Everytone from the above list, please drop a line (PM) with email address and/or BTCTC/altcoin mainnet addresses.
If/when this goes live and hopefully makes a profit, will send a small token as thanks.
You're very welcome and thank you for the kind gesture, but I don't think I deserve any reward based on the type of tests that I've done collectively.
- Because of certain issues, I wasn't able to "fully" test your upcoming platform!

Thanks for checking it out. Sorry, not looking for inputs regarding the UI too much. I know frames are old, so is CSS and HTML itself. There are certain limitations in UI intentionally added. In this case these frames are dynamically generated and refreshed every few seconds and just work. I didn't want to use JS and JSON. The whole website can be used without enabling Javascript.

I did not say that frames are old, but outdated and should not be used in times when HTML5 is the industry standard. While all modern browsers still support frames, but the W3C specifically states that frames "are not to be used by Web developers". Support for frames in browsers is meant purely for historical purposes.

As a rule of thumb, you must plan ahead from the start. No one will be interested in your exchange if it looks like a 90s website. Not to mention all the problems you can run into if you continue to use outdated technologies.

As a side note, you can implement server push in your app without having to use JavaScript.

If you ever release this exchange than post more information in this forum topic and I will contact you with my Bitcoin address for reward.
I don't really like sending my email addresses up front to random people, but I can use some temp mail later if needed.
Thanks for mentioning.
Cheers.

They say if there is a book you want to read. but does not exist, you write it.
If you read the FAQ, this exchange has been created to address a similar issue. The idea here is not greed. Fees are enough as is. Wouldn't want to play unfair and "always win". What is yours is yours. What is the exchange's is the exchange's.

This is going to be a new exchange and is a centralized one so have to earn the trust and maintain it.

Will surely announce here if more modules, features are added in advance.

See how generous this exchange is.. Do trade if/when this goes live.

BTW, the over and under rounding goes both ways depending upon the strength of the last digit. Also, a trading fee is being deducted.. sometimes as BTC.. if not present then as the altcoin traded. FAQ mentions it but will add that to the trade hist and/or Open Orders and before placing orders as well.

I clearly understood and I know how rounding works in code (both up and down), just I've never encountered this and I find abnormal.
I mean, in all exchanges I've used the rounding went like:
* if I have to pay, it rounds up my payment
* if I have to receive coins, the number will be rounded down
So no matter what are the 9th+ digits after the decimal point, "the bank always wins".

Everyone is still free(and shall remain) free to withdraw. I might end this test soon by month end. Thank you.

When my help is no longer needed/useful, let me know so I'll withdraw. No rush, but, as possible, please don't make me check the platform an entire month just to see that's nothing new there.

About the flashing logo. I think that needs to go, many have pointd that out. Wouldn't want to give someone an epilepsy episode.

This test is mainly focussed upon the trading engine. If you spot something related to that do let us know. Thanks.

After reviewing your project for the first time today, I have a few questions.

First of all, why do you use HTML frames? They are outdated and impractical for this kind of application.
For example, what prevents me from accessing your exchange like this: https://blot3d-56119.portmap.io:56119/1.html ?

The second thing I think needs to be changed is that flashing logo. It is very irritating and distracting.

I've noticed today that some of my sell orders got processed (they seem to be a few days ago actually, but with such a lack of activity I no longer check in so often).

And there's something that has never happened to me before at an exchange: I've received more. Cheesy

I've sold 0.00280615 ETH, the price was 0.065 and I received 0.00018240 BTC.
If we multiply the first 2 numbers we get 0.00018239975, which has much more than 8 decimals and was rounded up.

2. You will have to round down such numbers.

1. If I press Logout I end up with the upper bad twice (maybe a frame in frame problem?). Of course, it gets multiplied if I log back in and log off again and so on.
Hey thanks for writing. Yes, I am aware of the ever multiplying top frame. I did not want to use js to keep pulling the price as json so I kept a top frame to refresh. I will come up with a solution (maybe a better design).. mainly right now my intention was to test the trading engine and exchange features... will take care of the cosmetics, but that was never a priority.

2. I've changed password. The old one was some 10 characters, it doesn't allow new password under 12 now. I guess it's a feature not a bug, but  please ensure it's in sync with the restrictions at account creation.
I will check the password policy I have kept.

Quote
3. Does anything still happen here? Or I should withdraw the test coins and send them back to faucets? I don't see any talk, I don't get any transactions triggered...
Anything can happen, the exchange is open for trading but we do not have many people to test it. I wanted to see people come in hundreds and test how bad my trading engine is Cheesy

How about you give me a weekend to set up some IRC channel and I can start spreading the word over other IRC channels, forums, etc. to bring in audience? You are free to request a withdrawal if you do not wish to wait.

BTW there has been some progress (colors, meny buttons set horizontally, refresh buttons, and I have set up an i2p eepsite as well.. I might later on remove the clearnet URL we have currently and serve a i2p site)

Okay I got it now. Thanks for the explaining it well. I had observed this issue earlier when this module was written. What is happening here is that either the deducted amount (remaining post-partial trade) needs to be calculated and the 0 before the decimal gets lost due to how the compiler treats the output OR when the program convertes Gwei to ETH. A lot of ethereum's direct blockchain's output isn't display friendly.  Nothing that cannot be fixed, but appears this way as default when I let the system decide the exact calculated amount.. it chooses not to display the 0. Will try to get uniformity as you pointed out.


I think when it comes to mammoths like BTC and ETH (other altcoins are a different story altogether), one must sell at the price they wish to without any FOMO. So I have displayed the current market prices atleast. If we all start seeing the order books (which means ours and others orders) then surely market making/matching will get easier but we will open up the doors to something else as well. Also, we don't even have a chart yet, that will be the next demand and I will have to loan it from tradingview or some other place (/ sorce code).

2. The prices and amounts should be shown in an "unified" way, not in the way the user has entered it. I mean.. I have some with 0.something, I have some with .something; maybe convert everything to #n.nnnnnnnn?

About the price amounts: If think you want a total (A multiplied by B), then that is visible as 'Total Price'. I think what I am displaying is the trade history, so it displays exactly what you tried to sell/buy and at what price.
Maybe I am not getting what you mean, could you draw it out and share? Or just save the html and edit it and take a screenshot and share?

You've misunderstood. Just look again at the image at point 2:
* you can see units as .15 and as 0.07000000
* you can see price as .078 or 0.078
It looks messy. My suggestion was to put a 0 before the decimal point if it's missing, and maybe show the same number of digits (8?) after decimal point everywhere.
I.e. show 0.15000000 instead of .15, keep 0.07000000 as it is, change .078 and 0.078 into 0.07800000.

Also note that it's not that I do not have an order book, but it is intentionally not placed as a unified database. I will have to write code for the orderbook option to make all orders look like a cohesive orderbook. That all being said, if I observe enough interest, I might consider writing a module for orderbook so that the traders can view it (see global exchange-level trade queues). But I prefer a blackbox approach for everyone's privacy.

Displaying some sort of order book doesn't have to be in the same way as the users post the orders, so privacy should not suffer (so maybe that "cohesive orderbook" was in my mind, just didn't know how to express it)
But one should really know what he can do in order to get an order processed - how much to ask for his ETH or how much he should sell his BTC for.
However, it's your project and your decisions, all I can do is to post advises; whether you take them into consideration or not is 100% up to you.

Yes the trade history is all messy. I know it from Day 1. I know I can add borders and some visible grid but that will look really ugly.  Different fonts are a good idea. I will figure out a solution soon.

4. I agree with a previous post: why can't we see all the existing open orders on the platform so we don't go blindly (we see what orders we can match)?
Displaying the order book means:

- Adding FOMO
- Opening up the exchange to marke manipulation (specifically order book manipulation by schemers)
- Partial loss of privacy

Also note that it's not that I do not have an order book, but it is intentionally not placed as a unified database. I will have to write code for the orderbook option to make all orders look like a cohesive orderbook. That all being said, if I observe enough interest, I might consider writing a module for orderbook so that the traders can view it (see global exchange-level trade queues).

I was about to try and match @NeuroticFish's open orders, but with little to no load, it's not reachable at the moment ~
- If I were you, I would've publicly shown/listed all of the open orders.

I was managed to create such order but my order didn't get executed at all. I thought that NeuroticFish order is already got executed but who knows, so yea I do think showing up the order book would be good.

~I was waiting for people to get comfortable with deposits, withdrawal, overall UI etc.. ~

The UI is very 90s - almost like Web 1.0 because I do not want to inject javascript in this project.. basic CSS is fine. I want old browsers to support this exchange. A UI is a UI. I think user friendliness and straight forwardness matters. I do not want to present a jazzed up convoluted interface. But yes this is too basic and bland and could use some sprucing up.
I believe the UI parts would be tricky besides maturing other features that your exchange has. Most of the people already getting used by the way of how many exchanges look likes. And by achieving the good user experience/friendliness of the current or future state, you need to somehow be able to express it indirectly to the users. Surely the current UI needs a revamp, though. Another thing is, if by means of straightforwardness is website interactivity, if you need to add interactivity within the website, I don't know if a no-js site is able to cope up with it.


EDIT:

Seems like the site is already up again. I gonna do further testing, let's see if I could come up with anything.

- If I were you, I would've publicly shown/listed all of the open orders.

I would clearly not do such (stupid) things if it would not be test environment with test money Cheesy

However, I cannot see the results because I'm getting ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED (I've got that basically every day now and then, including twice today)
It may be that OP is working on the website and I am just unlucky though.



Update: now (14:57 UTC) the site works, but my orders are still not matched.

Full disclosure. I had kept the trading engines switched off.. mainly because they run too fast causing a lot of Disk IO.. I was waiting for people to get comfortable with deposits, withdrawal, overall UI etc..
The trading engine is alive now! If your order finds an appropriate suitor, it wil get cleared. I have tested this in the past but want fresh eyes.

On the same page, a "refresh status" button would be nice.
No please, refresh will only do one thing - log out...

I finally received some testnet coins for bitcoin and ethereum but I didn't manage to complete any trades so far, no matter what price and number of units I enter in those fields.
I can only see my offer and nothing offered by other users, so I have to wonder has anyone from this forum  managed to do a trade so far or not?
OP timegrazer might be one of those mysterious time travelers from past time, and I think this old design won't work well for most people in 2022.

Some small news.

I've got also some ETH (thanks SFR10 for the link) and:
1. My buying orders and my selling orders don't get matched - I know, it might be intentional.
2. Nobody seems to have orders to match mine - I know, it may be too few users.

However, I have to ask if the part that should be matching the orders actually works.



3. On the same page, a "refresh status" button would be nice.

1. You should provide some liquidity for the market (especially virtual USD and ETH). There's no way to test this otherwise.
Well, if I had testnet liquidity I would have written a few bots and done the trading tests myself.
The whole reason for getting 50 something testers is that they will have some semblance of a real market and so that they can trade amongst themselves. You are the liquidity. You are the market.

2. I understood that you check balance at the moment the order is to be executed, still this may be overly confusing for the users.

Trading fees are mentioned on the FAQ page. But I will add them at the other relevant page as well. Thanks.

The reason why you can place orders worth more than what you actually hold is INTENTIONAL. I am giving people the choice to place open orders on multiple coins at the same time, whatever clears first will be considered. It's mentioned on the FAQ page.


Quote
3. I didn't find anything about the trade fees - nothing seems to be displayed in the order. And of course, I can't see from any processed order because of the lack of liquidity.




...at least we have now proper order IDs (they seem to be random numbers, not increasing ones, no problem though) Cheesy
ORDER IDs should always be non-sequential on all exchanges in my opinion.


P.S. Many thanks for testing. I hope more people came onboard and traded. I will be posting a link for a chatroom soon. Maybe that will help speed up the process.

I mean that right now I have 0.01 tBTC and it doesn't show how much I have locked in orders.
And I have 2 orders, totaling more than my full balance. Again, I understand why this happens, but it may not be the correct way for the future users/UI.

The special character limit has been only been lifted from the email addres field. And yes I wanted to confirm if the withdrawal was happening with raw transactions (so I sent a smaller chunk first). Glad everyone got it back.



I just registered your website. I have to say that the navigation bar is really painful. By the way, I'm a novice. Is the wallet generated by clicking deposit in my account my wallet in the exchange? Then can I transfer the test coin in?
If everything is working well on the exchange, your BTC and ETH address gets generated once you create a user. In case it didn't it will once you click Deposits. Ignore the USD part.. no wallet address there since there are no deposits or withdrawals for USD.

I've got a similar error message when I tried to put a password like 12345!@#$%
It worked after I've changed the password (and not the temp e-mail provider).
Perhaps he/she forgot to lift that restriction from other fields other than the "email address".

I will change the code to prevent these mesages from being echoed to the user.
I'm not sure if you've already made the changes, but it's still appearing on my end [incognito mode].

Initially, I had a deposit address for both BTCitcoin and ETH, but now, the latter one is gone:

All withdrawals till date have been sent successfully. Please check your wallets.
I'd like to confirm that I received mine Smiley
- I've deposited back a certain amount to do more tests, but since blocks are being mined a bit slower at the moment, I'd be doing the tests at night...

Btw, your website appears to be less responsive today!

Was there any withdrawal fee on your page or not?

Did you receive the complete, exact requested amount?

If possible could you all please update me as to how much had you originally deposited and how much did you receive back. I do not keep logs Sad

All withdrawals till date have been sent successfully. Please check your wallets.

Let's do this again! [ Do not need extremely large deposits. Please deposit only rinkeby ETH. This time let's make some trades BTC<->USD BTC<->ETH ].
Spread the word.

Thanks.




[What do you mean this is an altcoin?
"USD is an altcoin".. means won't be giving it too much importance pairwise. No deposits or withdrawals are there for USD, none planned. Might remove it entirely, not sure yet.

Quote
Is there any blockchain behind that altcoin or it's just a number on a screen that you can fully control supply and printing?
Once testing is completed and you start real website with real coins on mainnet, how can people withdraw this USD ''altcoin''?
That would defeat the purpose and nobody would trade. As mentioned above I might remove USD entirely from the exchange. Undecided for now.

Quote
Was there any withdrawal fee on your page or not?
Please check the address you specified at the time of withdrawal. I can see confirmations here. You should have received it sans the fees.
Yes there were fees, FAQ page has the details.

I don't know if anyone else had this problem, but it happened several times to me that I had to login again, if I just return to previous page or if I refresh the website.
I have to be honest and say that navigation on this website is terrible for me, it looks like a bad time travel 30 years back in past Tongue
Now I am waiting to receive some testnet coins from faucets.
Yes I am sorry about the UI. I have kept the buttons in place to enable navigation. I know refreshing will take you back to the main login page. Apologies for the inconience, just trying to keep the exchange secure.. so refresh, etc.. any foul play and you are back to the login screen.. sort of like a paranoid banking website.

And my withdrawal was not honored - no coins have arrived to tb1qs026jqnqceuuk0th3krkqhlfnx6l8d4k8qf4rh, and my account balance also shows now 0 BTC.
The lost tBTC is not a problem, I was actually testing the withdrawals Grin, but you should know about it since you may have a problem there (whether is it an error or just a delay, I can't tell)

There was one point about withdrawals: I should have had 0.001 BTC locked for the order, still, the withdrawal page allowed withdrawal of my full amount, including that 0.001 BTC. Imho this can lead to problems.
Yes it might still show you that the order is open but when the execution time comes, it will delete that order since it checks the balance first.

So far noone has received their coins back. I have already finished setting up my old wallet and will send your coins back in a few hours.

I may give it another try tomorrow.
Thanks that will be appreciated again. Need more people to deposit, trade and withdraw.

I can see withdrawal requests for 2 users. Both would be honored! Need some time to set it up. Would you like to test trading for some more time?

Hey NeuroticFish, thank you for testing the exchange.
Quote
It worked after I've changed the password (and not the temp e-mail provider).
There are some special character limitations.


Quote
a link to the start page
I know.. but if you see notice carefully, there are no anchor HTML HREF links whatsoever.

Quote
is my temp mail broken, so no biggie,
No confirmation email is sent to the user. The exchange has no reservations regarding the temporary / permanent email address you prefer to use. I think temp-mail copies a stray 'space' in the clipboard. (Not sure though)


Quote
made an odd sell order because I was allowed to.
Yes you can set an order for any price, unline other exchanges. It doesn't have to obey the market avg. price brackets.

Quote
Just now I cannot delete it:
The OrderID in your screenshot shows strange characters. Yes that is odd. That's a bug! A cog was missing, just fixed it. OrderIDs should show up just fine now.

I have cancelled all open orders for everybody but need people to trade ad verify if they got what they exchanged by paying what they offerred.

Withdrawals are not automated.

    Okay so those are just debug messages. The system upon discovering absent files, just informs us and goes ahead and creates it (at the first user creation, if the files aren't there yet). I will change the code to prevent these mesages from being echoed to the user.

    Quote
    When trying to place an order, it doesn't show an order ID or a confirmation [nothing happens other than showing the amount I wish to spend]... Is it supposed to be like that?
    Something was missing in the system. I added that piece. When you place and ORDER it will now show you an order ID (like it was supposed to) once it has verified that you have enough balance and it will place an order. The order ID, units, buying/selling price and the coin name will be visible under OpenOrders.


    Quote
    You might want to consider showing the limits on the withdrawal page [*Update: Just saw the above post now].
      I will take that under advise and mention the limits.


      Quote
      It'd be nice to have more buttons on certain pages and also allow us to open the links in other tabs.
      In the future, yes, might add it. For now keeping it minimal and simple... sort of non-overwhelming.

      I've got a similar error message when I tried to put a password like 12345!@#$%
      It worked after I've changed the password (and not the temp e-mail provider).

      ---
      Also, a link to the start page - from both error pages or successful account creation - would be nice.

      ---
      Also, I don't know if it's missing from your side or is my temp mail broken, so no biggie, but there was no account confirmation mail.



      Some more:

      The transfer and current acknowledged/known confirmation count should be shown (not credited) after it reached the mempool or got at least one confirmation, so the user knows the everything is fine and he has only to wait.

      ---
      I've made an odd sell order because I was allowed to. Just now I cannot delete it: it kicks me out from the account when I press [delete]



      ---
      While the order was still there, I was allowed to withdraw my whole amount of tBTC, excepting the fee. (Just it doesn't seem to get processed). Shouldn't the amount from the sell order stay locked?

      Thank you for the inputs. The GUI will get fixed. As of now the focus is on the trading and exchange part of it. I have myself extensively tested deposits and withdrawals (manual as of now), although, would appreciate some fresh eyes.

      BTC is the main token, USD is an altcoin on this exchange Grin

      You can deposit and withdraw only BTC and ETH. The website has all the details mentioned regarding pairs, fees, etc.
      There is no minimum withdrawal limit set by the exchange (other than whatever minimum limit the testnet imposes). There is no minimum deposit amount.

      You can deposit test BTC and trade for USD or test ETH
      You can deposit test ETH and trade for USD or test BTC
      More to be added.. taking requests, feel free to suggest.

      I registered on your website skipping those warnings, and I will send some coins for testing in next days and send more feedback.
      For start, I can say that you certainly need to make better gui interface and fix that flashing scruplex log that is flashing non-stop on the top of the screen.
      It seems that we can only trade Bitcoin with Ethereum or with USD, so is this real us dollar or some stablecoin token?

      It seems that there's an issue with "some [e.g. Temp Mail]" of the temporary email providers and it kept showing the following error [until I switched to another provider]:

      Since I have some testnet coins, I guess I could also assist with testing. What is the minimum deposit or withdrawal amount?

      I think it would be best if you posted the link to your platform so anyone can test it. You would probably get more people interested that way. Best of luck!

      Imho it would have been better you post the link and more people enter, then you may reward the first 20-25 genuine/new feedback.

      However, one important point is needed: what's the minimum tBTC one has to have to get to test your platform?

      Seems harmless enough.  So long as people aren't downloading anything or giving their personal information I think this might be a nice project to get involved with testing.  You can also get testnet ETH easily enough with the Rinkeby faucet or by asking on Twitter/Reddit/Discord for some.  Good luck with the project and I'm glad to see people willing to help you out with testing here.  Always great to see new projects and active development in the community.  I hope we're able to watch as you grow it beyond the testnet.  Smiley

      You can count on me for the testing phase... You might want to also consider disclosing the link in question while having a limit of 50 for the sign-ups [less effort = more responses]!
      1. Honestly you'll have harder time looking for tester since not everyone have testnet coin. As for myself, i returned few micro tBTC to faucet where i got tBTC after i done experimenting with LN few years ago.
      2. Since it's not easy to obtain tBTC in big quantity, you should specify minimum withdraw/deposit amount of your exchange.
      If I'm not mistaken, I had about 0.07 tBTC lying around ... I would gladly take part in the testing, but for the next few days I will be busy for obvious reasons. So if any of you are interested, write to me and I will give you a private key from my tBTC (and you will share with others if you wish).

      By the way, here are a couple of useful links ..  Wink

      Sure, I am willing to test your exchange and give you my honest feedback.
      Is this something centralized so we should do regular login with our credentials or something different?

      If this thing succeeds and I move to mainnet, I will ensure to reward participants with mainnet tokens (BTC/ETH/whatever you need). Hope you will say yes  Smiley[/font][/color]
