This. A live chat for customer support would be even easier, and convenient.

It would be convenient for the user, but not so much of a viable option for exchanges that are looking to operate a cost efficient suppert desk.

I know from experience that most of the users who seek support through live chat are doing that for the most silly (non support related) reasons, which is something you can't protect yourself against. Another thing is that when for whatever reason the live session ends, you will need a ton of luck to connect back to the same person you were chatting with.

More manpower behind email support would be appreciated. If they can operate so that you get a reply within a few hours, that would be ideal.

The main thing is that people expect too much from exchanges that are clearly profit oriented. They will never be perfect, not even remotely close.

You're correct. For the short term we will need to be rather cost efficient. Good and fast email support is nice but can also cause a lot of miscommunication. However, step by step we will create tools that will make the live features more convenient cheap, effective, and of high enough quality. Its a matter of developing the right protocols and understanding the needs of your core users. If you have more suggestions please let us know:)

Live chat feature we will work on which is part of our customer relationship management framework. We want to make each customer a loyal long-term customer. Based on our model, the more you utilize our platform the more monetary and non-monetary rewards you will receive. This can also mean VIP customer service if you are in the 'top tier'. Naturally others will also get high-quality customer service but we can create special treatment for our most loyal users. Let me know what you think of this new customer relationship philosophy within the crypto space.

I am not so sure about the VIP thing, very few would be willing to do it. You have to gain the trust of your userbase for that. And if you want to do that, start with giving users access to their account private keys if you it is possible, many users will get on board just because of that, albeit I am not so sure how you will do it

I mean, live chat could be implemented on a later stage, that shouldn't be a big issue. The users won't have to worry about speaking to a certain agent, as the mechanism could be built in such way that the live chat agents could be transferred to one another, and if not, the other agents could view the previous chats that took place, kinda like amazon.

But since this also feels like asking too much, email support would be good I guess, so long as at least they are active, and care about their userbase.

many exchanges provide bad services, I would like to see the following:

- Have an ANN thread where at least one person of the support that answer the customer's complaints;

- On twitter have at least one support person who answer customer complaints;

- In the telegram have at least one person of the support that answer the clients' complaints;

- Have a physical office so people can complain when the case is very serious

- The owner of the exchange and his team show their faces so that people know that it is the owner of the exchange and who are the members of the team, this brings security in people who will use the exchange

i think the bolded parts are contradictory. shapeshift provides liquidity by market marking multiple altcoin exchanges. this requires centralization and trust. with a completely decentralized order book (and this technically can't be done yet in a trustless way), you won't have such clean access to liquidity. what you see is what you get.

fiat is also problematic because transacting with it at all requires trust---bank and e-wallet transfers can be reversed, accounts frozen. and the very idea of "customer support" for a DEX seems like a conflict.

in order for a DEX to be truly decentralized---and therefore safe from government pressure, meaning seizures and blocked funds aren't possible---we can't have these centralized conveniences. it needs to be 100% built on smart contracts, distributed p2p servers for decentralized order books, decentralized domain. there can't be a centralized point of failure.

we are still several years away (at least) from this sort of breakthrough IMO. i really don't know what will happen re governments in the meantime.

Boy did I not think this through enough. Fair enough on the buying crypto thing, I am a knucklehead for not thinking about it.

If my dream exchange is only gonna be in Unicorn land, then I at least ask for the original shapeshift kinda exchange to come back, it was hella convenient when you don't have to sign up and when no kyc is required.

Don't want to overact here since it's really impossible to have a perfect exchange.

Usual problems:
1) Customer Support
Minor or major problems, it should be addressed and solved within a day. The investigation should only last within a week but only on serious or major ones or much shorter if the user was able to provide all proofs. In other words, customer supports should be active 24/7 and responding quickly the moment the customer sent a ticket.

2) KYC
Don't ask too much of the details. Yes, it's mandatory since exchanges are complying with the law but not too much to the point that, National ID is given, Driver's license is given but still not passed the verification. The verification process should be done in just within a few hours.

3) The smoothness of the transaction
No more delays especially in the deposit once it was confirmed in the network. Traders want a fast phase!

Don't jump into a new feature. Instead, focus on improving the usual exchange concerns first.

Pay out a percentage of staking rewards to depositors of POS coins. This would allow customers to "hold" the coins and reap staking rewards while simultaneously setting limit orders in case of a price increase.

I'm not aware of any exchange that does this -- and maybe there's good reason for that. I haven't thought through all the logistics.

Binance does that for few coins/tokens, It would be nice if they did it for all the POS coins. Coinbase has started staking service for Tezos and they might add more like it. I personally like staking by myself for the obvious reasons.

We are developing a customer relationship management framework with membership cards. What about membership card holders receiving a stake based on the card they have (either silver or gold)? You can only buy these membership cards with our own token when we launch it.

Low trading fee and high volume. TRON is good to trade but I wish to see the trading fees reduced. With the amount of volume of TRON, the exchange should be able to gain still even with low withdrawal fees.

And they give the GAS for NEO as well. Most of the exchange does an airdrop of some tokens I never knew. I like that but should just pick the ones with good value.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. We actually focus on all 3 points a lot already since we did extensive market research and many agree with your points. With regard to KYC privacy we have to look more into it.

Also, most people ask for decentralized solutions but still prefer centralized platforms due to its speed, liquidity and cheapness. There are already many decentralized solutions - that while they are not perfect - don't have even enough volume to be considered a okay-ish alternative. And because of that, they just die on the spot before even getting to be used.

All I ASK FOR IS: I want an exchange which is decentralized, operates worldwide, no user login, relatively better customer support, which kinda works like shapeshift, no verification/kyc, has all of the mainstream cryptos listed, an option to buy crypto with fiat and same for selling(and not like buying bitcoin and exchanging them, no, buying any crypto with fiat), incorporated into many websites and wallets like in Ledger Live, offering anonymity by using Tor/vpn, not blocking user's funds, having good how to guides and FAQs, and a live chat for issues .

Find me that exchange, I DARE YOU! Listen up, you business fellas, a golden opportunity for you guys, make me the dream exchange, and the crowd will follow.

Could you elaborate on this please? Did you have any bad experiences as an example?

Exchanges like Bitstamp are famous for demanding extra verification and some outrageously invasive information like tax documents if you trigger some unstated limit when you're supposed to be fully verified already. Others do it too.

I haven't experienced it myself because I've never sold enough but there have been enough cases I've read about.

If they want outrageous info then they should ask for it upfront before they have your balls in their hands. If I ever need to sell significant amounts I'll be using OTC operations that give you personalised service and leave you knowing exactly where you stand throughout. With an exchange you're just another ticket number.

Not trading itself, but I'd want verification that meant I was verified no matter what. I do not want unknown limits triggering and freezing me. I want full confidence that whatever I put through there won't be fucked with. It doesn't appear anyone can do this so I'll never use an exchange beyond piddling amounts.

there's no feature that alone could be a "game changer". as far as centralized exchanges go, it's all been done before.

the single most important thing is a superior trading engine. exchanges like kraken and coinbase are still struggling in this department. advanced stop orders and especially OCO (one cancels the other) orders would be nice.

Thanks for the suggestions. We actually have an OCO called Pie (see www.bartertrade.io). Let me know what you think of it and if there are some other things you may be interested in.
