Atomic swaps? Like shapeshift? We can integrate with anyone like shapeshift, since we have not polluted the RPC with any breaking changes.

what i meant was converting bbp to btc. on CCEX the withdrawl fee is 200k satoshi.
atomic swaps are cross chain exchanges without exchanges.
https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/guides/what-are-atomic-swaps/im wondering the derived code base supports that (or can support it in the future)
Oh OK, thanks.
Since atomic swaps are so new no one is really doing a lot in Prod yet, it looks like they are executing some in bitcoin testnet as HTLCs and it looks like the developers on the Lightning Network have their own version of atomic swaps coming out (by using channels).
We could Potentially support one or the other or both, possibly, in the future. We have to see what kind of adoption the LN network has. If we went that direction we would need to consider running an LN server somewhere on our network, to host the actual channel.
On the bitcoin side, the script language already supports the HTLC's - the hash time locked contracts, however BIP199 is not integrated in our codebase fully, but if need be, I think we could merge the rest of it in.
This is something Im very interested in. Actually the retirement account project has a very similar requirement - to facilitate a colored coin trustless trades.
I would not mind merging in BIP 199 as a side project and testing an HTLC in BBP. I was thinking last week of potentially creating a multiwallet, that allows storage of many different type of altcoin keys in one wallet, maybe in the Biblepay wallet. With these two features together, we could potentially host a single wallet with multiple balances.
The issue of course is the rolling blockchain. But it would be cool to tackle bitcoin + biblepay and stop there. The sanctuaries could potentially run bitcoin daemons, and maybe, we could have our own atomic trades between BTC -> BBP. That would be a pretty good value add for us.
