We make a benchmark of all dex avalable. Only bitshares works enough good but still there is no platform  good enough. We will maintain minimun services till any dex arise good. We were about to try omni but team detected huge failures (including wallet stealing, log problems...). So for now BTS in openledger is the only good option. - but still not good enough as platform visual markets- If there were a way to connect it to ninjatrader our public will grow exponentialy.

I assume that as in other marketplaces volume is the first goal, couse other goals like reliability the bitshares reach very good.

I will give some tips from my experience of wich improvements would be important to follow.

-design, visualization. For users 70% of choose one or other marketplaces depends on the platform/their visualization. i.ex: ninjatrader, . Poloinex, etc.. When people link their market price with in example candlesticks on twitter, huge people watch it. But they cant see an atractive place to trade/buy shares.
-obits/new webs,.. those desing of web are extremelly messy. Like if someone pic pictures and just deploy. Not much clear desing of those webs.
-price movements. To run an asset would be more atractive to have an option of have a bot price moving where we could set up a liquidity pool. That would help asset issuers to keep price moving and liquidity flow.
-help weak asset: there are many death assets, probably couse issuers and traders always watch same markets on the marketplace. It would be good some kind of rotative main markets. That would encourage a chance for low volume markets.
Well just some opinion that could help to empower the bitshares enviroment.

yep it seem marketing is all even if the product is a crap. Anyway I think that many people after they try the hope-sellers and crashing machine products they finally will opt for bitshares. While it is the best I will be pushing it :)

Hello guys im from the CryptoIndex team. (wich tracks cryptoworlds, 30 most volume markets, etc). I have read that bitshares is dead,... slack is dead,..., blablabla.
WTF guys. If you compare it with most competitors THERE IS NOTHING BETTER AND RELIABLE. You can check it. Try other decentralized exchanges. They dont work, antivirus DNS alert jump, websites that doesnt work, dates for 2018. Come one.. maybe is not the uber brand new screen platform. But for now, is the only one that works and reliable.
