Say, OP-kun.

Given that 0x Protocol is ICOing (and possibly distributing) in 3 days or so, wouldn't it make sense to use it in order to build a decentralized exchange?

set it up on some caribbean island and don't pay taxes

>0x Protocol
no bcause it wont make money as easily, and because non-ethereum based coins need market too

>>3030861
how do i pay for hosting then

>>3030862
Oh. That makes sense I suppose!

Well, I'm not sure how to answer those questions OP-kun. But I *do* know that there are some sites/services that help you build a crypto exchange. Maybe you can ask them?

ok, but what coins would u like to see tho, like the non shitcoins

>>3030826
I think you are in over your head.

>>3030925
Well, I think you should start with tokens that are used for platform purposes, as they are generally more liquid.

So I would say Bitcoin (as the main medium and as a platform itself once RSK comes out), Ethereum, Stratis, Waves, Lisk, Ark, Obsidian (once it finishes ICOing), Aeternity (once they're distributed, and maybe District0x (Though not a platform for dapps and ETH-specific, it is a platform for decentralized marketplaces and communities).

Sounds like a reasonable start, right?

>>3030826
I would refrain from it if I were you
think about it, not only the time it will take you
the most important thing is noone will put shit in your exchange, and you will be left with nothing
unless you have an insanely good product and very good pr, but I doubt it
don't loose your time!

Why don't you just program a game, like minecraft

>i know c++ so i can make a high performance time series engine and deal with the maintenance issues for each individual shitcoin

might work better in just C, dipshit

I can already tell from your post that you're just a hobbyist programmer, if that.

An exchange is not a hobbyist project. The security issues alone are a nightmare. There will be thousands of people trying to gain unauthorized access 24/7. Do you have experience with web security? Because you're looking at bank level shit here. You can't afford a single bug that will affect your users' balances, either. It also needs to be performant and stable with 99.9+% uptime. You also need an API so users can integrate their own software with it, and that creates another security challenge. You also need DDoS protection, because DDoSing exchanges is one way people manipulate currency values.

Even if you were a professional developer, this is not even close to a 1-man job. Maybe back in 2010 you could've just slapped some shit together, but that won't fly these days.
