Title: Welcome to TheDex.org
Post by: JonnyB on January 08, 2016, 11:44:01 pm
www.THEDEX.org

This is my domain for which I intend to build an exchange/gateway in the coming months. Currently it is just a quick mockup of how I would like it to look and the links at the top all link to openledger via my own affiliate links.
I want thedex.org to be familiar and simple for traders like myself and I don't see the need to explain the technicalities of bitshares or even mention bitshares.

I'm planning on forking the gui and making these changes:

- change the whole colour scheme and style so it is easily recognised as thedex.org
- limit the gui so the trade pairs only allow trading against my own UIABTC (this how other exchanges work and helps with liquidity)
- trade specific UIA tokens from other providers such as metaexchange and openledger
- trade UIAs only including DOLLARS and maybe YUAN (I own these UIA tokens already)
- Use uphold.com accounts as an easy simple gateway to and from fiat
- have the main site and gui as one page instead of 2 separate ones like openledger is doing now.

I previously set up the UK's largest network of bitcoin ATMs (12) and have since sold my half of the company and now run telebit.org
I have been involved with bitcoin from the early days co-founding the largest btc meetup (London)  and used to live with both Amir taaki and Vitalik Buterin aswell a recruiting the lead dev for ethereum.
I see bitshares as the future of all exchanges and have invested heavily in BTS and now want to build my own exchange. However I cannot code and am looking for a co-founder who can to work with me on this exchange.
I will be in prague and budapest over the next week but will be looking to get started on this when I am back. If you think you are on the same page as me when it comes to creating an exchange and can code please get in contact either on here or via telegram or twitter @JonnyBitcoin

PS
I also think these changes should be made to the main website   https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares.github.io/issues (https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares.github.io/issues)

This is similar to how OpenLedger.info should look like. It looks like an exchange site.

Looks nice and I really like your initiative! Keep it up and good luck!

Finally someone knows how to choose a decent domain name.

Nice to see another exchange project get going and good to see you have experience running a business in this space.

Good to have you on board ..
Do you have any plans to bring liquidity to BITbtc eventually? (I do understand the reasons to use a uia instead though)

Business users take  the trouble to  code ,this is our dereliction of duty.
Bitshares must be very easy to commercial and secondary development.
商业用户如果要费尽一番周折才能开发出自己的交易所,这是比特股的失职。作为开源软件,作为应用软件,我们要非常容易整合到各种应用场景中去,最好一键完成,傻瓜都会。否则,站长们不会采用比特股。这是毋庸置疑的,因为我们自己的官方论坛都没有整合比特股。

I agree.. we need to continue to move towards that.

For what is worth I can confirm that JonnyBitcoin is telling the truth.

Really nice, if I can help you somehow let me know. I would like to do this also.

Adding: I would like to make a disco version of the gui. With blinking and color changing outlines.
