Not exactly groundbreaking, but expensive.

Whys that?  Seems that a company could simply offer physical delivery for a premium of X% above spot bitGLD.. wouldn't be very risky or expensive.

Thanks for the link but it's apples to oranges.
He's saying that it's an expensive option for their customers because they must go into their physical vaults, melt kilo bars into 100 gram bars (minimum withdraw), apply shipping and taxation, etc. while it'd be cheaper for their customers to just buy gold locally or online using BTC.

What I was proposing would be a metals shop (or delegate) accepting bitGLD as a form of payment for physical which wouldn't be expensive to operate.

not quite sure why this is worth a  +5%orgasm...  Basically all thats being said is that there are still people working on bitshares.  Big deal, thats what they should be doing.

Some ETA's would be nice to have... is this stuff all a pipe dream, or is there an actual target date to aim for?

https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/milestones
ETAs are:
0.9.0 = March 25. 
0.10.0 = April 1 
0.11.0 = April 8

come on
Do not believe this schedule,they can change it anytime.

Yea, it's more frustrating than anything to watch the milestones. All they ever do is get pushed back, past due, pushed back, past due, rinse and repeat. Some realistic ETA's would be nice.

Software development can be extremely difficult to estimate.  I work in the industry and know first hand that sometimes the most trivial items take much longer to troubleshoot than items thought to be huge undertakings, sometimes one item may require another item to be re-worked in order to achieve maximum efficiency, etc.  Sure, milestones can be changed or pushed back at anytime and I understand that could be frustrating but it's frustrating for the devs too and it's better to extend a deadline than implement an unstable version.  As far as the devs are concerned, the milestones listed are probably very realistic but sometimes shit happens and you have to roll with it.

This topic is one of the best things I've seen on the forum recently.

Agreed. Updates like this on a semi-regular basis are exactly what investors are looking for.

 

Has anything changed when claiming vested balances?

No I've collected them today using 0.7.0.
Are you using wallet_collect_vested_balances userName ?

Wow looks very promising !  Is there a FollowMyVote milestone breakdown so we can follow the progress?

Great initiative looks cool !
