@RockmanR Can these exchanges be used in the United States?

I'm not sure if it can be used by a US citizen.

ok @RockmanR, Thanks!

Hi there @RockmanR we'll need a bit of time to refine our policy for listing exchanges. We just want to let you know we've seen this and it's on our radar to discuss and decide very soon! Thanks for suggesting.

Good to hear that there is/will be due diligence for listing an exchange. Thanks for the update.

For us to list any exchange, we need the following information. Please supply and we'll be able to consider your suggestion:

**What geographical restrictions apply to this exchange?** 

<!-- If you don't know, please get in touch with the exchange. They'll likey have a list of restricted countries and jurisdictions. -->

**Which currencies are accepted by this exchange?**

<!-- If you don't know, please get in touch with the exchange. They'll likey have a list of accepted currencies -->

**Do you have any proof that they're a legitimate company**

<!-- This is a safeguard against listing any malicious sites. You could provide a link to an "About" page from the exchange that provides more information about their legal entity, or a link to an official company registration -->

**Do you have any extra information?**

<!-- Add any more info that may make a stronger case for listing this exchange. Consider years of operation, size of company, financial backing etc. -->

I've sent an email the the exchanges. If they are interested, then they'll reply back to me or to this open issue directly.
