Title: The History of Bitshares - Beginnings to Today
Post by: andrew_s on July 29, 2016, 09:11:54 am
So in my last post (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,22912.0.html) there was an excellent recommendation to a post by Stan (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,14019.0.html) about Bitshares history from inception to 1Q2015 (Chapters 1 through 10).

So here I am very excited and confused. Everything was looking great right about then, so what happened since?
To be clear I am looking for a detailed account of everything that's basically happened since the merger including maybe some other resource to a recent "State of the Bitshares." Yes I read the roadmap but firstly it only talks about the technical state, and second my gap of information since the merger leaves me technically disconnected to the current roadmap,

Thanks again for this amazing community's effort to catch me up to speed. I plan to make a post with a collection of everything I have found to make it easier for the next guy or gal.

UPDATE: Chapter 11 begins here (http://steem.link/7BVk7).
Chapter 12 begins here (http://steem.link/SzApU).
Chapter 13 begins here (http://steem.link/cg6wd).
Chapter 14 begins here (http://steem.link/GjzpO).
Chapter 15 begins here (http://steem.link/hZ1iP).

Ok, per your request.  I'll take a crack at documenting the second 18 months.

...and make "@Stan" uncapitalized, because for some reason Steemit won't recognize the link if it's not all lower-case.

Yeah, it wouldn't be right to claim that Cryptonomex is the "father" of BitShares or Steem.  That is clearly Dan.
"Grandfather" didn't seem like much of a company slogan.
"Godfather" had a decent level of indirection and a nice ambiguous ring to it.

We try to make people offers they can't refuse.  :)

Of course you can PM me!
