We already have a full custom made API for Coingecko to their proprietary specs already created and fully functional, and have gone through a number of form submissions, as well as requests for them to start tracking some of our internal market frontend (like Mahdi and others' interfaces), all of which have been rejected at least once or more. The Coingecko submission process, in a word, sucks. There are no reps, no actionable feedback provided with any rejections, and cascading tiers of forms and info all needing completion and minimum submission waiting times all complicating the matter. I've got pages, and pages, and pages of work and stats and sheets done in anticipation of finally closing the book on this as well as getting a better spread of our own interfaces listed there.
A great example from the past few weeks was that our CG page had a malicious Discord link on it, and despite me submitting multiple times from the actual hive.io url, my form requests to correct were rejected until I went into their telegram and discord and caused a public disturbance. It took more than 2 weeks to change the Discord link on their site to match the one on hive.io, even after they were informed and well aware of a phishing danger AND at least one known user was compromised wholly.
Long story short, the great service and personable team behind the scrappy upstart Coingecko is long gone, replaced with an awful, inefficient automated Google form hell that I'm slowly untangling and working around 👍
It would be very smart of our interfaces to use internal feeds or witness calculations rather than rely on CG for HBD, so hopefully SPL and Peakd change that. If you do believe you have any viable listing options we're not already working on, feel free to let me know, as most of the final work in this area ends up with me at the end of the day and I've got most of the documentation and negotiations pre-prepared. I'm happy to help.
TL:DR; these changes as well as a custom made api for CG already submitted, this should fixed when they finally work through and accept all the submissions we have provided them.
