BitUSD atomic cross chain trading

[bernard]

Already supported at protocol level

Not sure what that means.. I guess technically Bitcoin supports this at a protocol level as long as someone changes the client to create and accept these two new tx types (PayOnSecretReveal & SecretReveal).

So i'm assuming it also needs to be implemented in Bitshares? How much work would it be? Is anyone interested in implementing it?  I think it would increase demand for BitUSD if people can swap it for their own prefered coin.

What can I do to help make this happen? A couple of new API calls would be a good start perhaps?

How easy would it be to implement this in BitShares? TLDR; Payments are locked for nBlocks and refunded unless a secret from receiver is revealed.

I would love to be able to trade BitUSD for Bitcoin or other alts directly and not have to deal with going though BTS everytime.
