bitcrab is a businessman, not a solution seeker interested in finding good incentive structures.
That's why he got a response like this - for pushing his interests above the interests of the whole system.
No, bitcrab received the response he did because some people think it's more productive to attack the person rather than the idea. It was an embarrassing thread to read.
Personal attacks on bitcrab shame this community. Discussion and arguments should not be about personal attacks but about ideas.
Those who attacked personally bitcrab using vulgar language should be ashamed of themselves.
Identity is probably one of the most important constructs in our society. In our modern world, protecting one’s identity has become complex, as we no longer rely solely on governments to prove who we are. In addition, most identity sources can be easily compromised. Credit cards and social security numbers weren’t developed with the Internet in mind, and other identifiers such as logins and passwords aren’t well suited truly secure authentication and authorisation.
We’re joined by Tim Pastoor, Founder of 2way.io, to discuss how we can improve control of our identities using concepts borrowed from Bitcoin. Tim walks us through how people could better manage different identities and build reputation networks using Identifi, a global address book protocol invented by Martti Malmi, one of the very first Bitcoin users. We also talk what role this system could play in the future as autonomous agents and artificial intelligence become more prevalent.
Topics we discussed include :
– The history of identity systems and how traditional identity systems are broken
– How the invention of Blockchain technologies changed the way we think of identity
– The Identifi protocol and how it works
– How we can build reputation through Webs of Trust (WoT)
– The future of identity and how Identifi could provide ID for IoT, robots, autonomous agents and artificial intelligence
– 2Way.io and what the company is trying to achieve
Please vote out Bitcrab if you care about bitshares.
I think we need to be careful what we wish for.
It seems to me that bitcrab has enough power to fork BitShares and start over thus effectively push BitShares out of China.
At least I would do that if I were him.
There will be a significant market cap drop if he does that.
We need to be prepared for this.
Bitcrab has demonstrated many times that he is not willing to listen to other people and he is not interested in any compromises. I consider him as the biggest threat against Bitshares at the moment. I've seen people like him before and every time they just destroy everything if community is not able to get rid of them in time.
interesting.
I am open to any ideas, just today I raise a "3 modes" solution and try to reach a consensus with other groups.
yes, I dear to say no to anyone, I always state things directly, I insist my belief, I am a fighter, not a sweet gentleman.
I suggest you spend time on giving convictive ideas, not on doing personal attack. because the latter make no use.
Integrity is vital to a commitee member. Taking any action that takes advantage of advanced knowledge and position for profit demonstrates complete unsuitability for the role. Any committie memeber prooven to lack integrity must be removed.
I would take bitcrab's sincere efforts to improve the BitShares network.....along with the challenge of discussion in reaching a positive outcome for all......over a politician any day of the week.
Jonny, do you still feel OP is fair to Bitcrab? I think he's demonstarted a willingness to show he's a person and to search for a compromise.
below is the data of the transfer fee of the top12 cryptocoins in coinmarketcap:
some info:
1. the average transfer fee is $0.01.
2. the top3 high fee coins are MaidSafeCoin, Bitshares and Factom. however the other 2 are both coins for special functions - MaidSafe is for distributed storage and Factom is for notarization.
it is said that BM has said(not confirmed yet) in recent mumble session that in order to cover costs and prevent spam, the minimum fee should be $0.005-0.01
to calculate the cost of 1 transfer is not easy, it depend on several factors, especially the TPS, so now I just take BM's conclusion, if anyone has better result, please kindly share.
upon the above data, I give 2 areas for reasonable transfer fee on Bitshares platform for reference: the wider one: 1BTS-10BTS, the narrower one: 2BTS-5BTS.
What I don't get is how having the various XXXXX.YYY improves over centralized exchanges. If your company disappears, we're all left with useless tokens.
Wouldn't it make more sense to accept deposits in EUR and hand out BitEUR?
The main challenge I see here is "users" or say "customers". They said "I don't want to send users elsewhere". However, unless an exchange let their customer register on BitShares platform, it's difficult to use BitShares's Market Engine. Even CCEDK has both a self maintained engine + self maintained user database, and BitShares Engine + BitShares user registration entry, which are independent to each other so far.
So another challenge is resource. In this way the exchanges have to split efforts between 2 platforms. It's hard if they haven't enough resources.
