Title: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 07, 2014, 09:44:03 PM I am building an opensource Crypto currency exchange from scratch and will release the source code on here. Will take me a couple of months it'll be OOP, and using twitter bootstrap. I will release to the public once it's complete, keep an eye out. I've only just started. Register page is pretty much the same layout as cryptsy. Site will be run based on classes and functions MVC. All userinputs will be trimmed, escaped and secured to stop any sql injections. WIll also need people eventually to test for XSS and other types of flaws.
For an example, the $_POST will be passed through $system->secureinput(); function. Dashboard coins will be accessed via a htaccess rewrite: website.com/dashboard/market/coin Not too sure what coins I will be adding, but BTC, LTC and a few others are a must. Will eventually be adding a language file that can be edited via the admin panel Features built: - User register - User Login - Navbar - Sidebar - Dashboard - Profile - Language file added with an option for users to select language... - Added a timeline to show you all of your purchases. - Bitcoins can now be deposited and balance updates. To DO: - Get callback from OKpay for deposits of GBP and USD - Allow bitcoin withdrawals - Add LITC deposit,withdraw - Create a nice index page - Clean up a few things and it will be done Pictures: https://i.imgur.com/EQZtYmK.png https://i.imgur.com/y3SJo1u.png https://i.imgur.com/5Lgdekm.png https://i.imgur.com/y4Uflt9.png https://i.imgur.com/oVCFpCJ.png https://i.imgur.com/SnCkdGn.png https://i.imgur.com/PK3gdWH.png https://i.imgur.com/tHyhMog.png https://i.imgur.com/aMchU3d.png Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: hexafraction on December 07, 2014, 11:44:02 PM Looks very nice; will it integrate with all of the bitcoin-clones out there over RPC? What about unique coins (maybe over some sort of PHP-class that could be loaded for each distinct coin)? Maybe even some sort of integration with a bank/ACH API?

Looks very nice; will it integrate with all of the bitcoin-clones out there over RPC? What about unique coins (maybe over some sort of PHP-class that could be loaded for each distinct coin)? Maybe even some sort of integration with a bank/ACH API? Yeah, coins using the same source as Bitcoin and Litecoin should be pretty easy to implement. Regarding a bank, I probably will in the future, but I'm not too sure of what ones to add, but I will add paypal depositing money and withdrawing. Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 02:03:28 AM Added more functions
Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 03:06:29 AM Trade history is now working. Will start cleaning up a few things and start working on the Bitcoin api to generate a wallet to deposit bitcoins.
Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: meowball on December 08, 2014, 04:45:49 AM Nice project. Sounds like you'll be very busy for a while! ;) If it's open-source, when do you plan to show the repo? I could maybe contribute here and there when I have time. I'm pretty busy myself.
Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 05:13:36 AM Nice project. Sounds like you'll be very busy for a while! ;) If it's open-source, when do you plan to show the repo? I could maybe contribute here and there when I have time. I'm pretty busy myself. Thank you. The base of is coming a long very well. All I need to do is implement the bitcoin and litecoin api to create a wallet, check deposits etc, the website is pretty much trading now, I've just edited the credits via the phpmyadmin. I'd say a month and the repo will be released, hopefully that will include a fully functioning admin panel too. I don't want to release it while it's buggy, so I'll spend a certain amount of time testing every features. Hopefully this becomes something, I just hope to god it doesn't attract people who will just run it hoping for a quick buck. Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 05:23:21 AM Also, if anyone can create a Bitcoin and litecoin ticker, I'm currently using Blockchain, and when I release it that wont be included because it's bad practise, I'll grab maybe 5 tickers, round up the numbers and the average of that will be the price... I guess. I'm not too sure how I'll work that, any tips will be appreciated
Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: Small on December 08, 2014, 05:28:50 AM I like the clean design!
If you need any help with testing or debugs or anything like marketing or management, I'm glad to help out. Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: dezoel on December 08, 2014, 12:15:59 PM clean design!
I hope more than just exchange system, and one more, please add more language because most users in my country can't use english perfectly. I think this can be diferent with another exchange sites :D *just my opinion Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 01:24:23 PM clean design!

I think this can be diferent with another exchange sites :D *just my opinion Added a language option, but it will need translating, Once it's released we can all translate it. Title: Re: Building an exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 08, 2014, 02:46:16 PM Help translate guys, I'll adding more so keep an eye out for this updated post

Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: dallyshalla on December 11, 2014, 01:12:08 AM Sweet projects you have going here Gentleman,
Does this exchange project allow me to directly import my private key to use my coins without trusting any deposit? Sincerely, Dallyshalla Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: Bitcoin Explorer on December 11, 2014, 01:29:56 AM I'm more of a design guy (front end) and I must say.

Sincerely, Dallyshalla Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: PotatoPie on December 11, 2014, 05:16:30 AM PM me when you have it done and I'll look through the code for any possible security flaws.
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 12, 2014, 05:12:45 AM Added gzip to header so the html is now compressed load times are faster.
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: jokerboy on December 12, 2014, 05:23:55 AM Nice work, do you have a github account ?
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 13, 2014, 01:57:40 PM Not yet, but near project release I'll get one :)
Also guys added gettext for translations. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 13, 2014, 04:04:13 PM Added to MVC. Can make things easier for developers to access certain stuff for an example:
User information: Code: <?php And we can add text for peoedit for translations like so: Code: <?php It's coming along quite well. Keep checking back. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: mudiko on December 13, 2014, 04:33:35 PM looks cool and interesting. i wish it will work fine when u will publish it
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 13, 2014, 07:37:43 PM looks cool and interesting. i wish it will work fine when u will publish it It will do, will do a beta test for people to find bugs, I can patch them and then release the script. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 13, 2014, 11:54:48 PM Charts added to show a graphs of old trades from prices and times.
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: jokerboy on December 14, 2014, 12:15:11 AM When do you plan to release ?
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 14, 2014, 01:35:46 AM When do you plan to release ? Not too sure. Need to complete it first then have people test for exploits and then bugs, then the script can be released. Don't want to release it too early and then people use it and get hacked. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 14, 2014, 03:13:35 AM Are you going to release on git unbroken? Seems a lot of open source for exchange platforms are all broken and don't function how they should and it going to remain free? Yep, will release a full working repo... it's working now but adding more things and securing some stuff. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: jeffersonairplane on December 14, 2014, 05:00:14 AM open source is what caught my attention. Everything looks pretty good :)
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 15, 2014, 06:30:22 AM Need feedback features I can add? I've added a wysiwyg to add userguides....

How many trades/second can you handle ? Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 15, 2014, 07:11:29 AM Interesting. How many trades/second can you handle ? Not sure. I really couldn't say unfortunately, but the script load times fast so I guess it will depend on people's servers. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 15, 2014, 07:14:38 AM SMS verify and document verification as well as google auth basically google auth OR SMS 2FA if anything The document verification is what I am working on next :) I'll take a look at google auth and implement that too. Regarding SMS verify, I was looking at that, I will definitely add it as long as people know they need a gateway to use it and I think most are pay ones?

How many trades/second can you handle ? Not sure. I really couldn't say unfortunately, but the script load times fast so I guess it will depend on people's servers. I guess tuning the engine to handle large number of simultaneous trades is the hard part. I suggest doing a load test before going live. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: Bitcoin Explorer on December 15, 2014, 01:40:53 PM So far this has been really good. I've been having a look every day on the thread for at least once, it is really nice and the progress is drastic. Great job man.

Thanks bud :) This shows up on dashboard page and withdraw page, once we accept accept via admin panel the user can start trading... https://i.imgur.com/ZDRZsSN.png Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 15, 2014, 05:23:33 PM Added login information for security. show users who have logged in or tried logging in to their account. May add an algorithm to ban ip addresses for a certain amount of failed logs in with different emails.
So ip: 000:000:00:00 has tried to login to: email addresses and has failed *number of times* ban user. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: jokerboy on December 15, 2014, 05:23:58 PM When do you plan to release ?
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 15, 2014, 05:51:41 PM When do you plan to release ? If everything goes to schedule new year.

Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: IamAGentleman on December 17, 2014, 12:00:53 AM Won't be working on this project for a week or two. After that hopefully I can get back to it.
Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: walterVC on December 17, 2014, 12:29:09 AM Cool thing.
Whould it be possible for you to share the source code via github? You could do it while the project is in progress. Title: Re: Building an opensource exchange from scratch Post by: NarC on December 17, 2014, 04:18:29 AM Really like the design, even if it is just a $15 themeforest theme
