IIRC, CIYAM forum was designed to be blockchain-based, but don't know details: http://ciyam.org/open/

The video says you can trade assets and stay anonymous, but how is that possible? I thought that stealth accounts could not place trades.

Is there another kind of anonymity in OpenLedger? Even the usernames associated with individual trade orders are public. See http://cryptofresh.com/a/USD

I suspect Ronny means that accounts aren't tied to people (no identity information to create an account and begin trading). So, while it's certainly possible to see that "youdontknow-me" is trading, you don't know who he is.

Hi Jakub,

To add to your list, BlockTrades also does software development work on a contract basis. We have expertise in blockchain technology, networking, and web programming.

This bundle includes exes for the cli-wallet, witness_node, and delayed_node executables (no windows GUI exe included):

I think it might be simpler if the "Create Private Account" dialog only required a user to enter a label for the account and generated the public/private key pair for the account "behind the scenes". I assume the current design is to allow for importing private accounts generated from a different wallet, but it seems like it would be better to have a separate functionality for exporting/importing such accounts.

The NuBits wallet was down on BlockTrades, but it's back up now.

would it be possible to show people how many accounts, how many times, and which amount in BTS is transered via a service? i am thinking that we have to show new users some kind of credibility for all the bridges and gateways, that they can judge which sercices they want to use.

I think services should be responsible for generating customer trust. This doesn't seem like a function for the wallet. And the selection of any given automated metric is likely to be a subject of dispute.

Anyways, this is only be a debate about how the "generic" wallet is represented by default, in any case. I guess it's obvious that any given hoster of the wallet can tailor the appearance and operation to their own desires.

This is a major improvement. Great work! I had not noticed it before seeing your post here, but I will try one of these gateways right now.

Suggestions:

(1) I would put a quick explanation on top of that screen, something like:

"Please select one of the following Bridge or Gateway services. These will allow you to deposit currency directly into your wallet or withdraw from your wallet to an external address."

(2) I definitely did not notice any drop-down menus in the BlockTrades bridge area until you mentioned it. Then, clicking on LTC, I saw that it opened up some others. This does not look AT ALL like a drop down menu, nor is it obvious enough. The fonts are way too small and are not prominent in the interface. It needs a bigger and clearer button. Also, I would include a direction/instruction there, such as "Please select a currency from the drop-down menu".

(3) It is nice to have a buffet of different services, all of which are competing for our business. But a lot of users will not know or care what a bridge or gateway is. If they are comfortable navigating this, it sure is much easier than before. But scrolling down that page, it still begins to look pretty scary for someone with no clue. To make this even more user-friendly, I would also include a function at the very top that is an expansion of the Blocktrades interface.

Why not have one single section at the top with a drop down menu that includes every FROM-->TO currency that any of these services offers?  For example, the drop down menu would have all choices and look something like this:

BTC-->OPENBTC via OpenLedger/CCEDK
BTC--->TRADE.BTC via BlockTrades
DOGE-->BTS via BlockTrades
ETH--->METAX.ETH via Metatrades
MUSE-->OPENMUSE via OpenLedger/CCEDK


And then when a user selects one of these pathways, the appropriate deposit address or other info would appear on the right side of the screen, as it does now within each section.

That way, no one would have to go digging for it. Once the day arrives when there are too many to list in a drop-down menu, then there could be several drop-downs in the same section, organizing the possibilities by category. The categories could be divided up by which service or by which type of currency (e.g., someone selects "BTC" from the drop-down and up come all the things you can change into from BTC). But for now, one drop-down (or two drop-downs, one for the "FROM" and one for the "TO") might do it.

This is a very exciting improvement -- thank you!

Thanks for the feedback, your suggestions should probably be added as ideas for the overhaul of the entire page. I think it's generally agreed that that needs to happen :-)To me, the current page mostly serves as a bunch of proposed interfaces (created by different people), and the eventual page should probably consolidate on one method. At that point, hopefully some text will be added to describe the functionality/usage of the final methodology (maybe having none now will lead us to the most intuitive one :-) ).

And, yes, the dark highlighting is pretty horrible on the dropdowns and editboxes, but I think we're probably stuck with it until the next release of the webwallet on Wednesday (unless some high priority issue causes an earlier release). The problem for us was that it wasn't possible to see that this was a problem until it got uploaded to openledger, since it uses a different styling than the webwallet in github.
