I want to copy the code of the openledger and build on it. How do I do it?
Hi guys,
I want to start building things on bitshares network. I would like to essentially copy the openledger platform and build my own market on it. How do I do this? What do you reccommend I can do?
- What programming software do I need?
- Where can I just copy and paste the openledger code?
- How do I integrate openledger type platform on Graphene?
- What are some good resources for working with Graphene Blockchain?

Follow this instructions to host webwallet at localhost.
If you succeed (you should, it's easy) edit some localfiles at your machine to customize gui. Just to check what's going on.
I recommend go to graphene-ui/web/app/assets/stylesheets/themes/_ol-dark-theme.scss and change some colors.
But this is only for start - you'll need some webdev badasses (javascript, css) to make nicer service.
What Openledger do is:
They are hosting web wallet at own server - this fails when load is bigger than usual.
Providing api server.
Serve as gateway ( for example you send them 1 BTC , they are issuing UIA OPEN.BTC as a proof of your deposit and take fees from all OPEN.BTC trades.
What i know, they're cooperating with Blocktrades to operate wallets - this works very nice so far.
This is all you need to run your own exchange. You don't care all that users database and trading engine stuff - blockchain take care of it.
But still you must secure users deposits and provide fast and decent servers to beat them.
I guess you'll need bunch of money (also for lawyers) and other competitors are way ahead, but if you manage to do it better then i love you :).
To learn more go to testnet.bitshares.eu and try to issue your own asset.
My understanding of Bitshares may be not accurate, actually I'm sure i don't know a lot of stuff, but i think this is enough info for beginner.
Thanks for good and wide clarification. Do you have any other posts on the gateway/bridge topic? I run my own chain based on graphene sources and trying to get some BTC behind my core asset to make worker proposals some value :)
Bitshares itself is an exchange, Openledger is just a gateway using Bitshares. You may contact Ronny--- the CEO of CCEDK to get more details.
