Not sure about your time zone, but it's still Friday the 28th here.

I've personally been in the office pretty much non stop all day fixing last minute things that cropped up. You launch a website and tell me everything ran smooth

Yes. Running final checks. Linking coins. Watch twitter for live updates. @all_crypt

And ya know what MeiBi? I have better things to do than spend hours debugging the coin's bad code. *I* have absolutely no incentive or reason to do it, when the coin has a community and a developer.

Yet, somehow, you put the onus on me to fix the problem.

I dont care if the coin is on the exchange. I have 45 others to deal with as I type this.

You guys fix it.

I've been posting in the marketplace forum, but wanted to bring this into the general Altcoin forum to spread the word.

Our new exchange, AllCrypt.com is opening tomorrow, Friday, February 28th.

The idea started when myself and some friends and business associates were trading on other exchanges, and got into a discussion about how much we disliked:
Slow deposits and withdrawals
Horrible customer service
Picking and choosing coins seemingly at random. Ignoring coins with high community backing, adding random coins that no one knows why.
Sloooooowwww sites
Ignoring user requests.

I thought, hey, I've done IT for 20 years. I can code that site. Friends in marketing, security, and design all thought it was a fantastic idea.

AllCrypt.com was born.

It's been in development for a while now, and is ready to launch tomorrow.

Features we are very proud of and hope you are too:

• Coin adding is transparent and fair. Coins can be voted on on the voting page (currently in beta at www.allcrypt.com/beta/voting.php) and the top coins get added as we have time to add new coins. Only restrictions on what we'll add is we cant get sued for adding it, you have an open source working linux wallet - if its not on github that hurts - it's hard for peer review if it's not easy to find, and it's not morally reprehensible. Certain coins get a free pass, such as the highly profitable coins mined at places like multipool.us - but other than those, vote and your coin gets on. Even if no one else "cares".
• We highly value your security. We went to great lengths to add tons of OPTIONAL AND CONFIGURABLE security features. We absolutely hate sites with either really crappy security (one exchange we are on, after going on vacation for a week, we sign on to see we're still logged in. Our login NEVER expired!) or absurdly annoying security (when one site needed a captcha for EVERY login). We have lots of features, from email alerts for various functions, to adding multiple email addresses, OPTIONAL email confirmation for withdrawals, two factor authentication, and locking saved withdrawal addresses - we let YOU choose your level of security.
  
• We highly value your anonymity. We have an account option which allows you to remain completely anonymous. The only requirements are a username, a password, and we make it mandatory to have a two-factor google authenticator/authy authentication. We do not have your contact info, or your IP address (it is explicitly NOT logged). I, personally, am a libertarian. You're not hurting anyone by trading crypto. I see no reason to reveal your info to anyone. Keep in mind however - without an email address - we CANNOT verify you if you forget your password or lose your 2FA method. Being anonymous comes with a price.. Be careful.
• We believe that we are all profiting from the crypto craze, and we believe others should too. Every trade that happens on AllCrypt.com - a portion goes to charity. The charity can be chosen by each user, as well as the percentage of each trade - a range from .05% (the default and minimum) all the way up to 5%. We want to help. We only donate to crypto accepting charities. This helps in two ways - neither us nor the charity pays any fees, and it helps spread the word about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency. If we're willing to give you money - but only if you accept bitcoin... who would argue? Currently the only charities on the list are Seans Outpost, who has officially accepted us as a partner, and the AllCrypt Charity Pool. If you cannot decide (or do not care) which charity you donate to, the funds go to the AllCrypt Charity Pool, and every month we will pick a charity to donate to. If we process 5,000 BTC a month in trades (less than half what other exchanges do), at the minimum of half of 1/10th of a percent of each trade, we will be donating 5 BTC a month to charity. At today's price thats a bit under $3,000. With users voluntarily donating more, and as trade increases - we stand to make a difference.

We built this exchange from the ground up. No open source software or possible security holes that we are unaware of or can claim non-responsibility for. We built it, we coded it, we are confident in it.

We have cloudflare DDoS protections - we hope that helps. We were very proud to be the target of a DDoS attack from Russia the other day, before we even launched. We took that as being in the big leagues. Cloudflare quickly clamped down on it and we were back up within minutes.

Our website is PCI compliance scanned (even though we do not process credit cards) to check for vulnerabilities we may have missed.

Our code has been gone over multiple times over to protect from things like SQL injection attacks. Every SQL command has been reviewed and we believe, to the best of our ability, that we are "immune" to a SQL injection attack. Now that I've said that, I fully expect to be slammed soon! They'll help us find any holes and patch them up though!

We employ a 'cool' storage wallet feature. It's in the works now and will be fully implemented within the week. In short, without giving too much away and giving attackers any more info than they need, there is a 'cool' storage system that will hold the bulk of our coins, which is on-network, but insulated from the internet as a whole by multiple firewalls. Multiple systems would have to be breached before the wallets could be accessed. By the time that happened, our alert systems would trigger and we could cut the connections. Users will be given the ability to select their protection level. They can each choose what percentage of coins that we keep in cool storage. All trades will be unaffected, but withdrawals may be slightly delayed when taking coins from cool storage.

And while on the topic - deposits. All deposits will be available for TRADE after a single confirmation. Until deposits are fully confirmed, all withdrawals are disabled (to protect us from double spends, forks, etc) but you can trade the coins. No more waiting for 3, 6, 10 confirmations to trade. You need to move coins FAST to get in on that hot coin? AllCrypt.com is where you want to be.

Unfortunately - we cannot affect the speed of withdrawals. We were testing tonight and tried to withdraw some MOON to a personal wallet, and it took 10 minutes for the coins to get picked up in a block. We have no control over that. We repeatedly checked the transaction logs and the blockchain - and it wasn't us. The transaction was just not picked up.

And now that I'm absurdly tired from coding, testing, and scanning all night... our last feature we are extremely proud of.

We claim that the emails we send you (password resets, withdrawal confirmations, security alerts, etc) are "phish proof" - assuming you take a simple step to be sure the email we sent is legitimate.

Every email we send you is signed with the private key of one of our BTC addresses. The address is published on our homepage, in the footer of our site, and we registered the address with blockchain.info. Copy and paste the email into your bitcoin-qt client, put in our verified address and signature key, and you can verify that AllCrypt.com actually sent the email. To our knowledge, we are the ONLY exchange, anywhere, to be able to say that if you take a moment to verify the email, you can be sure that any email you see from AllCrypt.com is, beyond any doubt, legitimate.

You can read about how to do this verification at our help site: http://support.allcrypt.com/hc/en-us/articles/201153320-Verifying-AllCrypt-com-signed-emails

It's really hard to remain professional in the face of utter ignorance.

*sigh*

Please tell me you're joking.

Want to put it out there publicly that AllCrypt.com would be happy to handle the conversion of CHA to BTC and assist in the donation. All fee free, of course. A basic tenet of AllCrypt.com is charitable contributions.

If the dev would like to contact me, and if he is interested, I'd love to help. The only roadblock is making sure there's a market for the coin. CharityCoin doesnt do a charity any good if they cannot turn it into fiat to pay for the services they provide. Thats where the community comes in - promotes it, makes it's mission known, and gets the coin out there and profitable to trade. Only then is it worth fiat and can help the "outside world".

bitcoin100.org is a great resource for connecting with crypto accepting charities as well.

Thanks Mortimer452 - I appreciate the bit of validation there. I had to deal with a lot of "You're compiling it wrong" in this thread. Like I said - it's not us, it's the wallet.

For those who don't run an exchange: The database and background services MUST be able to talk to the wallets to monitor transaction activity, process deposits and withdrawals, and update accounting. The processes do this via RPC calls. If it CANT run the RPC calls, it can't be on the exchange.

I'd love to have Atom on the exchange. But it's clear the developer does not care. Its been weeks now with no response.

I'm sorry guys... if someone manages to fix it, we'd be happy to add it.

Sorry. I knew it wasn't .com. I was thinking of... um... no idea what site is .pl now that I think about it.

Yes, it is. There are other multipools other than multipool.pl

Chill. We "aint open yet".

While coin voting is the #1 way coins get on the site, we wont be much of an exchange if the coins the multipool users are mining arent added. I personally have 3 mining rigs. The reason we started this exchange is I, personally, was pissed off at the way [not throwing anyone under the bus]'s exchanges worked. I still multipool mine. So do a few of our team. We're sure not trading those coins on someone else's exchange.

That being said - have you seen the list? I count 23 coins we've added SO FAR that are NOT multipool mined, and added by voting.

Not a single voted coin has been bumped because we're adding OTHER coins that make the exchange more useful for everyone.

Launching Friday!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=488010.new#new

Just a quick note, no fancy graphics or images. We are opening on Friday the 28th. We were hoping to open today, but decided last minute to implement a host of security features. You can read about the security features here: http://support.allcrypt.com/hc/en-us/sections/200217370-Account-Security

The rest of the FAQ and info pages are here:
http://support.allcrypt.com/hc/en-us/

We're doing a last push to get coins added. We're not sure how many. In our spare time we add a coin or two. We are updating the voting list now to reflect the coins that have been added to date.

You can feel free to post questions or comments here, on our facebook page at www.facebook.com/allcrypt, follow us on Twitter @all_crypt, or vire the community feature requests and general discussion at: http://support.allcryt.com/hc/communities/public/topics

We'll see you soon!

Last minute over the weekend we decided to implement a ton of security features. It went slower than we hoped.

Let me be very clear: As soon as the security features are working, we are opening in a beta mode. Not those sites who are perpetually in beta, truly a "we're not done yet, but coins are secure and trading works so why wait" beta.

Coins near the top of the voting list have already had wallets downloaded, we just havent updated the list. That being said, pass this on to the devs if anyone is watching:

PikaCoin is utterly broken. The wallet wants RPC authentication to even use command line arguments (pikacoind getinfo returns a username and password error).

The top voted coin, WallStreetCoin has, as far as we can tell, ONLY a compiled binary unix wallet. Yes no thanks. We only use open source wallets. We are adding a requirement shortly where you MUST have a git link to your wallet. No hard to find obscure hidden source code.

I think there was another issue, it was late last night. Dont remember.

Anyway. Hoping to launch very soon. If the code goes well tonight, possibly Tuesday morning. We are on a production server, cloudflare is active, SSL is acquired (waiting on our upgraded SSL approval), helpdesk system is mostly in place. Blog is up, but we have no articles.

Feel free to view the helpdesk system, FAQs, and all thats there already: http://support.allcrypt.com

We will see you all VERY soon!

Moleculecoin obviously doesn't care if the wallet is broken then. I'm more than happy to add it. It was lucky and was a top vote before we got a lot of attention and was added in the first batch.

But until our system can actually speak with the wallet - theres not a damn thing we can do.

We are hoping for Monday. We all have a busy weekend so we aren't sure if we can make that but as long as critical bugs are squashed we should be able to open on Monday.

Because you'not not reading.

I ALSO got it to compile and run correctly. I never complained about that. You keep posting about it's algorithim, which has NOTHING to do with the RPC interface.

Yes I'm sure I built it correctly. It compiles. It downloads the blockchain. It sends and receives coins. The RPC does not work. I know the server's RPC works because it works with 27 other wallets. Atom is the one that doesnt work. The same RPC calls that work in all 27 other wallets does NOT work with atom. The wallet returns an error.

I love how this has turned into my team not QA'ing OUR software. TWENTY SEVEN other wallets work. Atom does not. Yes, obviously our fault. Want the error? Here's the error. Fix your crappy wallet.

Error connecting to wallet ATO while polling exception 'Exception' with message 'Incorrect response id (request id: 1, response id: )' in /[path removed]/jsonRPCClient:143 Stack trace: #0 /[path removed]/poller(14): jsonRPCClient->__call('getinfo', Array) #1 /[path removed]/poller(14): jsonRPCClient->getinfo() #2 {main}

Your wallet did not respond to a simple getinfo call. All twenty seven other wallets do.

I have a shitty attitute because from the beginning I described the error, and I was told to load the blockchain, or told that it has to do with the algorithm, and now told that it's MY code not being QA'ed and us having no development experience.

From someone who does not even understand the error we are having. You have a wallet that has an error in it, that you never bothered to fix, that needs to have a blockchain file loaded to even get it to sync, yet you blame ME for another bug in your wallet.

At the end of the day, we have an exchange to run with piles of coins that have working wallets. Fix the wallet, or, just don't be on the exchange. Simple as that.

We are working on the buy/sell matching system for AllCrypt.com and in testing it, we ran into an interesting little dilemma.

Say there are sell orders at 250, 251, and 252 satoshi.

Someone for whatever reason - doesn't care, typo, whatever, lists a sell order for 200 satoshi. Way under the current price of 250.

I place a buy order at 250 not noticing the 200 sell, maybe they are placed at the same time, whatever.

Should the 200 order be ignored? Only buy the one at 250?

Or I snap up the 200 order? If the 200 order is bought - do I still pay my offer of 250 and the seller makes more than they thought?

Do I only pay 200 and get a refund of the unspent funds?

It's hard to test how this works on other exchanges because of the volume. We can't exactly list a buy and sell and be sure we're buying and selling the right coins.

We want the system to work and be fair. So we're leaning towards the buy and sell prices having to match exactly. The problem with that is say there's a coin trading at .0025, and someone lists a buy order at .00250001, and he wants to buy 10,000 of them. There may be a ton of .0025 and .002504 sell orders, but he wont get any if no one lists at exactly .00250001 even if he's willing to pay more than the going price of .0025.

Just looking for some input so the system is fair and balanced.

Ok, please stop with the quark algorithm crap. The algo used to mine/validate the coin has NOTHING to do with how the wallet speaks via RPC calls.

The wallet is broken, it does not handle RPC calls correctly. Until that is fixed, it cant be on the exchange.

We've been working hard and we will be opening the doors soon. We have found, through years of experience, that no matter how hard we test systems, end users are smarter than we are.

We are looking for alpha testers.

What we ask of you:
* Make an account. Forget your password. Set up 2FA. Disable the 2FA.
* Deposit
* Actually trade. Even if the trades are barren, put up stuff to sell. Buy stuff that may not be a 'great deal'. Don't go giving away tons of BTC - we're not reimbursing any stupid trades you make
* Withdraw your funds.

And most importantly: LET US KNOW WHAT BREAKS! There is only so much testing we can do ourselves. You guys are the ones that can break it. We want you to break it. We want to fix all the bugs before it goes live.

Alpha testing will be limited to a small number to keep the damage manageable. All alpha testers will be rewarded in some way. We're working on that.

If you're interested, go to www.AllCrypt.com and fill out the form, even if you have already done so, and let us know you're willing to alpha test. You might lose some coins. Anything that goes wonky we'll try and fix, but we're not guaranteeing that you make a stupid profit here. This is alpha. It's testing for bugs.

I've been coding since 10am and its now 10:23pm. Time to take some time to relax at the bar. Have a great night guys.
