The bandwidth requirements are long term. Hardly something worth worrying about until we are bigger than Bitcoin.

ok well if there's ever anything you think could be a win-win scenario for a university Finance dept and the Bitshares community, please let me know and I'll happily present our case.

I could ask some of the faculty at my old university if they are interested. I'm not sure that they'd bite, but I'm certain that they're interested. That and they teach almost universally low level c++, IBM assembly and mainframe. Getting them into the boost aspects might be very very good. I also just so happen to be on very good terms with the head of the department of computer science there and I think he might be looking to update the program.

..just listened to the latest hangout session (excellent way of communicating btw!):

Regarding the delegates' need of high bandwidth, why don't we ask universities to host delegates? This has quite successfully be done with IRC servers some time/decades ago, and might just work the same way with BTS delegates. Universities commonly have almost unlimited bandwidth and other capacities, and anyway may have some intrinsic/academic interest in the BTS network (collecting [big]data, storing prices, order books, etc). So, I suggest, we ask ~25 universities across the world each to host a single BTS delegate/server. In contrast to IRC, the hosting universities would even be paid for their support! How cool is that?! Also, that could turn out to be a very nice "marketing gag".

if the tech savvy folks here can put together the specs of exactly what that'd entail and how university's could benefit, i'll happily take this to the FIN dept at the UofSC. the faculty are getting interested in crypto anyway, so this could be good timing. if there's some advantage wrt data collection, or helping train students, then we might be able to sell it.

What would the memory usage roughly have been if the squatter didn't register his names?

Probably 25MB less.

In last weeks mumble you said you would not let "perfect take the place of good enough" and that you realized you need to ship a product soon. Has something changed? Do you expect the test net to be ready this month?

I am just prioritizing basic features over extra features like the bond market. Test net is coming as fast as possible.

Code Select Expand
1. Release BitShares 0.9.3 with extra API for dumping private keys for an account to facilitate easy importing into Graphene.

Is't mean:BitShares2.0 don't use a snapshot from BitShares0.9.3?
BitShares 2.0 will be based on a snapshot of the BTS0.* blockchain ..
the feature BM is talking about will only make importing your funds a lot more convenient

Thanks +5%
