Requirements for making a request for adding an Altcoin or token

ManfredKarrer · September 19, 2017, 5:58pm

I have drafted a new document for the requirements for adding new Altcoins or tokens.

bisq-network/docs/blob/master/exchange/howto/list-token.adoc

= How to list a token
:toc:

== Introduction

This document describes the process how to submit a request for adding a new Altcoin or token (we use the general term token in that document) to the currency list in Bisq. Adding a token does not mean any endorsement of the token. For making decisions in case of controversial requests we use the Bisq DAO voting process. The maintainers of the GH repository have the authority to merge or reject the PR based on the formal requirements but not on "political" objections (e.g. consider the token as scam-coin,...).

Please note that Bisq is not implementing technically any token infrastructure (wallet, full nodes, block explorer,...) but only supports that the users can add the token address to a payment account and then during the trade process the users exchange the token address. The process of sending and receiving the token is not part of the Bisq application (traders use their own token wallets).

Already added token which have been traded at least once or which have provided a PR for the address validation will be kept. All other tokens will be removed with the 0.6 release.

This document replaces the process described in the link:https://bisq.community/t/how-to-add-your-favorite-Altcoin/46[Bisq forum].


== Prerequisites

=== Block explorer

There need to be an active block explorer available.

This approach should avoid political discussions and reduce it to a pure formal process. Controversial decisions (like with BCH) will be delegated to DAO voting [1].

Please provide feedback what you think about it.

[1] How we apply Bisq DAO voting will become more clear once Chris has published the document about Bisq DAO phase 0 (soon).

The new requirements seem fair to me. Step 4 and 5 might be easier to follow if they’re reversed in the requirements doc, create the PR, then add stuff to it?

Additionally, would you like me to update PR 916 to make the ZenCash addition request compliant with step three? It shouldn’t take long if I read it correctly, just a new line here right?

ManfredKarrer · September 24, 2017, 11:41pm

Thanks for your feedback. No worry, I added ZenCash already (in my working branch). The rules apply to all new requests.

To learn about the requirements, please read the document above carefully. It is not long and it is very clear and straight forward.

I see you tried to post a link to Github pull request, but you probably couldn’t because of your low trust level on this forum. You can post it again in another post.

6wAotI · October 26, 2017, 7:12pm

Hi, im not sure simple users would like to go through a process to do a git pull etc. The simplest process for users to request adding of a new coin is to give those exact details and make a new thread on this forum for each new coin, and then the devs can accept it and add it.
Please dont make it compulsory for a git pull process. Otherwise people will just keep posting on here like they have been. Its EASIER for non-devs. Please consider people who are non-devs. The document on how to request a coin is not that straight forward.

alexej996 · October 27, 2017, 4:29pm

Most of Bisq users don’t add altcoins. Adding of an altcoin is a feature intended for altcoin developers who should be able to make a simple pull request and read a short document if they are able to create a whole cryptocurrency that actually has some value. Dev resources are very limited for Bisq and there are many more important things for a developer to do then add coins everyday. The fact is that there are way to many altcoins and most of them add no significant value to Bisq. It makes sense for Bisq devs to spend minimal amount of time for new altcoins and spend their time adding many needed features to Bisq. I don’t think Bisq devs will spend time adding new altcoins any time soon if the altcoin is not very popular and requested, in which case there would likely be someone who would make a pull request anyway.

Understandable that there are a lot of shit coins out there… and 90% of them are shit.

I would have liked to request NEO (Antshares) coin. Since this is the next big hit and the majority of bisq users would be China, since its a Chinese startup.

@ManfredKarrer Ive seen that you are planning full Chinese translation of bisq, when that gets perfected, i suspect a lot of chinese trading will go down on bisq from November. If you want the Chinese to get super excited, i suggest you add NEO. Besides the Chinese, im a firm believer that the rest of the population will want to be trading NEO on bisq asap.
Unless its on there and i havent seen it?

Vertcoin is also another big one.

Hope you could add these two atleast.

alexej996 · December 6, 2017, 4:01pm

You should read the requirements first for adding your coin. You don’t send it via email, you should read the document in this topic and it will explain you the entire process.

verifyas · December 17, 2017, 6:41am

I have made a pull request to add our token. Anything else I should do?

alexej996 · December 17, 2017, 12:50pm

As far as I know, no. If you followed the document correctly then and the requirements are fulfilled, then your token will probably be added in the next release.

You need to follow the instructions in the document if you want to add a token. There are too many requests, so we need for submissions to be organized and require minimum work from our developers.

Sergstuddek · January 25, 2018, 3:28pm

Hi. I have extremely important question, What should I do if I am not a developer, but I a believe in this coin, and I want to promote it on your platform?
I have red all requirement but I can give you Info, except pull request
