The alpha version of the #mbank project
https://bip.dev
Here you can buy/sell BIP and custom coins for BTC.
Functionality:
– Deals are automated, and all participants are guaranteed to receive the funds;
– There are no commission fees, neither with Bitcoin nor with Minter-based coins. The exchange operation itself also comes free of charge;
– The price is fixed at the moment you send Bitcoin. Even if a transaction takes 24 hours to complete and the price changes during this period, a buyer gets no less than anticipated;
– Any user can place a sell order of any volume* and at any price per unit. This applies to all coins issued in the Minter network;
– For each order, a unique link is generated. One can use it to buy a specified volume at a specified price per unit from a specific seller;
– The link will be useful for Projects as they will be able to put it on their websites, in apps or bots;
– You cannot cancel your order. If coins are not sold in seven days, however, they will be returned to your address. Again, at no additional cost;
– If the price you have set falls within the current range indicated on the homepage, buyers will purchase coins that cost less in the first place.
While you all test this alpha version at your own risk, we have already started working on the beta. With it, we intend to enable you to buy BIP with any credit card. We will also add support for major cryptocurrencies, both for selling and buying.
For all of us, this service is experimental, the first in a slew of Liquidity Providers. Once we have put all the features to the test, we will start gradually integrating it into BIP wallets to make all types of conversion available at one place—the one where you exchange Minter-based coins now.
The main feature that we plan to roll out within a month is letting projects sell BIP at the official price. For that, we will implement the price voting mechanism and mechanism for voting for the projects through COIN.
A couple of answers to the most frequently asked questions:
– As of today, one can only buy with Bitcoin;
– In case you are buying via a unique link, you do not have to purchase the whole volume. You can buy any amount, even the one surpassing that specified in the order. The system will match your order with the offer no worse than the actual one or send you an e-mail outlining how you can claim back the BTC that has not been spent;
– You can sell your custom coins at any price; it does not necessarily need to match the rates observed in the Minter network;
– If you save the top-up link, you can add more coins as you sell. This is convenient if you put up the link somewhere for a long time.
Now, the most interesting part for those who made it to the end of this post:
On the website, you see the average price of BIP, which is based on a large number of orders. When you send Bitcoin, the system guarantees that the coins you will get will cost no more than the indicative price. Actually, your Bitcoin will “collect” the cheapest orders first, meaning that eventually, you will receive 10–50% more. That is the price paid by those who deviate greatly from the average price—they create surplus captured by the buyers.
*ATTENTION: transactions containing less than 1,000 BIP do not count in the system and are not returned. Do not send less than 1,000 BIP or the equivalent amount of a custom coin. The price range limit for BIP is $0.01–0.32; for other coins, $0.01–1,000.
