Decentralised-Liquidity Exchange -- 'D-L-Ex'

[IMZ]

' “catastrophic physical damage” to BA’s servers, which contain everything from customer and crew information to operational details and flight paths.'

Hmmm . . . this is perhaps worth mention 'cause it's a type of screw-up -- gettin' your servers blowed up -- that I haven't come across yet.

The point is to provide Liquidity without depositing your coins on a 3rd party exchange.
P2P contracts, can be registered on a block chain, collateral can be swapped, and adherence to the terms, cough, credibility, measured.  Yet collateral is held in 1st person terms.

Know thy privkey

I feel like decentralised exchanges don't really have a future, because the big problem is that settlement times are far too long. You can't make rapid trades and the market will lag significantly.

Semi-decentralised exchange fixes this issue by having fast settlement times and allows users to have full secure control over their hot wallets. Best of both worlds really.

Sometimes we need to take a step back and realise not everything can be decentralised and remain effective.

Welcome to Bitcointalk, doctor!

I sure do take your point, but the 'decentralisation' we're involved in here is a little different. Indeed, it's sort of . . . a centralisation! We also think that 'not everything can be decentralised and remain effective,'

All the long-timers who follow this thread -- I'm just front-of-house guy, doing the daily posts -- trade on centralised exchanges. But here we can arrange meetings, trade cryptos for goods and bullion, trade large amounts -- 'coin-wholesaling' -- in order to not rock the markets, especially of many smaller 2013-2014 POW cryptos that are popular with those who hang out here.

This is a project with long-term goals, now in its fourth year. Hope to see you become a regular.

This article is some of the most pathetic twaddle I've read in ages.

EDIT:

And now, same newspaper, an analysis of the proposal: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/06/01/blizzard-paperwork-cannot-disguise-need-euro-reform/

' . . . eurozone governments share debt obligations and start to issue common bonds.'


So what?

Well, campers, 'bonds' are a sort of currency. And a government can write a hundred bucks' worth, but they're only worth ninety cents in the dollar right off the press. And given a crisis, nine cents in the dollar.

House of fog and sand.

So, ‘a justification for beefing up the ability to track cryptocurrency payments [but] At the same time, those involved pledged not to violate user privacy rights . . . ’

It’s a special type of tracking, readers. You do it with a blindfold on so that you don’t notice anything about the users you’re tracking.

And the involvement of Finland’s National Bureau of Investigation? No, seriously, I hear that Finnish folk lie awake at night worrying about TittieCoin-ers buying fake Prada hand bags on The Dark Net – maybe the Government could put cameras in our smartphones and plasma screens to stop this sort of thing? No wait! They already have!

And the name? ‘ "Tools for the Investigation of Transactions in Underground Markets", or ‘TITANIUM’ ‘? I mean, the fact that the acronym came out as the name of a valuable metal? How come it never comes out as ‘ARZZGWOMBLE’? or ‘WAMOODIMPYGLUCK’? [Or even 'TOTITIUM'?]

And we all bloody know the answer: whole conference rooms full of pudgy-bottomed bureaucrats spend hours thinking these things up.

That’s the naked truth. You can imagine these men boasting to their wives over dinner that night: ‘Well, it came out first as ‘NINNKEEPOOOZIZZLE’! But a couple of hours brain-storming, and BAM!! -- Project ‘STRONGLAND’!

Oh, look! Economic recovery!

'The World Bank has upgraded its forecasts for UK growth over the next three years against a stronger global backdrop . . . '

But what I see here in Australia is, in fact, pretty much what CrazyPantsJournalism.com reckons:

'As more people are losing their full time jobs they often have to compensate by working multiple part-time jobs to make up for the lost income. For example a laid-off manufacturing employee might need to work 2 or 3 part-time jobs as a waiter at a restaurant and as an office clerk at a healthcare facility. When the BLS does their jobs count in the Establishment Survey they get 1 lost manufacturing job and 2 new jobs in services.'

'The infrastructure plan was loosely billed at $1 trillion in the heady days of the campaign. This dropped to $550bn during the transition. The sketchy plans released by the White House this week suggest that US federal government may not put up any new money at all.'
