Satoshi where are you when we need you?? You solved the Byzantine generals problem and invented distributed currency, okay. Now it's time to invent distributed exchange. |

How much do you want from one person? Geez! Why don't you ask him to bring on the second coming? Maybe he can stop the nuclear crisis in Fukushima while he is at it? |
Why does Bitrebel have 65+ Ignores?
Because Bitrebel says things that some people do not want YOU to hear.

Ask not what Bitcoin can do for you - ask what you can do for Bitcoin.

How much do you want from one person? Geez! Why don't you ask him to bring on the second coming? Maybe he can stop the nuclear crisis in Fukushima while he is at it? Seriously. What shape should a distributed exchange take? How can it be funded? I was thinking why not get a bunch of people together to pledge some bitcoin [full disclosure I only have 2 and am waiting to get more when the exchanges open up again] to invest in an exchange and charge a percentage of the exchanged money that gets split evenly between all the investors? As for the shape of a distributed exchange, I'm not so sure about that. Ideas? |

Can't see how a distributed exchange could work. Transactions need fast confirmation on an exchange. If not traders will not touch it and you need traders to provide liquidity. Imagine being in a fast moving market and taking a long position but not being able to confirm your order was filled until 10 mins after the fact. That's 10 mins of exposure where your hands are tied. You can't sell because the counterparty you're selling too can't be sure you've got the BTC to sell them.
Best option is multiple exchanges for redundancy and multiple clearing houses to link them so you make trades across exchanges. Under that model it wouldn't be so nearly impossible for a new exchange to break into the market because there clients could trade with clients on the other established exchanges. If not clearing houses then the exchanges need to provide facilities to make arbitrage viable. The arbitrage traders provide liquidity across exchanges.

I thought Satoshi retired and went back to playing Nintendo. Hmm, well one of his last posts he said he was moving on to, "bigger projects." Then again, you never know. Satoshi may still be amongst us (most likely) just under a different identity and less active role. He got spooked during the whole wikileaks cable release. He didn't want to be the next julian assange and he did a pretty damn good job of going into hiding. "WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us." - One of Satoshi's last remarks before leaving the community. |

"WikiLeaks has kicked the hornet's nest, and the swarm is headed towards us." - One of Satoshi's last remarks before leaving the community. i don't recall a reference to 'bigger projects', but i could be wrong. the reference to wikileaks was the result of a particular situation and was not, i think, meant to be generalised. as to the original poster's question, a distributed currency exchange is probably a pipe dream in practice. but the real solution to the problem is a distributed bitcoin economy, making currency exchanges less important. whether that distributed economy will grow is the crucial question facing bitcoin at present. it's been slow recently because most of the influx, even with recent mass press coverage, has been of speculators and miners. |

Just an idea - people provide limited access to their bank accounts to make money transfers, similarly how computers are made available for external traffic in the Tor network. This way a big distributed network is created, capable of making money transfers. To prevent stealing money from nodes, all USD/real currency in a node is backed up by freezing equivalent amount of node owner's BTC, as a guarantee. |

Regarding the effectiveness of Wikileaks, someone can tell me why the most important of whistleblowers got caught by the US government and sent to guantanamo? I thought wikileaks was to give whistleblowers a safe way to communicate information. Also, this video got me thinking who is really behind wikileaks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O69SCJAhUdI&feature=channel_video_titleIts a bit offtopic, but has to do with Satoshi more or less. |

He left when he realised that bitcoin became exactly that which he wanted to escape from.
How do you mean? |
