This exchange is useless if it cannot be accessed.
Since this exchange aims to be entirely decentralized, there should not be a central server hosting EthExchange. Then how are users going to be able to get the client side files for it? Almost every webpage is hosted on a server. Almost.
I discovered this interesting protocol called IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) which allows files (and webpages to be hosted in a decentralized way, on a peer-to-peer network. More info about IPFS on their site: https://ipfs.io/. Anyway, I am hosting EthExchange there. I will post more when it is properly hosted - it takes some time for a file to propagate across the network.
When propagated, EthExchange will be available here.
So that's super cool - I just made a decentralized Ethereum exchange! It works too (although there isn't much there yet... YET)
A programming "whoops": using parseInt instead of parseDouble
I was trying to trade fractions of tokens on EthExchange, but my transactions indicated that I had requested to buy exactly zero tokens. Long story short, I used the wrong parse function. Whoops! Fixed now, latest code is on the repo.
[A quick note about EthX market cap indications: they are wrong. Another thing for me to fix.]

It seems to be interesting stuff but I do not understand it completely. I even read technical analysis at https://primexbt.com/blog/what-is-technical-analysis/ but still can't understand how could you make decentralized Ethereum exchange. It would be interesting to read more about that.
Are you sure? yes | no
