MasterCoin Buyer/Seller Thread

[ElDido]

I don't argue the importance of being listed on exchanges, by the contrary. I guess you need to ask yourself why a joke coin like Doge managed to get listed on so many exchanges while Mastercoin didn't have much success in doing so. Perhaps it's an issue that needs a quick fix.

As the maker of an exchange that accepts Mastercoin, I'd say Dogecoin is accepted on so many exchanges because, as a clone of bitcoin, it requires almost no workload to add to an exchange that already trades several Bitcoin clones. Mastercoin on the other hand, requires specific development for deposits and withdrawals, and there is no official client yet. No amount of marketing will change that at this point.

Good!  I don't want MSC being lumped in together with scam coins Dogecoin and NXT.  Only the heavy speculators are involved with that crap.  Those things are going to blow up spectacularly.  There is nothing behind those scam coins.  People who throw money at that garbage will get what they deserve.  We don't want that speculation money running the MSC prices up and down all over the place.  "pump and dump" projects are great for those people.  A different sort of people are involved with MSC.  People in MSC have a completely different goal than those with Dogecoin and NXT.  MSC people are trying to build something.  Putting lipstick on a pig only tricks those who can't see past the shiny red lips.

We did another update on masterXchange.

- Improved history of trades
- Option to receive emails on trade (under "account settings")

And lots of minor changes.

i know i will get some negative comments on this feature request... i'm okay with that.  so here goes:

can the exchange show on the first page the price graph, the bids and asks, and also a troll box?

I know, I know but I have such fond memories of the trollbox on btce and i think it really helped people learn about crypto and develop a sense of community.  i got a lot of advice (good) on there how to build my litecoin miners, how to create p2pool server, etc

maybe let people who have enough trading volume post emoticons?



okay maybe not that far...

Fully noted and everything is on the todo list

Rest assured we really want to have a trollbox on the front page xD

JR, did you sell your coins to Keiser?

http://rt.com/shows/keiser-report/episode-551-max-keiser-769/

Market prices are up 50% in three days.  Buying opportunity (at insanely low prices) is now closed.  Back to regular price soon (.25)  After the DEx is proved working, will hit .50 in two weeks. 

Is Terpin preparing a news flurry on this?  Maybe his friend can post a blog for another $18K?

well someone guess right..

MSC in the news again

I second that. The landing page is just... useless (and horrible).

i'm so excited by this.

So I came up with this the other day after thinking about burning money and chinese new year.  

I haven't really got a lot of comments on it, but if you all think it is kind of cheesy or dumb I would at least like to know that.  And I'm not Chinese I just was given one of these red envelopes and a moon cake once.  So I thought why not bring this into the digital money era? But who knows if it would fly.

the user flow mock up is here:

and most of the code to do this is here:

maybe there is some FB api stuff missing on getting list of friends and Dexx needs some help on FB authentication to detect scammers with new/fake accounts

Learned a new term, didn't know what a troll box was and had to search for it. Now I know it's the chat window I really liked on Coingrounds, the short-lived PTS exchange. I loved it. It was a lot of fun and very informative watching the real time commentary on the trading by different types of stakeholders, along with my occasional question getting quick answers.

AFAIK it really got popularity from btc-e - speaking of masses control done via manipulators there...

it's people yelling buy or sell like they would on the floor of a normal exchange, i actually found it really helpful to trading to see the sentiment.

worked for JR, should work for you !

I've been speaking to a friend about the different technologies being built around bitcoin and he has decided to put an investment into Mastercoin as part of his crypto portfolio. I am facilitating this purchase as he is not familiar with the technical aspects of transferring MSC, etc.

Looking to purchase 1000 msc at market price (0.14btc per msc). That's 140btc so escrow will be required. We could also arrange making the trade on masterxchange.com. I will accept trades of smaller amounts or if an individual is looking to take some profits and sell the whole amount that would be great.

Please PM me to discuss.

I dont think you will be able to buy 1000MSC for 0.14BTC.
If you check the existing sell orders at masterxchange you are at 0.22BTC/MSC if you buy until 1000 MSC.

There is much more potential MSC on the exchange. If you buy small quantities by small quantities, I am certain pontential sellers will refill the orderbook.

Anyone can see publicly that there is 13000 MSC on our address

[td services]

I expect there will be depressed prices while people want to diversify from MSC to Ethereum. The NXT bubble from being newly listed on a major exchange also still has to play out (currently in a head and shoulders pattern). MSC seems to be cycling between .1 and .25 BTC/MSC in a very thin market, but could also be in a head and shoulders. 13,000 MSC is still only about 2% of the total MSC issue.

edit: Wow, that was fast, I was answering Patel's post, now it's gone

[maxmint]

I have 500 MSC @0.12 BTC on prefunded escrow, selling these in batches of 100 MSC.
If interested please PM me.
