Nobody said you have to bid 60 BTC. The bidding starts at 10 BTC.

Yes it does include the source code, it's been 100% written by our team. As for the access how would that work ? We obviously can't just send you the files, but we could work something out so you have a better idea of the backend structure. Feel free to pm me for specific info you would like to know.

We are the selling the whole infrastructure, which can hardly be summarized by just a "script", and the design work. Of course there is marketing work to be done to get decent volume. Hosting is around $70/month, but it could be done less expensively if you don't want to be hosted in Switzerland. There are no other operational expenses.

If you look at the trading volume since inception (which is slighty more than the last month), we stand at 0.12 BTC.

It is a bit above 0.001 BTC. Keep in mind that this figure is hardly indicative of potential future earnings, since we did almost no advertising, no announcement post here on bitcointalk or hardly any kind of marketing.

Dear Bitcointalk users,

Due to recent changes in the management team, we are auctioning off our cryptocurrency exchange Swisscoinex (available at https://swisscoinex.com). The site is fully functional and has been running for more than a month. We have dozens of clients that have been successfully trading on it.

You can register to fully appreciate the user interface, wallet management and settings options.

The platform has some exclusive features you won't find on any other cryptocurrency exchange. We are the first to offer GPG authentication for login as well as withdrawals and the compact, single-screen interface provides all the needed information at a single glance, without the need to endlessly scroll.

** What is included **

- The domain name
- The Facebook page, the Twitter account as well as this (Bitcointalk) account
- The complete front-end interface code
- The matching engine, along with all the back-end code
- The complete deposit/withdrawal infrastructure for coins, along with scripts to generate environments for new coins very quickly (Dockerfiles to spawn containers)
- Consistency check scripts for accounting soundness

With the scripts provided, adding a new coin to the exchange is very easy, it can take literally as little as 10 minutes.

You can easily change the name and the logo if you wish to do so.

Starting Bid: 10 BTC
Bid increment: 0.5 BTC
Buy it now: 60 BTC

End of Auction: February, 23rd at 12:00 GMT

Note: There is a reserve price, meaning that if we are not satisfied with the highest bid at the end of the auction period, we reserve the right not to proceed with the sale.

Technically speaking, the way decentralized exchanges work, you will always have a high trade latency. Most short-term traders prefer to rely on a centralized entity for faster and more accurate trade execution, and since they are the ones providing liquidity, they are more attractive to occasional and long-term traders as well. Liquidity on exchanges is analogous to the network effect, it's hard to get started but then the value grows exponentially.

He obviously meant Proof of Stake. It's an utterly bad idea, here's a nice pdf explaining why: https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf

Fingers crossed, let us know how that works out for you!

Of course it's a threat. Anything that the central bankers can't control and that can be used to transfer or store monetary value is a threat to the financial system that's been in place for decades.

Some revealing quotes:



Of course they would rather like to inflate it to the moon, as they do with fiat.

It's not like any ban on bitcoin is technically enforceable, they can hurt exchanges though.

The way bitcoin works is more akin to a settlement layer, not really a payment processor processing thousands of small-size transactions per second. I think we will need off-chain scaling solution to achieve mainstream if you want to maintain the useful properties that bitcoin has today.

Malleability is an issue for off-chain scaling solutions such as the Lightning Network.

Great, thank you for considering us, looking forward to being listed with you!

Indeed, Altcoins are here to stay, there will always be people willing to try new ideas.

Very nice website, any chance we can get listed as an exchange ?
