Introducing Mercury

Mercury is a desktop wallet that eliminates the need for centralized exchanges. Currencies can be traded peer-to-peer, directly from the wallets of the traders.

Mercury Wallet implements the Cross-Chain Atomic Swap protocol, allowing users to buy and sell different cryptocurrencies, without any third-parties holding their funds. Trades happen on the blockchain(s), not in some exchange's database.

I've been working on Mercury for the past few months, and it is ready for an early alpha release.

What can I trade on Mercury?

Mercury v0.1 currently supports:

• Bitcoin
• Litecoin
• Dogecoin

Many more currencies and crypto-assets will be added in the future if they are in high demand by Mercury users. Rather than supporting all altcoins, I strongly believe in only supporting cryptocurrencies that provide real value, especially innovative "Bitcoin 2.0" technologies. Any crypto-asset can be tradable on Mercury, as long as it at least supports transaction scripts like Bitcoin's.

Some possible assets to be added:

• Ethereum
• Colored coins (USD, company stock, etc.)
• Sidechains
• Nubits
• Filecoin
