Awesome.  Can't wait for ETH support to bring in the drooling masses!

I wonder if Poloniex will get around to adding an ETH/XMR pair before Bitsquare makes them obsolete...

I doubt it. What is more likely, Polo will remove XMR market and replace with ETH one. More and more often i see ppl asking why there is even xmr market, when xmr has so low volume on polo as compared to eth.

Hueristic,

When Bitsquare grows to include lending/margin markets and Tether, why would anyone want to put up with Polo's counterparty risk, trading fees, KYC/AMA, and PG rated troll box?

Why do you want a G-rated trollbox?

Ease of use cuts both ways, EG when Polo is down from DDOS or too many users, or you are a user in New York State/Venezuela/Iran.

Convenience cuts both ways, EG when Polo demands to sequence a stool sample to authorize withdrawls (but not deposits of course) or when they get hacked/Goxxed.

Bitsquare only very recently got to the holy grail of a decentralized exchange.

Absent .gov crackdowns, they won't replace centralized exchanges soon(tm), but in a few years I expect to run Bitsquare on my phone (natively or possibly linked to a VPS backend like Mininero).


Agreed that decentralized exchanges are an important check against escalating KYC policies. I also wouldn't be surprised if govt regulation on crypto slowed down as a result of increased use of these systems.

I also expect fees on traditional exchanges to increase as large traders will be willing to risk less capital in favor of the security of the alternatives.

The answer, as always, is convenience and ease of use. Bitsquare requires users to run their own wallet software, where Poloniex is just a website that you can log into and trade.

I don't see centralized exchanges going anywhere soon.

I see them as completely different markets. Exchanges offer real time trading, but at the cost of custodial risk, less privacy, and possibly higher fees. Even without Bitsquare there has always been a steady stream of OTC trades of Monero (and I assume other coins) but Bitsquare should make it more convenient and possibly safer, and therefore increase the volume.

Brand-new Bitsquare release with Monero support!

https://github.com/bitsquare/bitsquare/releases/tag/v0.4.7

Awesome.  Can't wait for ETH support to bring in the drooling masses!

I wonder if Poloniex will get around to adding an ETH/XMR pair before Bitsquare makes them obsolete...

Has anyone tried the site (Monero or other coins)? It sounds like a great concept, but I haven't seen any user reviews.


TheKoziTwo did:

I've successfully completed one trade on bitsquare. This is fantastic news and I hope everybody support bitsquare by adding liquidity to the market. I certainly will.

This is major news. Especially if things go well with Bitsquare and monero can attract the kind of liquidity it has on centralized exchanges (mostly one though).
Can this exchange be used in an anonymous way?

From bitsquare.io:

But no worry the Bitsquare user don’t need to do anything. It is all integrated into the application and no special setup is required. There are also no performance drawbacks with the small amount of data sent by Bitsquare.

Using Tor not only solved the network connectivity issues but also adds the high level of anonymity Tor provides to Bitsquare. In fact we use Tors Hidden Services for every node to make the P2P communication completely anonymous (as far Tor provides that).

I speculate that in less than 2 years other cryptocurrencies (including bitcoin) will be implementing LMDB

Possibly.

and using Monero's implementation as a launching point.

Unlikely as the structure of the code base is quite different. Monero's implementation could be a source of sample code for people wanting to use LMDB for all sorts of things though.

I wonder how portable it is.

It seems quite portable when moving one application across platforms but different applications using the same database are still different.
