Welcome to Altcoin.io - Building a truly decentralized cryptocurrency exchange.

Built By Traders, For Traders. Early 2018.

https://www.altcoin.io

TLDR: We're a new project that is building a decentralized exchange. Altcoin.io’s mission is to bring the entire altcoin community together in creating a transparent, trustworthy, and honest market.

No ICO planned, not raising funding, simply looking to add value to this amazing community.

We’re less concerned with writing a white paper or conducting an ICO as we are with delivering on our promise to build a truly decentralized exchange.

DECENTRALIZED TRADING
Our mission is to create a decentralized altcoin exchange built by traders for traders.

24/7 CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Altcoin.io promises a high commitment to customer support with 24/7 availability.

SECURE AGAINST THEFT
Decentralized means you cannot lose your coins through hardware failure, lost credentials, or other negligence.

AMAZING USER EXPERIENCE
User experience that enables our users to make trades faster and without worrying if they’re exposing themselves to risk.

100% TOKEN CONTROL
Trade anonymously, securely, and stay in complete control of your funds without sacrificing trading speed.

Thanks everyone!

Sorry but I do not quite understand with this, does it mean that I wont get anything if I only have 9 referrals with great trading volume? I think it is not attractive referral program, you should not give a limit for this imo. Getting referral is not an easy work, so we should have to earn something no matter how many referral we have. At least give lower percentage for below 10 referred users.

Thanks for the feedback dustboy. We might consider running a signature campaign here that would allow for any referral to be counted but for the time being we have a minimum of 10 referrals to be collected in order to receive trading fees from those individuals. If you have any other feedback for us feel free to share. :)

It's not that hard to get referrals if you use social media.  I've already made 135 referrals with a total of two posts on Facebook.  Just got to get creative  ;)

Thanks CryptoKeeper802! We appreciate the support!

Here's a recent announcement we made on Twitter regarding our upcoming Atomic Swap wallet: https://twitter.com/altcoin_io/status/929870942435663877

Our Atomic Swap Wallet has been released - swap.altcoin.io (http://swap.altcoin.io). With this alpha release available, our hope is to bring atomic swaps to the masses and show how this technology has the potential to change cryptocurrency trading forever.

You can read more here: https://blog.altcoin.io/worlds-first-atomic-swap-wallet-from-altcoin-io-released-6f1cfc52d1cc (https://blog.altcoin.io/worlds-first-atomic-swap-wallet-from-altcoin-io-released-6f1cfc52d1cc)

While there is still a lot of work to be done, we wanted you to experience the power of Atomic Swaps as soon as possible.

Some quick FAQs:

- Our beta Atomic Swap wallet is only to be used with testnet
- This means that only you can not trade real tokens yet and that this release is for testing purposes. We’d like to ensure the security of this release before allowing real tokens to be atomically swapped.
- Only Ethereum and Bitcoin can be swapped for now
- Step-by-step instructions on how to use the wallet are below
- You will always be fully in control of your tokens
- Bug bounty available (please contact us at support@altcoin.io)
- We are not conducting an ICO for this project

What improvements are coming before the end of the year?

- A decentralized order matching engine
- An option to list many different tokens
- User experience improvements iterations
- Ability to trade directly from within your existing wallet
- Mainnet version launch after security audit is completed

How does the Atomic Swap wallet work?

To trade using our Atomic Swap Wallet, follow these instructions:

The first party:

1. Deposit testnet coins by clicking “Wallet” at the top
2. (Make sure to add both ETH and BTC)
3. Choose what to exchange (e.g. BTC for ETH)
4. Enter amount of currency for exchanging (eg. 0.12 BTC)
5. System “tells” you how much ETCs you’ll get (2 ETH)
6. Click “Submit”
7. You share that link to second party

The second party:

1. Receives link from you (sent via chat, email, etc.)
2. System “tells” him that he will give 2 ETH and receive 0.12 BTC
3. He agrees by clicking on “I agree” button
4. System checks “Wallet” to see if funds are available for exchange
5. Atomic Swap is initiated and completed

Hi guys! Any news about this project?

Im eager to get out of the exchanges and start using this idea!

Atomic Swap Wallet Beta Release

We’ve been working hard to bring atomic swaps to the masses and we’re excited to share our Atomic Swap Wallet Beta Release with the world.

Check out the Atomic Swap Wallet here: https://swap.altcoin.io

While building a decentralized exchange, we realized atomic swaps could do so much more. We could build a decentralized version of ShapeShift or Changelly — driven by a community — with more tokens, lower fees, and better security. So that’s exactly what we did. Leading us further on our mission to better trading for everyone.

A cross-chain decentralized exchange puts you in control. You can trade from your wallet without needing a centralized exchange like Binance, Bittrex, or Bitfinex. With our atomic swap wallet, you can exchange tokens without third parties and without losing control of your tokens.

What’s new with this update?
- Dozens of new tokens added
- Wallet creation & backup enabled
- Atomically swap many different tokens
- Mobile experience improved
- And much more

What’s coming up over the next month?
- More tokens added (30–40+)
- Auto order matching & order book
- Formal bug bounty for security
- Live mainnet launch

Hi Altcoin Team.

When Do you Launch your Altcoin Exchange? Thx

Greetz
Andy

Any news?? Still not started.....  ???

I'm trying to test the website but It's not working properly.

I created the wallet, set a password and downloaded the 12 words however, I'm stuck at "We are funding your account with some testnet coins. Please wait a moment..." where the page is loading.

EDIT: The problem now is that it's loading after I managed start the swap. It's stuck in the "Deposit" step and loading (even though the wallet already contain funds since it's from testnet).

Testnet Altcoin SDK!

Goal is to help power decentralized exchanges across the globe, but more importantly, create a shared liquidity pool to encourage adoption.

We've reached 70% of our funding goal in 7-days!

Feel free to share your feedback! Thanks for everyone's support!

Looks promising!  What's the roadmap for remaining dev and go live?

Thanks! There's still a good amount of work to be done but after we close our small seed round through Wefunder we're planning to reach mainnet by mid-Q4.

The main item we need to accomplish is really security tests which are incredibly expensive, but cheaper than being hacked obviously.

We also plan to expand our engineering team, support team, and operations team to ensure when we do go live we can support both novice & experience trader's questions.

how we can add coin?

I searched and couldn't find anything so I'm going to assume they are not doing it. They are focusing on delivering a working project first.

That is correct. Right now we're simply focused on development and innovation. Once we're closer to our Q4 mainnet release we'll be sure to release standard guidelines for token/coin listings but we'll be working to list Bitcoin, Litecoin, NEO, ETC, and other larger blockchains first before adding small-cap tokens.

We made two announcements today!
