Topic: [ANN] – TradeYourBitcoin.com – The Decentralized Exchange (Read 3577 times)

Lot's of new sellers have listed their contact info in the database so if you're looking to buy or sell stop by the site and see if you can make a local trade and avoid the banking system, it's associated fees and lack of privacy. Cheers!

Thanks! Will do.

May want to stick a title in the head tags.

Sorry to hear about the losses to people who've had money on the various exchanges. This is why building your local trading networks is so important. The user base steadily increasing on TradeYourBitcoin.com so this can only be good to help facilitate local exchanges. I'm not interested in making money off of this site, I'm only interested in making bitcoin stronger and more liquid through local trading networks. If you haven't listed yourself as a local trader consider doing so - that way you can avoid the centralized exchanges as much as possible.

Interesting project...

Thanks! I've just done another "person-to-person" exchange and I really like cutting out the banker middlemen. I've been building a personal email list of local traders that I've conducted trades with in the past and I send out an email notice whenever I need to buy or sell. When I do this I don't have too much difficulty getting orders filled fairly quickly. Also, a simple craigslist posting has worked for me too.

I'm a fan, although I haven't done a trade person-to-person yet. Good work!

I've just concluded a local, person-to-person exchange - now that's "personal banking"! The best part? No bank fees and no exchange fees!

Say "NO" to banks!

FYI: If you tried to list yourself as a seller on the site a couple of days ago you might have had a problem getting listed due to a minor code error. Everything is working fine now so please feel free to list yourself again and expand your trading opportunities!

Remember: "Say 'NO' to banks!"

We've just added the major exchange rates to the page. Working on some other improvements as well

Fixed! I'm sending you some coin for the "heads up" - thanks!

What we need is a decentralized network linking all the decentralized Bitcoin exchanges.

Thanks, we'll check this out.

Yes, if BB outlaws bitcoin exchanges then exchangers would have to go underground and "in person" exchanges with people you don't know would be vulnerable to "sting" operations. You would have to trade only with people you trust and the same risks would exist as would with any other banned item. All the more reason to develop your trusted trading partners now. Of course no one should break a law because we all know that every law is completely moral and justified - just ask Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, Pol Pot, Mao, etc., etc.

Good point, I suspect this will occur as well if the current trends continue. Perhaps staging an .onion based site within the Tor network would be prudent.

Case in point re: banks (bitcoin mentioned at 22:40):

Thanks! The price signals are there - they are just not public. Price is negotiated directly between the parties. Just like the prices for outlawed drugs. They are not posted publicly but price is still communicated throughout the market with every transaction. With that said, general market prices for reference are also available at BitcoinWatch.com and other sites. We'll soon post the current exchange rates from the major exchanges on the site for convenience though.

When banksters and statists step up their attacks on bitcoin by locking users out of the banking system (which they've already started), the demand for local cash transactions will rise. It is not a matter of "if" but only a matter of "when".

That is why it is so important for people to develop their local trading networks now. Don't become dependent on the banking system for your bitcoin trades. When you trade cash for bitcoin - you are trading cash for cash - one is digital and one is physical.

Money in a bank is simply a promissory note from the bank stating they will pay it back to you when you demand it (hence the term "demand deposits"). We all know how good banks and central planners are at keeping their promises! I prefer to have cash in hand over money in the bank. I think many Greeks, Argentines, Zimbabweans and everybody else who's lived through a national bankruptcy or hyperinflation would agree with me.

Congrats on the new site

Why I think that localbitcoins.com is better is because your site lacks price signaling - it is the very basic need for functional market.

Other than that, it might well be that people are not that interested in trading bitcoins with cash, after all. But we will probably see about that in the future.

Yes, that's why bitcoin was invented!
