this was pre-launch Blurt, before our internal hardfork, if you will, where the Blurt team (and small community) split into a tough decision whether or not to give Steemit the airdrop. It's very hard for new projects to get the attention of a decision maker at Bittrex.
I thought that giving Steemit the airdrop would make for a better story that we could sell more effectively to try and secure no-fee exchange deals like Hive did.
Blurt ended up forking out the Steemit stake and leveraging it to build the Blurt community.
Does that mean Zapata will have an easier time listing considering it is keeping all stake intact?
On another note Bittrex is getting sued by some of the current Hive guys and I wouldn't be surprised if bittrex wants nothing more to to do with things relating to steem/hive/blurt/zapata...
"Does that mean Zapata will have an easier time listing considering it is keeping all stake intact?"
This was my market assumption from talking to connections in the media and industry, specifically at exchanges, they liked the story, but we missed the opportunity how things ended up playing out.
Now if/when Zapata ever launches, it will likely be a fork of Blurt that I myself will build a team around and take to market in a very aggressive and strategic way.

I've tried to cultivate a good relationship with Bittrex over the years, or as good as it can be for a crypto BD professional tied to multiple projects like me.
I thought zapata was a fork of steem with a snapshot taken at the same time as blurt?
It was supposed to launch as such but was delayed due to technical difficulty with Blurt and now we are not certain when it will launch or what the economics will look like as that market opportunity seems to have passed us by.
If it is going to be a fork of blurt, then it won't include the steemit,inc stake by default, correct?
I want to do a minnow fork of Blurt and cap all accounts at 33k and/or something to target and reward active users on Blurt.
I see. Looks like there is some discord among the founders? Difference of opinion on direction?
