I was thinking about the purpose to why bitcoin and every other cryptocoin were created, simply to create a decentralized currency. Correct?
Basically a currency that has no central bank, no one entity in control of the currency, and completely anonymous.

I have no idea if someone already thought of this but it would sure be a good topic to discuss.

Being that cryptocurrency's main purpose is decentralization doesn't exchanges like mtgox, btc-e, cryptsy...etc defeat the purpose of decentralization?

So would it even be possible to create a decentralized exchange by taking lets say bitcoin and protoshare for example and, creating a single wallet that holds both coins. Then create a whole exchange system implemented into the wallet and people looking to buy/sell PTS for bitcoin would basically send their coins to their wallet. A buyer/seller would then set a asking/bidding price per PTS or bitcoin they are selling (they must have the required amount already in their wallet) and simply post it.

Would it be possible to kind of add the offers into the blockchain or something similar that way when someone downloads the wallet it would download the blockchain and the list of offers from other buyers/sellers. Basically creating a decentralized exchange that is not controlled by any single person or group. When someone decides to buy PTS with bitcoin they would simply click buy and a 2 way transaction would occur (the seller's coins are sent while the buyers coins are sent at the same time).  There's much more points to cover but just a rough idea on what I was thinking of.

What do you guys think? Would this be doable?


Sorry for the mistypes and any other errors.

Hey guys instead of creating a new thread I decided to edit this one and remove the expired promotion.

I'll update the first post with other trials, free credits and other freebies that I find suitable for mining PTS.

If you find a good freebie server/trial/free credit, post here or Private message me with the details and it will be added to the main post.

Another free month of a server similar to datasoft.ws: EXPIRES FEB 28 2014

http://www.server4you.com/dedicated-server/special-offer.php

You'll have to pay a 1$-2$ for verification, MAKE SURE TO CANCEL ANY MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS ADDED TO YOUR PAYPAL ACCOUNT OR CREDIT CARD OR JUST CANCEL YOUR  SUBSCRIPTION BEFORE YOUR FREE MONTH ENDS.

They might charge your PP/CC for the full price but I spoke to support and they said it was a mistake and you won't get charged for the first month. If they charge you for the first month and fail to issue a refund then simply open a dispute on Paypal explaining the situation or dispute the charge with your bank.

I've found a new trial offer for 200$ from Dimensions Data, they charge a hourly rate on servers.

Not sure but when your close to 200$ limit stop your servers because I think you get charged for anything above 200$ free credit.

Here's the link and details about the promotion:

Found another one:

A free 100$ credit on Amazon AWS that can be used on the EC2 service awesome for mining PTS.

http://aws.amazon.com/big-data/powerof60/

New accounts and old accounts are eligible for the 100$ free credit, just fill in the information and submit the form. If you have an account just fill in the details that match your amazon aws account details and the same email.

With 24-48 hours they will email you with the credits as a code that you enter in your aws control panel and a 100$ will be added to your account. If your monthly bill is a 100$ at the time you redeem the 100$ credit it will pay the amount owing.

You can only redeem one credit code on one account, don't try getting more than one code it won't let you redeem it. I tried.
