There goes, almost a year of hard work of Minex team on atomic-swap-based DEX is for nothing. There is already an elegant mechanism through the BLOCKNET protocol to address the issue. Good for community and very sad for team. But this is a good lesson for them. Before addressing that issue developers had to be fully acquainted with what the other teams are doing.
How does the development of our own exchange refers to third-party service? Our released products will became a part of MNX ecosystem, it's not a good idea to replace them with some other services.
Then let me make this as simple as possible. Imagine for a moment that in front of you two cell phones. One of them is a kind of cutting edge technique while the other one has only a single button functioning, nothing else. Developers of the last persuade you to get their phone and promise that eventualy it will function as it should be. Which one will you take?
Back to DEX. BlockDX is cutting edge exchange that allows atomic swap between nodes of any blockchain and has already very sofisticated and advanced GUI. (BTW, it is referenced as the best blockchain tech of 2018). The groundworks of Minex in this field fall well short of what users have been led to expect as it demonstrated so far only the prototypes of transfers between very limited types of blockchains ( MNX <--> BTC, MNX <--> LTC ?).
For me, the choice is clear.
