Title: [MetaExchange] dev-metaexchange.monsterer development diary
Post by: monsterer on December 15, 2014, 08:37:26 pm
Hi all,

Shentist and I thought it would be good to set up a development diary for the progress we are making on Metaexchange, which is being funded by our 100% pay delegate, dev-metaexchange.monsterer.

https://github.com/wildbunny/metaexchange

The first task on this project is to produce a daemon to enable anyone to set up a bitcoin on-ramp into bitshares.

The idea is for the daemon to convert bitcoin deposits into bitAssets directly, so users can send bitcoin to a special address which is monitored by the daemon and have the daemon issue the corresponding quantity of bitAssets and send them directly to the depositor, thereby enabling an easy route into (and out of, using the reverse technique) bitshares.

Progress so far has been good, I have the first part of the code for scanning the bitshares blockchain in place, for picking out the public key of the depositor, and converting that into a bitcoin address. I also have unit tests for going to and from bitcoin and bitshares public keys and addresses.

The next step is to work on the bitcoin blockchain scanning portion of the code, which will be easier than the bitshares side, since all the RPC data structures already exist and so I expect that to go smoothly.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!

Cheers, Paul.

Hello again!

Just completed the first test of the gateway, going from BTS->bitcoin and bitcoin->BTS!

I've designed the system to be very flexable, so it can support these use cases:

*) IOU->bitcoin / bitcoin->IOU
*) bitBTC->bitcoin / bitcoin->bitBTC
*) bitUSD->bitcoin / bitcoin->bitUSD (as long as there is an exchange rate available and a spread)

This means that not only will this gateway support going from bitcoin to bitBTC, but also going from bitcoin straight to bitUSD or vise verse.

Of course this requires the operator to hold both bitcoin and the relevant bitAsset, but in some ways this is preferable than having the operator issue IOUs, because IOUs inherently have no value, so in the case of catastrophic failure and loss of funds an operator issuing IOUs would lose customer's bitcoins, but in the case where the operator holds and issues bitAssets, such a failure would only result in the operator losing his profits / funds, but importantly not the customers funds, since bitAssets do have an intrinsic value outside this system.

This gateway will also support alternative methods in going from bitcoin to bitAssets. Currently, the design requires you to import your private keys from your bitcoin wallet into your bitshares wallet so that transactions sent from bitcoin can be read by bitshares. This is quite a high friction operation so I am adding some very simple features to allow operators to easily work around the problem.

Stay tuned for more!

So by not useing IOU's the risk falls on the gateway operator and not the customer?

Are you sure this is wise? A gateway operator will surely have a greater sum of money at stake then a single customer. Also this will require a greater amount of start up capital for a gateway operator because they have to keep some of everything on the shelf.

Ok, made some good progress this week:

Set up another machine in order to test this process more correctly.
Tested sending BTC to the daemon address and correctly got BTS back out again.
Still working on the opposite way around, having some slight issues when the sender is not a registers bitshares account.

All in all, this is close to being the first releasable version! Once this outstanding bug is fixed and I can get some more testing done it will be ready to go!

Have a great weekend!

Why are you writing this in C# instead of something cross platform like Python?

Excellent question! Some definitions are in order, though.

Cross platform: runs on multiple different OS and hardware. Python/Java/C# do not run natively on any platform without the runtimes being installed (except maybe some linux distros with python pre-installed, or windows for c#).

According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_operating_systems windows has the most install base at over 50%, so c# is the ideal choice because the majority of users will not need to install the runtime in order to run the daemon.

In addition c# provides a type safe programming language which aids in the development of something of this scope. Further, i can actually provide compiled binaries for this project so that end users do not need to spend days trying to get the project built and running correctly, they can simply run the .exe I provide.

Also, for linux server deployments I've been using Mono for years sucessfully and with the new .NET core that microsoft are releasing it will only get easier to use c# in different environments.

Hope that helps to understand my choice!

Cheers, Paul.

What kind of performance penalty is incurred using mono? Isn't it yet another layer of API translation code to map C# calls to the (Windows) OS into equivalent OSX / Linux calls? Or has mono evolved to use visualization technology to run windows exe binaries and dll shared code?

But thanks for the explanation, sounds like a valid point. I've never liked .NET. IMO it just doesn't feel as efficient as the closest equivalent which is Java. Java always seemed more responsive; I suspect it has a more efficient garbage collector and dispatch algo. .NET apps seem to que things up at times and there are lags in the UX.

If M$ actually does release the C# runtime into open source and not hold back critical portions or try to maintain control over it, your decision may well come to be seen as wise. Otherwise it could backfire.

Mono is a complete re-engineering of the .NET run-time, so theoretically it is as efficient on linux/mac as .NET on windows is. Mono runs c# executables directly, they don't need re-compiling.

I don't see how it can backfire, the majority of computer users run windows anyway. I don't know if you've tried to compile something like bitcoin/bitshares on linux from cold before, I have and it took me days to get each working correctly with the correct dependencies installed. .NET just makes all that go away.

It doesnt go away just that visual studios makes it easier.. you can still get into dll hell or break builds if your references arent setup properly... It usually assumes precompiled linked libs are dependencies in references whereas in the opensource world noone trusts compoled binaries so you build and inspect from scratch..

In a build environment makes way more sense to trust binaries that are signed

The way it might backfire is M$ releases all but a few crucial portions of the .NET runtime into open source as a ploy to gain more widespread adoption. The licensing for that small but crucial part isn't so restrictive to prohibit adoption by all but the most ardent of open source fanatics. Then they change the licensing conditions and it becomes a big legal mess. Realistic? Perhaps not, but M$ has been known for decades as the king of proprietary, non-standards compliant, NIH business practices, and I am leery of them. Whether such a backfire scenario is likely I don't know, it really depends on how generous M$ is about turning .NET into an open source platform.

Javascript is one of my most favored of scripting languages. If I'm not mistaken it was originally created by Netscape, which in order to compete in the early browser wars M$ had to implement. However M$ initially opposed it becoming a standard, but adoption was so widespread that ECMAscript, which was essentially Javascript, became the standard which M$ was forced kicking and screaming to implement. I'm not sure about these days as much but in the past M$ has resisted supporting standards for web browser technologies and has been a thorn in the side of web devs since day 1.

I have attempted to compile the BitShares client on linux Mint 17 without success, but I only devoted 1 late evening back in October to the effort so I am certain when I attempt it again I will be able to identify and resolve the issue fairly quickly.

You are right however regarding the issues one must face when compiling from source. I've had very similar issues on Windows as well, tho I have no dev experience with .NET at all. It turned me off so much in it's early days and Java was much more mature, worked better and was cross platform so why bother with proprietary .NET?

That was then. It would be interesting to see an in depth comparison of today's Java & .NET platforms to see which is better or what the relative merits of each are.

Hi guys,

v1 is ready to go - I just finished writing the instructions for how to use the metaexchange BTC/bitBTC gateway but I've realised that since its GMT 22:18 and I'm about to go to bed, now is not the ideal time to launch this for testing as I wont be able to field inevitable support requests!

So, if you can wait until tomorrow morning, I will set the gateway up for business first thing so that I can be on hand to solve problems.

The code is fully checked in to github if you want to take a look.

Thanks for your patience!

Ok, the metaexchange BTC->bitBTC gateway is live!

Here is how to use this

* Import your bitcoin private keys into the bitshares wallet account that you want to use. The private keys must be compressed* (i.e. not starting with a 5, they look like this L4rK1yDtCWekvXuE6oXD9jCYfFNV2cWRpVuPLBcCU2z8TrisoyY1).

* use wallet_account_update_active_key to set one of your imported keys as the active key

* send bitcoins to our gateway address: 1KduukGNb5SH8L6oDwQf8sDrKk68fjvnvF

* send bitBTC to our gateway account: metaexchangebtc

Any bitcoins you send will be turned into bitBTC by the gateway (after 1 confirmation) and sent to your bitshares account. Any bitBTC that you send to the gateway will be turned into bitcoins and sent to your bitcoin wallet.

We have funded the gateway with 0.5 BTC/0.5 bitBTC for testing purposes, there is a 0.01 BTC transaction size limit at the moment. Please use small amounts to test this with - this is beta software and may contain bugs, you could lose funds.

For this test there are no transaction fees.

We are well aware that this private key importing process isn't usable for the non-techy, so the next step is to create a simple website to make this procress 100% frictionless, which is what I'll be working on next.

Cheers, Paul.

*) The reason private keys must be compressed is that the bitshares client always converts any private key (compressed or uncompressed) into a compressed public key and since there are two different bitcoin addresses associated with each private key (one from the compressed key, one from the uncompressed version) funds may not arrive in your bitcoin wallet if you import the incorrect type, since the bitshares account public key is turned into a bitcoin address by the daemon.

In case of error, you can import the other version of the private key into your bitcoin wallet to get the funds, but this requires a rescan, which takes a while.

Ok, weekly update time again!

Last week was mostly vetting the live test of the gateway, which seemed to go well, although we didn't really have enough users to fully test correctly. I'm hoping that once the website goes live we will get a lot more because it'll be so, so much easier to use.

With that in mind, I've started to bring the old metaexchange prototype website framework into this project with some retargeting to serve as the website for our gateway. This has been bought into github as well. I'm hoping to have something live to test with soon!

Nice work you've done here. I was curious how difficult it would be to make an asset<->asset gateway.  The reason is this would let lesser DPOS chains do price discovery and use the BTS DEX as a market without having to try to find a reasonable crypto-exchange.

So all your use-cases understandably have BTC on one side of the equation.  I would basically like to remove that and put an asset on both sides. Do you forsee difficulty in doing this?  Is there any documentation on getting your work fired up and running so I could modify a working version of it? I plan on setting up some tests with devshares <-> BTS. I'd rather just get this working before I release my chain so it can be liquid and tradeable instantly.  Whether we go with version .6 or .5 or later..

This would be better served using the atomic cross-chain transactions functionality which the blockchain provides.

you can find more information about how that works here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10132.0;all

but keep in mind that currently xchain trading is disabled in BTS .. not tested enough yet

this did not happend due to uncompressed/compressed key fuckup .. did it?

@iHashFury, download the brainwallet.org webpage (link is on the page in the lower right corner)
disconnect from inet, open up the brainwallet.org page from localhost
click "private key" and paste your private key, press the "uncompressed" or "compressed" button, whichever is inactive,
the private key changes. take that new private key and import it into the bitcoinwallet of your choice

Thank you for the refund.
Here is the process I used which worked on these two occasions https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=12317.msg176958#msg176958

Code: [Select]
##Dump Keys##
#Bitcoin Wallet Console:
dumpprivkey "bitcoinaddress"
K000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000BTC

#Bitshares Wallet Console:
dump_private_key <input>
"500000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000BTS"


##Import Keys##
#Import your bitcoin private keys into the bitshares Wallet(not starting with a 5)
#importprivkey <wif_key> [account_name] [create_new_account] [rescan]
importprivkey K000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000BTC [account_name] 0 0
wallet_account_update_active_key <account_to_update> <pay_from_account> K000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000BTC

importprivkey "K00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000BTS"

Using the same bitcoin wallet for my third transaction on 29/01/2015 19:39, I did not receive the BitBTC.

Code: [Select]

Still not sure what went wrong with the third BTC to BitBTC transaction.

I have now imported both compressed and uncompressed private keys again into my wallets for good measure and will try again.

Also when I use wallet_account_update_active_key the bitshares console says key_already_registered: key belongs to other account?

Have you guys considered issuing a UIA to raise some funds for liquidity? Distributing some of your fees to shareholders would do the trick!

Maybe it's not too easy due to regulations, but have you already though about it?

Hi everyone,

Very busy week! Launched metaexchange.info! Started with trading pair bitBTC/BTC, so far we have processed 3.5 BTC worth of transactions and we are just getting started.

I made a start on abstracting the bitBTC/BTC processing into a system which will support multiple different trading pairs and markets with the appropriate API calls to enable any vendor to use metaexchange to fulfil their BTC->bitAsset conversion needs.

This coming week I will be finishing off the API and working on something which will be incredibly useful for all traders on the bitshares dex.

Stay tuned!

Cheers, Paul.

Oh yeah! Not just consider, it is essential. You are dealing with money, so man-in-the-middle attacks would be very profitable. The MITM would just swap out the BTC addresses and BTS account names as appropriate to steal the BTC and BitAssets.

Update time again!

Very close to adding a bitUSD market now - all the technology is in place, just need to get it set up. The architecture of metaexchange has evolved as well; it was always designed to run a daemon (which processes the actual orders) as well as the site itself with the daemon on a totally different piece of hardware from the site, but now there can be multiple daemons, in different locations around the world!

What this means is that we can start to build business relationships with 'liquidity providers', who will host one (or more) metaexchange markets. The API will route orders to whichever liquidity provider is running the market in which the trade is placed. This means zero counterparty risk for the liquidity providers and the same low to none risk for our customers!

Cheers, Paul.

How long does this service take?  I sold 1.12 bitBTC 20 mins ago and it still says "processing".  I noticed the memo cuts off the last 2 letters of the recieving bitcoin address, is that normal?  (I'm guessing I should I have edited the auto-filled memo to contain the full address...)

Also in Safari it doesn't work, the site gives a "missing parameter" error, I had to use firefox.

hi matt,

it will send your bitBTC back, if the memofield is not correct, but maybe your client is not showing correct, because you should already recieved the bitBTC back. I had a similar problem and just needed to "reprodcast". Was shown under the in processing information. Seems a client problem, but i am not a coder. Paul will looking into it, if something was going wrong.

Thanks for the information with safari.

p.s.
i just checked the balances and it seems, like we have more bitBTC. So Paul will looking into it, seems you found a bug :D Thanks for trying metaexchange and helping us to increase the reliability.

Then I made a 3rd transfer and on bitcoin blockchain the transaction is unconfirmed for about 5 hours now I think.. If this has something to do with metaexchange then maybe you can have a look at it. If it has to do with bitcoin and the whole miners confirmation then bitcoin sucks...5 hours..lol..That must be the longest ever for a single confirmation..

Hi Matt,

Sorry you had trouble - and thanks for reporting the bug, you've found a couple there! I have manually credited your transaction for you.

The primary bug was with my account name validation - I had forgotten to include numbers in the whitelist of valid characters! I can't fix the bug until tomorrow, so hold off on sending any further transactions until I confirm the fix :)

I'll take a look at the problem you found in safari as well tomorrow.

Then I made a 3rd transfer and on bitcoin blockchain the transaction is unconfirmed for about 5 hours now I think.. If this has something to do with metaexchange then maybe you can have a look at it. If it has to do with bitcoin and the whole miners confirmation then bitcoin sucks...5 hours..lol..That must be the longest ever for a single confirmation..

Do you have the txid? I'll take a look for you :)

Actually minutes after my post the transaction got through...spooky.. ::)
So everything is fine now. Thanks

Also in Safari it doesn't work, the site gives a "missing parameter" error, I had to use firefox.

Ok, the bug which stopped you from receiving your bitcoins is fixed, but I'm unable to repro the screenshot in safari - are you using anything which might be blocking hidden web form fields from being posted?

Not that I'm aware of.  Weirdly it works fine on my 7 year old mac laptop with an older version of Safari but not on my much newer desktop with Safari 7.1.3.  It doesn't show the "maximum per transaction number" and at the moment doesn't do anything if I click "submit".

Thanks for the manual crediting, BTC received.

Update time again!

So, busy doesn't even begin to describe the last week! So many conference calls with potential business partners, new ideas, new relationships... All very exciting stuff.

Service and site wise, the new markets are up and running! Rune and Riverhead are running their own metaexchange node providing liquidity for the BTC/bitUSD market, which went rather smoothly, actually.

I've added a price discovery module which attempts to set the market prices based on order flow. It's only enabled for BTS market at the moment - lets see how it goes.

edit: I've also added a QR code for the bitcoin address to make mobile use easier.

Next I'm going to add support which ElMato requires for limewallet integration, which will be huge :)

Unconfirmed transaction problem

Hi MetaExchange,
I used your site yesterday to try to convert some BTS to BTC, but the transaction doesn't seem to be confirming (I guess because zero fees?) :-/
https://blockchain.info/tx/1ab5af1d83e686fb7f1604bedc8f69a1907fa97434d8161c9e64ec17872ef4b8

Hi there,

Oh wow, sorry about that - I've configured bitcoind with a minimum transaction fee, but it doesn't appear to be getting used...

At the moment I'm not sure I can do anything because I cannot re-send the transaction with higher fees. I guess the only thing to suggest is to wait a bit longer for it to confirm. If it eventually doesn't get picked up, contact me and I will manually resend it.

I've sent you 0.01 BTC from my own account as a sorry :)

Cheers, Paul.

Update:

If you are using a multi-sig bitcoin wallet, could you hold off on buying from metaexchange at the moment - we have a bug which fails to refund a transaction (should a refund be needed - over max size for instance) because it is unable to compute the sender's address. I'm working on a fix :)

Yes - do you know a gateway where that's possible?

BTS->BTC->EUR is possible. The shapeshift.io API allows requesting an email receipt (for BTS->BTC), and several BTC->EUR gateways exist.

yes but IMO you won't be able to achieve this,  unless you're using an exchange or company with money transmitter licenses, if you want to get
directly from BTS to EUR et vice versa... Is this how you want to deal with? Like bitcoin.de for bitshares?

Don't look to the first rate if you sell bts worth 1 btc you pay in metaexchange 27530 and in poloniex 27660 so we are also better . but to be clear . you don't need to set up a account with us . we are Holding your funds a couple oft seconds and our sole purpose is to get other Crypto easier into bitshares or assets on the bitshares blockchain .

So for me the answer is clear which service you want to use .

I tested a small exchange of 100 BTS into BTC using API calls and it went through smoothly. Good work!

Only I can't get the getMyLastTransactions to return anything, no matter if I provide the deposit address or the memo. It always comes back with an empty list.

And for the wishlist: it would be nice if getOrderStatus could be used with a short transaction id prefix, as displayed by wallet_account_transaction_history.

New market was added in partnership with spartako: https://metaexchange.info/markets/BTC/bitCNY

I've also made the buy feedback much better now so that you get a 'pending' transaction appear in 'Your transactions' at 0 confirmations which will eventually update to the final price at 1 confirmation. Code wise, I've migrated away from having an enum of currency types because that makes adding new currencies a rebuild and redeploy of the code - this is now database controlled so adding new asset types is a synch.

Next week I will be adding support for UIA issue instead to be used in place of transfer asset to support crowdfunding.

NOTE: please do not make direct deposits from exchanges to metaexchange deposit addresses. At the moment we tie one deposit transaction to one output transaction which means there is a chance your deposit would be bundled together with another deposit in the same transaction. One would be processed and the other would get stuck and need to be manually processed.

We would like to fix this for the future, but for now please avoid it. Send from your wallets only, sorry for the inconvenience :)

The web wallet uses v 0.8.0. I'm not at my main computer at the moment but I think I run the latest there.

That's a merchant tool I think @rgcrypto is asking for a browser plugin that adds the BTS payment option to any BTC payment option on the client side ..

But yhea ... a merchant tool like the above would be a good start too!

They have 2 tools.  The shifty button is a merchant tool ... ShapeShift Lens is a browser pluggin for both firefox and chrome, that does exactly what rg is asking.  On the page I linked, you'll have to click the Lens button to get the relevant video and info for that tool.

Update time!

Back from a week's holiday - most of this week has been spent preparing the code base to support issuing UIAs as well as plain asset transfers. I also looked at getting pay to public key working, so unregistered users can still use metaexchange. Both features were required by the moonstone fundraiser which has been my main priority.

Cheers, Paul.

Ok, following some thought on the subject of flipped markets, I have hidden the BTC/bitUSD and BTC/bitCNY markets from the main metaexchange site's list and added bitUSD/BTC and bitCNY/BTC to replace them.

The old markets are still accessable and functional, but are not promoted - the idea is to smoothly transition across to the new markets, which will help developers integrating with our API and also 'fixes' a couple of bugs which were logged against the old flipped versions of these markets.

Update time!

Major features this time around are:

* CORS for API usage - this will let developers embed metaexchange widgets directly on their own web-pages and allow any HTML/JS based wallet to call out to our servers directly (think wallet integration)
* Added bitsharesblocks.com/blockchain.info transaction links in 'Your transactions' in each market; this should help people with support requests and just makes things that much easier to work with for customers
* Flipped markets are now deprecated and have been replaced with non flipped versions - the old ones will continue to function for a while, until I see that the volume traded on them is consistently 0

Next stuff in the pipe... I'm looking into the feasibility of adding limit orders(!) This would allow users to profit from large orders that we cannot fill ourselves, would increase liquidity and expand our order fulfilment capacity.

Update time again!

Full steam ahead on the limit order engine! This will allow users to place resting orders on our order books using the same anonymous order placement system we are using currently. This will allow metaexchange to become the first anonymous, fully featured exchange.

As well as standard limit orders, I am also adding support for market orders with slippage parameter.

I'm very excited about the limit order engine, it will allow us to greatly increase our liquidity while also allowing our users to take advantage of speculating on markets which don't exist on any other exchange.

Cheers, Paul.

Hi there,

Sorry you are having trouble - what happened was: the deposit was over the deposit limit, which triggered an automatic refund, but the system detected a multi-sig deposit address (probably sent from an exchange, or non-standard wallet), so was unable to complete the refund.

If you give me your refund address, I can manually return your deposit :)

We are adding support for user defined refund addresses in the near future to prevent this from happening.

Cheers, Paul.

Post by: Xeldal on May 21, 2015, 08:19:47 pm
Something seems off.

Your site listed BTS:BTC rate as 1 BTC => 54,600 BTS which is 1 / 54,600 = .00001831
(it was much lower than this(2 mins ago) when I actually placed the order but that is another story)
when you add the fee to this you get an effective rate of .00001831 * 1.003 = .00001837

The above was the listed price when my purchase was confirmed and remained that for some time after. 
However, the rate I actually got was listed  as .00001837 and you charged me another fee on top of that!
So effectively the rate was .00001837 * 1.003 = .00001842

You're either listing your price incorrectly or your charging your fee twice.

It happens everytime.

I've got some pics this time.
I didn't get them all in one pic but you can look up the block timestamp 2015-05-21 20:36:12
1 / 54,391 = .00001838  * 1.003 fee = effective rate of .00001844
(https://i.imgur.com/0RYnPqz.jpg)

The rate I actually got is .00001851
which is roughly .00001844 * 1.003 second fee = .00001850

Hi Xeldal,

That particular market is using a prototype liquidity sensitive pricing model, in which the fill price depends on the volume you order. If you send a small amount you should get the listed price. I understand this isn't ideal, as it is far from being transparent, which is why this is getting scrapped when the limit order system comes on line. The system also adjusts the prices after every filled transaction, which might be part of what you are seeing for sequentially placed transactions at least.

Cheers, Paul.

monsterer, how will the limit order system work? Will the price in that system also be sensitive to liquidity or no longer? Thanks.

The limit order system will feature an orderbook, which contains the internal market makers orders listed for everyone to see (along with everyone else's limit orders). They will be staggered in price, probably at three different price levels for the same volume.

I would suggest a sync to a standby server at the bunker so that in the event of .. well.. this.. you could continue to operate.

DRBD would make it easy for the recovery as well with automatic recovery syncing.

When we get our expansion done after BunkerShares we plan to have our delegates configured in similar manner at remote locations that our cloud system are connected with.

Hope you are recovered in the next 3-4hrs for MineBitShares payouts!

Metaexchange site and BTS/BTC bitBTC/BTC markets are going down for an upgrade to the new limit order engine. ETA 1 hour.
Title: Re: [MetaExchange] dev-metaexchange.monsterer development diary
Post by: monsterer on June 03, 2015, 11:08:37 am
Ok, metaexchange is back on-line with new features, and a new GUI layout to accommodate the limit order markets!

To start with, we have opened up BTS/BTC and bitBTC/BTC limit order markets, so we can gently roll over into the new system.

New features for BTS/BTC and bitBTC/BTC markets:

*) You can now place limit orders on our using the same registration free process you're used to
*) Set your own refund address for buy orders to avoid the problem where funds are automatically refunded to an exchange's wallet in case of failure
*) Soft refund policy - orders are filled as much as possible and only the remainder is refunded instead of the entire order
*) More liquidity is available in both markets for larger orders
*) Get a quote (using the input boxes at the top) for any given order size before you place your order*
*) See our full orderbooks (using Expert mode)
*) Your browser will now save your bitshares/bitcoin and refund addresses so you don't need to type them in each time

Needless to say this was a big undertaking, which is why there hasn't been an update from me in a while. Nevertheless, we would like to hear your feedback about the new metaexchange, so please let us know what you think!

Cheers, Paul.

After clicking Submit, nothing happens.  Should there be some kind of confirmation that the submitted info was received?
  In particular I'd like to be sure the refund address was saved.

Submit should result in your deposit address being displayed. It auto submits when you change focus on the form, so its possible you didn't notice this.

To confirm your refund address was saved, simply close metaexchange, reload and open the market again, erase you refund address, submit and you should see a different deposit address returned. If you then re-enter your original refund address, the old deposit address should be displayed, confirming that it was associated with your refund address.

You found a bug actually - the new system attempts to find a refund address (if one was not supplied) when the transaction changes from 0 to 1 confirmations, and because this transaction was sent from a multi-sig address, the system is unable to determine the refund address automatically (the bug).

Until I fix this problem, make sure to specify your refund address when you place the order :)

Suggestions:

Get rid of the up and down arrows to adjust quantity.  It takes way too long incrementing by satoshi.  Or have them adjust buy the least significant place entered.  For example, if i enter "0.123"  and click the up arrow it should adjust to "0.124" instead of "0.12300001.

Allow entering values on both sides of the equation and automatically adjust the side that was not changed.  So you can figure out how much you need to send to get a specific amount of whatever back. Once the value is changed and the site is recalculating the other side, give a little swirly or something to show its busy calculating the new values.

I've made a couple of tweaks to the display of orderbook rows - now only displaying 8 significant digits instead of 8 decimal places, because it was getting hard to read.

Also, I've had to make account numbers inadmissible as receiving addresses, because the bitshares API cannot send to an account number, and this caused one outstanding failure to send funds.

to do a little "what is going on with metaexchange!"

we thank anyone for their support. Our goals are - make the exchange as trustfree as possible and to give the BitShares community a good exposure through metaexchange.info

at the moment we are doing many stuff, we will see in a couple of weeks. Not so much to say before it get out in the public.

- Right now, we are doing 3-5% of the daily BTS tradingvolume per day - we hope to get a higher market share in the future.

- bitUSD and BTS market are used often and bitGold, bitSilver not so much - bitCNY as much as nothing! - but we think with more people joining BitShares we will see more use of the pairs

- we added Nxt for a couple of days. Not only because we believe that Nxt will be traded on metaexchange, but we want to approach more and more communities to get them to use metaexchange. With the use of metaexchange we think some will take a look into BitShares as well.

- we have "relative, limit and quick" order but we are not sure if the function is well known, so if you think we should change something feel free to help us and give us feedback!

thank you for your time reading :D

Everytime i have to use Bitcoin - it is just not as good, as it could be!

@lakerta06 i had the same problem for a couple of days. It was just a terrible expierience, i had to wait till the next day. So hopefully it will go fast for you.

Something went wrong with my relative order. It was matched partially earlier today and now shows a bugged out bid price:

The price of my order was 0.00002095 before (100% of avg. of bid&ask).

Sorry about that - you found a bug, which I've just fixed :) Your order wasn't filled at that price, so I left it in place at the corrected (relative) price.

Hello everyone!
Just wanted to swing in and say thank u again for providing this awesome service! It's ultra convenient being able to send from coinbase to my BTS wallet while taking only a few minutes to complete the whole transaction (from coinbase log in to BTS wallet balance getting updated).
Keep up the great work!

The "Amount" column of the "Your transactions" table does not display in which currency the amount is denominated. This is a bit confusing when you sometimes have BTS amounts (partialFill, completed rows) and sometimes BTC amounts (refunded rows).

I also found another bug. To reproduce:

- Choose "Relative" Buy mode
- Reload the page - the mode automatically changes to "Quick" mode
- Try to submit the order - the error "Invalid parameter in relative" comes up

I miss having the transfer limit visible always, now I need to look for it by manually entering a large value.

Although with your increased limits its not as necessary I guess.

Really impressed with the service though, keeps getting better, I like how my orders pop up almost instantly with their status. Keep up the good work!

Btw I think its better to show the buy limit clearly, without having to guess a limit in the BTC field first. Now that I typed "10" it appears in red underneath (Max 4.9), but why not show it automatically?

Hi,

I tried metaexchange to buy some BitUSD. I probably did something wrong because I never receive the BitUSD.

I wanted 0.89 BTC in BitUSD. I followed the steps and sent 0.89 BTC at the address metaexchange gave me.

(199UtRAfjtpRcbpZDcse9tK8PNvzfmBHaD)

It's been 4 hours and I still don't have them. I checked my wallet and I haven't been refunded either.

Here are the links provided by metaexchange to check the transaction (0.89 BTC) in the blockchain :

https://blockchain.info/tx/51d770b0ed587784a7f03a6b4a4100ef35323f682007f018658df4f97539a740 (https://blockchain.info/tx/51d770b0ed587784a7f03a6b4a4100ef35323f682007f018658df4f97539a740)

The refund transaction ends up to another account on Poloniex.

They ask me for a "proof" that it's not a transfer I did voluntarily to this person.

Well, I'm not sure what kind of prove they want. I sent them a snapshot of my withdraw on Poloniex to metaexchange, both links of the incoming transaction transaction to metaexchange and the refunding one on the blockchain.

I hope it will be enough.

The problem seem to be solved. Poloniex sent me a mail, the person who received my refund agree to give it back and they will send it to me.

The Blockchain transaction was proof enough.

Very sorry about that - geth has some transaction reliability problems, for which I logged a bug on github:

https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/issues/1662

I've refunded your BTC transaction: https://blockchain.info/tx/5a5e835aab080fe461d06ec914e710ad5fdadb73507f16276d9d38ce1fdd7d13

Okay that makes sense, I figured it must've been a bug in the etherium client, since it returned a tx hash without actually making the tx. Good to know that the devs are aware of this and it looks like there's already a workaround... Anyway thank you for the fast response.
Title: Re: [MetaExchange] dev-metaexchange.monsterer development diary
Post by: monsterer on August 21, 2015, 01:40:35 pm
Update time!

Finally added a proper support request system to the main site - forcing people to sign up on this forum just to post a support request was highly inadequate!

Also corrected a bug in the API with case sensitive HTTP request headers causing incorrect API responses.

Added a workaround to the problem with geth missing transactions, so buy orders on ETH are now back up to full speed.
Title: Re: [MetaExchange] dev-metaexchange.monsterer development diary
Post by: monsterer on August 28, 2015, 09:15:16 am
Update!

Site performance, UI tweak update. The site was very slow due to a couple of bugs and the polling nature of the initial design. Hopefully, the bugs have now been squished and I've migrated the site to server push instead of polling, which should reduce the number of HTTP requests the server had to service.

UI tweaks:

I've removed the auto form submit when you changed the receiving/refund address because the presence of the 'submit' button meant that people pushed submit only to have what appeared to be nothing happen since the form had already been submitted on blur. Now you have to press submit.

Changed the default display under the market quote to list the max recommended buy/sells sizes, which are row 1 of our orderbook.

Added a small title to the quotes to make it more obvious what they are.

Cheers, Paul.

You can do that right now - just enter you BTS address (and a valid bitcoin refund address from your own wallet) into https://metaexchange.info/markets/BTS/BTC, hit submit and the generated deposit address will be permanent.

Then, point your site at this address and it will automatically pay out BTS to your account whenever your site makes payment.

Then, point your site at this address and it will automatically pay out BTS to your account whenever your site makes payment.

awesome thanks!

Metaexchange supports the upgrade to the 2.0 blockchain. To facilitate the change over, our BTS markets will shut down in this order:

8th Oct: bitUSD/BTC
12th Oct: bitCNY/BTC
12th Oct: BTS/BTC

Please do not send any funds to these markets post these dates as they will not be processed.

Post 13th Oct, metaexchange will upgrade to the 2.0 blockchain and all our BTS markets will come back online, once the pegged assets are up and running in the 2.0 chain, which is likely to be on the 15th Oct.

Cheers, Paul.

Few exchanges support this feature, unfortunately. You'll probably need to use an intermediate wallet which allows you to specify the data field.

MUSE/BTC is technically ready. riverhead will run this market like before the bitUSD market, so it is his call when he feels comfortable to start it.

monsterer will make the ANNs as soon as he has time, if he can't i will do it on sunday. we wanted to let him do it, because his english is so much better :D

What would be interesting but I don't know how/if possible is if I can buy ETH, NXT etc IOU from Metaexchange with BTS or bitbtc at least and not with NXT, ETH, BTC..

The idea is to use open ledger wallet for everything..I do not want to go buy i.e. NXT to an external exchange and then change that NXT for IOU NXT but I would like to have the option to buy your IOU.NXT with bts..Does it make sense?

received 3k bts from metaexchangepartners. I know something was supposed to happen on the 25th if I'm not mistaken? But I thought funds would be used to buyback METAFEES on the market instead of handling out bts?

I'm fine either way, I would just like to understand this. Or it wasn't related at all?

@Akado this transaction is for the signature campaign https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17602.msg268112.html#msg268112

@all the METAFEES buyback will be done in a couple of days, maybe after the new year.

after the holidays are over we will discuss what happened on 25th but the loss is not as high as expected, because the community members transfered most of the funds back.

Surely we should be given the exact time of the buy back so we can all compete by offering different prices on the day of the buyback.

Also please state which market pair where the buy back will happen.  Will it be METAEX.BTC:METAFEES like it was last time?

Hi,

I have a problem with an older order which, on my fault, did not execute. This happened on 11 September 2015.

I tried to sell 23.4 ETH but when i sent the ETH to metaexchange i did not fill in the deposit data.

Here is the tx id for the sent ETH:
https://etherchain.org/tx/0xcca62193f5fe5c0e2ece1a7bc82b6cc72014bf4fbf79569c392a52052e9872f0

The BTC address for the order was
1H9e6k3gGSZzsRmgLANoQqJ1KmoPZocSdT

My biggest problem of all is that i no longer have control over the address from which i sent the ETH as it was from ethereumwallet.org which around 22 September 2015 scammed everyone who had ETH in their online wallets. Luckily for me, i did not lose it to them.

I found that i filled a support ticket(#27 is the number of the support ticket) on the same day that i did the failed transfer but only got a generic reply that my ticket was received, and no other answer from that moment.

Is there any chance you could help me on this one?

Thanks in advance

LATER EDIT:
I also added another support ticket last night, number 163

FINAL EDIT:
Problem has been solved today by support (awesome Paul)

5:48 PM I think there’s a scammy algorithm on metaexchange that gradually increases the buy price as you continue to send to the same ETH address. I had to send to 2 accounts this morning and I saw it start at one price and move up with each transaction.
5:48
As is, the bid-ask spread starts at 10% which is terrible.
5:49
Since i don’t have a choice, I guess I have to take it. I only have 1 BTC left to send, so I’m only going to get scammed for another 5%

No. He's saying that each time he sends the price gets worse - which is true because that's how the algorithm tries to balance the sides. It's not so much a scam than he doesn't understand bridge balancing.
