If I can ever help you with something let me know. for a good man

[xeroc]

Short update:

The last three weeks I have been working on:
* whitepapers (one of which is currently under review by BM)
* implemented a easy to read JS API interface example which evolved to ..
* stats.bitshares.org webpage to show statistics of the current graphene testnet
* regular tech support in the forum
* enhancing the python tools (in particular I am interfacing with websockets to have the posibility for live-updates in python)

Additionally, I am learning alot more Javascript so that I can eventually assist with development of the GUI .. but that may take more time as I am by far not as good a coder as BM

+5 to xeROCK of bitsharestalk.

Terrific news!

[Akado]

eager to know more about that potential new project. and goold luck in your PhD

[cube]

Great to hear of your increasing participation in bitshares.  Looking forward to your white papers and other secret-projects-to-be-revealed.

[xeroc]

Just a quick update for those wondering:
* Today is my final day at my last work
* However, I will need to put some more hours (just a few) into my PhD defense and correcting some minor bugs for the final release version

The last couple of days I mainly put my time towards writing whitepapers for BitShares. At current stage they mainly consist of the content
presented at the webpage with some general blabla about transactions/operations/accounts aswell as some stuff about the financial instruments.
Nothing worth talking about publicly yet, but I hope to have at least the one whitepaper about the DEX finished before official launch date of 2.0.
Luckily, I will have plenty of time to concentrate almost solely on the whitepaper in the near term

Besides the whitepapers, I also started reading into react and did some initial "get-in-touch" work with the web wallet. Quite nice stuff. However,
I am not as good and by FAR not as efficient at coding as BM, Valentine, James, or svk, but I hope that I can contribute at the front-end too.

There is at least one other projects I would not like to disclose yet as they are not yet in a presentable state but they focus about content
creation to get people into the BTS space more quickly. Stay excited.

As most can be seen, I am still quite active in the forum giving feedback, explanations and support.

A big THANKS for what you have done and what you will do....
You absolutely deserve this and I expect you get to the first place of delegates with the most votes.

P.S.: I'm also thinking  Max and Michael are doing a great job!![/i][/u]

Absolutely!!!

xeroc, would you consider (in the future, once 2.0 is released) assuming the role of our missing Marketing Director?
Of course, we should run some kind of community vote on this but I'm sure you are going to get a lot of support.

I can support marketing efforts but don't see myself in the position of a "marketing director". I'd rather do consulting and help grow the ecosystem by coding some useful tools

  - Personally i'm thinking we should get away from the classical point of view on marketing etc ... IMO the nullstreet community marketing is what we should try to get forward ...

@xeroc .. i like your way of thinking!!!

I know that officially this position is empty and Adam Ernest is supposed to cover this area but I have the impression that he's too busy with FMV to be able to take care of BTS as a whole.

Don't know much about what is happending in Blackburg. From what I know, @ak introduces alot of people from the non-crypto world to BitShares, and that is VERY good!

I think it would be really nice to have this position filled by someone actually chosen by the community. The technical side needs to be delegated to Cryptonomex for the time being as there is no other developer team matching their skills and experience. But regarding the marketing and PR aspect clearly we can manage on our own. And to be able to do that efficiently we need somebody in charge. For me you are the perfect candidate for this role.

With the referral program, I don't see that we need a 'central' entity for marketing. BitShares a decentralized business and so should be the marketing (IMHO). Let's wait and see if the referral program can make BTS go viral.

Congratulations!

I think it is one of the fastest, if not the fastest ascend, I have ever seen.  Amazing!

Your slate has helped many a delegate. Do keep it going.

[xeroc]

Thanks you everyone!!!
Feeds are up and more on-chain details will come!

What are your thoughts about a slate? Shall I put the same slate as "delegate.xeroc"?
