Tradeogre is a centralised exchange, but from a user point of view that is not a big issue as long as you can trade BTC for Grin and vise versa. ---

This is definitely a worthy project to fund in my opinion. ---

What if there was an open source grin exchange platform similar to an early version of shapeshift? Then it could be integrated into Grin++ and IronBelly for easy swaps between BTC and GRIN. Sure, it’d be nice if there was no custody involved, but current exchanges are custody based. At least with this “grinshift” idea, we’d have an accessible way to exchange GRIN and it could be community run. ---

One idea would be to start our own liquidity apart from known exchanges like Binance. ---

TradeOgre is good exchange but people are lazy or dont want hold coins on small exchange ,so even if we build somethings new people will dont use it everyone are lazy buy coins on other exchange that already dont use . and Grin cant work like uniswap ---

Right. Suppose we just wait until larger exchanges finish supporting withdraw and deposit. When it’s available on Binance and Coinbase, we may see a lot more market activity. The only question is, what are these exchanges waiting for? ---

New idea: A place where you can short Grin (borrow Grin to sell). Good idea; or is this already available? EDIT: The idea would drive price way down, which would be good for the community because now we have cheaper grin to start stacking. Price discovery would act quicker, maybe? ---

I wonder if Grin lending could be implemented at the protocol level? Alice lends 100 GRIN to Bob while Bob puts up 100 GRIN as collateral. Bob is able to spend the loan until the loan’s term has expired. After the loan’s term, if Bob hasn’t paid back the 100 GRIN + interest, the collateral is given to Alice. ---

Just an Idea of trustles decentralized peer2peer online Poker. Could the Grin protocol be used for it with payment-channels? If so, that could maybe demonstrate how grin-protocol is more efficient and scaleable than any other blockchain today. ---

I want GRIN used in the new wave of decentralized social media. I’m talking about the Fediverse (a social network made up of thousands of independent social media sites). I’m not exactly sure at first thought how to implement this or on what level it could be used for but I’m working on that. btw for those interested in decen. social media a great video to watch to get a basic idea of the Fediverse is [Fixing Social Media for Good](https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/oOiCACmjKBM) posted by Luke Smith on Jan 13/2021 [Previous page](https://forum.grin.mw/t/grin-community-projects-brainstorm-kickstart-funding-available/8466.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forum.grin.mw/t/grin-community-projects-brainstorm-kickstart-funding-available/8466.md?page=3)
