Oh, so it's like https://shapeshift.io/ except subject to the arbitrary and Orwellian US financial regulations! All jokes aside, I'm not knocking Evercoin. It looks beautiful and I welcome anyone and everyone who wants to bring liquidity to crypto markets. I'm just concerned about the sustainability of any platform based in the US. Maybe Evercoin knows something I don't though. I feel like the smartest thing we can d…

Couldn't that stop gold farming / selling? Proof of work (proof of grinding)?
Online games give gold to their users liberally as positive reinforcement for playing the game. That's probably not compatible with a strict minting schedule constrained by a proof of work system.
This seems so wacky to me. Are you guys seriously going to start sending thousands of dollars in currency through some random website with a marketing page and a blog?
You just described 90% of online merchants. ...and you're right, plenty of online merchants rip people off. This is one reason that large trusted merchants dominate the space (overstock, amazon, newegg, etc..). If a shapeshift clone exit scam [0] hasn't happened yet it will happen soon. People should do careful research on these sites before using them, just like people should do research on online merchants. That be…
I am Miko from Evercoin and I'm happy to answer your questions.
The People Behind EverCoin
I'm happy to see people on this board looking at our service with suspicion, this is normal and the community needs to protect itself from scammers. We do show our own faces and linkedin profiles on the front page of our exchange. Yes, it is possible that people are just using the identities of others. We are obviously not so prominent or famous but I do have a number of fairly prominent people in crypto who could vouch for us or who have met us including general partners at Pantera Capital, Jackson Palmer, originator of Dogecoin, Robert CEO of ZenCash, Zooko from Zcash and many others. I know these aren't necessarily the gods of crypto like Vitalik Buterin, but I havent met him so he can't say if I'm a real person or not. I am one of the organizers of the SF Advanced Crypto Asset Trading group and Crypto Underground meetup, so 3500 people in that community know who I am at some level. Anyhow, I welcome the suspicion, I hate scammers as much as anyone and feel like everyone who asks you to "send bitcoin to this address" deserves to be checked out. I've been in Silicon Valley for 25 years working in tech.

Happy to answer any other questions you all may have.
How to start As with any crypto service, start small. Just try a very small transaction to see how the system behaves. It's a fully functional system, so you'll immediately get the feeling of that. And yes, do your homework.

>> except subject to the arbitrary and Orwellian US financial regulations! abiding by those seems to be the only recipe for long term. Otherwise you're talking about living in interesting times. Never know when or how they come for you
In the very long run, I think state funded consumer protection organizations will become obsolete. I only hope we can educate consumers as quickly as we've created the networks. Otherwise, a lot of people will get hurt.
Either way we live in interesting times.
A noble attempt, but without supporting Monero you're not supporting fungibility and privacy. I hope this is an oversight that you'll correct.
High fees, no good coins, bare bones functionality. Why would I use this when there a dozen better products that do this and more?
Sure, let's just hide the fees and not tell users they are getting taken. How about some transparency?

I was originally testing BCC to BTC, so it looks like it depends upon what you are exchanging: Shapeshift: 1 BCC -> 0.06773499 BTC Evercoin: 1 BCC -> 0.06682701 BTC
Maybe someone should build a Kayak for Bitcoin exchanges, that picks the cheapest exchange for each trade...
1) pick the cheapest exchange 2) sell at expensive exchange price 3) add commission 4) add network fees
