Looks like http://mercuryex.com   is over, removing it from the list.

It looks like some projects do fail, in any case keep me updated if i forgot to update something


(their thread is inactive too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=946174.160)

I am involved in a few nice projects, mainly businesses but I am hoping more and more people will sue bitcoin so eventually the price is good and solid for also long term investing although it is expensive enough at the moment and better for the sellers than the buyers.

Some of them has a lot of potential to have a nice impact on Bitcoin. If the OpenBazaar become popular and stabilizing, the Bitcoin will pump.
We do need Bitcoins markets.

Definitely seeing more traction. No need to rely on expensive middle-men like Coinbase for small amounts of buys, and without the hassle of account closure risks.

which exact project are you referring to, it seems you have just sorts put some happiness out there without going backwards and looking at the thread.  bitsquare is a pretty nice piece of coding, but i do not think that your reply seems to apply to that so which project were you talking about?

Wow indeed, its very exciting bitcoin project. Let us spread the good news that bitcoin might be bringing to us. Its gonna be great to all of us..

Wow let's spread the word in the others..
Many event happen yehey .. The bitcoin price is affected to rise?

Just intalled Bitsquare again and it looks like it has got some new volume since I last checked it. When I last checked it some weeks ago it only had 20-30 orders, and now it has almost 100. This is a small step in the right direction, but looks like its gaining popularity slowly.

ok, i guess what i was missing was that you only have to account to the main chain twice.  i imagined that the side chain gathered say four blocks of TX and then sent them or something like that.  i assume that the side chain used in this manner will still account those TX's once per day or something and only as an overall net change from the day before.  somehow i was thinking that each TX still made it to the block chain eventually versus a simple overall change of funds in the side chain.

i still see the company at large at risk though,  say my side token is "quickpay" the way i see this service working is not that a client actively buys my quickpay token and then buys and sells through my site. instead, they deposit their BTC and my site automatically buys quickpay with their BTC, still showing their balance to them in BTC.  but, when they then buy something from outside the network, how does that work?  I promise them 0 confirmations, so i have to quickly put out enough of my tokens to pay their debt, and i have to deal with confirmations because i am dealing with the main chain, so then i have to provide the purchase, the traded currencies or whatever and they can be gone before my outside TX gets confirmed.  the only safety would be to delay their exit from my site/token.

i don't know, it is late here, what i do see is that this would all be very possible if the entire system got enclosed by the side chain.  you could trade back and forth, no delays and the only time you would have to wait is leaving the side chain, converting back to BTC.  that only works if both trading parties on on the same side chain. 

maybe i do not get you and misunderstood, why are 100 bitcoin 4 blocks? did you confuse it with the old mining reward for a block? as far as i understand side chains take out existing bitcoins let us say a 100. then you can us these 100 bitcoin as usual and just do the transactions and confirmations on an other chain. after some time you send the 100 bitcoins back to the block chain. in total you have made 2 transactions (in and out) on the block chain. but possibly hundreds or thousands of transactions of the chain.
A->B->C->...->Y->Z->A. Where A is the block chain. imagine that you send 100 bitcoins every time. so only transactions to B and from Z are on the block chain and the whole other bunch is not. this is how you prevent spam on the block chain.

But.....is this using side chains of BTC to accomplish this?  If so, lets say that I create a side token and use it in my network with clients.  I set a 100 BTC block size for my side chain and side network and 0 confirmations for payments.  Now, my first block fills and I have paid all that in and out on my token.  I have to, at some point, send my side token TX's to the main block chain and if my token is a 1 to 1 BTC exchange, then my 1 block would quickly throw 4 blocks at the main block chain.  Or am I thinking about this wrong?  A constant use side network with a bigger block could quickly lag down the main block chain.  Or, I could have my token at 4 to 1 and that still gets confusing.  Either way, people are spending 100 BTC and sending it in a big 4 block lump. Right?

It is just embarrassing how these hardforkers have a patience of a 5 year old. They cant even wait a few more months until this gets established, while urging for a hardfork since 2014, when we can see that it is not urgent at all.

I think SW will come out smoothly, and in 2017 we will have good developments for bitcoin.

1⟫ Segregated Witness and LightningNetwork - Larger block space, which will increase the capacity of bitcoin transaction, making room for more people. And empty rooms always tend to fill up, so I expect many new users from this idea. It also fixes malleability issues, and makes 0 confirm double spend harder so we can now build instant transaction systems with greater confidence and less risk of double spend with lightning network technology. Huge project, definitely nr.1.

I like this idea. if we have larger block space, the voice of hard fork will be smaller. Lightening Network is necessary to future bitcoin mass adoption, now the speed is too slow. We need speed it up

Just use Google to search them, I just list here the more established ones and the ones that I think have a huge positive impact on bitcoin.

There are probably many more out there ,but not all of them become succesful.

I want to thank you for this list , they are helpful projects , and unfortunately , I don't know most of them , that make me wonder , how to handle all these projects ? and how many projects we don't know ? because every day there is something new .

That's will never end that's just like a question without any sentences for an answer that because the answer just in the everyone is using mixing for?until our will die it's will never get the ending.

This projects looks good. I hope this happen soon so that bitcoin will more convinient to all the people. And if this happen, I expect the price of bitcoin to go up.

Are factom and stratis project bitcoin projects? IMO they are bitcoin project, factom is developing a Scalable Data Layer for the Blockchain. Stratis is developing C# bitcoin full nodes on its blockchain. Although they are altcoins, but they can contribute to bitcoin

Still if you are looking for superior level of anonymity then monero is probably a better choice.
I still understand need of mixing coins, but with mixing there is never ending discussion of privacy vs. money laundering.

Also we have one similar failed project already - Dark Wallet.
