Karsha got a .onion address


Hey! Long time no see!

Just wanted to let you know that Karsha is now accessible via its new .onion address:

karsha7m2t73h7tz2p6ttu3mstmg5m4hp6t44wjhbsscfgelp6jxajad.onion

(You need to open the link with Tor Browser)

Karsha respects your privacy and anonymity. We don't ask for any identification or any extra information, and we only request for the information required to process your orders.

Tor users were always welcome to use Karsha, and we didn't block requests coming from Tor, nor put any limitation on them. Now, with our new .onion address, Tor users directly connect to Karsha inside Tor and can access our website within the Tor network, without any of the transferred data leaving the secure and privacy-oriented Tor network. This helps to better keep your privacy and anonymity, and it also makes using Karsha faster, more secure, and more reliable.

Happy browsing!

January 2019 Update


What did we do?

  • Our total number of supported coins and tokens just reached 440.
  • We now provide wider minimum and maximum exchange size for all systems.
  • Our exchange rate also got better for most of the systems.
  • We have optimized our website and Telegram bot to respond much faster.
  • Karsha Blog has been started which would let us post better contents and news updates.
  • We managed to partially resolve the "Receive Amount" getting outside of the border on our homepage. Man, that was ugly!
  • We have introduced our new support portal. Tickets are automatically created for every request sent to our email, Facebook page, Twitter account, or the customer support web portal and they will be processed much faster and more organized.

Going forward

  • We are preparing our Slack and Discord channels as a way to communicate better with our customers and business partners.
  • The extra unuseful digits from the "Receive Amount" will be trimmed to get a nicer and more useful display.

Long term plans

  • We are working on the send.as payment gateway and it will hopefully be ready in a few months.


Congratulations to BitCoin One for successfully launching their blockchain. They're not just an Ethereum token anymore, but an independent blockchain and cryptocurrency. Well done, BitCoin One!

Karsha Promotional URLs


You can now use special URLs in the Karsha Exchange website to set default values on our exchange page. This feature can be used to promote a coin, or to speed up ordering exchanges.

The URL format is like this:

https://karsha.biz/-FromSys[=Amount]/+ToSys[:Wallet]

You can change the order of these parameters or omit some of them. FromSys and ToSys would be set as the default source and destination systems. You can use a system's name, its symbol, or any of its common names. The values are case-insensitive and any space or hypen character in them would get ignored.

For example, any of these URLs would set the default destination system to "Bitcoin Cash":

https://karsha.biz/+BCH
https://karsha.biz/+bCh
https://karsha.biz/+bch
https://karsha.biz/+Bcash
https://karsha.biz/+B-cAsh
https://karsha.biz/+BitcoinCash
https://karsha.biz/+bitcoin-cash
https://karsha.biz/+bItcoiN CasH

More examples:

https://karsha.biz/-XMR=1.2/+Ethereum
This would set the default source system to "Monero", the default exchange amount to "1.2", and the default destination system to "Ethereum".

https://karsha.biz/+ZeC:t1LpSypZA76hPzgXxJbJwgDaG37VsVAxxEN
This would set the default destination system to "Zcash", and the default destination wallet to "t1LpSypZA76hPzgXxJbJwgDaG37VsVAxxEN".

https://karsha.biz/-LitE coin=0.5
This would set the default source system to "Litecoin", and the default exchange amount to "0.5".

List Your Coin/Token on Karsha


You can list your Coin (cryptocurrency) or your Ethereum Token (ERC20/ERC223/ERC777) on Karsha Exchange. Your customers would be able to use our whole set of accepted cryptocurrencies and e-currency systems to buy and sell your coin/token.



1. Listing a token on Karsha

If you are doing an ICO, or you want to list your ERC20 token, we recommend you use our FREE full-featured and fully automated Token & ICO subsystem
It has many useful features and it's completely FREE! You can enable buy, sell, or full two-way trading, and even define a dynamic price for your token.
You may use the paid listing if you want your token to have a customized icon, for its symbol to get registered, recognized, and connected to your contract address, to be available directly on our homepage, and to be available through our Telegram bot.

Prerequisites

  • The token must not have bad reputation.
  • There must be enough evidence that the symbol belongs to your token and it doesn't belong to a more popular coin or token.

How much does it cost?

The listing fee is currently $500. It's non-refundable, and may be paid in any of the popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, Dash, etc.

There are also other advertising methods available at Karsha which you can use for a nominal price to promote your token. This includes putting your banner on our homepage, promoting your token on our blog and social networks, setting the default exchange direction to/from your token, etc. If you want to use any of our promotional plans too, please let us know in your listing request.

How to apply?

Please first make sure that you've carefully read this guide, then register your token information at karsha.biz/token/register and activate it, then send us the following information:

  • The ID of your token registration,
  • The icon of your token (if you have one) as a background-transparent PNG file,
  • Any useful link and extra information to help us review your token.

We will review your listing request and if it was accepted, we will send you our wallet address to pay the listing fee. The listing procedure usually takes 2-3 days.



2. Listing a coin on Karsha

Prerequisites

  • The coin must not have bad reputation.
  • The coin must have a reliable source for its price, preferably on CoinMarketCap.com.
  • The coin admins need to run their daemon on their own server, and give us access to its RPC over SSL. We can help you setup the daemon, or we can run the daemon on our own servers if you're willing to pay a nominal fee for server setup, rent, and maintenance costs. Alternatively, you can give us access via other reliable API services like Electrum or web-based API's. The API needs to support generating new addresses, listing transactions, and submitting new transactions.

How does it work?

You will give us the initial exchange supply in your own coin, and optionally in Ether (ETH). We would create a special Ethereum wallet for your coin, which would be used as the intermediate wallet for processing exchange orders to/from your coin. You can check the wallet balance and view incoming and outgoing transactions at any time, to see the live status of processing orders, and to make sure that everything is working as intended.

As mentioned, you only need to invest in your own coin. We would also create an empty Ethereum wallet for you. This way, at the beginning, only exchanging "to" your coin would be available on our website. Customers would be able to exchange any coin we support to your coin. We would first convert their coin to ETH on the fly (if needed), transfer the amount to the Ethereum wallet which was created for your coin, and then send your coin to their wallet. Please note that all of these operations are running in the background and customers wouldn't even notice them.

After we gathered some amounts of ETH in exchange of selling your coin, exchanging "from" your coin to any other coin/token we support would also be available. When a customer registers an order to sell your coin, he first sends us your coin, and we would convert the equal amount from your Ethereum wallet to the customer's desired coin/token. If you are listing a one-way coin, you can ask us to not enable exchanges "from" your coin at all, even after we had enough ETH supply for that. You can initially give us ETH supply too. This way, both exchange directions to and from your coin would be available from the very beginning. This would give your coin a better chance of being sold. Since most of the customers check to see if the reverse exchanges are also available and if the rates are good, and they check the maximum amount of your coin they would be able to sell, before placing an exchange order to buy your coin.

Deposits, withdrawals, and profits

  • In order to increase the exchange supply, you can simply deposit more of your coins or more ETH to the exchange wallets of your listing.
  • To withdraw some of your exchange supply, you'd need to contact us and we'd manually process your request as soon as possible.
  • You are the sole owner of the whole exchange supply available in both wallets (your coin and ETH), so you may request to withdraw your whole exchange supply. But if nothing (or close-to-nothing) remains in your supply wallets, we'd have to unlist your coin, since we wouldn't have any supply to provide exchange service to your customers.
  • We will give you up to 50% of the exchange fees we deduct from exchange orders to/from your coin, based on how many customers you'd refer to our website and your monthly exchange volume.
  • When your coin got listed, you will receive information to access our investors portal, where you can see some statistics about exchange orders to/from your coin, the exchange fees, and your share of the exchange fees as your profit. You can easily click on the "Withdraw" button at any time, and your profit will be instantly transferred to your wallet.

Exchange fee

The exchange rates are calculated dynamically and automatically by our proprietary exchange software. It depends on many factors such as our supplies, the market volatility, the market direction, the ratio of buy orders to sell orders, and some other factors. The exchange fee is usually around 1%, but it may change from time to time.

How much does it cost?

The listing fee is currently $500. It's non-refundable, and may be paid in any of the popular cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, Litecoin, Dash, etc.

There are also other advertising methods available at Karsha which you can use for a nominal price to promote your coin. This includes putting your banner on our homepage, promoting your coin on our blog and social networks, setting the default exchange direction to/from your coin, etc. If you want to use any of our promotional plans too, please let us know in your listing request.

How to apply?

Please contact us and send us information about your coin. We would review your request and we'd respond within 24 hours. After negotiating the terms and conditions, receiving the listing fee and the exchange supply, and preparing the daemon server or the API, your coin would get listed on our next website software upgrade, usually within a few days.
Thank you, and good luck in reaching your business goals. We are right by your side in this path, and we'd do everything we can to help you.

Karsha is Not Backing SegWit2X


If you were following recent news, specially from the official website of Bitcoin (bitcoin.org), you may have noticed the recent events about SegWit2X. Apparently, many of the big corporations which were founded around Bitcoin, including many exchanges, wallets, service providers, etc, had signed an agreement to fork the base code of Bitcoin Core (the reference codebase of Bitcoin), and implement SegWit2X. You can easily find more information about SegWit2X, and how it'd impact Bitcoin, by a little research on Google. The problem is that the Bitcoin core development team and most of the Bitcoin regular users do not agree with that.

We, standing beside regular Bitcoin users (who power Bitcoin in the first place), are against SegWit2X. We won't back the decision, and we will continue to exchange what is accepted by Bitcoin.org website as Bitcoin and BTC.

You can also find our name at NoB2X.org.
