There's a discussion about moving PTS to DPOS here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9548.0

He does not care Rob, he just likes the sound of his own voice in his personal chamber.

Ohh man, how smart he feels listening to the sound of his own voice, repeating his wisdom....  again and again and again

Man, you just REALLY hate new forum users dont you tonyk.

If you could get ebay, then obviously that would be amazing.  But how many people have been trying for years now to get ebay to take bitcoin?

At this point we need any market at all for bitUSD.  Going from 0 to 1 is the most important move.

Thanks! 

My biggest wish right now is that the non-contributing community will find something to do. We need to find a way to leverage every single member of the community into ensuring the success of our blockchain.

Yes.

Referral program! 

Its an old World of Warcraft meme.  I was comparing the bitcoin seller (now dubbed 'the bearwhale') with 25k coins on the ask to a boss that everyone needed to attack. 

In World of Warcraft a large team of players (a 'guild') would need to work together to defeat a boss.  Such a group was referred to as a 'raid'. 

There is a famous video from around 2005 or so where a raid group is fighting a dragon, Onyxia, one of the major challenges at the time. 

Several of the phrases that the raid leader says in the video turned into famous memes.

"More DoTs":  A DoT or 'damage over time' spell is something that the players would be able to cast on the boss.  The raid leader is calling for more DoTs to be cast on the boss, providing sustained damage over time.

"50 dkp minus":  When the boss is defeated, the group would have to divvy up its treasure.  However, the treasure would be in the form of maybe 4 or so items, whereas at the time a group of 40 people would need to collaborate to take down the boss. 

The standard system for handling this was for a leader to track the participation of members of their guild over time, giving out "dragon kill points" or dkp to participants.  Thus, a player might participate in ten boss kills over the course of a month, and gain dkp each time, and then once they had enough, they would spend their dkp to win one of the items awarded for killing the boss, usually through an auction system.  (Players would bid dkp on the item they wanted, and the highest bidder would be given the item and dkp would be deducted from their total).

The "50 dkp minus" meme comes from the fact that in the video, the leader was threatening the team members with a 50 dkp penalty if they messed up. 


Hopefully that made some sense.

Is it 100% premined or something? Surely no one's actually buying this...

When you are issuing shares of stock, "100% premined" is not an issue.  You could say we (bitshares) are premined.    In fact, the proof of work believers do exactly that and use it to dismiss BTSX as not worth considering.


That said, I dont know anything about what BANXShares are.
