Ways to Buy & Sell BitShares from within the Blockchain

[ash]

There are rumors of Bittrex delisting BTS, and with them gone, there is no centralized exchange I would use to buy BitShares.

Here are the current alternatives to buy BitShares in a more decentralized fashion

OpenLedger

OpenLedger is a company on top of BitShares. They offer a custom Wallet/Exchange cover combined with a Gateway to get non-native coins in the Decentralized Exchange.

Prominent Pair: OPEN.BTC_BTS

Rudex

Similiar to OpenLedger, Rudex is a service on top of BitShares DEX. They offer

Limited coins available but most of them come with ZERO Fees!

Blocktrades

Blocktrades is a shapeshift alternative with roots in BitShares. They offer a web frontend and are available from within the BitShares Platform

Crypto-Bridge

Similiar to OpenLedger and Rudex, a new Gateway/Bridge to BitShares.

They have to work (lower) on market fees to become relevant in my opinion.

Every coin can be traded against BTS

or any other Pair :)

Going to have to pull my BTS off Bittrex, I'll look into the process

[ash]

it's super easy :) https://steemit.com/bitshares/@ash/bitshares-how-to-withdraw-bts-from-bittrex-to-your-bitshares-wallet

How long does it take for the withdrawal? For me, it never moves from the pending state.

[ash]

from bittrex? it's very fast usually... unless they ran out of bitshares :)

[memeu]

it just says 'authorized' under the pending withdrawal but is not transferring it.. any tips?

[ash]

wait...

[tajnost]

email verification link to release the authorized withdrawal?

[stephen-somers]

Thanks @ash I'm waiting for the transaction to process now.

Man I have a hard time to withdraw from exchange because "deposit address who seem different from your usual 12xyouknowhatxx" and then realize I just have to use my account name.

Hi Mate
Thank you for the great info !
I tried to get the desktop bitshares wallet and be connected but I have a "Failed Sync API server' keep coming in. I tried to change API server and match the time zone with my Mac and nothing happen. I would like to withdraw my great amount of BTS to hold it but so far I can't. Any help appreciate it :)

[ash]

did you try another wallet gui?

openledger.io for example

[jlcrypto]

Yes and it does the exact same thing. Impossible to find answer on internet I spent 2 hours on it

[chronogn]

Thanks for the info. I'm going to try this out and maybe go buy some BTS on a discount!

[matt-a]

Is there any official announcement or reasoning as to why this is being decided? It doesn't really make much sense whatsoever . . . Unless Bittrex is viewing them as competition (which they are). Sounds like a hell of a buying opportunity.

[matthewdavid]

Good list. I've used OpenLedger and @blocktrades
