Have been learning a bunch from the first version of this order book, thanks @harrym for all your feedback and directions; there's still a lot to do. I built it with the aim to offer a better way to trade Cowboy Credits without eating the full 30% sybil fee haircut. So here's a second iteration, a simple order book where you can post bids and asks yourself for free (no one sat or CC asked) or simply see the current effective market values of 1 CC in sats.
No login needed to browse. All data lives in a public GitHub Gist. Community maintained.
The Problem
Right now if you want to liquidate CCs, you're stuck with:
- Zapping someone and hoping they send sats back (trust required)
- Eating 30% sybil fees when using CCs on SN
- Posting in random threads hoping someone sees your offer
- No price discovery, no order book, no market
Meanwhile, buyers who want CCs are paying the full 1.3 sats per CC rate when they could get them cheaper from stackers who want out. Territory founders have it slightly better (21% rebate) but there's still no organized marketplace.
What I Built
An order book that shows (if we start using it):
- Live bids and asks - See who's buying/selling, at what price, how much volume
- Market depth chart - Visual representation of liquidity at each price level
- KPIs - Best bid, best ask, mid price, spread
- Smart inputs - Enter CCs or sats, the other calculates automatically. Enter any 2 of 3 fields (price/volume/total) and the third appears.
- Contact linking - Usernames link to SN profiles, npubs link to njump.me
Everything's open source. Fork it, audit it, improve it.
How to Use It
Just browsing? Go to the link. That's it. No setup, no account, no wallet connection bs.
Find an order you like? Contact the stacker. Work out the details. Trade via SN zaps/DMs/whatever you want. This order book is just for price discovery. The actual swap is between you and your counterparty, P2P.
The order book shows WHO wants WHAT at WHAT PRICE. That's it. The trade itself is on you. Either:
- Comment here with your order (I'll add it manually), or
- Use GitHub (get a GH token, paste it in settings, submit your offer directly). This will allow you to also delete offers; click with caution as actions are not reversible.
Format:
BUY/SELL
Price: X sat/CC
Volume: Y CCs
Volume: Z sats
Contact: @yournym or nostr npub
Notes: whatever matters (territory founder status, fees included, link to SN, etc)
Current Market
Seeing bids around 0.70-0.82 sats/CC, asks around 0.85-0.95. As mentioned above, territory founders can offer the best rate due to the 21% rebate for anything zapped in their territories. If you're not a founder, factor the full 30% hit into your pricing. If you are selling CCs, contact a territory founder you trust. Spread is wild wide right now (new market - 0.5) but, from what I learned, it should tighten as liquidity grows.
For the memorandum, here the current trades:
| 📗 Buy Orders (Bids) | 📕 Sell Orders (Asks) |

What's Next
Ideas I'm considering:
- Auto-match when bid meets ask
- Order history / completed trades log
- Reputation/rating system
- Territory-specific order books
- Optional escrow service for larger trades
What would you want? Fork it and build it, or tell me what to prioritize.
