I want to bring this topic to the general discussion.
Here is a link to the ForkDelta exchange:
https://forkdelta.github.io
I came across this exchange by accident. In one of the Telegram Channels, someone threw off a link to buy tokens through this exchange.
In fact, this is a complete tracing paper with EtherDelta.com (even placed on Github, like Delta before).
The only thing that bothered me was the almost complete lack of information. And, with the huge bunch of scams for last time, it's somehow scary to shove your private key wherever you get (damn, somehow it went off, okay, I hope you understand me correctly:))).
I did not find on the forum information or topic devoted to this exchange, maybe badly searched.
What information is available from other sources?
First of all, it is Github itself:
https://github.com/forkdelta
It shows that it is being updated, some corrections are being made. My knowledge of programming is not enough to make sure everything is there cleanly, but there are no rhetoric comments. I believe that the code plus or minus is copied from the good old Delta.
Further Reddit:
The user freeatnet on January 5 or 6 wrote the post I forked EtherDelta, in which he expressed his thoughts about EtherDelta and why he decided to "fork" it. In principle, nothing new, writes about the latest hacking, this crap with the release of their tokens, etc. Naturally, author declares that ForkDelta will not go along this path and will be maximally improved towards security.
Comments are without much negativity, somebody gave karma points for this post, that is also a plus sign.
Official account on Twitter:
https://twitter.com/forkdelta
Again, we can only assume that it's official, in any case it was created on January 5, at about the same time a code appeared on the github.
The account has a good activity, many tweets about new listings and other information, well, some percentage of confidence inspires.
In general, if the principle of the exchange EtherDelta is maintained, that is, the addresses interact with the exchange through the smart-contract itself and private keys do not fall anywhere, it can be used.
I'm afraid that this would not be some sort of scam, like the developer will collect our private keys and then massively cheat all of us.
I would like to hear those who have already traded on ForkDelta, and in general your opinions on this matter.
Can we use it?
P.S. Sorry for maybe some mistakes, English is not my native language
I had some Lotus tokens from bounty program and the telegram channel give me link to here: https://forkdelta.github.io/#!/trade/LTO-ETH
When i go to site it asked me my ETH wallet private key.. This is really something dangerous. If i was new in to this business i could give my key and now everything is gone.. Thank god i haven't..
Im a ForkDelta User whats the problem Folks? ForkDelta is much Better than EDelta and About Asking private key its normal when you import your existing wallet, without your private key its impossible to import it. or simply you can create a new wallet in that case you cant used your personal wallet and not debulge your private key! all do in the previous months I dont like much decentralized exchange but due rising fees on Centralized Exchange I have no choice but to used it so far so good I dont see any flaws! on Forkdelta
