The long-awaited Cryptocurrency Exchange extension for the Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets WordPress plugin is finally out!
the Exchange extension
With this extension to Bitcoin and Altcoin Wallets for WordPress, you can set up a full cryptocurrency exchange. The Exchange extension is suitable for setting up small exchanges that carry lesser-known altcoins.
This first release is a beta version that may or may not be production-ready. Use it at your own risk.
If you do spot any issues or if you have questions, please use the support forum for this extension.
This extension cannot scale to the trading volumes of the big exchanges. Its aim is to enable small website owners to provide exchange functionality, with minimal effort, on top of WordPress.
