Guessing this project is dead... That murderistic guy really struck out with his bitshares ventures. As far as I can tell everything he's worked on failed.

Mr. Tiffany just called me last week out of the blue to talk about several big applications for BitShares he is working on this year. Apparently his previous deals fell through so he has been rebuilding. He sounded positive about them, but as always, an entrepreneur's life is about getting smacked down and getting back up a lot of times. We'll just have to wait and see.

I'm not promising anything. Just answering your question on one man's apparent status. In the words of Monty Python, "He's not dead yet."

Thanks, and it's good to hear that he is still working on BTS business's. Can you confirm that the Peak plans are no longer relevant?

Next time I chat with him I'll ask. Don't know whether this is under a new name or not. But there is still a strong affiliate marketing and gaming industry component to some of the projects he mentioned.

Meanwhile, Murderistic is recovering from a sad personal loss while still managing to come up with more potential opportunities.

It's all about continuing to drill wells until you strike oil.

I assume they didn't count BTS as an important partner,so this is the result.
you have to admit bts suck,as Stan.

What makes you think anything happened to them? The world doesn't revolve around this forum.

Probably because we were supposed to see the second part of the announcement soon

Sounds very promising, do we know the website yet?

I do, but since they want to rethink everything about it based on BitShares integration, they are currently not making it public until ready - the old one is out there though, if you know where to look. Second announcement from them may clear some things up later this month.
everything come from stans mouth was unlikelihood

Yep. Still coming. Justin has been sick, so they may not make their July target for Part 2.
Steve assured me it will be out "as soon as they can manage it."

Everybody has their target dates and everybody has obstacles to overcome.
Opportunities and challenges pop up and cause strategies to keep evolving.

Two unannounced partners completely reworked their plans in July.
Three decided not to publish anything until they are completely ready.

For these reasons we've only managed to announce six pieces of the puzzle so far,
and the Summer is already 5 weeks gone!

But lots of stuff is happening behind the scenes and we've still got over 8 weeks of Summer to go.

Partnership announcements will occur on our partners' time tables.
We are just happy to have so many great new partners to work with!

Most of the posts on this forum complain about not enough advance information on things.
We try to stay open about as much as we can but try not to make any promises in this uncertain world.

Still, I guess there's always somebody who'll try to turn an encouraging word into a broken promise if they can.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planning_fallacy

Everything will always take longer than you expect it will, because some of the many possible low probability events that could derail your plan will occur, even if each individual possibility has a low chance of happening.

Stan, and the Bitshares dev team, seem to never account for the planning fallacy.

To be fair, neither do most anyone else. :)
Ethereum is about to launch over 4 months late today.

And probably a year from now they'll be waiting for important features just like we are right now waiting for BTS 2.0.

The only thing I see is smart and highly motivated people trying their best to accomplish a amazing project.

I don't understand why doubting all the time about them. If there is no news ready for the public right now, so be it. There will be more to come on the next weeks.

Let's be patient ;)

The price is a bit frustrating right now but the best we can do is maintain the good mood in the community.

You set the norm that there would be an announcement each week. You gave us the expectation that things would be handled with polished professionalism after the Chinese intervened. We understand that things happen. We see that there is still room for improvement. A simple reaching out to the community, maybe quick sentence or two. Instead of us the community pulling you for answers. Why does it matter? Well I think cause all these efforts displays your intent to do as you say. And what you say could be taken authentically. Otherwise what was the point of all the vast changes we made in October? Can we take them seriously?

Just my thoughts. On the other hand you guys are always answer questions here on forums and we appreciate that. We just think there should be consistency and better commitment to the PR piece like you had promised.

PS: I'd rather have you guys not give any hints at all since they are always misconstrued and just have you surprise the community. It lowers the expectation and allows you guys to over deliver.

As soon as they are back up. They are gaining users to fast for their systems to handle it. :)

Bitshares never did well on reddit. Lets try again on voat.

Because people stupidly insisted on posting BitShares stuff on Bitcoin sub knowing they were not welcomed lol. Get it on voat. Reddit is closing subs and people are shifting towards voat it seems.

we already pissed off r/bitcoin and r/crypto so there's nothing much left in terms of crypto communities.

Murderistic · July 02, 2015, 05:22:49 PM

The next thing for you all to do is to drop a few in Reddit - tweet a few, facebook a few, etc.

Send some to Crypto news sites to get them interested in the story.

Write a quick blurb on what you think is important and send it to the crypto news sites.

tweet at well known finance people that talk about crypto and add a link.

It is up to all of you to help build the buzz and get people to take notice, just as much as anyone else.

And it would be a great help!

:D

Murderistic · July 02, 2015, 05:20:28 PM

Pretty much it is how news and PR is distributed - no secret. We work out a deal that allows syndication of a release, they then resyndicate the story we put out.

Why are all the URLs similar? Groups of story IDs are the same across different news outlets? Are they all running on the same database? Something doesn't make sense.

Murderistic gets one article to the combined readership of all those outlets.
This is what Big Time Syndication is all about!

But each site would have a different way to post stories unless they are all developed on the same platform... Seems that way.
