This could work, with a few modifications.

*Modified part in italic in the original proposal if not explicitly quoted here
1)
" every hour:

 - Let P = "center point" of the market. (Feed price? Center of spread?)
 - Take a snapshot of the order book
 - Ignore all orders (a) more than 5% away from P or (b) less than 60 minutes old
"

becomes:
Every Time a new order is placed in that market:

 - Let P = "center point" of the market. (Feed price? Center of spread?)
 - Take a snapshot of the order book
 - Ignore all orders (a) more than 5% away from P
 - ignore the newly placed order

T = time since last snapshot

2)
score = (order_size / side_total) * (1 + distance_bonus) * T

3)
order_total = MIN (size of the sell (ask or bid side), maxOrder bitUSD)
maxOrder = the max order that qualifies for a bonus
 *[ we do not want orders for 50, 000 USD  existing for small periods of time to take away all the bonuses]; we can start with something like maxOrder =  500-1000 USD

//EDIT
NB depending how filled orders are handled in bts a solution how exactly to do this must be made BUT:
If any order is filled due to this newly placed order, the filled order(s) should be included in the calculations above for that round of rewards

This just got me to thinking.

Maybe a lot of people are scared to market because BitShares changes so much and it's difficult to keep up with.

Back before we knew 2.0 was coming, I used to do quite a bit of pretend-journalism and evangelizing on reddit.

I was trying to introduce new people to BTS in posts that I thought easily presented an opportunity. I was attempting to give out as accurate of info as I understood But even then it was getting ahead of me, and in a couple of the posts a respected former community member came on and basically told people to ignore me because I was full of shit (in so many words), didn't send me a courtesy pm to correct my inaccuracies or anything. I felt as though I my efforts were counterproductive, not to mention feeling like a complete idiot because I had a certain degree of respect for this person who simply wrote me off.

After that I've been too scared to market for fear of sounding like a total fool, though I did in and contribute to lists of newspapers and such in nullstreet.

But I was thinking, now that BTS 2.0 is here, we should prepare a set of standardized marketing materials, graphics, one-liners, and catchphrases, that have been VETTED and PRE-APPROVED by really smart people, that only give details that are SET IN STONE. That way people who aren't quite as smart can participate without being worried about unintentionally spreading misinformation.

As with dailydecrypt sponsorship I got frustrated with no progress and have gone ahead and just done it.

I have purchased these twitter and fb handles for the community because it needed to be done.

Twitter.com/bitshares
Facebook.com/bitshare

I paid $2800 for the both of them and expect the community to pay me back for them in full. (can forward email correspondence to prove sale to me)
I think a worker proposal is the best way to collect the funds for this but am not competent enough with CLI client to create one myself.

Could @xeroc or another trusted community member create a worker proposal to cover this $2800 and I will hand over these accounts to the commitee.
Alternatively If cryptonomex wants to send it to me directly that would be easier.

PS I need to wait a week before I change the graphics on the fb page.

How much did you personally end up contributing to TheDailyDecrypt sponsorship? (that you didn't get reimbursed for by other donors?)

All financial costs for the daily decrypt were covered by you, openledger and the community.
I made it happen though by paying upfront with my own money and organising it all like I am doing again.
I have personally contributed at least 6 hours of my own time back with emails and then cleaning up the accounts so they don't follow spam accounts etc.

There is another gui client at https://bitshares.org/wallet which works now. Downloadable client also works.
