Freiexchange I’ve watched for a while, probably traded there in the past. It’s a good exchange, useful, well made like freebitcoins, etc. But it’s purpose is to unload or create liquidity for bags.
Your assessment of purpose is off the mark. Fedde was quite explicit about his original motivation, that of providing an exchange for the otherwise-untradable Freicoin - hence the name of the exchange. Since then he has been variously amenable to other altcoins in a similar position regards lack of listing and was kind enough to respond positively to my pleas to add (firstly) SLM and (secondly) DTC.

There seems to be something of a contradiction in your argument - "the financial part is a function of its success" yet "it’s purpose is to unload or create liquidity for bags". Isn't this how it inevitably works?

What's missing here is a practically useful definition of the distinction between "ethically created useful coins" and "a lot of shitcoins" and not just personal opinion.

Establishing and operating a cryptocurrency exchange is exactly that - "operating". It obviously does not necessarily require the owner/operator to possess technical skills, merely the ability to commission others to deploy them.

BTW, your notions about AI and its possible role in cryptocurrency are rather fanciful, I'm sorry to have to tell you.

That’s an excellent point of course. A person can speculate about how the coin economy might develop.

There is little doubt that the bigger trend will be towards ai coins initially and eventually towards ai networks developed through taskwork coins. The initial ‘bitcoin’ idea of ‘it’s money that does nothing’ won’t last. The ‘ethereum’ idea of ‘developers are your leaders’ won’t last.

One problem with the current trajectory towards ai coins is the lack of any guidance in the broader crypto economy.


This is noted very precisely. The industry is in for a big change soon. New high-tech projects will come to the market. Bitcoin and Ethereum will have to do something incredible to maintain their leading position.

It’s a good idea if somebody does it right. It has to be done by a person who has technical skills and likes math coins etc
The core problem is that setting up and running a crypto exchange is a security nightmare, is extremely time-consuming and is largely thankless (both socially and financially). The upshot of this is that the whole idea is quite unattractive to someone with technical skills and who likes math coins.

AFAICT, Freebitcoins and Freiexchange are the closest realisations of your concept, the former has been introduced upthread in Bayareacoins' own words, the latter was originally created to provide a market for Freicoin, subsequently expanded modestly (in cryptoexchange terms) and continues to concentrate on providing an exchange service to many, if not most, continuing vintage altcoins.


How relevant is the launch of new exchanges today? It seems to me that the existing problems with attracting new users and with new coins and liquidity ... only bots trade. Of course, something needs to be changed. Everyone is waiting for real innovation and new technologies.

I would be very careful buying domains from a un-trusted 3rd party that is just asking for trouble.

I would also agree an exchange that lists academic, medical, mathematics, or any for good cause coins listings would be something a lot of people would be interested in.

I don’t understand why to take risks and buy cryptocurrency in incomprehensible schemes from incomprehensible people. Today, there are dozens or even hundreds of completely legal and safe methods.

Good to see gapcoin has been kept alive. If somebody wants to make an exchange that features only high quality math and science coins they can use one or more of the coin domains

...snip...

I’ve talked with a few people on this thread in past years under different usernames, so I would tend to trust them more to make an honest math / science / ai / indigenous exchange.

...snip...

Math / science coins = gapcoin type coins, gridcoin, primecoin, medical coins that use hashing power to compute protein folding, high quality conservation type coins, etc.

...snip...

Fair enough, although why wouldn't someone just want to register a domain name directly, instead of buying one from an 'untrusted 3rd party', and/or potentially releasing contact information !?

Some domain registers still accept 'cash in the mail' or Bitcoin etc., for increased privacy ... I'm so 2008 ...  Cheesy

Pay with Monero or just fire Bitcoins via wasabi wallet for an added protection when buying.

Think of all the people speculating on what coin is good what coin is bad if there were somewhere that online listed coins on there actual real world merit or impact would really draw in a lot of users.

I for one would love to support this idea!

My recommendation for good old coins such as GAP with markets that are new/stagnant...  Put a offer to buy $1000 worth of GAP.

Be the change you want to be... you'll be amazed by how fast things stack up when just a few fellas put $1000 down each and start battling against each other a bit.

I can't tell you how many times I've had a friend that has over 5000 BTC beat me out of 0.01 BTC!  That's why that fucker has 5000+ btc! Tongue

Be the change you want to see and be greedy AF taking profits!

https://freebitcoins.com/xchange/market/Bitcoin-Gapcoin

I don't have 5000 BTC because I created and moved markets in 2010-2011 to 'help' get the Bitcoin ball rolling ...

Realize that with Gapcoin, we have already seen Poloniex, Cryptopia, Nova Exchange etc., (i.e. been there, done that, brought the t-shirt and the mug)...

So, perhaps I will just HODL instead? Still, nothing to stop anyone else with the above recommendation.

...

I was once a profitable retail forex trader and EA developer ... maybe I will build up my own exchange again one day, circumstances permitting.

$1000 average over how long?

I mean technically if someone wanted to trade back and forth(granted they had enough gapcoin), we could theoretically accomplish that with a few people trading back and forth..Yes there is risk involved and the possibility of losing some monetary value is there but....

Coinmarketcap - https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gapcoin/ - stopped tracking Gapcoin when we were de-listed from defunct exchanges.

I've contacted them for full relisting and to link our new exchanges, but they require a $1000 avg. daily trading volume, which is fairly hard to achieve when your stuck in this chicken and egg altcoin limbo situation i.e. no exchange listing = no volume etc.,

Over 24 hours ... 7 days a week? Who knows exactly ...?



This situation is not actually acceptable.

CoinMarketCap is presenting long-term incorrect information in regards to the Gapcoin project. I have now notified them more than twice about this with a spacing of 3 to 6 months or more.

They are restricting price movement and free markets as the exchange rate is held static with the last price point they last tracked ...

Feb 6th 2019.
- https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gapcoin/

They even currently track the Freiexchange API where Gapcoin is listed https://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/freiexchange/ - but they don't track Gapcoin!

Again, CoinMarketCap is presenting additionally incorrect and miss-leading information about Gapcoin, despite being notified otherwise ...

"Hybrid - PoW & PoS" X
"Scrypt" X
"Inactive" X

Nope.

"Custom PoW - Prime Gaps"
"Active"

Time for Gapcoin Club to get some legal representation and send out some pretty pieces of headed note paper methinks ...

Relevant screenshots taken.



Moreover, Coinmarketcap seems to of 'outed' and maligned Gapcoin in favor of listing this token ... GAP(S). We are not associated with this project.

- hxxps://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/gaps/

- hxxp://gapschain.io - Again, we are not associated with this project.

The expanded Tab for their website above touts 'GAP COIN' - and currently clicking it states "coming soon!" ...

Contacting them as well. We clearly had the crypto-ticker first. A 'friendly' cease and desist notice will also likely be sent to gapschain in this regard.



Incorrect price on Coinmarketcap.com ...

There was previously no GAP market referenced there. Smiley

Yes indeed.

They also track https://coincodex.com/exchange/freiexchange/ so I've filled out the coin request (update?) form, unless you have a contact ?

Glad that XChange is listed to https://coincodex.com/exchange/xchange/  Smiley

@BayAreaCoins - I'm sure you have had time to checkout Gapcoin some more now and I think you will agree it is a great altcoin for any Bitcoin newbies!

- Faster transaction confirmation times than Bitcoin
- Useful Bitcoin based PoW
- Solid economic principals
- In-wallet mining like original BTC
- Gapcoin addresses start with a 'G', so no confusion with addresses (i.e. BCH and BSV forks *cough*).

Based on coin supply and useful PoW (development and peer review pending), Gapcoin is overall a better and more useful cryptocurrency than say Litecoin IMHO. It deserves a higher market cap. I mean I don't see Litecoin (or Bitcoin) holding a Prime Gap of Maximum known merit any time soon! The rest is just marketing and exposure.

Seriously though, what the feck is wrong with this entire crypto industry! Don't folks want to see what Gapcoin (original BTC tech. + Prime Gaps) can really do ...

University Maths Profs. get higher grants than our market cap to produce literally sweet FA!

If we get to the next Gapcoin halving and we haven't broken another Prime Gap of maximum known merit ...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_gap

I might have to hire rigetti - https://www.rigetti.com/

Jokes aside, the link between prime numbers, cryptography, RSA and quantum computing is very real ...

- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

How can we ever expect to create the genesis block for P=NPcoin if we can't even find a Prime Gap Merit above 42 ...  Grin

Tried to compil from source and failed. Used the source on Gitlab and Github both are falling to build. Using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

The code seems to need a review, and you guys dev env should get updated. Also provide static linked binaries.

Work is in progress and yes we still have a lot to do to bring this project up-to-date.

Gapcoin will compile and run on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS just fine.

The Gitlab repo. is not yet a 'trusted' source for the project!

However, could you clarify if your compile issue was related only to the newer boost libraries?

All developers are of course welcome to get involved and contribute to the Gapcoin project.

Good good! PM sent.

Thanks!

Looks good!  PM responded.

One thing you may consider is using your affiliate link.  That way you'll earn 50% of the trade fees on any account registered under you.  You can use those coins to help buy a few GAP then! Tongue

In other news:

We have completed our Gapcoin listing on our Faucet and our Swap tool as well!  

https://freebitcoins.com/faucet/ - Our faucet gives people a free way to try our GAP exchange.  We give 1 GAP every 1220 minutes if the user solves a custom "XCaptcha".  This allows new users to start trading real cryptocurrency for free fast and easy.

https://freebitcoins.com/swap/ - Swap is a great way for users to buy or sell GAP without registering for our XChange.  This service uses market orders to complete trades.  People should be mindful of the XChange books while using this service!  The advantage with Swap is that users only pay the actual miner fee spent and no more...whereas XChange charges a flat 10 GAP for all withdraws.  As the XChange liquidity grows... the Swap liquidity will grow as well!

https://freebitcoins.com/xchange/market/Bitcoin-Gapcoin - Both the Faucet and Swap lay over the heart of the system... our BTC/GAP exchange.

Anyways, thank you very much for the support and whoever sent me 420 GAP to help test the system!

I've forwarded those 420 GAP to start off the faucet for users:  https://chainz.cryptoid.info/gap/tx.dws?5c75bbb1672dfb0018d7af139414e349ba29eb37e7df5212c3a6b56a1684e42c
