encouraging initiative 

[xeroc]

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)

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

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.

Finally someone knows how to choose a decent domain name.

The free market gains some competition. I love the simplicity and focus. Right on!

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!

I'm impressed!

[Xeldal]

Good stuff.  That's the way to do it.

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
