Topic: [ANN][Blocknet] truly decentralized exchange | token ecosystem infrastructure - page 160. (Read 1103312 times)

Yes, in due course.
It would feature milestones, not dates.

Will there be a roadmap?

We shall carefully monitor the developments ! 

And the pump begins !!!

No.

Thanks for the info guys! Sounds really interesting and promising 

Here is an example taken from the Blocknet slack channel: "Again what makes Blocknet so crazy interesting is that not only is it a decentralized / Distributed exchange. It can actually do something the centralized exchanges cant do. It can route service calls between the blockchains API. Proved in the Proof of Concept of sending a text message from XC to BitSwift.
If people actually realized the value of that function as a platform we would be sitting at 10mil evaluation and devs would be flocking to help Dan.."


Also a UI is coming.  Join slack for the latest...

That's a very feasible question. I know I/O coin also has a decentralized exchange up their pipeline but haven't made it. Although I'm curious if it may be more user friendly than blocknet's?

Perhaps if the exchange GUI had a feature that automatically asks you what pairs you want to trade, it will automatically ask and guide via  a wizard which downloads and installs it for you, with some kind of wizard pop up for guidance which can be turned off? It shouldn't be too difficult but if its neglected to be done then yes, certainly it will remain obscure, although no doubt any real crypto enthusiast would have only moderate problems using it.

In interesting fact is that, although I use the word incorrectly, I use it in another sense: that well, cryptocurrencies are "server side" goodies. People who lack technical programmatical knowledge or background I think are not really directly influenced by cryptos and don't need them - they're living their lives quite fine without them so far.

to what extent decentralized applications and networks will become adopted in the mainstream I think depends on a mentality shift, because quite simply people I think well, can be divided into two categories: people who understand the potential of decentralized internet storage, applications and transfers, and then those simply put, who don't, at all.

Some would argue its more trouble than what its worth? although I suppose if these protocols are adopted slowly but surely they could become as standard fair as HTTP, etc.
From static data to dynamic data processing I think, although this is really a sweeping statement...

I do have a question though - what exactly would be the benefit of interoperability of several blockchains, I don't quite clearly understand though how that would work. Its quite remarkable - i'm no programmer but i think some kind of theoretical explanation would be in order for us lay folk.

Where can I find a roadmap or a future feature list of this coin? Thinking about investing, but want to know where it's heading.
I've seen the howto for the decentralized exchange. In my opinion this is a great achivement, but too complex to install or use for the less tech-savy user. Are there any plans to make it more user friendly?

BLOCK trades on Poloniex and Bittrex.

You can trade using our decentralised exchange by:
- downloading xbridgep2p
- downloading the wallets you want as your trading pairs

Do u have the exchange site?

But its so blatant! .  The EXACT same tag line and they even ripped off the devs exact words for their site / article without any kind of permission. 

Our world is full of copycats. Looks like they forked Blocknet.

Wow what a rip off of Blocknet. Even using the same tag line.

I am still holding my blocks from long time because this will be bigger in upcoming days, all features are about to come out and very soon it will start rising, the potential of this is very huge and it would change the life of strong believer, Dev team is still on hard job and bringing the feature to the world.

I think your thought process went the wrong way on a one-way lane
i am a user of coinigy, i like them ( they are not perfect)  So i can't tell from their code but as i gather it works like this:
coinigy pulls the order book from various exchanges and displays them in they own format (looking better and more usability than e.g. poloniex)
coinigy hooks to the api of any exchange to make trades and housekeeping (check if orders are still there etc)
so the only thing that needs convincing is your second point : - convince them to pull the order book data out of xbridgep2p
plus a second one : convince them to accept blocknets api  (i think that needs to be written ?)

In any case, i think that over time there will be tons of trading apps that can hook on to any exchange. Something to consider for the future

Edit: I do realize that using an app like this goes against the idea of decentralization. But in this case, coinigy is a service and does not hold any money. in fact you have to pay montly fee to use it.  but for that you get the graphs etc. So its a tradeoff, where the real question is how far decentralization should go.

I've been thinking a little further about Coinigy. We'd have to do the following:
- convince them to run xbridgep2p and a bunch of wallets
- convince them to pull the order book data out of xbridgep2p
- convince them to generate charts, etc. from the data
- hit Coinigy's API from each trader's local dapp, in order to plug into Coinigy to get the data
- keep trading an entirely local (decentralised) phenomenon, as it currently is
- get our dapp to load the Coinigy page, in an entirely integrated way, so that traders can use our DX and whichever centralised exchanges they want to, with no friction.

Basically I'd want to keep Coinigy on the edge of the network. Which is complicated, but doable.

Probably a massively expensive idea to attempt. :-)

Blocknet still the best ever.

Yes, thanks, great suggestion.

How about just integrating TradingView? After all, this is a decentralised exchange, so it's not especially useful to get data from Coinigy about centralised exchanges.
