BlockTrades adds support for buying/selling EOS

in #blocktrades6 years ago

BlockTrades (https://blocktrades.us) now supports trading pairs for buying and selling EOS with many of the coins we support, including pairs for trading EOS with SBD and Steem.

EOS is a smart contract platform and is widely viewed as the main competitor to the Ethereum smart contract platform. At the time of this post, it is ranked at #4 on coinmarketcap’s list of cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

The official website for eos is: https://eos.io/
EOS users and reviewers also post fairly regularly on Steem: https://steemit.com/hot/eos

When it comes to adding support for new coins to BlockTrades, EOS has been one of the most requested by our customer base, probably in part due to the fact that EOS development was led by Dan Larimer, who was also the main developer for Steem and BitShares, so there’s a lot of overlap in the community of users between BitShares, Steem, and EOS.

EOS trading on our site is only supported for non-US citizens

EOS tokens were distributed through an initial coin offering (ICO) and US citizens were not eligible to participate in the ICO. For this reason, we are maintaining the same restriction on trading of EOS via our site until there is more regulatory clarity on the status of the EOS token.

In other words, to buy and sell EOS on our site, you must create an account on BlockTrades (if you don’t already have one) and you have to show evidence that you are not a US citizen. For full details on the steps to get authorized to trade EOS, please see our earlier post for the OMG token:

Finally! Thank you very much, blocktrades!

I have to provide ID to buy EOS?

Yes, we haven't come up with another way to ensure you're not a US citizen.

Wait, I only need to provide ID if I want to make transaction involving EOS, right?

Yes, we only require it for EOS and OMG.

Cool, at least I am not being denied from my usual purchases without giving my ID.

makes sense

Aw man, only non US citizen part sucks. Maybe if I ever move I can use it for that. Would love to use you guys for my EOS to STEEM trades.

land of the free? Land of the brave.

Brave enough to pretend to be non U.S. citizen and make the transaction? No, not gonna do that to blocktrades. They are awesome and can't have any chance of them going down cuz of a user who pretends to be non U.S. even though he is.

so stupid, just let us trade eos...dont be a pussy, eos was never illegal in usa....

you cant prove your not american

this made me mad....get over the eos ico already

Nice! Love this.

Why can't I just use a VPN like everyone else. Just kidding I know the US thinks they own the world. Still makes me sad.

Whats the blocktrades labor(the one with the American flag) on your exchange?

It was up there by mistake from when we added the new trading pairs. Thanks for pointing it out, I've removed it now. It was a coin we used to allow people to figure out what rate we would accept when they were paying us in crypto for consulting work, but we discontinued it several years ago.

Ah thx. Happy to have helped.
