Striking Twice? Lightning's Joseph Poon Takes On Ethereum Exchange Project
https://media.coindesk.com/uploads/2017/06/poon.png

While the usual drumbeat of cryptocurrency innovation calls for 'banking the unbanked', a startup called Omise actually has the opposite goal: 'unbanking the banked'.

And with the help of Joseph Poon, co-author of bitcoin's Lightening Network white paper, the Thailand-based payment gateway network is building a decentralized exchange based on ethereum to move toward that goal.

The decentralized exchange, which Poon has written another white paper for, is built directly into the company's upcoming proof-of-stake blockchain, OmiseGo. Once it's finished, users will be able to trade fiat currencies for cryptocurrencies, or exchange between almost any cryptocurrencies (say bitcoin for ether) without a third party like Coinbase or Kraken.

Is bitcoin use legal in Thailand now? Or is only bitcoin illegal but everything else is ok?

We need decentralised exhanges to make cryptocurrency a simple 'app'. Looking forward to what Poon can achieve.
