Stan I think your answer is answers more the question "What would your exchange offer if they joined OpenLedger" and not "How can your exchange profit" from this.

Also, regarding the question of them having to use hot and cold wallets and still be vulnerable, what's your take on that?

How would you answer when he tells me "I don't want to send my users elsewhere". He still retains "ownership" of his clients, they're just operating directly on the blockchain now so..

My struggle is being able to explain this in the more simple way possible. I told him someone more knowledgeable would contact him. @Stan do you have the time to do it? Sorry to depend on you, it's just that I dont want to mess it up again. If he asks me another question that I'm not able to answer I dont want to tell him "ok let me get to someone who knows best and ill get back to you" that doesnt sound good or professional at all... That's my problem atm. Btw, overall, what do you think about our conversation?

BitMEX could be an interesting one to approach, it seems they're very interested in leverage trading and are doing guides and blog posts about it. Bond Markets could be a good news for them

This is interesting. If 2016 is going to be a bad yet for the markets, what could this mean? Gold up? It could make the chinese to hedge against this by buying bitcoin? This associated with the halving could give crypto a new boost. If bitcoin really goes that up, then it could be good for alts too.

Most volume there was DOGE, it should be a good bet for OpenLedger to try and get the most customers possible from Cryptsy

@ccedk you should ask @Hypercube to change the image appearing on the video thumbnail. It's bad. It's red and a signal of warning, it isn't attractive when you want to show it. The thumbnail should be the OpenLedger logo with the purple/blue background.


Also, is it possible to have the Daily Decrypt suggest user's to go to OpenLedger in the recent scam and failure of Cryptsy? It would be a major advertisement! Same for Bitcoin Rush! Amanda even has a lifetime membership and can profit from that, offered by our community.

Let me just say they're still waiting to be contacted. If someone knowledgeable enough would step forward would be nice.

Thanks abit.

I posted an update on the Polo thread. It seems it might be too early to get exchanges on board, though if someone wants to try it, I suggest start by the smaller ones as they have the most to gain.

As for providing liquidity I really can't help with that. We already have bitUSd and bitCNY markets on Poloniex and they're dead. We need some market making there.

Polo now has bitUSD market

And also bitCNY

They're just not liquid. It would be nice if someone could move operations there.

thanks @xeroc and @BunkerChain Labs

You're right. I could have researched first. It was just that I sent a few emails just for the sake of it and really wasn't even expecting them to reply back. It was an innocent task. I tried to mention how they could benefit from us but I guess I didn't express myself better.

I think a better approach would be to start by asking what problems do they have when managing operations and how that could be prevented with BitShares. I wanted to but failed to show that concern you mention. I'm just not really used to doing this but I believe it was a good experience. I can always have someone else talking with him, someone with more knowledge.

Any volunteers there?

@cass
Just letting you know I approve your worker.

Stuff missing are those easy steps. In case they're interested they need to know how difficult it is to migrate. What consequences that might have for them. How much time it takes and drawbacks. They need to know that so it doesn't affect their business.

One other detail is, atm we only focus on the users. How they benefit. But we should also focus on businesses because they're the ones who bring great amounts of users. They need to know why they benefit, what's in for them. What to they gain with this. Atm I can only come up with two things: database hosted on the blockchain so less expenses and more safety, saving them money and work. But there should be more. We won't be able to see them BitShares just with this. Referral program... yes, but they already make money with each trade their users do so there's not really a difference. We need to focus on businesses. This case, exchanges. There must be other advantages other than those, otherwise they won't come in.

So, could someone answer the following question in detail for me please: How do exchanges benefit from BitShares? How do they make more money or have more exposure? Let's not confuse with the benefits users have. Exchanges might not care about transparency, etc
