Are there fees for the decentralized exchange? If so, who collects?
What is the benefit to running a node?

[truxton]

yes there are fees. amount to be decided.  fees paid to holders of the blocknet.  the current idea is that anyone with over 10,000 will get fees to start but this is not set in stone yet. as more users start using the DX this will come down. ask synechist for more info.  right now the UI is the next step.

coinbase and now bitfinex hacked.

Blocknet will be huge.

unless blocknet can accept and pay USD to and from my bank without a intermediary holding it, then its not the distributed exchange I am looking for...I know thats a big ask...but there it is the only way to put the exchange risk out of business

Yes, there is a trade fee.

The amount is yet to be decided.

Running an exchange node nets you the fee.

Coming up: distribution of a portion of the fee to staking wallets across the network.


For the record, exchange nodes don't hold coins - this is a trustless design.
It's also the only exchange that has decentralised all the core components of exchange
- coin deposits
- order book
- order matching system
- coin exchange protocol

For the time being, I suggest using fiat gateways to get across the fiat:crypto divide.

They're regional and centralised by nature, so aren't a natural component of a protocol-based, borderless decentralised exchange.

We've been putting a bit of time into the notion of a coin pegged to USD. This way, traders could park their coins somewhere stable instead of sleeping in BTC. However, it's not clear how to keep this both decentralised and non-gameable.

For now, you can trade trustlessly across any currency pair that uses either the Bitcoin Core API or the Ethereum codebase.

Stay safe.

Hello,

Just read an article about blocknet and liked what I read.

Question...

How many total tokens will there be?

Is this 100% pos?

And i checked polo and the volume is low. Any reason for that? I just think it would be higher based on what I have read.

...your explorer link on coinmarketcap.com is not working.

Thanks for your respons.

Maybe use "Tether" for that? It is an Omni asset already pegged to the USD.

The coin is 100% POS.

Coin supply is 3,877,226.06 BLOCK + ~3% annual interest (starting from Oct 2014).
Initially 10,000,000 coins were created. 3,877,226.06 were sold during the ITO and the remaining coins were burned.

The volume has been low because we've been developing and haven't been ready to publicise our results.

Apologies for the broken link to coinmarketcap. The entire OP needs to be updated. :-)

Yes, that came up in conversation - and I'm an old follower of Omni / Mastercoin.

I need to check out their implementation, especially its degree of centralisation (if any).

If it's trustless in the required respects, then I see no problem in using it. Way better than reinventing the wheel. :-)

Just keeping this current:

Hi folks

Good news: we have a user guide for the decentralised exchange!

It was created by the community.
Special thanks to @aderks for leading the initiative.
It'll be progressively updated as we go.

I think time is running out for Block to be purchased under 100k sats.
