RE: Do any truly decentralized and trustworthy exchanges really exist?
Apparently quite a lot of them…
Is anyone from MAID attending this conference in Athens next week?
Seems like fortunate timing to be able to meet relevant players in one location at a time when MAID needs an alternative to Poloniex for US customers/investors…
A short trip between Scotland and Greece?
I hope Dr. Irvine can give an update soon
Not apparent in your link! Care to share? 
Is there anything special to this?

The forever web, permaweb? Who’s been spying 
When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
It is a clever use of blockchain, but the data is still sitting unsecured somewhere.
I like the PermaWeb name… Can we borrow it?
Is there any way to remove pages or data from the permaweb?
“Yes, removal can be enabled given consensus by the mining majority. We’ll soon have a more extensive ‘blacklist’ that miners can choose to implement, therefore reducing the likelihood of copyrighted or illicit content entering the network.”
Better to wait for:
Good that the idea is catching on, but the SAFENetwork architecture is far more advanced and well suited to the job.
Guess what’s baking:
Zucks getting ripped apart again. This time over Libra.
As I said up thread MAID has a history of trading on BitShares…It’s been around the longest, never been hacked, has a huge market following in China, a lot of development behind it and in future, I’m sure if you’re really interested you can do your own research…Cheers!
I’m only allowed to put 2 links in a post…
Do you know if the created contract allows the creator to “control the coins”.
Can they stop the trading and withhold the coins?
I tried Bitshares out a few years ago and it was pretty good for the time, but as a decentralised exchange it has been left behind like quite a few others in this rapidly evolving space. If a decentralised exchange is asking you to create an account then it is doing it wrong. The gold standard is no accounts or sign ups, just plug in your hardware wallet and start trading. That is where the decentralised trading volume appears to have moved to because it just makes sense and is way more secure.
“The BBC has made its international news website available via the Tor network, in a bid to thwart censorship attempts…The browser can obscure who is using it and what data is being accessed, which can help people avoid government surveillance and censorship.”

I’m sure for people who want that kind of service …“no accounts” are perfect…but I don’t necessarily think it has to be mutually exclusive… Furthermore a “no accounts” service will eventually still have to deal with regulatory authorities…
Far from being “left behind”…BitShares is actually continuously pioneering in many ways…what they lack is solid marketing…which is an inherent issue in a decentralized governance structure
BTS has “stealth and/ or blinded” transactions for those who want them…where transfers between parties are private or partially anonymous (wherein the amount & type of token are not revealed")
Secondly BitShares is more than just an exchange…e.g Recurring payments., stablecoin issuance, custom coins, prediction markets,margin trading, barter exchange, HTLC
Future features --…Atomic Swaps, BEOS…“jurisdictional agility” and a long list of other services…You really have to take some time it to get a full understanding…and because it has a solid community and developers behind it…it can compete with a “gold” standard. easlily…not to mention it’s very very fast blockchain times…checkout Blocktivity. (.I’m limited to 2 links so can’t include here)
Given MAIDSAFE’s long development time…being on a Decenttralized exchange will allow US investors, traders, and market makers a reasonable assurance a Poloniex situation won’t happen again…
P.S. IMHO a service with “no accounts” will have scaling and adoption challenges…massive growth depends on appeal to average Joe & Jane consumers who are used to logins / passwords…Retail banks continue to exist because people will always trade convenience over anonymity /security…at least for now…Cheers!
The plan, which Google intends to implement soon, would enforce the encryption of DNS data made using Chrome, meaning the sites you visit. Privacy activists have praised Google’s move. But ISPs are pushing back as part of a wider lobbying effort against encrypted DNS, according to the presentation. Technologists and activists say this encryption would make it harder for ISPs to leverage data for things such as targeted advertising, as well as block some forms of censorship by authoritarian regimes.
