Any other similar crypto exchange projects out there as good as this one?

Looks like you're right. Glad I made the right call.  
I can't even find an exchange ICO that looks to be in the same league as STeX.

You mean STeX? It isn't. ICO Stage 1 is over - ICO Stage 2 coming soon.

Check their news section: https://stex.exchange/news

ICO Stage 2 will launch once the alpha release is out in march this year of 2018.

The price will be 2.5 ETH per 1,000 STE.

Here is a video preview of the exchange trading terminal, uploaded just recently. Things are definitely in the works.

No idea. I got in on the presale which was much cheaper.

Considering STeX EXCHANGE is providing 100% dividend distribution among token holders - I think that's still a good price.

I did set up a price prediction thread for STeX EXCHANGE here, but no replies yet.

Stex will be huge if they realize everything they have planned, i have also heard of a few similar projects like Arbidex etc, but at the moment i feel Stex is a way bigger and better project, lets wait for their platform launch.

They only take ETH.

Set up a new or use an already registered wallet at http://myetherwallet.com and send ETH from there. For newcomers wanting to pay with a credit card, you can easily buy some ETH at http://coinbase.com, then send that ETH from Coinbase to your wallet address at http://myetherwallet.com. Then - send the ETH from MyEtherWallet to the STeX Exchange once their ICO Stage 2 has launched.

ICO Stage 2 Price will be 2.5 ETH per 1000 STE.

ICO Stage 2 will launch once their STeX Exchange alpha release is out.
They think this will be in the midst or at the end of march.

IMPORTANT: Most people are aware of this, but do NOT send ETH directly from any exchange such as Binance, Coinbase, etc. Only send ETH from your personal Ethereum wallet such as a wallet created on http://myetherwallet.com, and make sure to set the gas high. You will probably be given a recommendation on Gas by http://stex.exchange once their ICO Stage 2 has begun.

2.5 ETH. Not 2 ETH.

The price is 2.5 ETH per 1000 STE in the upcoming ICO Stage 2 in mid/end of march.

Hi everybody.

I found an infographic about sTEX. Hope it helpful

in this particular case thats a great idea, to get a brand new wallet to participate in the ICO with. the thing about STEX EXCHANGE is that if you sell your STE tokens then those tokens will only receive 80% of the dividends from what i understand. meaning that if you buy STE tokens in the ICO and hold on to them then those tokens will be part of the 100% dividend distribution. however if you SELL those STE tokens or just even move them a different wallet, then those STE tokens will just be entitled to 80% of the dividend distrbution. the stex team are doing this to create a strong incentive to HODL. but if anyone do sell their STE tokens, then that's just great for the hodlers considerating that this means that more of that 20% dividends reserved only STE tokens purchased and held since ICO, will go to them.

STE tokens that have been purchased in ICO and hodled = 100% dividend distribution
STE tokens that have been moved to a different wallet or sold = 80% dividend distribution

so technically, if you just create a brand new eth wallet to purchase STE tokens in the ICO, then you can just sell that eth wallet as a whole and then have the new owner contact the stex exchange staff and tell them they want their STE tokens moved elsewhere for whatever reason, which should probably make it possible for them to keep that extra 20% and thus keep the full 100% dividend distribution monthly payout.
