7 Billion dollar industry bro.

Mate you should read

Please write an exchange in mathlab, that would be the most secure and greatest exchange ever!!!!

Yes, the poll is a bit ... wide in scope to be politically correct.

Now, I'm not sure if you're an actual software developer or a internet property developer so I'll try to cover both

If you plan on developing this yourself I suggest you use the technologies you know best if they are aplicable to the project scope. I doubt Mathlab or Flex would be good ideas though. Depending on your skillset you might want to find at least another person to join the team, a project of this size and potential risk should not be taken lightly.

If you're in it to develop the business then things are different. The first step would be to figure out a realistic budget alocation for the design and development part of the business.

Depending on the figure you come up with you will have have access to different technologies and talent for your team. I suppose it will become a choice between releasing something cool fast and then update if it takes off or building it heavy duty from the ground up. I don't know what your exact plans are but I generally advise a release early, update often approach. This way you can test the concept fast and make use of invaluable customer feedback rather than risking to blow your budget too soon on non-essential stuff.

Now, your question was about the development technology and I went a bit off-path. I think you should go with the classical php back-end with a smartly designed responsive front-end with well optimised ajax integration (includes JS, obviously). You could also try Ruby, bit hipster but quite cool and effective.

You shouldn't need much more than that to get you started and in the mean time if all goes according to plan you can invest in optimizing the most crucial parts of the business or doing a whole new back end if you feel you need to scale it to enterprise levels. Once you get there I'm sure you'll find a suitable technology, like Java with it's many enterprise level frameworks. However, the deeper you go into big business territory, the more expensive the technologies and the talent.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

PS : Don't skimp on the user interface and experience
PS2 : Don't group Java and JS together

I did not even read OP's first post, but judging by the poll, he should not undertake the project.

This just goes to show 'Best' is a relative term.

Hm... haven't thought of it that way, I thought you wanted the easiest possible integration, not the most secure option?

Isnt that less secure ?

I'm all for Java / Javascript!

Definitely Matlab.

 

Epic poll.

Ok So first of all many might remember me from the Exotic Car thread so Hi there yes I m still here.

So Ive finally received a green signal from my sponsor to go ahead and develop the beta public version of KROGYAN

and since I m from India which is where this site would be hosted & operated from, there are a few limitations when it comes to direct exchange of Bitcoins with Cash.

So I was thinking if I could create the site where people could first buy CREDITS with Indian money which is equivalent to the current USD/INR rate at the time of purchase. Then they could use those credits to buy BTC/LTC at the market rates from within the exchange.

Kind of like how Virwox works. But when I look at it virwox or btc-e, they are very uncomplicated (code wise) when compared to Gox or coinbase or blockchain.

Anyways the unique thing about this exchange would be the introduction of traditional Margin trading using Short/Long trades by borrowing funds from the market/lenders & hence a separate desktop platform.


So what do you guys think ?? what should be the first step taken towards creating this website and which scripting language would be best suited for this task which would allow easy integration between a desktop client and the website.


I enjoy trolls and troll along with them but try to keep this as less spammed as possible Thanks
