Epicenter - Learn about Blockchain, Ethereum, Bitcoin and Distributed Technologies
Exchanges are often criticized as a central point of failure of the cryptocurrency space. This isn’t without justification as, in recent years, we have seen a number of exchanges get hacked, robbed, or embezzled by their founders, which is far from insignificant. One proposed alternative are decentralized exchanges that would allow people make peer-to-peer trades using sophisticated smart contracts. However, there remains the fundamental challenge of interfacing with the legacy banking system. Manfred Karrer joins us for a lengthy discussion on Bitsquare, a decentralized cryptocyrrency exchange which supports most fiat currencies and cryptocurrencies. Built to be a decentralized equivalent of LocalBitcoins, the Bitsquare client, which connects to the peer-to-peer network, uses Tor by default, which makes it almost completely anonymous. There are also a number of safeguards in place to eliminate the potential for fraud and theft, as well as an arbitration system to resolve disputes between traders. Topics covered in this episode: The motivation behind Bitsquare The Bitsquare client and user experience A walkthrough of a typical trade The mechanics of the order book The fiat currency transfer mechanism The current and future arbitration process Manfred’s thoughts on DAOs Bitsquare’s product roadmap Episode links: Bitsquare Website Bitsquare Whitepaper Risk Analysis Arbitration System Github Repo This episode is hosted by Meher Roy and Sébastien Couture.

This is a mivestream discussion with Manfred Karrer. An Austrian software developer who lives in Barcelona, working on Bitsquare since early 2014. When he first heard about Bitcoin early 2011 he fell instantly into the infamous rabbit hole of Bitcoin and thought that Bitcoin is the most important and disruptive innovation since the internet (and still believes that).In the search for becoming active in the Bitcoin field he tried to find a solution for something what most people said it is impossible: A decentralized Bitcoin-Fiat exchange. After a few months of research he started to implement a prototype which has evolved later into a fully functional trading application.More details about his project can be found onhttp://www.bitsquare.io
This episode features two interviews. First, Karl Floersch discusses the underlying structures which shape distributed applications. Karl’s ability to explain the deeper mechanics of software running in the Ethereum environment is unique and discussions with him are always fun, insightful, and visionary. Then we have Manfred Karrer, the creator of Bitsquare. For the uninitiated, Bitsquare is a decentralized fiat to crypto exchange. While it is completely self contained and doesn’t use Ethereum in any way. It’s a standalone DApp and that’s pretty cool. On top of that that we have a comprehensive, decentralized version of local bitcoins now which is extremely newsworthy. Bitsquare is especially interesting because by looking at the challenges Manfred faced throughout its development we can gain an understanding of the need for a unified DApp platform.
