This doesn’t seem like a scam to me. The necessity for a true layer 2 dex has never been more apparent with the insane gas fees as of late, and I’ve seen that there’s a publicly available beta version of the XSN dex, so it isn’t vaporware that will never be invented.
My concern is that there are a number of players in the race to a layer 2 dex. Why is /biz/ so bullish on this one in particular, and not loopring, falconswap etc.? In particular the fact that eth/erc20 is what brings in trading volume anymore, and the Xsn dex only does bitcoin and light coin so far. I know Raiden integration is on the roadmap but will they actually win the race there? Loopring and falconswap claim time release their Raiden dex at the end of September.

What’s the problem with wrapped tokens?

>> No.22172362

they fucked up in their design, maybe it's to do with it being layer 2. but oh well. it won't get uniswap levels of trade because uniswap is used for farming and anyone can list there. even if coins get listed on the stakenet dex, you can't farm with it, and so it won't capture any of the defi fags.

however, if it works and the raiden thing is possible. it'll probably get an okay amount of trade doing btc/erc20. but i don't suspect it'll get a fuck ton. there's just too much money to be made farming with pools. if stakenet change their design and go down the liquidity pool route, where anyone can just stick in a contract address and then that's it. it would be great, considering it's layer 2.

not a scam though, just won't see a lot of action imo.

uniswap is used, because of farming and all other dapps right now connect to it.

still, maybe the raiden integration will allow eth dapps to work. though i'm not sure what the point will be since there is no pool function.

This doesn't really add up as a great argument. Pooling basically gives users with assets some reward for providing liquidity. Assuming the Stakenet DEX achieves liquidity, which seems well planned for, then the only thing that is missing is users being rewarded for holding a certain asset, but this is exactly what XSN is. By holding Master Nodes or staking XSN itself you secure the network the exchange runs on (and any future DAPPs built on XSN) and are rewarded.
Its probably more attractive than pooling considering you don't have to hold speculative assets to be rewarded ,assuming DEX reaches adoption, which it has a good shot at.

Right, but Stakenet does and it isn’t getting any volume.
I feel like people aren’t going to exchange bitcoin over layer 2 DEX’s, they buy and they hold. Frequent traders are more in the erc20 game, and that’s my fear with xsn. If loopring actually has an L2 eth dex already, all they have to do is advertise it and they beat Stakenet to the punch.

Its such a stupid argument. Firstly, reason they don't get volume is because its open beta and there are only three pairs. Wait until Raiden is released and all ofERC20 is supported.
Secondly the reason BTC is held is because its slow and expensive to send it. With lightning, which you can fully use on Stakenet Dex right now, they are fast and cheap.

Relative to many defi tokens, XSN is quite advanced. As more people are sold on the underpinnings of defi, I see it working well for them - simply because they have a different and powerful technology readily available to talk about.

Top 50 on cmc puts this at $3.42. That means a masternode suicide stack is bringing in $1,365/wk while sitting on a stack worth $514k. Fundamentals be damned, the moonenomics alone has me excited. Dex fees are shared with masternodes too, so you can probably figure another $1.5k/wk from them alone. Even one mn will be about what a minwage paycheck brings each week once top 50 and fee sharing is turn on. I make a lot of losing bets in crypto. I depend on the rare one taking off more than making up for the previous losses. This is a textbook definition of skewed risk. Put $30k in and watch in for a couple years. You'll probably have either 10k or 500k with passive income on top. Not a bad proposition considering you can set and forget. Don't worry about checking up on it, threads will be made here if they pull it off. If it fails then one of my other bets will cover this. Chasing pnds, meme food farms, 10% swings, all dumb tactics. Go in with a moderate sum and hope for a 10 or 20x, consolidate returns in eth/btc. This has always been the best strategy in crypto. Get 10k link first though, no moonshot is worth passing on a sure thing.

I wanted to like it but wrapped assets already seemed like a bad idea to me. Then vb comes out and speaks against it so now we have a voice of authority telling people what to think. I try not to put money in projects competing with projects I bought into. I also passed on band. I'm not saying loop won't rape the shit out of xsn, nor saying it is the other way around. This is just a way of forcing myself to think more critically about my picks and having conviction. If I'm wrong I'm wrong, there is no consolation prize.

I'm guessing math is not your best subject. I just checked and it looks like daily xsn rewards went down again so I was off by a little, but not much. Certainly not the ridiculous amount you are off by.
5.55xsn/day*10mn*$3.42=$189.81
Seven days in a week so $1,328
150,000*3.42=513k. I must have used another decimal place giving the original 514k, but still, nowhere close to you thinking 150k*3.42=45k. Use a calculator, it's how I got my numbers and I trust it more than I trust you.

because it will allow faster swaps between exchanges than any other on chain solution, as it will aggregate the order books for many large exchanges on one platform. so, it allows arbitrage between cexes with fewer confirmations and in less time as it allows you to use zero-conf coin transfers.
