1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / How to be your own cryptobank, earn interest, and cash out anonymously on: June 29, 2020, 01:41:45 AM

This article describes how to setup your own stablecoin (DAI) based cryptobank using a decentralized peer to peer fiat gateway called FiatDex and decentralized lending protocols that earn interest.
2  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Buying stablecoins with fiat in a decentralized way? on: June 16, 2020, 06:13:48 PM
Is there a way to buy cryptocurrency (particularly stablecoins such as DAI) with fiat money without using centralized exchanges or centralized parties (such as arbitrators, mediators, watchers) that is secure?

Something like LocalBitcoins but without needing a 3rd party when there is a dispute. The reason I ask is that even with these non-custodial peer to peer marketplaces, there is still a central point of failure that would bring down the entire market if it goes off line. For example, if the mediators fail to respond on Bisq, Bisq stops working in cases of disputes.

Use FiatDex

FiatDex is a relatively new service ran on a trustless Ethereum smart contract that allows for two people to swap crypto for fiat without needing a 3rd party. This means no more middle-men and no more having to give out personal information to an arbitrator in cases of disputes. Instead, users work together to fulfill the terms of the agreement between each other. Using mutual collateral, both traders are incentivized to complete the trade otherwise they risk losing some of that collateral.

Website: https://happypsyduck.github.io/fiatdex-gateway
Contract: https://github.com/happypsyduck/fiatdex-gateway
Whitepaper: https://happypsyduck.github.io/fiatdex-gateway/whitepaper.pdf

Due to a collateral requirement, both users need to have cryptocurrency initially, so it is not for those who are completely new to crypto but rather for those seeking to get more or cash out.

A decentralized and anonymous fiat to crypto trustless swap process to trade fiat for DAI stablecoin without using a third party.

FiatDex is crypto to fiat decentralized protocol that uses the risk of collateral loss to force traders to cooperate in fiat to DAI swap. There are no 3rd parties or middle-man arbitrators. No need for reputation systems or identity checks. Users can exchange fiat for crypto anonymously and without going through a centralized gateway. The only requirement is that both traders have some DAI to start with as that will be used as collateral. This protocol is not designed for those without any crypto, but for rather, those seeking more (or needing fiat) without wanting to use a 3rd party.

Please read the whitepaper to learn more about the swap process and the technical details:

All feedback is welcomed.

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / What will the price of Ethereum be tomorrow? on: November 19, 2019, 06:55:59 PM
Post your price predictions Ethereum will be at in the next 24 hours and why.

Ethereum right now, according to CoinGecko, is $174.04.

I think it will continue to fall in the near future due to Bitcoin weakness to around $172 in 24 hours.

6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Simple Options: A provably fair trustless binary options smart contract. on: November 16, 2019, 01:40:06 PM
Simple Options
Version 3

Simple Options is an intuitive binary options market where users can bet against each other which direction they think price of Ethereum will go. You can buy "Call" tickets if you think the price of Ethereum will increase in the next 1 hour or "Put" tickets if you think the price will decrease. If you are correct in your prediction, you will be rewarded from the house pot split proportionally based on the amount of winning tickets you have compared to the total. Rounds last for 1 hour, but you can only bet within the first 30 minutes of the round. Ticket prices are based on the size of the house pot and do not increase in the round. Losers funds go to the house pot. Rounds must be manually started but gas is reimbursed.

If no one bets against you, and you are right with your prediction, when the round ends, you will be able to withdraw what you put in plus a part of the house pot. If the price doesn't change from start to end, the round will be a draw and everyone can withdraw what they put in. The price is sourced from compound.finance price oracles.

Unlike other binary options platforms, the entire market is ran from a smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain therefore it cannot be changed or manipulated by the creator of the contract. The source of the contract can be viewed publicly. This also means it is impossible for your funds to be locked or for the developer to run off with funds. The smart contract assures that this market is accessible forever. The website is stored on Github so you can download the website source to have a localhost view of the market.

9  Other / Beginners & Help / How to buy Bitcoin with fiat without using a third party intermediary on: August 09, 2019, 05:16:12 PM
Medium Article:
https://medium.com/@happy_psyduck/how-to-buy-bitcoin-with-fiat-without-using-a-third-party-intermediary-fb84086efaef

Most exchange methods to acquire Bitcoin with fiat require either trust in the escrow (or arbitrator) or the counter-party. This article describes trustless two party fiat to crypto trading.

All that is required is a small amount of ETH for the initial collateral. Because the collateral is returned after each swap, a person can repeat the swap to buy as much ETH as they want. Then use the ETH to atomic swap it for Bitcoin. No trust in a third party or counter-party is involved.
10  Economy / Trading Discussion / What methods currently exists to buy Bitcoin with fiat without a third party? on: August 09, 2019, 12:08:17 PM
What online methods currently exists to buy Bitcoin with fiat without a trusted third party?

LocalBitcoins has an escrow through a trusted third party, and Bisq has an escrow through a trusted arbitrator.

Are there any non-third party options out there?

Please share your thoughts here as this is Beta software that is open to improvement and suggestions. The basic protocol is designed to be integrated into ETH Dapps. A simple web client is included to show how to integrate the protocol and can be used for trading. The FiatDex protocol itself doesn't perform any order matching or have any order books. It is up to the traders to coordinate the details of the trade prior to use.
