Title: ShapeShift useful for bitUSD?

http://cointelegraph.com/news/112912/shapeshift-lens-unveils-automated-btc-payments-using-altcoins

"Instant cryptocurrency exchange service ShapeShift has launched a new service aimed specifically at simplifying payments across different currencies.

ShapeShift Lens allows Bitcoin payments to be sent using a range of altcoins, with the conversion handled automatically once payment has been submitted."

This service is awesome.  I just used it for the first time to convert some Namecoin that's been sitting in my Bitminter account into Bitcoin.  Very quick and easy and great UX.

I've heard some talk on the boards of a web based BitShares wallet in development.  If bitUSD is integrated into ShapeShift, it would be fairly easy to integrate into the web wallet, via Shapeshifts API, to allow new users to deposit BTC and receive bitUSD in their wallet.  Users could then withdraw bitUSD directly to BTC. 

Integrating ShapeShift into a web wallet would also be a great selling point for getting bitUSD supported on their platform.

Just wondering , what's the difference if I sell some Namecoin on BTC38 for BTC instead of this service ?

Hello BitShares community,

We're very honored that you guys are looking forward to integration on ShapeShift. BitShares has been one of our top candidates for integration and we will soon begin work on this coin. You can expect it, at the latest, in mid-December.

We'd love to find some developers within this community who can build interesting tools with the ShapeShift API (such as integrating it into desktop or web wallets or other BitShares platforms). If you have creative ideas, we would love to support your effort through direct discussions with our devs and some promotion in the broader Bitcoin community when it's done.

Feel free to contact us directly at mail at shapeshift.io

See you on the moon!

Thank you very much, SS! The currency we would most love to add is BitUSD, which is BitShares' market-pegged asset. And BTS would be a nice bonus. You guys have a very exciting application and I'm sure many of us will use it.

Post by: speedy on November 15, 2014, 04:21:03 pm
If Shapeshift were to add BTC -> BitBTC, there really would be zero reason for ever holding Bitcoin anymore. You could just hold BitBTC (and get interest on it), and convert it via Shapeshift whenever you need to spend at somewhere that accepts Bitcoin.

Awesome news! Are you considering adding BitUSD or will it just be the BTS crypto token? I think integrating BitUSD is a better idea because it is the "product" BitShares creates. As far as cryptos go, it's much more novel and useful.

It will be competitive spreads...  Wait, there's no competition ( for the moment )!  Sure we want people to take USD directly but I'm excited it's better to have options and integration.  it's just safer.
Title: Re: ShapeShift useful for bitUSD?
Post by: blahblah7up on November 16, 2014, 03:54:01 pm
Doesn't this technology essentially make Bitcoin obsolete?  It certainly no longer has network-effect advantage over any other cryptos in terms of merchant adoption.  How will the price of Bitcoin hold against Dogecoin for example, once this system is adopted widely?  Neither would have a value superior to the other accept in terms of the fee ShapeShifter is charging for the service.

Does anyone else think things like this could radically change the way value is measured inside the crypto space?  How will value be measured?

From the implementation perspective this should be a no-brainer.
Every transaction has an "amount" field an an "asset_id" field .. asset_id=0 is BTS ... asset_id =14 is USD (not sure with the number :) )

Title: Re: ShapeShift useful for bitUSD?
Post by: Rune on November 23, 2014, 08:52:13 pm
It will be us BTS users who decide what spreads shapeshift will charge for their conversions. The higher volume we trade on the exchanges and on our internal DEX, the lower the spreads will be, and similarly the lower spreads shapeshift will charge because their spreads will be exchange spreads + small commission. If we want them to integrate bitBTC then we have to make sure that the BTC/bitBTC spread becomes very small, by trading it as much as we trade bitUSD. Right now the spread is more than 10% on the DEX so I don't think it's viable yet.
Title: Re: ShapeShift useful for bitUSD?
Post by: hpenvy on November 24, 2014, 04:25:08 am
Do we see this integrating into one of the future web wallets? I understand we have on/off ramps heading our way. With Shapesihft, any business that accepts Bitcoin will be able to immediately accept bitUSD. Shapeshift might even give BTC users a reason to convert to bitUSD to protect against volatility if they plan on making purchases throughout the week.  There's a lot of different ways to possibly use this in marketing awareness.

There is a very interesting play here.

bitUSD combined with shapeshift, just gave the world a decentralized bitpay for the worlds unbanked.  Well the exchange I guess is not decentralized, but the fact that the coins are in your wallet that you control the  private keys to  almost at all times is a big leap forward.

Now if they can add bitEURO and bitCNY as well, maybe even bitGOLD, then they'll have a full pseudo-fiat <=> BTC service :)

Keep making small BTC -> BitUSD transactions. It would keep visibility for an easy option to move into USD when needed to avoid volatility, or to preserve value during falling prices.

Very fast!

The only problem that will certainly confuse newbies, our robo-avatars !!!
I should see a white robot for depositing to shapeshiftio  account but my wallet showed me a brown robot avatar... I confirmed that it was the right one...
So maybe after the changes with the robots they must change their robot to the brown also(?)

Excellent video by Bitshares.TV. -  Max interviews Shapeshift's head of operations.  Video includes great press for BitShares and in particular BitAssets.

I see them using bter to buy and sell BTS and bitusd.

And I just realized with that one comment that I revealed way too much personal information.

Shapeshift is pretty great though. I won't miss giving bter a 1% cut. My other transactions were flawless and almost instant. There is a lot of value in this tool.

How would they use bter if at this moment in time shapeshift price is 0.00004323 yet the lowest ask on bter is 0.0000456? Wouldn't they lose a lot doing this?

We need a number of these options, decentralized or not. They will help people access BitShares and help us get off the ground. Later on, we let the market decide who has the fairest and most affordable model.

I was wondering how they were getting their bitUSD and BTS!

So next step would be to have them use the DEX instead, now that would be cool!

I think that was due to the more than 1.5 million share dump that happened, not to shapeshift.  (Unless someone used shapeshift to dump). 

The price was at 4700 and there was some of the biggest buywalls under the price that I've ever seen on bter (two 500k+ walls).  And there was practically no shares for sale at all, and then some guy decided to set fire to it all by dumping it straight down to 4200.


I cant wait until the people who were upset by the november changes have finished selling all their BTS.

If they were big AGS holders they still have a lot of selling to do thanks to the November changes.

Having said that all the merger shares that were made available with 0.5 didn't have as big of a price negative effect as I expected so that's promising.

The convenience offered by ShapeShift can bring in new people who otherwise may not have bothered - excellent!

I just find it incredible that there could be so many whales who had huge stakes in BTSX that were so pissed off by the transition to BTS that they decided the whole thing wasn't worth it and that they just completely wanted out. It's like they didn't really get the vision of what BitShares is all about (or had some other understanding of the vision) and dumped a load of money into it initially anyway. I too can't wait until these angered whales are finished (IMHO foolishly) selling their stakes so that we can go back to an increasing price.

I am not sure if the selling is due to bts whales or simply a blockchain employee/account user needing some fiat to feed their stomach. People do need to eat.

And yet the other way around:

1.00 NBT = 0.97716786 BITUSD

I think they have teething troubles. About a week ago (?) the rate for converting BitUSD to BTC was completely wrong.
I told one of their operators about the problem over the chat facility and they fixed it the same night.
