-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Regarding decentralized exchanges, there are many... ExchangeD.I2P - - as described at http://cryptonewsday.com/worlds-first-truly-anonymous-crypto-exchange-la unches-on-i2p/ https://bitsquare.io/ http://mercuryex.com/ One could also add into that, because of its characteristics, openbazaar, which can be used for almost anything: https://openbazaar.org/ But before these came to be there were others: http://www.cloakcoin.com/ ~ providing OneMarket - as shown at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=637704.0 BitXBay https://github.com/bitxbay/BitXBay http://willmartin.com/the-worlds-first-documented-sale-on-a-decentralize d-online-marketplace-my-book/ NightTrader http://nighttrader.org/ “an encrypted messaging system which creates a totally new system of client networks, which allows them to communicate without the use of centralized servers,” and presents by way of its Market tab, “a decentralized exchange/trading floor implemented in all Halo clients (BlackHalo and BitHalo). BlackHalo http://blackhalo.info/ “a smart contracting client which eliminates the middle man, or the trust you have to put in total stranger when doing transactions,” which presents the option of “micro-trading,” intended to “allow…parties to structure their trust in increments,” with other features. I am certain this is just a partial list of decentralized, distributed exchanges or markets. On 08/05/2015 10:08 AM, Seth wrote:

Not quite the first that looks like a typical 'exchange', but the most substantial by far. This one's been known widely for 2mo and spoken for a year. And markets and boards exist in the past and present. It's necessarily closed system, and unnecessarily centralized. Have fun.
Only decentralized exchanges I have found so far are https://bitsquare.io/ and http://mercuryex.com/. To the best of my knowledge neither utilize an onion or garlic routing network to connect nodes.
Agree that 'necessarily closed system, and unnecessarily centralized' are undesirable traits of ExchangeD.i2p.
Ideal would be decentralized exchange platforms such as the Bitsquare are Mercury running using I2P as network transport.
