Forgive my ignorance but how is this different/better than shapeshift or metaexchange?
Hey,
Am incredibly glad you asked.
In the case of shapeshift, you have dynamic addresses, which means you are required to send the $'s to a different wallet each time (and then the exchange is done) and sent back. This is a hassle if you use the system often and are required to paste wallet id's often.
In comparison, our system uses a single address( electrons-io) and exchanges the currency at the best possible rates from multiple sources and sends you btc.
This means, you can actually exchange without ever going to electrons.io. All you truly need to do is just go to your wallet, select amount of bts to be exchanged, send to electrons-io with your bitcoin address as the memo and the system sends it. Basically you can entirely circumvent ever visitng an exchange or electrons.io and get your coins exchanged to Bitcoin right from interacting from your wallet.
Also, this needs to be verified and proved, but from our internal tests so far, we have been able to repeatedly provide the best rates.
P.s - I have massive respect for shapeshift and metaexchange. We are only building on what they laid foundations for and believe we can do better.
