Cool Things to Trade on Bitshares DEX (OpenLedger)

in bitshares •  7 years ago 

Currently due to some issues im using just two exchanges daily - @bittrex and OpenLedger by @bloggersclub

While the first one you probably know good enough since thats where STEEM launched, OL may be a thing you are missing. And you shouldnt!

Exchange is based on Bitshares (same code as STEEM) and is fully decentralized. Meaning all trades are between users, without 3rd party inbetween and nobody can shut it down. Its all on blockchain.

It has nice GUI and loads of things to trade.

I will not give tutorial of the exchange - just REGISTER HERE and try it yourself. Yes STEEM and SBD is trading there.

Most Popular Pairs

bitCNY bitUSD

Yes you can trade currencies 100% pegged 1:1 to CNY or USD there for all coins on exchange. This is STEEM vs bitUSD ie.
But it gets better, you have there bitGOLD 1:1 GOLD pegged asset and more.

Everything vs BTS

Any coin or asset you can trade (if there is buyers or sellers) with any. The biggest liquidity of course is on BTS so almost everything there trades for BTS so you can get unusual pairs.

DASH EXCL

Like the anonymous DASH? You can trade it and its PoS version called EXCL fully decentralized. While using coins which are not BTS assets you need to look for OPEN.x where x is the name. In this case OPEN.DASH and OPEN.EXCL but also applies to BTC LTC ETH etc.

ICOO OBITS

Tokens released by the platform itself. To understand them more google but tldr - OBITS are bought back from profits and ICOO shares BTCs every month between holders of the coin.

SO ARE YOU READY TO GO 100% DECENTRALIZED ??

This post just might raise the price of BTS. Would you share your thoughts on the 'issues' on other exchanges? Or is it too much bad publicity?

Others you have to trust them, here its all in your wallet. No website or owner can go down, its all yours as long as internet exists ;)

Just like I prefer it... keeping things from being stolen yet still making the money work. Especially my crypto$. Keeping money in a secure wallet or offline is great. But if you can't also use it actively or invest it your missing out if you like to speculate. For some people that's fine.

@buzzbeergeek just open your account on openledger BItshares Dex, and try it :)

I have an Open Ledger account . @virtualgrowth has sent me an insane amount of BTS already!

Thx @kingscrown,

Did you know that STEEMFACTORY tokens are a Bitshares Asset on the DEX? Follow our project @SteemFactory.

Also, check out our video on how to trade on the Bitshares DEX.

Interesting!

OBITS are bought back from profits and ICOO shares BTCs every month between holders of the coin.

Can you clarify this a bit? I bought some OBITS a while back because I wanted to support the OpenLedger team, but it seems they've only gone down in value since then. Heheh. :)

Loading...

Ya, the buy back and burn was suppose to make the value go up. Maybe there's not enough people sell back.

ICOO you earn BTC just by holding, OBITS is a token but they guarantee buybacks monthly

I'm trying to make sense of this but I'm lost. Maybe another couple of glasses of wine will help.

Please report back if you figure it out.

I am trying to get into bitcoin but I am not sure if I can trust the technology. I have tried it with cryptsy and then coinbase and got screwed both times...before I can download my coins to my wallet they locked me out of my account...are you guys having similar experiences as I do in crypto?

Can you clarify what you mean by "got screwed" and "locked me out of my account"? Did you forget your password or something? Did you falsify identity records or validate their terms of service?

If you own the private key, you own the crypto. If not, you don't and you have to trust a third party. True ownership of cryptocurrency can't be stopped by anyone.

no, didn't forget my user pass , it just suddenly wouldn't let me login to the site so I wasn't able to gain access to anything....even to download my cryptos to my wallet.

and no , I have done nothing wrong. Just couldn't login one day and I send a ticket to request reset but we just kept going in circles because the new user and pass still doesn't work...we did this back and forth at least 10 times and tried calling support and never got a call back

and just so you understand, coinbase is currently undergoing a class action lawsuit by many users experiencing the same problem.

I am reluctant to get into crypto again because of my experiences with crypto, it's not regulated and no accountabillity...sounds like a scam to me...I hate to say it.

Do you use a password manager? Is there any chance someone got access to your password (i.e. do you use the same password on multiple sites and one of those sites was hacked?), logged in, and changed the password?

Online security is not just the responsibility of the services we log into. If you have a keylogger installed, no amount of security on the target service will help (other than maybe 2FA). If your OS doesn't have the latest security patches or if you don't have up-to-date anti-virus software, then you may want to avoid crypto right now.

I assure you, it's not a scam. Centralized services like MtGox might be, but the code and the protocols themselves are not.

no, I do not use password manager. Let me just say that IT isn't the issue here, I work with software so I somewhat know what I am doing....it's none of those you've mentioned. Coinbase is undergoing a class action lawsuit as we speak for the very same reason....look it up if you don't believe me.

Can you include a link? When I google, I see results relating to Cryptsy.

well, I think coinbase either acquired cryptsy or they were cryptsy operating under coinbase..it's really hard to really know for sure since everything is hidden. But here's a link : http://www.newsbtc.com/2016/12/16/coinbases-faces-class-action-lawsuit-from-cryptsys-victims/

I also speculate that the crytsy owner Paul Vernon is just a scapegoat for bigger scams .

i have been looking in to open ledger more and more with the crap at poloinex. this is a clear future in exchanges.

LOVE IT

Excellent work sir @kingscrown thank you very much for sharing this information, it is always good to have options,
Have a great start to the week

Its a very nice exchange. And you can create your own coins! Their called User Issued Assets or UIA.

I also work with bitshares to, it's straight forward and easy to work with.

Great post! I really like OpenLedger. Thank you @kingscrown

I've just started learning this exchange and it's slow going, definitely a bigger learning curve than Steemit!
I'd love to see more coins listed. I don't see why all crypto traders wouldn't be all over this with its automatic decentralized design.

Wow didn't even know this existed with bitshares platform, what is the liquidity like? By the way I am giving away 1 Ethereum, check my blog for details

Thanks for the informative post! Never heard about OpenLedger, cool that a decentralized exchange exists. One of nice things about crypto is that it allows to bypass third parties (banks, government, etc.), extending decentralization to the exchange kinda makes sense...

Why isn't more people using openledger? How does it work when depositing money? Is it totally decentralized? Why aren't there more coins to trade?

Thanks for your informative post!

I love using Openledger and I'm fascinated by the technology.

The fascination of the technology and security aspects have lead to some losses for me there too :-( - but agreed it is a cool exchange and probably the future

I bought Bishares at anything under .01 and am holding! There is talk that BitShares 3.0 will run off of Dan's new EOS project. Stan Larimer is doing a big presentation in Hollywood and the new coins launched at the competition will be released on OpenLedger.

You are a true pioneer Mr. Bones

Actually not! Just an Old Dog still trying to learn!

Is OpenLedger doing the same thing as Shape Shift?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

No. It's a real exchange.

Thanks for posting this. I'm really fed up with polo lag!

What about BURST coins?

Cheers for this! Nice exchanges linked

This is some amazing information! I have followed, Resteemed, and upvoted because the content is absolutely amazing!

cool post

Great post!
I will follow you!
Steem on!

I want to be decentralized but I am not sure if i can trust btc since it's not regulated. I have been burnt before, I was locked out of my account from coinbase and took all my money before I had the chance to download btc to my private wallet. Coinbase is currently undergoing class action lawsuit because of this, so I hope you can understand why I am hesitant to get involve in this again.

This is probably a dumb question, but after depositing Steem into open ledger I notice that it shows the exchange for Bitshares. If I want to hold bitshares instead of Steem, may I buy this directly on the exchange? or do I have to use Bitcoin?

You can buy there all kinds of currencies and withdrawal anywhere you need

Just now starting to look at Bitshares but am a little confused on bithsares.org vs OpenLedger.io. Is OpenLedger.io the new version of Bitshares.org?

What a GREAT post! Plus the comments...well done, there's a treasure trove of info all right here. I upvoted and will certainly keep following you :)

Who thinks Bitshares is better than Poloniex?

They have different strengths. Use both.
