I prodded it with the following rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (companies) requirement. " It was deprodded by User:Mark Biter (WP:SPA, creator) with the following rationale "The article has been updated with secondary, objective refferals to rewiews written by external parties.". I disagree. All sources are from the niche, wall-garden bitcoin online trade journals with dubious reporting standards. I see no reason to assume they are reliable and not republish press releases. As I discussed in my Signpost Op-Ed, this is a good example of Yellow-Pages like company spam. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment - while there is no specific guideline for Cryptocurrency related articles, one view is that coverage in "trade rags" (Coindesk, CoinTelegraph, etc) is good, but not enough alone to pass notability tests. There should be at least one other instance of significant coverage of the topic in a non-trade reliable source.  Perhaps someone with knowledge of Polish-language reliable sources could help in the standard AFD search...  --  1Wiki8 ........................... (talk) 20:22, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete -- corporate spam; and presumably the OP is well versed in the Polish RS so if they could not find anything, then this is a rather hopeless case. K.e.coffman (talk) 07:36, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
