To everyone complaining about the current BTS price...

Thank You!

Isn't it already obvious? They are pooling their money and hiring a new Marketing Director. 

That could not possibly have been more prescient.
Would you happen to know of anyone interested in the job?

That's the most pressing post you decided to respond to? ... with your 20h work days and all.

Did I miss something?  And yes it was the first thing I noticed that seemed relevant.  We need someone in marketing so I can spend more time coding, less time yapping.  I haven't seen any actual questions posed to me though, so I fail to see where I need to respond.  Possibly I shouldn't be handling marketing.

Also, not my first post of the day.

Sorry so short but the explanation for tardiness is included in link. 
Also when I ask to refrain from questions in that link I really meant to say, please don't expect an answer to any questions until Monday.  Just couldn't think of a way to turn the phrase given the context of the sentence.  You may in fact ask away in there.  I probably won't be able to check this particular thread for awhile.

If there isn't an official announce ready to roll by the 17th, I'll be back here running my own yap and just deal with any fallout.

I would expect a number of these type of announcements over the next two years... quartals

[oldman]

The cynicism is strong in this community!

Bitshares is a potentially revolutionary platform that has yet to take its first steps into the world. It hasn't even left the womb yet.

But folks are noticing.

Market cap in a thinly traded and immature market such as this is meaningless.

I would expect a number of these type of announcements over the next two years...

the bug still there waiting for next fix release .
but the situation that enabled the bug has been mitigated . Huge volume on the BitUSD:BTS market today ...

I bought a bunch of BTS by dumping a bunch of BTC & NXT etc over at BTER this morning, moved it to my wallet to buy bitUSD.  Is there a fix somewhere, because my orders are still not executing.

Thanks!

bitUSD/BTS market is working just fine right now, all the cover orders that were causing the bug and making the market stuck have been cleared up. Same goes for bitBTC/BTS market.

Yeah, thanks for that.  I say the orders go through about 10 mins after I posted my last message.
Awesome and glad to see it working.

If there isn't an official announce ready to roll by the 17th, I'll be back here running my own yap and just deal with any fallout.

If it is not safe to open up about it early on, then please consider keeping a lid on it until such a time when it is safe to do so.  I would prefer noone have to deal with "fallout"

It's relative.  Fallout here would be more along the lines of "Hey look we are going to offer x,y & z!" then finding out there was some legal or technical reason why despite having x, or y we couldn't do z.

Here is a real example and as CIO I can actually discuss this bit.

An absolutely crucial component of our business model relies on the ability to buy & sell bitUSD & other bitassets directly on the decentralized exchange.  Right now, the ability to purchase bitUSD and several other assets appears to be broken.  If it's not fixed by Friday then we will not be able to launch this thing period.

I am excited that we will be able to offer these things, but the tech needs to be in place and reliable enough to pull it off, or our business model falls down.

I do not object to Newmine's posts, in the same way I don't object to Tony's, I actually welcome them. Criticism is always important, and is for a reason.

Yep, if you want to be honest, the most of what they said until now is true! Of course reality hearts most times, and we don't want to accept/face it...

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but it is important to note that actually the accuracy of what Newmine has said is negligible at best.  Some of the delegates he has called out were delegates likely needing voted out, but that does not mean that his words do not hurt/hinder the community. 

I want proof of what he says because most everything I personally see behind the scenes directly refutes it. 

[betax]

Ok so on Friday we will have an official announcement

[bitmeat]

In fact I think the lack of adoption is lack of certainty in the protocol, and it's hard to innovate if you set the protocol in stone.

[bitmeat]

Wow to be able to use BTS in ATM, it will need to be able to check andupdate hard forks on a daily basis... Which seems scary and risky but good luck. Hopefully bts protocol will stabilize and be able to be integrated in hardware more easily going forward.

quick guess: the OP is domsch and announces bithaus/nxthaus?! <very wild GUESS>

Xeroc you are good!! what a memory

Rumors say domach is still actively working on this even though not giving public updates .. DO consider this rumors .. not an investmend advice!

I'd never heard of domsch until now, but it looks like he's fairly keen on nxt. Latest update from him on the nxt forums just 3 days ago:

...we are right now just waiting for confirmation from our attorney to receive our Terms of Services for him - then we will be able to softlaunch the platform. We have completed penetration testing and should be good to go after we have the TOS in place

We will definitely try our best for PayExpo

Sounds like they're very close to launch. Not sure if BTS is involved in any way though.

https://nxtforum.org/general-discussion/bithaus-the-very-first-nxt-fiat-exchange-is-near!/360/

No I'm not dormsch, and it's not a BTS/NXT fiat gateway.  Well actually I guess it could function as a BTS/FIAT & FIAT/BTS gateway since it involves ATMs.  Not the core of the thing though, that's just a surface bit.

Definitely not me and I don't believe this shit story one bit. Probably Stan or someone who is really hurting because they kept buying more and more as the price dropped, like Ander.

How surprising of you. Who do you work for anyway? I hope you charge well for your trolling services.

Says the pretend marketeer.

Who do you work for? Some resort doing marketing because a smash and crash facebook campaign for what was it exactly? You have no marketing degree, but you think because you know what SEO means you are an experienced marketing guru. You have only been here a few months and your stake has largely been handed to you which is why we get the nonchalant attitude when price drops from the likes of you. Like the food stamper who buys lobster and cashes their welfare checks for absurd amounts of fees, you don't have real skin in the game. So it's easy for you to shrug off a loss of investment that you didn't really earn.

Quit your twitter and Facebook annoyances and pie in the sky attitude when the sky is actually and truly falling on those who spent their hard earned money on an idea that has pivoted so many times, he creators can't even remember what they were originally doing here.

Ha!  I knew I recognized this technique from somewhere!

From Wikipedia:  Magical Creatures in Harry Potter

Dementors

The dementors are "soulless creatures... among the foulest beings on Earth": a phantom species who, as their name suggests, gradually deprive human minds of happiness and intelligence. They are the guards of the wizard prison, Azkaban, until after the return of antagonist Lord Voldemort.

In the Harry Potter books, dementors have a generally human shape, approximately 3 metres (10 feet) in height, covered in dark, hooded cloaks that reveal only their decayed-looking hands. Beneath the cloak, dementors are eyeless, and the only feature of note is the perpetually indrawn breath, by which they consume the emotions and good memories of human beings, forcing the victim to relive its worst memories alone. According to the author, dementors grow like fungi in dark, moist places, creating a dense, chilly fog. Although they are implied to be sentient, this is left ambiguous. The presence of a dementor makes the surrounding atmosphere grow cold and dark, and the effects are cumulative with the number of dementors present. The culmination of their power is the 'Dementor's Kiss', wherein the dementor latches its mouth onto a victim's lips and consumes its soul or psyche, presumably to leave the victim in a vegetative state.

Hey newmine.  Let's try to settle this seemingly endless well of anger and negativity I think you have gotten caught up in? 

Let's get you starting to attend hangouts.  You can tell everyone who you are and what you do.  Give them the story behind why you joined BitShares and then can answer some community questions like the delegates and devs do.  I think it would be very valuable for many of us to get to know the real you and how you have so much experience in crypto, marketing and pretty much everything else.  It has saddened me to a degree that you have made yourself such an outsider and I would personally like to help you overcome this so you can get back to being a part of our community who is focused on solving problems as opposed to inciting anger toward people who honestly do not deserve it.

There are better ways to do things, and I think mumble would be a far more productive place for you to speak your mind.  More importantly...it would help people take you seriously.  I hope we can help you because I'd hate to see you eventually leave the community in anger that none of your opinions ever get considered...

I think the main reason none of your posts are taken seriously is because your weakest point is interpersonal communication (there is nothing wrong with this, of course, unless you want people to take you seriously).  This is a great opportunity for yourself and for the entire community to grow.  I hope you will accept it.

[mdj]

My honest to god hope is about a 50% dip in price right before we launch this. 

Seriously? That's your real hope? Yet you spread this hype which looks like a clear attempt to try and raise the price...

I'd love to believe you but I just can't sorry, I like my facts.

i also feel the original post is over-promised. We should accept the fact, learn and adapt.
I do not affraid the price drop for now, if we finally find a way, it will go up.

Whatever you have up your sleeves I hope it works out. Welcome aboard.

[zerosum]

can't tell if Stan or Newmine

Post was supposed to be humorous and hopeful.  Also the reason we choose bitshares is because of the inflation decisions and a few others that have been made lately.  Price drops are good at this stage of business for us.  But real diehards, well you guys should stick around awhile, if you are still here at that point, you will see a reward.

Ok, lots of confusion about who I am, who I work for etc.  It's all irrelevant at this stage.  My honest to god hope is about a 50% dip in price right before we launch this.  However I see lots of grumbling and I do want people to know something is imminently on the horizon.

So since I can't announce this on my own, which is frankly one hell of craw in my maw, let's ask some questions about what has changed in bitshares and the world in the past month or so that might cause us to escalate the plan.

First off, by raise of hands,

Who is aware of any bitshares enabled ATMs coming online shortly?

* tsaishen raises hand

Who is aware of the advantages of bitshares vs NXT for a company that runs existing bitcoin ATMS?

* tsaishen raises hand

Who is aware of the fact the certain ATMs are also already being directly linked to exchanges?

* tsaishen hand again

Who knows the fees associated with trying to withdraw cash and manage other assets while traveling internationally?

* tsaishen *nods*

Now ask yourself.  As a US based small business owner who is seeking exposure to international capital markets, what provides a better tool bitshares or NXT?
Why?

At this point I can't say or even hint at more without risking breaking my NDA.  You all seem like a great group of people and I'm excited to be here, but it's not my job to announce this.  My role is mostly the project management and talent acquisition side, read this as CIO.  You'll probably only see me here looking for aspiring dev talent.  The CEO is a long standing member of this community, he'll do the actual announce so you know it's legit.

In the meantime, please by all means, if you feel the urge to divest yourself, do so.  Dump at todays prices.  But my point still stands, don't complain about it.  I bought bitcoin the first time it reached $20 something and sold when it all when it touched $4 USD.  I sold because I believed firmly that it had lost all potential, so I do feel your pain. 

On the other hand, if you have holdings and have been looking for an excuse to hold on for just a little bit longer.  Here is a reason to keep your hope alive, hold your shares and let's do this thing together!

 what is NXT?

Ok, lots of confusion about who I am, who I work for etc.  It's all irrelevant at this stage.  My honest to god hope is about a 50% dip in price right before we launch this.  However I see lots of grumbling and I do want people to know something is imminently on the horizon.

So since I can't announce this on my own, which is frankly one hell of craw in my maw, let's ask some questions about what has changed in bitshares and the world in the past month or so that might cause us to escalate the plan.

First off, by raise of hands,

Who is aware of any bitshares enabled ATMs coming online shortly?

* tsaishen raises hand

Who is aware of the advantages of bitshares vs NXT for a company that runs existing bitcoin ATMS?

* tsaishen raises hand

Who is aware of the fact the certain ATMs are also already being directly linked to exchanges?

* tsaishen hand again

Who knows the fees associated with trying to withdraw cash and manage other assets while traveling internationally?

* tsaishen *nods*

Now ask yourself.  As a US based small business owner who is seeking exposure to international capital markets, what provides a better tool bitshares or NXT?
Why?

At this point I can't say or even hint at more without risking breaking my NDA.  You all seem like a great group of people and I'm excited to be here, but it's not my job to announce this.  My role is mostly the project management and talent acquisition side, read this as CIO.  You'll probably only see me here looking for aspiring dev talent.  The CEO is a long standing member of this community, he'll do the actual announce so you know it's legit.

In the meantime, please by all means, if you feel the urge to divest yourself, do so.  Dump at todays prices.  But my point still stands, don't complain about it.  I bought bitcoin the first time it reached $20 something and sold when it all when it touched $4 USD.  I sold because I believed firmly that it had lost all potential, so I do feel your pain. 

On the other hand, if you have holdings and have been looking for an excuse to hold on for just a little bit longer.  Here is a reason to keep your hope alive, hold your shares and let's do this thing together!

can't tell if Stan or Newmine

How surprising of you. Who do you work for anyway? I hope you charge well for your trolling services.

At first I thought NewMine was a troll, but now I see him as an algae eater. The tank has to be cleaned by someone.

You might want to mention that your statement was not a true fact.  I saw the sarcasm, but I think others missed it.

To clarify, I don't work for bitshares or any company that has ever announced support bitshares in the past.
Although bitsharesblog's statement is giving me pause for concern now.

I'm pretty sure everybody here knows it was sarcasm. I'm skeptical because you said that the low price was great for you guys. Well... wouldn't it be better to not say anything and let the price go down even more? Altruism and incredulity aside... I'm going to have to side with NewMine on this one. I dumped a load of SDC to buy BTS, and that coin pumped over 400%, while BTS has eaten away over 50% of my investment. (Some folks here are in much worse shape.) Why? Because I believed BTS was about the product... not hype like SDC. Still believing, but the natives are getting restless.

edited my statement, which was sarcastic. Sorry to anyone I may have confused.

Yeah, unfortunately sarcasm often doesn't come across well on forums that have many users with English as a second language.

That's like saying you can't tell the difference between hot and cold!

Not Dan or me.

@Toast and everyone else...
It's real.  I'm neither of those people.  Sorry the posting is obtuse.  I just don't have the legal right to talk about it yet.  2 weeks, maybe less for a full announce.  Depends on how quickly the website is spun up and how fast we can get legal to sign off on the official announce.
Probably shouldn't have jumped the gun by saying anything at all.  But I've been working on this a long time, just getting excited to see the effort bare fruit. 

In the meantime, I'll hang here in the forums and see where I can contribute.

  "People leaving in droves and for good reason". Was that a subtle jab by a mockingbird, or a good reason for hope?

[sittingduck]

Lots going on behind the scenes. I like it.

The people who sold their stock after the crash of 2008 still regret their foolishness.

I don't know what you are up to. but I like it!

Great first post, hope is real

[nomoreheroes7]

Uhh...hmm...lol I'd like to believe this...but...really?

 

[mudshark79]

Who are you and what have you done to Stan? 

[tsaishen]

I have noticed a lot of people complaining about the falling price.
I just want to take a moment and say...



But seriously, If you have a ton of BTS that has lost value, if you feel like it's going nowhere but down. 
Don't lose heart...

You are not yet aware of this, but there are several people working behind the scenes that are introducing something amazing into this space.
Each of us is bringing something unique to the table.  Together we are building something that no one else has really tried before.

We've been quiet because we are in stealth mode.  There were legal pieces we had to get out of the way first but those were cleared out of the way as of this morning.  The dropping BTS price has been very good for us, allowing us to accumulate enough that we are nearing launch much more quickly than we originally hoped.

Our plan was originally longer term, we weren't even going to launch this until next year. 
But something changed, something unexpected and wonderful in it's own way.
 
Now instead of next year, something is coming in the next 90 days.  You will get a preview of it in the next 2 weeks.
We believe that what is coming is a revolution that will be bigger than anything which has been seen before.
BTS is the future, we're absolutely sure of it. 
I can't really say anything more.

You don't know me.  I don't expect you to trust me.   However I felt I should bring a message of hope because I see people leaving in droves and for good reason.  The price is falling and the amount of currency in circulation is just way to high for the current market to support.

It needs a killer app to spur mass adoption.  We are building that killer app. It's not anything that's ever been discussed on this site. It will be the most incredible thing you've never heard of.  Just bear with us a little longer.
In otherwords...
