Very interesting project and will keep track of the project and maybe move on from bittrex
Good Luck

nice work, darren 
that is an image from twitter, excellent infographic. perplexed as to how to actually post an image here !
posting this from 86b in slack. I think it highlights the monster potential of blocknet....
you’ll be able to choose your confirmations. There seems to be a lot of talk about network fees being expensive/etc and this is very misleading as it really only applies to BTC and is a flat fee no matter the amount of BTC you’re trading. For example Litecoin: you can get into the next block paying a miniscule $0.01 mining fee... and I believe that is the 2nd most expensive.
The real value here too is not having to sell to Bitcoin, then selling that Bitcoin for an alt - you’ll experience trading fees + slippage premiums in the book - and this gets increasingly more expensive if you have to deposit/withdraw from exchanges. Also, when transferring from exchange to exchange to chase alts not supported on 1 exchange but supported on the other, you’re relying on the speed of the exchange to process your withdraw itself and paying a high enough mining fee to get you into the next block all while being charged a withdrawal fee at the same time... then you’re waiting on confirmations from the receiving exchange to process.
Lastly - our DX gives you total control of your security, and that’s something many traders are willing to pay for. All in all though the whole expensive part of it only applies to BTC trading (for now - like basedgod pointed out). Another benefit is not having to worry about exchange withdrawal limits without giving copies of your identity to exchanges who frequently get compromised along with your personal info.

Crypto needs decentralized Exchange in order to decentralize value. It's fundamentally an ecosystem problem. interesting project ahead. blocknet would be $100 to $200 by end of 2018
Is there a way to deposit and withdraw fiat currencies into your decentralized exchange? I see one of main weaknesses about decentralized exchanges is that it's not possible to deposit and withdraw fiat money (for example on etherdelta).
Also, I saw you are building a VPN as well. Is it already available? Which are the differences between your VPN and Mysterium's one?
It looks like a very interesting project anyway!

Yes indeed cryptoX, and i dont care much for the title of this thread.
One of the largely unknown aspects of Blocknet is that its a protocol/infrastructure and that other existing exchanges or indeed new exchanges are very welcome to use blocknet for their backend.
also agreed on the marketing. blocknet is a rare thing in crypto, its not some hugely marketed plan with little behind it, its the opposite - very advanced and substantial technology with little marketing done as yet, just word of mouth and a hardcore group of people who recognize its value. from my research its streets ahad of other dex projects out there and so much bigger in scope.

BlockNet is a pretty cool project, but I'd like to see where it goes. I think there's a market for it but to say its going to kill other Exchanges seems a bit overestimated. I think China and USA could really use a DEX though, Waves DEX is coming a long but its far from use able for daytrading.
But yeah, pricewise and marketcap it has a long way to go, could become a top5 project (gtfo BTG)

Blocknet basically don't need to kill off other exchanges. There's no need for that. All Blocknet need is to be able to access the order book and open up their order book to these exchanges. For example, EthFinex will be opening their order book to blocknet.

At no point in using the exchange will coins ever leave your control. someone in slack suggested that blocknet may be the go-to exchange for institutional investors (for obvious reasons), and i agree with that just from a risk point of view. Also, blocknet has negotated a deal with ethfinex/bitfinex to gain access to their order book, so will spring into life with great liquidity. right now one can trade on blocknet, but it will become user friendly for mass adoption with release of the UI and multiwallet (hence not requiring full chain downloads). these are both scheduled for the very near future, we are talking weeks....
For now, Blocknet is still very under the radar. Once the marketing starts, look out.

To answer your question, the first implementation of blocknet's protocol is a decentralised exchange. For technical reasons discussed earlier, it should be regarded as truly decentralised (which cannot be said for waves). trades on the exchanged are paid for with block which will create constant buy pressure on the coin.
Is BLOCKNET like WAVES or HEAT? Is it a decentralised exchange? Maybe it will disrupt Kraken and Polo and Bittrex then, who knows
So to bump this thread... there's been a UI reveal with aforementioned VSA design co. here is an image (the second image not the first!!)

http://www.trustnodes.com/2017/10/27/press-release-the-blocknet-hires-design-agency-for-its-decentralized
As the race to become the first cross-chain decentralized exchange continues, the Blocknet has retained VSA Partners to assist with UX and design for its trading interface. The first manifestation of the partnership features an intricate user experience design for the Blocknet’s new decentralized exchange.
“One of the greatest shortcomings to early attempts at decentralized exchanges has been a poor user experience,” shared Arlyn Culwick, Co-founder of the Blocknet. “Through good design and user experience, we can more effectively help create markets in which both veterans and those newer to the cryptocurrency world can securely exchange value across chains without having to rely on an intermediary.”
The decentralized exchange movement has grown rapidly in the last year and, naturally, competition has followed suit. The Blocknet community is proactively setting itself apart by leveraging the power of strategic design and UX for a more seamless trading experience. While the Blocknet currently has trustless peer-to-peer exchange capabilities in operation for 30 currencies following their recent main net launch–and in principle for any Bitcoin Core clone–the launch of the exchange will bring a best-in-class trading experience to users.
“The Blocknet community recognizes that, not only is it crucial to solve the difficult underlying blockchain technology barriers, but nailing the product experience is key to long term success,” says Nicholas Cavet, Associate Partner, Blockchain Lead at VSA Partners. “You need to have an exceptional digital experience, build a brand and drive awareness. We’re proud to be partnering with the Blocknet community and founders during this exciting time.”
As blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies continue to become recognized as a means of transferring value throughout the world, the Blocknet platform will allow peer-to-peer trading for quicker and more efficient transactions that aren’t limited by the type of cryptocurrency and underlying chain . As the platform grows, VSA will continue to evolve its UX/UI and long-term branding efforts for the Blocknet.

hey don't known this before. really a nice project. I mean I need something like this. Hate polo so much
seems Blocknet going to pass 50$ , i really dont know the reason of this bumps
Nice idea i do agree with you poloniex , kraken and all these big exchanges barely list any coins but we all know a exchange which allows listing of every single coin that is yobit in start they trade with good volumes but finally the coin left to suffer which sucks.
The only part i loved about you was the kyc i do agree it surely not required but in terms of usd i think it's fair to ask kyc because of corruption. Eventually i will try your exchange soon
