I never signed up for a shitcoin mailing list, I signed up for a BITCOIN one. FUCK.

SO many decentralized exchanges and platforms under development. This is pretty good news. Everything will be decentralized in the future...including the government. Let's do this.

So you think Stellar is decentralized?  I'm not so sure...

Do you consider localbitcoins decentralised?

Do you consider localbitcoins decentralised?

Obviously no, since there's a centralized server (running in hetzner.de the last time I checked out) and there's a centralized reputation system which provides "trust" (running in the same server). Person to Person btc exchange is a nice a idea, but needs proper decentralization. Hopefully Mr. Malmi will sort that out soon:  https://github.com/identifi/identifi

Then we will have true P2P exchanges...

LBC provides a centralized feedback system, but users should really only use this for determining how likely it is that someone will show up to a trade. The same with listings.

When dealing with users via LBC, you should take the same precautions regardless of their feedback. It would be very difficult to create a marketplace that is truly decentralized in all aspects.

I guess it's also centralised escrow. P2P but centralised I guess is how you would define it.

A truly decentralised localbitcoins would be interesting. How the escrow would be handled would be an issue though I think.

If Stellar is anything like Ripple it will be more like being able to move funds from gateway to gateway. Not really anything like what I just mentioned unfortunately.

Well this was all hype.

I've still no idea what this is, but many people seem to be buzzing over it, though I think they probably just like free coins.

First rule about Fud Club, you don't talk about Fud Club.. Any questions?
