Hello, I asked Shapeshift if they could add Decred to their cryptocurrency list here is the answer : Cameron (ShapeShift) Thanks for reaching out. I have added Decred to our discovery list, and our development team will look into it when they begin to decide on our next round of coin additions. We do receive several dozen requests a day for new coins to be added so can not assure you we will add your coin, but we will look into it and see if it makes sense for us to add at this time. Any new coins we add will be announced on our social media channels as well as our email newsletters. Please feel free to connect with us: Newsletter Sign-up: http://eepurl.com/bdbzO1 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shapeshiftexchange Twitter: https://twitter.com/ShapeShift_io If everyone that reads this message send shapeshift an email to support Decred, it may be added on the next round of coin additions. I am myself a new user, and i am impressed with the features, especially the web wallet ! (devs should add a disclaimer about firefox though, it only works with chrome for me) It's by far my easiest experience with a new coin. Usually I have to download stuff, compile, etc. With the decred's web wallet it's super easy. This coin is greatly understated.
Just remember to be nice when contacting exchanges (and similar things). Early on we had some over-enthusiastic people badger some of the exchanges and that never helps.
