BitShares 101 is now on youtube.. (mostly)

[bitmarket]

In the 4th video "How do bitAssets like bitUSD work?"  @ time: 8:00  you mention DPoS  and a prior video describing it.   In this video series I don't recall a prior DPoS explanation video.  Perhaps your referencing some other video outside the series?  If so maybe add a clickable link to that video or  insert the missing video into the series.

I've only watch the series twice now so I may have missed the DPoS explanation.

Great work by the way.   +5%

You are correct.  DPOS will actually come later in the series and the and the proper vid 4, instead of this place holder reflects that fact.

Hi Max. Thanks for the videos!

I would like to suggest a video to be created on how to strategically take advantage shorting bitassets, to try an grow your investments.

Specifically, I mean, make your own video explaining how derivative contracts work with Bitshares, like the video that already exists on the Bitshares.tv website (http://bitshares.tv/how-do-derivative-contracts-work/), but a video that throughly walks through the math and logic needed to understand how to take and advantage of shorting a bit asset, then effectively covering your short to grow your investment.

So a walk through using the Bitshares client, rather than a whiteboard presentation, would be really appreciated. Talk extra slowly for those of us who barely grasp this concept of derivatives.

I would suggest doing a video on how to strategically short bitassets such as bitgold, bitsilver, BitBTC, because they have large swings in price. Use language like "if I think the price of silver is going to down or up, relative to the price of X right now, then it makes sense to short." Then add the caveats about covering your short, and how all that works. Perhaps show how you effectively shorted a bitasset using the Bitshares client one day, then came back to the Bitshares client another day to cover your position, and show how you effectively grew your investment.

Then do a separate video on the local currencies, such as BitUSD and others, and how to take advantage of shorting them. As perhaps even greater challenge take a smaller currency like the Canadian dollar, that has very small supply, and show how to effectively short it to grow the BitCAD supply.

YouTube now has the ability to add links on the mobile client. I would suggest adding links at the end of the video for mobile viewers.

Can you be more specific please.  I am not quite following

At the the end of the video when you click here (somewhere on the video) to continue, the links do no show when viewing on a phone or tablet. YouTube added a feature where those links would be active on phone. I'm not sure if it availaible for everyone or still in beta for a few.

Ah ok.  I will put the links i the description as a back up for now.  If you figure out what it is called or an find a video explaining let me know.  Thanks.

To all those concerned about quality, it's an encoding issue, Max made some quick edits to remove some stuff that was no longer relevant and in the process re-encoded the files. I'll be updating my originals with the changes he wants and we'll upload those versions instead which will be of a much better quality.

i like it.  +5%
but pls use a better camera
360p isn't enough these days

+5% Maybe just an encoding error? I'm pretty sure you had better quality in previous videos.

Defo encoding error.   And mostly because I lost my editor and I had to do the final edits.  I don't have the software to do it right, but it was driving me insane not getting these videos up faster.   Hopefully if Edilliam has the bandwidth he can make them final touches and replace them.
