We're actively looking into listing on other exchanges. Will look at coinexchange.io as well.

Yes, the roadmap has been "set in stone" months ago, and we're delivering on our promises. Staking (profit share vesting) is set to start within a week.

Announcing BridgeCoin update 1.0.3 - HARD FORK

We've detected an offset in coin calculation, which would result the number of coins to be larger than 27 million. As we would like to keep the initially promised number of coins, we've decided to modify the blockchain consensus code, which will result in a hard-fork for all nodes using client version older than 1.0.3.

The consensus change only affects coins possibly mined after (and including) block 166954 (estimated time - November 28-29, 2017). All coins mined before that block are and will remain safe.

Again we urge all users, mining pool operators and exchanges to upgrade ASAP or at least before block 166954 in order to avoid disruption. All the nodes behind DEX and our seed nodes have already been upgraded.
If you are not using bridgecoin-qt client, you are not affected. If you're only using the CryptoBridge client you are not affected as well.

CryptoBridge DEX 0.9.3 Client released

We're proud to announce the 0.9.3 beta release of the CryptoBridge DEX client.

* Added Japanese language, kudos to @inoue and @bibop for the Japanese translations!

Download
All downloads for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux are available at https://crypto-bridge.org. If you're using the web wallet at https://wallet.crypto-bridge.org you'll get the new version automatically. Source code of this release is available at https://github.com/cryptobridge/cryptobridge-ui

Notes
If you're using the web wallet, force-reload the page to get the newest version. If you are deleting your cache for any reason, be sure to have written down your password or downloaded the backup beforehand. We cannot recover your password if you loose your backup/password!!

What's next
We're still working hard on enabling staking. There will be a another release in about a week to enable BCO staking. We're very much looking forward to this.

You're forgetting that the decentralized exchange is still early in development, and we have no funding either so things go slower as we can only work on it in our part time.

Having said that, we're constantly adding new coins (few this week) and are slowing attracting more volume as development progresses and more features are completed. Now's the time for interested parties to get in at a cheap price before exposure grows.

There was no premine in the beginning so there is no budget for bounties unfortunately. We would still appreciate any additional exposure everyone can offer. Spread the word!

If you still have problems with a stuck transactions, please reach out to us on Slack.

We have paid out the first week of market maker program compensation:

EOT 3034.69981800
BTC 0.02764665
XIOS 3.05162955
BCO 546.24098225
LTC 0.00418134
ETHCA 45.54125525
PIVX 0.00914818
DOGE 200.88902600
EQT 11.76250440
XVG 0.49818333

Next payout will be on Wednesday! You can earn 0.10% per filled order if you provider liquidity to an existing market on the DEX.

We're looking into it. We'll probably post a bounty to get it fixed.

Well, that's the CryptoBridge site which got a revamp. BridgeCoin site will be re-done soon, and the coin is BridgeCoin so the link is technically correct.

Announcing CryptoBridge Market Maker program

We are proud to announce the Market Maker program which allows all participants to earn money by providing liquidity to a trading market.

What is a market maker?
A market maker is someone who provides liquidity to a market. You can do that by creating sell or buy orders (limit orders), thus reducing the spread. This is good for markets: it gives other potential participants visible options and information. Thick order books also reduce slippage (ie. a large order doesn't spike the price as much, one way or the other). Thus adding liquidity to a market adds value to all existing and potential participants.

How does it work?
Once a limit order you placed gets filled, you're not only getting reimbursed for the trading fee, you actually receive 50% of the market taker's trading fee. At 0.20% fee per trading pair, you are actually earning 0.10% per filled order. Our goal is to improve liquidity and spread on all our markets. Payouts are happening on a weekly basis.

This program is limited until November 30th 2017. It is possible and likely that this program will be extended to stimulate liquidity and growth.

We have also re-made and relaunched our website available at https://crypto-bridge.org with an updated roadmap.

Thank you for your questions. Going to try to answer them as best as we can.

1) There are no shares in a company. There is no exchange company. This is a decentralized exchange supported by a group of developers (us). There's nothing to own other than being entitled to 50% fee payouts from the DEX as a smart contract, there is no exchange company where you could own shares or stocks.

2) Bridgecoin was fairly mined as a scrypt-compatible coin from Day 1. The dev-team mined in competition with everyone else, there was no pre-mine. The early miners can second that. Our mined BCO will finance the development of the decentralized exchange, assuming it reaches a higher price. Right now the funding is secured until the end of the year, as we were able to sell at the good prices last week. This is very much in contrast to the usual ICO launch where some budget is reserved.

Doing an ICO in our juristiction is very illegal and we want to stay out of jail, this is why we created BridgeCoin to finance the development of the DEX.

3) Future (business) development will be paid out of the 50% fee that stays with the CryptoBridge devs, or alternatively with BCO, if we haven't sold them yet, to finance the application. As there is no exchange company, there are no voting rights in what direction the DEX will take. Our experience with BitShares tells us that it is almost impossible to reach consensus in which direction the project should move, that is part of the reason why it is not very successful so far.

4) You're not investing into us, nor are we selling coins directly to you. You're buying them on the free market. You, as an investor, have to decide on the value proposition. You're welcome to compare this project to other (exchange) ICOs out there. Compared to them, we already have a working product and completed several milestones already. We're dependant on the BCO price to go up to continue to finance the development, so we're very commited to this project. There's nothing in for us to abandon the project since we're heavily invested in it. Knowing or not knowing who the devs are does not change this situation.

Last time I checked, all coins will be mined by late december this year. Staking at the DEX will be active by then so there's no need to be mining.

There was a problem with the pool, all the missing balances have been credited now.

There is an issue with the block explorer. It shows POS while there was no staking due to a misconfiguration. The top100 list is not accurate due to this. The correct supply currently is 25264960 BCO coins.

DEX deposit address is not really meant to serve as a mining address. Please PM us your pool account and we'll see what's wrong with your payouts (running fine for everyone else).

Not possible unfortunately, has been answered several times.

Please send your pool account via PM and we'll change the threshold for you.

Try again to register an account, should work now. Support is available in Slack during weekdays

Federated gateway network is currently in development. It's highly complex.

No, staking (=distribution trading commissions to BCO holders) is in development. It's the same thing, there is no "classic" POS-style staking in BCO.
