Wall of Coins (WOC) is far more than anOTC exchange, and with Dash it will be...
- The easiest place to buy DASH on the planet, whether you are banked or not, and supporting ALL payment methods: https://cointelegraph.com/news/wall-of-coins-is-like-localbitcoins-except-easy-to-use , https://cointelegraph.com/news/9-ways-to-buy-bitcoin-without-a-bank-account
- PayPal will be supported—receiveDASH for your PayPal, and get DASH with your PayPal.
- The only 100% transparent OTC platform; most secure and hassle-free for sellers. (No really, it is. Just ask!)
- Web Publishers and Dash App developers: monetize your app and earn DASH with the WOC Widget or API.
- DASH's adoption boost platform. Wall of Coins is instrumental for people paying backpage.com, and helped
to save backpage.com's business when the Credit Card blockade first happened. WOC will be instrumental to bring DASH to the common person.

We'll get this one done!
This isn't about volume on our site. If bitcoin users truly cared, they'd just use ShapeShift to get into Dash. It's about usability, and it's about Dash acquiring the CASH users, the bankless users, the users who want to use remote cash, etc.
Please spend some time to think about these opportunities.
These are valuable things to consider.
I believe that should not be, if we as blockchain pay for something, we need to get all rights on what the blockchain payed for.
It's the same like the dashwhale proposale at the beginning which was downvoted because of this. - You are going to create a business which produces income, but you want the blockchain to fund 1/2 of the initial costs, and the blockchain gets nothing from that income ... thats not fair!
The blockchain doesn't get anything from ANY proposals anyways. Does it? Those who benefit are the Dash ecosystem participants themselves, and that is exactly what Wall of Coins was designed to do: boost the ecosystem. No other company is doing this single-handedly.
Thoughts to consider!
We have a ton of experience with this.
WoC has an API (https://wallofcoins.com/en/developer-api). But does it get used?
Can you answer the following questions:
- What are the number of transactions and their volume processed daily for BTC. What has the month-to-month growth been recently?
- How many users does your API have? Can you name some integrations?
So far, I am not convinced this will boost DASH adoption. Also, if WoC is convinced that adding DASH will lead to high usage of their service they would not need budget money for the integration -- the integration would finance itself through the fees.
- Bitcoinity does NOT track all of our global exchanges; Bitcoinity has bugs that inhibits it from capturing all of our volume; Bitcoinity only captures 4 of the countries we support. So basically, you're better off looking directly at our API.
- The great majority of our transactions are small-volume transactions. That's for a few reasons: 1) our platform is not attractive to fraudsters, and 2) our platform will not work with wire transfers until the near future.
- WallofCoins.com API (and our Widget) is currently in use by Backpage.com, Post Share bitcoin wallet, and many others. We've had a number of key integrators join us recently.
- Bitcoin volume--in no way or form--is an accurate way to measure how this will impact Dash. This is especially true because we are not a stagnant company: we have great innovations in development that will be announced as they are released.
- Daily volume on Wall of Coins has grown to $20,000 to $30,000+. This is normalized to USD value regardless of the fiat buyers use with our platform. Likewise, Bitcoin volume depends on the Bitcoin price.
- We've seen 260% month-to-month average over 6 months.
- Our growth is now ~100 users per day. The documents that are linked mention 50-100 new users per day. If you haven't already, read those links... there's a TON of valuable information in there.
Furthermore, Wall of Coins / Genitrust is NOT convinced that adding DASH will lead to high usage of our services. It is literally just myself, as Dash is one of the very few cryptocurrencies I care about, and inspiration from people of the Dash community that have urged me to have Wall of Coins integrate Dash. Dash is still relatively young, and in situations like this it is indeed DASH's volume that gives off the perceived demand, which is at best 0.5%-1% Bitcoin volume. There are KYC/AML issues unique to DASH still, and it doesn't help today that this is currently being fleshed out by Dash.org for the future.
And of course this will boost DASH adoption. No matter who is buying DASH today, they must jump through the Bitcoin loop. How are you going to get people with money to invest in DASH when they can just stop at Bitcoin? How are you going to get people to use DASH (whether they realize they're using DASH or not) when they have to learn how to use multiple services just to do so? Wall of Coins is the only service that can offer the Dash ecosystem such simplicity, and Wall of Coins is the ONLY on-ramp service available today that will help normal people get into cryptocurrency.
Furthermore, Genitrust and Wall of Coins are well-respected in the Bitcoin space, known by many industry leaders. Our formal involvement with Dash will spark and influence their curiosity about adoption Dash for their own services.
Is that not highly valuable for the DASH ecosystem, DASH investors, MNOs, etc? I believe the time is perfect for Dash and Wall of Coins.
I found this article on WoC: http://bitcoinist.net/wall-of-coins-review-good-bitcoin-beginners-so-so-veterans/
My questions:
- Why in this case shall it cost 2000 Ä ? (compared to Bitsquare)
- Is WoC legalized?
- Is there a user statistic available?
- WOC is available in over 10 different countries.
- WOC becomes more decentral as time goes on. You cannot YET have a 100% decentralized service that is easy for everyone to use. Your sights should not be so short on WOC.
- When people suddenly needed to send cash to services like backpage.com, bitsquare was no help. That's because WOC focuses on adoption, and this is what WoC accomplishes. WOC will bring more value to DASH than bitsquare in the short term and long term. Imagine if DASH with Instant Send were on WOC...the crowd of people who need to use remote cash (backpage.com, wikileaks.org, etc) will instantly begin using DASH via the WOC platform--whether they realize they're using DASH or not.
Answers:
- "Why in this case shall it cost 2000 Ä ?" This information is in the proposal: Genitrust, Inc has agreed to start the project if at least $20k is funded. I represent Genitrust as the CEO, and I bring this information to you. This is a HUGE project, as WOC is an adoption platform. I don't expect everyone to understand this, but there's something valuable for the DASH community here that you're going ot want to spend some time focusing on. There is a summary breakdown in the proposal for finances spent. Here's a direct link of the MAXIMUM projected costs and man hours: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s158/sh/ff503bf1-c582-4b06-946f-1e76ec67a444/d73afc416a3164bf309ecda4a6ff868e
- Is WoC legalized? of course.
- Is there a user statistic available? Yes, it is also linked in the proposal.
And finally, thank you for asking Dworf. I hope more people are inspired to read the links....there's important information there.
but I see the opportunity for DASH.
for clarification - you request 2000 Ä ($23,000) one time, right? The proposal suggests that more funding is required.
>> can you give a statement to this:
http://news.dinbits.com/2016/07/scam-alert-shady-websites-targeting.html
("play it safe" ff.)
>> I still do not find the user statistic
For clarification, the 2000 DASH request is to get development of this project started, exactly as stated in this proposal. Integrating DASH and WOC isn't a tiny job. If you haven't already, check out the screen shot of the document that estimates the maximum amount of funds necessary for this project to be completed and into production.
In the proposal, you wrote:
"Genitrust is asking for 2000 DASH toget this project started: an OTC exchange for Dash[...]"
What exactly does it mean? What is going to be delivered within the initial funding of 2000 DASH - the entire solution or just a part of it?
The Dash ecosystem will benefit with all of the future updates for Wall of Coins--many updates are significant for this industry, and they will undoubtedly continue to influence the industry.
