Sure, we want the AGORA to be a free and open marketplace where anyone can share what could be of value for others.
If I can give you my suggestion, I think the best way to do it is to be transparent on how the reward will be distributed, would be for the user that submit more bugs? Or something else? Would the users have access to test coins exchange, for example testXRM with testBTC or something similar? So user don't lose real funds when testing the platform.
BTW, what "semi-decentralized" mean? is it decentralized or not? Usually "decentralized" exchanges are centralized, funny contradiction! So, is the exchange p2p or is like any other exchange playing in the market? What differentiates this from others?
I'm also curious about the escrow, how it works? is it automated or has human interactions and verification processes? What's the fee? Hope the questions are not too naive 😅
Anyway, when creating your post, make sure you advertise the reward pool in BTC amount instead of dollars. If could help, here you can find some guides #942038
Feel free to post anything you want. If you need feedback on your offer, and you like to share a draft before publishing it, feel free to reach out via nostr or 𝕏 DM.
Thank you for your response.
Oh, I have all the answers to your questions in my previous post on the Bitcoin thread.
But anyway, let me answer it here as well to save your time.
1. Rewards details
Rewards will be distributed among the TOP 10 most active users.
We will split the $1,500 in BTC pool among:
- Testers who find real bugs
- Users giving valuable feedback
- Contributors who help shape usability
All rewards will be distributed in BTC after the Beta Test ends. USD values are used only as a reference for calculation purposes.
2. Access to P2P platform
All users will have access to our P2P platform and all tests will be done only on testnet networks with free testnet tokens, so no risk. The next testnet networks will be available for users to test:
- Bitcoin - Testnet v3
- Ethereum - Sepolia testnet
- Solana - Devnet
- Tron - Shasta network
- Monero - Stagenet
Users can find detailed guideline on our GitBook page on how to install testnet wallets from official sources and how to obtain free testnet tokens via faucets.
3. Why Semi-Decentralized?
We call our system semi-decentralized because it merges decentralization with real usability.
- Decentralized Layer: Automated escrow system using blockchain adapters and smart contracts ensures secure, trustless swaps.
- Centralized Layer: User-friendly matchmaking and rate modules make the platform intuitive and smooth for all users.
This balance gives you the security of decentralization and the efficiency of a modern exchange.
4. Escrow mechanism
The core of Bridgoro is a fully automated escrow system:
- Smart contracts handle every swap securely.
- Funds only pass through temporary buffer wallets during active exchanges.
- Even the development team has zero access to those wallets.
In the rare event of a technical issue, a Collector Module can safely recover stuck transactions within 7 days, without ever touching valid swaps. Your funds remain under blockchain-level security at every stage.
5. Transparency of reward distribution
The first phase of the Beta was held on Bitcointalk, where we distributed rewards and then published TX Hashes for transparency purposes. This time will be the same.

Yesterday, we published our post on the AGORA thread. Please check it out and tell us your opinion.
It would be great to get your feedback on that.

That's great, noted and broadcasted!
I think it is really important to differentiate your exchange from others. I noticed someone commenting in you previous thread about marketing it as a way-in to bitcoin.
One way only trades could be a good way to target your service to bitcoiners. That's probably most of the users' mindset around here.
If you don't differentiate your offer, you are just adding a drop in a wab3 crepto market that is already overwhelmed. What I noticed is that people usually don't care about privacy. Here we do!

Howdy,
Thanks a lot! I noticed your tweet about our post and truly appreciate your support. It's great to see how both the Bitcointalk and Stacker communities continue to stand behind innovative projects like ours. We are really glad to be using these two platforms to share progress and connect with people who understand what we are building.
I wanted to ask your opinion from your POV: What do you think could help us stand out from other similar projects?
I'm not asking just for formality. During the first Beta, the Bitcointalk community provided genuine, actionable feedback that helped us refine and strengthen the core of the project. We are keeping that same open approach now and would really value your insights.

As I mentioned above, the fact to be semi-decetralized is probably not a selling point. Most people don't care about privacy and even less about technical details understanding what semi-decentralized mean. Just use P2P exchange.. have a look at how Bisq, Robosats, Mostro and other bitcoin peer to peer exchanges works and market themselve.
You trying to compete with cexes and dexes, an overflowed market, when in the other side you have plenty of people looking for kyc-free ad p2p solutions. I'd avoid the term semi-decentralized, it's just confusing, as well as cex, dex, web3, crypto etc... overused words that today have lost their meaning if not to be related with scams and ponzi schemes.
Hope it helps! Btw, I appreciate your tool being kyc-free and p2p, because I know a lot of people that would use it to exit shitcoin.
