LocalCoinSwap

Do you know that cryptocurrencies and other digital assets are revolutionising the financial ecosystem? Unfortunately the growth of the cryptocurrency economy has been fraught with friction from the banking system. Hostile regulatory environments and conservative institutions have closed the accounts of traders and exchanges en-masse, spread contention in the media, and forced the implementation of onerous verification procedures which have transgressed the privacy of the community.

The rise of cryptocurrencies has created huge economic and investment opportunities. However, many people remain on the sidelines due to lack of patience or tech-savviness, inefficient and lengthy subscription processes, and security concerns. Opening up trading accounts on exchanges can be an especially difficult task for users. Many exchanges restrict the registration of new accounts or require users to expose themselves to identity fraud and theft by submitting pictures of their passports and personal documents online. Users are regularly asked to transfer funds overseas to companies in countries with no legal oversight.

LocalCoinSwap represents a return to the most fundamental system of asset exchange without reliance on mainstream institutions - the P2P trade. By enabling P2P trading of all digital currencies LocalCoinSwap will put the market back into the hands of its users, allowing them to directly trade any cryptocurrency using any conceivable payment method in any geographical location.

There is currently a gap in the cryptocurrency market creating an unserviced demand. Across community forums and social media sites in which traders participate, it is a common frustration that users are unable to quickly or easily purchase non-mainstream cryptocurrencies. Users also express repeated concerns about overseas banking transfers and onerous verification procedures.

The LocalCoinSwap infrastructure will close this gap in the market, not only by offering a P2P exchange for all cryptocurrencies, but by also tokenizing ownership of the exchange itself into the hands of its users through the world-first Cryptoshare system.

The LCS Cryptoshare system utilises blockchain technology to replicate traditional company ownership through shares in a more secure and decentralised manner. Much like the issuance of regular shares and profits distributed through dividends, LocalCoinSwap issues Cryptoshares which entitle holders to regular redeemable dividend tokens. Unlike a traditional financial organization the ownership and dividend structure of LocalCoinSwap is hosted entirely on the Blockchain, providing a publicly auditable and unforgeable ledger of the company’s financial performance.

LCS Cryptoshares allow all traders on the exchange to take ownership in the platform they are trading on. Despite the straight forward nature of this concept, LocalCoinSwap is the first ever implementation of an exchange where the profits are distributed entirely through a smart contract Cryptoshare system, with the initial launch planned by August 2018.

About the project:

LocalCoinSwap (LCS) is a decentralised marketplace which allows buyers and sellers to trade directly in any cryptocurrency using any method of payment. LocalCoinSwap provides a safe, uncomplicated and fast peer-to-peer (P2P) trading platform, allowing users to freely exchange without unnecessary verification requirements or waiting times. The platform utilises a secure escrow system that solves the inherent trust issues of online P2P trading.

Here is Cryptoshare ICO Issuance:
LCS Cryptoshares are not like traditional ICO tokens. Instead of a vague promise of possible future returns or idealistic visions which may never eventuate into product, Cryptoshares entitle the holders to guaranteed rights to 100% of the total profits from the Localcoinswap exchange through cryptocurrency dividends. Cryptocurrency profits are paid to shareholders in the same cryptocurrencies in which they are made, allowing the investor to receive a regular stream of portfolio income. By holding a single Cryptoshare asset, the investor is entitled to a wide variety of cryptocurrency profits across the entire spectrum of the digital economy. Cryptoshare holders are also entitled to receive airdrops of new tokens when ICO’s are listed on the LocalCoinSwap platform. In addition, LCS Cryptoshares entitle the holder to voting rights in the platform’s decisionmaking process, such as the listing of new tokens on the exchange, the direction of new business ventures and design considerations or functionalities for the platform. Cryptoshares in LocalCoinSwap are more than just a stream of dividends, by investing you become an integral part of the future of the exchange itself.

The protocol behind the LCS Cryptoshare, dividend distribution and voting token is provably achievable with existing technology and does not require any fundamental advances in Blockchain technology to implement. The development focus of the Cryptoshare is on the direct utility it provides for the user rather than aiming to be disruptive technology. At the end of each financial period, profits for all cryptocurrencies are calculated and published publicly before being distributed back to LCS Cryptoshare holders. A dashboard is available on the LocalCoinSwap platform detailing the dates, amounts and distribution details for the current period. To claim dividends such as ETH, BTC, BCH, DASH, ETC, or Monero, the holders of LCS Cryptoshares are automatically entitled to claim ERC20 dividend tokens on a 1-to-1 basis according to their holdings of Cryptoshares. After claiming the dividend tokens, holders can use the token to sign a message containing their wallet addresses for the currencies they wish to claim. They then broadcast the message and dividend tokens back to LocalCoinSwap’s decentralised contract address, at which point the dividend currencies are transmitted automatically to their respective wallets. Alternatively, the dividend tokens can be redeemed directly into the wallet balances of user accounts on the LocalCoinSwap platform. Because of this, there is no obligation to redeem the cryptocurrency portfolio income into the private wallets of LCS holders, and users may instead hold on to their dividend tokens, choose to redeem their funds at a later date, or even liquidate the token through an off-market sale. LCS dividend tokens can thus act as a placeholder for an entire cryptocurrency portfolio, without forcing the user to deal with the process of setting up multiple cryptocurrency wallets. LocalCoinSwap was started by a team of qualified cryptocurrency experts and enthusiasts frustrated by their inability to quickly or easily buy and sell new digital assets. While plenty of mechanisms exist to purchase cryptocurrencies with other cryptocurrencies, there is little support for those who wish to enter the market with fiat currency and quickly purchase using a variety of traditional payment methods. The idea for LocalCoinSwap was born from our own needs and wants.
