Title: Pegging to fiat Post by: barbierir on May 04, 2015, 10:15:30 AM Is there any fiat-pegged and decentralized coin scheme that actually works? Is such a thing at all possible? It would be very useful for the transition from fiat to other cryptocurrencies, in most real world business the wild fluctuations of fiat/crypto price are a high impediment to adoption.

I don't know about Bitshares but nubits always seems to hover around the 95 cents to $1.00 range on CMC. Bitbay is supposed to be working on a pegging solution as well.

You're right, the chart at CMC doesn't show well this correlation and I was reading it wrongly. I found a better chart and indeed it seems to work for now... I need to study Nubit more and read about criticisms and their answers before using it Title: Re: Pegging to fiat Post by: solid12345 on May 04, 2015, 01:17:38 PM I don't know about Bitshares but nubits always seems to hover around the 95 cents to $1.00 range on CMC.

I need to study Nubit more and read about criticisms and their answers before using it I like Bitbays idea where it will effectively "lock down" coins and prevent mass dumping to maintain price equilibrium. I'm not sure if it can work or not it is so over my head but I like the idea of a world where if you want to cash out your crypto to fiat, instead of dumping on exchanges you are selling your coins for real-world goods or cash contracts on the decentralized marketplace. No one should have to be punished financially for either holding onto their coins too long or exchanging their coins for US dollars, it should all be fluid.

BitAssets are being redesigned to promote better liquidity. Check out the BTA 2.0 discussions here.. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16127.0.html https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16143.0/topicseen.html BitAssets on BitShares are collateralized with BTS on the decentralized exchange baked into the BitShares protocol. NuBits are traded between "custodians" on centralized exchanges to maintain the $1 peg, and have no blockchain enforced collateral backing them. I'll take the asset with backing collateral myself. ;) Title: Re: Pegging to fiat Post by: rich93 on May 04, 2015, 07:44:51 PM Is tether centralized?
