Nash FAQ / Anti-FUD article

Here is one I saw on reddit: How can we be sure that Nash is running the protocol shown on their GitLab?

A user wanted to verify the integrity of Nash since Nash is the one that generates the keys for you. I guess they also wanted to verify the version?

Someone said this on Reddit: At that point, even with the 0% maker fee, a $1000 purchase would incur probably more fees than coinbase pro.

They said this because of the amount of money/eth or whatever it takes to send funds from personal wallet to trading contract. This feels like an easy one to debunk.

They asked: Is this expected? In the future will Nash be more efficient with fees? Or will this be how it is for the foreseeable future?

I responded there as best I could.

“How do I know that the code running on nash.io is the open-source code published on Gitlab?”

I’ve got more of a suggestion than question here Chris.

Having an About section within the dropdown menu at the top right of the exchange webpage would be great to showcase Version numbers. Clicking About would open a small tile with the needed Version numbers and a simple check to ensure it is provably verified.

ie. (example numbers)
Server Version: 2.1.3+2020-05-14 (Gitlab)
Client Version: 2.1.3+2020-05-14
Blue Check Mark to visually indicate Server Version = Client Version (Blue to match the exchange UI/theme)
Any other miscellaneous information (legal)

If possible, embedding a hyperlink within the Blue Check Mark would take the customer to the Provably Fair Mechanism used to verify the version numbers, so those who want to take a deep dive into the code have the option to do so and others who would like their peace of mind reinforced with a Blue Check mark have that as well.

Lastly if the Blue Checkmark could also be placed in the UI in a persistent location at the top similar to the lock before your URL in Chrome would be best practise. Clicking on the Blue Check mark from the main UI would open the About Tile with more information.

Blue Checkmark, Blue Checkmark, Blue Checkmark

Thanks :slight_smile:

Here is a fun FUD attempt from reddit.

“that volume on Nash is 100% organic fake - nobody comes one day to sell/buy $750k of BTC on iliquid exchange and leave”

and this is just the beginning, definitely “envy is better awakened than felt”, we are already consolidating ourselves and we will be the best of the best, let’s take that for granted.
NASH is technology, creativity and development at the forefront and others already know it, as a saying in the country where I live says:
“LET’S GO FORWARD”

that isn’t fud. if you look at the depth of all order books it is more than clear that most, if not all of the volume comes from nash’s partners. at present, this isn’t something we should be worrying about. it would be nice if the team could comment on this though.

Those in blockchain space for few years know nash team very well. How to get a trust score for nash team and project so new users can gain confidence. Twitter also does not certify these days any new users/company.

Sure they are from trading partners maybe, but that is not what he is saying. In his statement he is basically saying all the volume on Nash is fake since people just don’t make large volume trades then leave, but that is not the case here. These are real trades that are happening from users of the platform, it isn’t fake volume.

We’ll leave this thread open over the weekend in case there are any more ideas. Thanks for you input so far!

As i stated before in a other thread, nash needs the general opinion from crypto users/traders to change.
Dex’s are known to be slow, crappy in user experience and without liquidity.
Nash solves this, but who cares? Unfortunately no one, as people easily shove Nash away simply because it fits under the DEX category and other dex’s ruined our reputation.
(and yes, nash is non-custodial not a 100% DEX, but this falls under the same category for these people)

I’m of opinion that this is the primary problem of the space we need to address as team and as community.

oh and some dex swap services also solve liquidity, but swaps are not really a full exchange experience. even though they can be good, have their own use cases.

I feel the article should push/challenge people to try Nash, to be full of confidence from the Nash team in how Nash will change the crypto exchange landscape.

(couldn’t edit my above post anymore so sorry for the double post)

The most reasonable fud i’ve seen Was about the nature of the exchange volume.

It was said that this volume was made by the nash itself, not real active users.

Some user stats can disprove it. But i’m not sure that it’s not true.

Those are market makers but people who don’t understand talks rubbish things

I agree, the emphasis should not be DEX. This article should emphasize where Nash is positioned in regard to other crypto companies. Nash is a Robust, secure, legal tool to participate and invest in the blockchainspace because it leverages all the benefits of the blockchain. then explain why (no custodial, provable fair, legal security, legal dividends, no shady taxhavens.)

I think fees can be an easy target for confusion and fud. It would be nice to have a clear infographic/article explaining this. Something like this:

Most people don’t understand this right off the bat.

Also, the question of fees from transactions to a state channel being more expensive should also be tackled.

(By the way, I’m still feeling like we should hide the fees or at least hide the USD equivalent.)

Might be that operational speed is gonna be an FUD target. Offcourse the trading itself is superfast (as a CEX) ,Is the transfer of funds into the trading contracts and back superfast (microseconds) as well? If not this can easily be explained as a positive feature. (We trade a bit of speed for much more safety.)

Also communication --> "what is the opinion/position of Nash? with the recent TRON Scam and Binance reaction you will have to deal with projects that fail, get hacked, change coin supply or rules. How are you gonna deal with these things in a “decentralized exchange”? simply delist them? Who’s gonna decide? is there a centralized company controlling the decentralized exchange? Who will be the spokesman/woman?
