A community governed crypto-currency exchange software.
This software is being developed to accomplish several things. Foremost though, it is an open-source digital assets trading platform (currently in development).
Currently, the software only runs on Testnet servers. No actual Bitcoin or USD is traded. Changing this happens in only 3 lines of code though :).
The community should have more authority on how an exchange that they put their money into should be ran. From associated fees to exchange limits, we finally take this power from corporations -- and puts it back into the community. (planned) Using an Ethereum based voting solution the community will drive the majority of functioning.
While currently only USD and BTC are supported, other coins are in the works. More specifically Litecoin, Ethereum, and Ripple.
Trade digital assets based on binary options.
This is perhaps the most attractive feature planned for this project. To combat fee manipulation, there are hopes to implement a dividends pool which will encourage users to pay higher fees. Dividends will be distrubted amongst a top X % of traders (not based on profit/loss). While associated fees will still be lower than industry price, those fees (mostly) will be contributed to the pool so that it is reinvested into the users which generated income. Instead of fees going to corporations, we should be earning dividends on digital assets invested.
