is it still worth buying Bitcoin dark for this?

Yes, at current BTCD prices + possible low activity in the ICO till 20 November = 1 BTC investment in BTCD should give you around of 30%-35% bonus (depends of final ICO funds). The only problem is the low liquidity market in btcd/btc pair. I needed 10 days to accumulate around of 350 BTCD at 0.00415

AKA RJF - Since '14 - On line since '84
Announcement

Two-factor authentication is now possible on our ICO site.

This feature is a bit late, sorry for the delay!

Another Announcement

We have finished our second whitepaper! It will be published on Saturday.

It's titled: "EasyDEX – A Practical Native DEX"

Soon anyone can use the Iguana wallet & EasyDEX GUI to store and trade other cryptocurrencies decentrally. That is our vision and that is what we have been developing.

Thanks for the 2FA inclusion, been a bit nervous without it!  Smiley

PAX isn't gateway for fiat deposit, it is a way to have fiat-pegged tokens that can be used for crypto trading or stability but you must already have crypto. Maybe later some fiat gateway will accept pax assets. At this time the only decentralized entry point for fiat money is Bitsquare.

do we have an explanation how PAX (fiat <-> crypto exchange) works?

Right now it will be something like the following:

USDpax --> KMD --> LP --> Exchange.

You could also do the following for fiat:

USDpax --> KMD --> LP --> BTC --> fiat

I am working on a special project that may give a more direct access to fiat with fiatpax.



I guess USDpax is a kind of token/asset?
I think the point is: how to make the swap USD --> USDpax in a secure and decentralized fashion. Maybe the komodo notary nodes will be used to secure a kind of gateway for fiat deposit?

Each currency is its own chain. That is the power of Komodo. As to how they are created, i need to study that more.

Wait for PAX whitepaper. When? Don't ask me. Only James knows. He'll write it.

Yes we are working on it, jl777 has submitted some parts already, hard to say when it is ready completely ready though.

I heard jl777 is a genius C coder, I admire this guy because my C language was bad, I gave it up, and i don't code any more now. We can benefit a lot from jl's hard working.

I don't get it, what is DEX?   Roll Eyes    I know kmd and superNet. Btw, current ico is very successful, I see it may surpass 3k btc.

DEX = Decentralized EXchange

It's a hi-tech system that uses smart contracts to facilitate trades between two people without a 3rd party. This is the most interesting one yet since it can do cross-chain smart contracts.

This is true, will make transactions safer and faster

I think there is some misunderstanding about the DEX that we plan to implement.   The purpose of our DEX is to allow cross-chain swaps as well as a local platform to interact with centralized exchanges.   This prevents access by a third party to your coins as in the case of storing them at a exchange.

Our DEX is NOT the same as XCP, NXT or colored coins implementations.

Oh that sounds a lot more interesting. Can all chains be swapped between each other or just certain ones? I'd love to stop using poloniex and bittrex but I have to because I want to do cross chain trades.

Cross chain trades will happen between those currencies which are tested and running with iguana.

Those are bitcoin protocol compatible currencies and we have more than dozens tested to work with iguana. As more currencies are tested and are supported those will be able to do cross chain atomic trades via EasyDEX.

Komodo, Zcash, Bitcoin, BitcoinDark, are few important example coins to mention. There are more. If you want to know if any of your favourite currency works or can be run on iguana, please help testing those currencies. Get in touch with devs on SuperNET slack.

Will this DEX have a mobile app?

Yes, I believe EasyDEX GUI has a mobile version too.

@grewalsatinder can confirm that Smiley


The EasyDEX-GUI is HTML code. Adjustable to all screens from Desktops, Tablets to Mobiles. EasyDEX-GUI is the front-end, user friendly view for end users.

The second part, and most important part is iguana core. iguana core is backend. It is the binary which provides backend APIs used by the front-end user interface EasyDEX-GUI.

iguana binary has been tested on Linux, OS X, Windows, and android in earlier versions of development. But, first we need to have iguana and Komodo to be on stable stages before we concentrate on mobile platforms. As we reach enough stable stages, a native iguana binary packaged for android app can be expected.

I am anyway also spending time in debugging iguana binary for android time to time and report back any bugs or errors found in android version to core developer (jl777). So, hopefully when the right time comes we make Android Mobile version of EasyDEX App without much difficulties.

In stages expect first Desktop wallets to be stable, and then tablet/mobile support to come afterwards.

Hope this clears.

I'd prefer a mobile first experience and not as an HTML website. The next problem is hosting the Iguana node. I don't want to host an Iguana node to trade on the DEX. My favorite DEX is currently indiesquare. I understand this is really early on and it'll take time but I want it right now today!

May be you got confused with something.

Nothing needs to be hosted online. Everything running locally. Just like an App.

I'd never host some crypto project locally. Too many risks with viruses and privacy. I always rent a VPS and host it there. My preference though is to trust someone like the creators of this project to host the nodes for me and allow lots of people to simply use this DEX by opening up the app on their cellphone or going to a website.

Another Iguana GUI update from Boogieman

Quote
The GUI update
1.  We decided to improve development environment and apply Angular framework.
The code base has been  "getting worse in terms of scaling and maintenance", so migration to a framework is a prevent measure.
The risk of delivering an oversized product is false, as the size of the files will be within 2 Mb.
2.  Screens  responsive optimization for mobile is almost done, some issues with styles left to be closed soon.
3.   The content text was refactored so anyone can contribute to localization or better wording. This will give us to support different languages in soon releases. More languages, more users. https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SuperNETorg/Iguana-GUI/0.1.1/js/lang/en.js
4.  We also upgrading mockups with new requirements arose both for Iguana and Non-Iguana flow.
5.  I started a blog on the Iguana App development https://steemit.com/iguana/@boogieman/iguana-updates
I plan to make one post a week or two along with brief updates like this one.
And we are still awaiting to get a full promo site soon for Iguana App exclusively.
We certainly need to plan and execute some marketing activity, as soon as we get the app working stable and available to install and use for regular users, which will happen soon.  I'm not giving any precise date, we agreed to reconfirm the date with KOMODO guys on the ICO completion.
6. We have been joined by a second testing engineer today, so expecting to finally agree on git flow and get testing environment setup and testing procedure launched.

Be sure to follow his blog!  Smiley
