Coinffeine the world first decentralized Bitcoin exchange in 70 countries

[misterycoins]

What the Coinffeine team in Spain is trying to accomplish is a decentralized cryptocurrency exchange. An exchange that does not have a central authority which leads to a single point which is prone to failure, scams, and other unpleasantries.

Looks pretty cool, i've been following the development of this for a long time. Is it really fully working now?
The bank will still see an incoming transaction tho, if you are moving too much money or too frequently, what will you say? We still are tied to banks as long as you withdraw to fiat.

[Amph]

this isn't something new, there is already a good attempt, at doing a decentralized exchange see bitshares 2.0, they also have their source code on github

Is it same to https://shapeshift.io/? As you mentioned, you act as an escrow, both parties are sending the fund to you! Our money's safety is still relying on your system. What is the level of your decentralization?

I hope this is the beginning of a new era of decentralized markets

markets are the bad part of bitcoin,manipulation is so hard

A lot of people try to say "use local bitcoins" but not everyone has that much local buyers waiting and buying consistently.  Especially if you sense a drop in price coming, or just need to exchange for fiat for any reason in a short amount of time, a direct sell always works best.

This is an issue that hopefully this exchange could get around.  What if they partnered with say xapo and allowed fiat withdrawals directly to your debit card and not necessarily to a bank?

It avoids central point of failure - True.

It prohibits scams - False.

Moreover, it can only be integrated with irreversible API enable FIAT payment processor, currently OKpay only.

Honestly,  I would like to see that first concept working first... because as you guys mentioned there are couple of great decentralized bitcoin exchange initiatives already but every one of them is in planning stage.
No one ever presented even working beta version of service like that. All we have are algorithms and source codes and we could never have real working exchange.

agreed

Is this working now or not? I have heard about it and followed this project a bit but lately I have completely lost the touch with it.

This is what crypto world needs badly, too many exchange failures in the past is what is hurting us a lot.

I dont really understand this to be honest. Will decentralized p2p exchanges like this allow for tons of transactions per second like it happens in centralized exchanges like the usual Poloniex, Cryptsy ones etc? because we need tons of transactions to do day trading if you are into that.
 Otherwise exchanges like this will only be useful for the occasional buy of BTC, just like LocalBitcoins.

Some people use platforms like localbitcoins.com a lot though and their substantial amount of trading is on that because P2P trading can still be digital and fast. So the demand for a decentralised marketplace is there. I do agree that for large trades online then major exchanges are more appealing but P2P trading is still popular.
