TOPIC: Announcing Token Swapmeet!

Braxton wrote: Matthew Hayward, wow

Uh... I'll add all of this to my to-do list, but no guarantees on how soon i can get to them.

Of these I think assigning a value (GP would be good) is probably most important, at least personally. That would help people formulate trades a lot better.

Yeah, I can see the utility. I'm just having trouble seeing how it would work from a UX perspective. Is there a default value I should assign to tokens? Or do users have to assign values for every token?

I'm open to adding this, just need more details.

Basically, you have the user put a "point value" on each card, or whatever cards they are interested in. We could denominate points in GP, although this might be confusing as there are actually GP in TD. Call them Swapmeet Tokens.

Then, you can on the back end "automatch" people with near trade values (~+/- 10%?).

You can also allow people to search and see the point values themselves if they want to reach out and propose your X for my Y and Z and I'll throw in $80 bucks.

I did something like this in a limited way here:

At least for high end stuff, the app shows me a lot of bad matches like Have: 2 2019 monster bits, Want: ISSN.

Personally I would like to set my prices in TD GP. Or in USD something that is a real value we can generally agree on.

USD is probably better.

Does anyone have a 5.5" iPhone with the app running, and can you send me a few screenshots? Apple is being sort of ridiculous about getting the next version present in the App Store.

Please email me screenshots at braxtont at gmail dot com

For clarity, I need someone with "(iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus)" to do this.

I have an 8 plus. I'll try to install and test tonight

iPhone 8plus

Thanks Wayne!

Thought I would update - I've arranged at least one trade on the app, and had around 5 good discussions - so that's great.

I would say, at least for me the good discussions that haven't led to trades are based of different perspectives in the value of tokens - putting a point / dollar value on tokens in the app would help curtail some tail chasing.

Thanks for the feedback!

I havent ruled out the value specification, just been busy with some other things. I’ll see what I can get done before gencon.
