Litecoin's main twitter account is now tweeting about the competition too:

The Litecoin foundation has partnered with the Particl foundation as their BasicSwapDEX.com exchange supports most privacy coin atomic swaps, and will shortly add LTC MWEB (mimblewimble) to the list of supported coins.

To celebrate they are giving away five first edition Lealana 1LTC physicals over the coming weeks. See here on how to enter:

BasicSwapDEX.com uses scriptless scripts, it also provides full bidirectional swaps for most privacy coins including monero. This makes it the safest, cheapest and most anonymous exchange. It's open source and free to install, you only need to own one coin to swap; the one you want to trade for. No other coins required.

Note to winners, don't forget to release the MAD escrow once you confirm you are happy with your items, so we can both access our funds!

Glad you got your prize. I'm thinking of re-running the competition later on this year as there are going to be a lot of new shops opening on particl market place with the launch of the new wallet. Will make an announcement here if I do.

Congrats MJ.  Can't wait for mine.

congrats on the win minerjones! it was way to confusing for me to even figure out.

Received a mystery package today that was labeled "screws"
Well indeed there were a couple screws and a few large washers..... but tucked inside was a nice surprise!!

Thanks for the great coin and fun giveaway.

Items have been shipped to the winners. I must say turn out was not as high as I had hoped. However I gather the particl team have a plan to migrate a number of high volume eBay and Amazon sellers to the marketplace at some point next year, to get the market place populated with thousands of items to buy. So I might try running another competition at that point. It's going to be an interesting time, because it may be possible to pay for items directly in a number of different cryptos by then, not just particl coin.

Dang this was so interesting reading and then I realized that I missed the deadline and now i'm very sad hahahha I will go back and finish reading anyways now this is very interesting, good luck with your crypto store!!!

Hello, I'd to confirm. I'm that the winners.
Here's for chat / announcement.




This is my first time to buying at marketplace with some coin/token. Easy, unique and SAVE.

Marketplace has an account, but your privatekey is your account.  It's crazy instead of account created by email. As we know, how strong's security of privatekey.
Thank you very much for cool give away @ParticlAccelerator ,  Will update / sharing my experience soon here as proof.  

Can you post the final prices for the lot as well?

The listing has ended and the competition has therefore closed. I will contact the winners via the marketplace. So if you placed a bid please check there.

There is in fact a feature planned for next year where you can pay directly in the marketplace interface in pretty much any currency including BTC, and it will do a trade in the background using Particl's DEX to trade that currency to PART which is native to the market. Right now you can do this manually via Particl's DEX.

They had this working a year back with a CEX plugin, but the CEX changed its API so support that was dropped, but it was a good proof of principle before migrating to the more reliable Particl DEX.

Absolutely. It seems the listing has disappeared from the portal, not sure why..?

Any way here is a step by step guide:

1. Download Particl Desktop

particl.io

2. Get some coins

    - Particl's atomic DEX (Basic Swap), this is built on Particl's encrypted decentralised messaging system, so its arguably way safer than a centralised exchange. You can trade Monero, BTC. LTC, Dash, FRIO and a few others.
    - Wizard Swap
    - Bittrex
    - ProBit
    - HitBTC

3. Make a bid

Make sure Particl Desktop has downloaded the block chain, after that it will sync all the current encrypted messages associate with the block chain, some of these are the marketplace listings. You will see the marketplace listings appear in the marketplace under "Market>Browse", so if you don't see it just wait patiently and keep hitting refresh.

You will also need to move some funds to your anon balance as this uses ring signatures and blinding to keep the buyer and seller anonymous. Go to "Wallet>Send/Convert" to make sure you have funds in both your anon and public balances.

You can then place a bid. Click on the listing and selecting "Add to Cart". Then under "Market>Cart" complete the checkout process, don't forget to add the password “crypto_competition” in your address somewhere so I know you are from this forum.

Once that's done I will accept you bid. I will message you on the marketplace's encrypted chat to confirm.

Hope this helps, let me know how you get on and if you get stuck.

We still have more prizes than entrants; if just a few more people enter, its likely all of them will get a prize,

Particl supports three types of tx:

    - Public, which is basically a bitcoin tx
    - Private, which uses ring signatures
    - Anon, which adds some extras privacy features, I believe such as blinding

Because the marketplace is anonymising you cab only spend anon funds on it.

On the very left of the client GUI are tabs for 'wallet', 'market' and 'govern'.

If you go to wallet tab you can manage your wallets, use the 'send/convert' and 'receive' functions in the various wallets to send some funds to the 'particl-market" wallet as you use this one to pay for items. I would also advise sending some public funds to that wallet too just in case as I think these may be needed for validator fees.

Hope that all makes sense.

It's open to anyone; if you have a postal address that I can post your prize to, you can enter.

How do we transfer from the Wallet to the Marketplace to be able to pay for the contest?
My wallet has more than enough to transfer/pay for the contest.

Is this competition available to EU participants, or US only?

The portal should have provided you with a page where you enter your postal data and an email and then send the offer, and the portal broadcast this to the particl network, where its picked up by the marketplace. However the portal will also ask you to send funds so that it can place a bid on the network. If you didn't get either of those steps then I'm guessing it wont have sent the message.

I'd suggest using the actual marketplace in particl desktop if you are having issues.

Note using the portal adds the requirement of trust to the process as you are basically sending funds to a website's wallet. Using the marketplace in particl desktop is trustless.
