General Discussion / Re: LTB metions Bitshares with Ripple fiasco
« on: May 13, 2015, 04:29:19 pm »
It seemed to me that Adam B. Levine was much more favorable towards BitShares than Stephanie or Andreas.
Having said that, Stephanie and Andreas were commenting on BitShares based on specific information presented by Adam.
Because there was ambiguity, it could be argued that the information was correct. I think it was only correct for a subset of types of User Issued Asset though. It wasn't correct for BTS, BitUSD (or any BitAsset), or those User Issued Assets which don't allow whitelisting.

I think it's a case of lack of knowledge of BitShares. It'll be good once BitShares gets to a point where the more fundamental aspects have been solidly decided upon. Then people will be able to get to grips with it, and maybe it'll become more widely appreciated.

The potential of BitShares is much bigger than originally envisioned. It will essentially be a platform with inbuilt tools for people to use as they wish. It will enable innovation and entrepreneurship in many fields from social to financial, from personal to big business.

It's too much to ask people who aren't heavily involved with BitShares to see this. Especially when things are so turbulent whilst things are revised optimized. Especially when there are so many other projects going on outside BitShares.

The last two minutes, starting from 48:00 sound pretty negative to me. It sounded like they (not so much Adam) were slating BitShares and Ripple together. If I didn't already know about BitShares this would've seriously affected my opinion.

Earlier in the podcast (~32:00 as @yellowecho mentioned) freezing assets was mentioned in association with BitShares. At no point in the show was it made clear that this doesn't relate to BTS or BitAssets. Neither did they mention the important fact that User Issued Assets can have this ability to freeze (or whitelist) permanently disabled (or not enabled in the first place).

General Discussion / Re: BTS: .P2P .DAC - Decentralized DNS using the BitShares blockchain!
« on: May 11, 2015, 05:40:41 pm »
I posted a topic - "Ideas for an alternative DNS model"- a while back.
It didn't get any comments, so it's probably crap, but someone may find something of value hidden in there?

@kov: you could claim your 'new' DPOS PTS, but they're not worth much money (does anyone think this could ever change?)

^ I think they are insane and are the types of personalities that would choose to be "Kings in a world of Ash" as opposed to "Citizens in a world of Plenty".  And they have a strangle hold on our entire ecosystem. 

I think we should do everything we can to help protect them.

Thanks for the link fuzzy.
This is heavy stuff. If only more people could open their eyes to these kinds of issues.

Catherine said there are three things that could happen:
  • War
  • Collapse
  • Change

I wonder if the new tools being created (crypto stuff like BitShares) could help steer things enough toward the third option of 'change'...

Muse/SoundDAC / Re: e-mail to my favourite Artists inviting them to join Peertracks
« on: May 05, 2015, 06:40:09 pm »
I think it's still too early to approach most musicians who are established in the mainstream.

I agree with @Tuck Fheman , that PeerTracks could be introduced to smaller bands though.

It'd be excellent to hear from @cob on this though!
There is this post by cob from September.

(He said, "It's still a bit to early to really reach out to them. It will be clear when BitShares Music is ready.")...

Follow My Vote / Charlie Shrem wants to spend time in prison thinking about voting
« on: April 27, 2015, 09:06:51 pm »
Charlie Shrem wants to spend his time in prison thinking about the blueprints for creating a way to provide countries, or companies, or foundations, or nations, or states, or municipalities a turnkey solution to running cheap but free and fair elections using the blockchain.

Listen to this bit of "Let's Talk Bitcoin! #206 Reflections with Bitcoins' First Felon". It's less than two minutes - the link is at 19:22, listen up to 20:43...

Can we contact him to tell him about our solution?

General Discussion / Can we use the low BTS price to our advantage?

Many people don't like to feel that they've missed out. They wish they'd bought a cryptocurrency 'on the ground floor'.

When they feel like they've 'missed the boat', they ignore the boat or want it to sink.

Could or should we try to market BitShares by saying that people have a second chance to get in at the ground floor (because the price is so low)?

Perhaps this could be an opportunity to promote the creation of a wider distribution?


I believe the above is a poor train of thought, but I present it to you all nevertheless. :-\

Looks like the Peercoin/NuBits/NuShares guys what to start a new exchange to compete with us

"B&C Exchange will be an open-source decentralized exchange that completes cryptocurrency trades between users by utilizing multisig signers that compete for blockchain rewards based on their effectiveness and honesty. Trades will occur using real cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and NuBits, as opposed to artificial proxy cryptoassets like those found in NXT or BitShares"


https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1033773.0

BitAssets are arguably no more "artificial" than Bitcoin, and every bit as "real" as Bitcoin.

This thread...

Wouldnt an inverse bitUSD just be a BTS?
Can we not achieve this exact functionality right now by buying BTS?

Oh wait, no one must buy a BTS under any circumstances, it must be avoided at all costs! :P

It will be worth 1 BTS but it will be backed by 300% ^ 2 BTS. or about 9 BTS  :)

So, 1 bitUSDINVINV would be worth the same as 1 bitUSD, but would be backed by the BTS equivalent of about 27 bitUSD?
In that case perhaps there would be a slight premium on it, making it worth a bit more than 1 bit USD (because it is backed more strongly)?

General Discussion / Re: NeuCoin distribution program to Bitshares holders
« on: April 15, 2015, 05:30:09 pm »
Depending on the value of the sharedropped NeuCoins, it could be profitable for people to create many new accounts and split their balances (especially for cryptos where it's cheap to do so).
My hope is that people would not be so greedy, and would not want to go against the spirit of the sharedrop.
My expectation is that people on the whole would be too lazy to bother doing this.

Could this kind of 'gaming the system' be a problem, or is it relatively insignificant?
Either way, I don't see a decent way to avoid it, assuming that you definitely don't want the sharedropped amount to be fully proportional to stake.

#1 Copywriter - Must posses world class english skills.  You are preparing press releases that will become public with very little notice.  You must be very careful to avoid spelling and grammer misteaks.

Job application part 1 is to see that you have three spelling mistakes in this.   I'm going to assume this was actually on purpose, since the rest of the post is flawless.  Very clever! ;)

Edit: Someone beat me to it.

I also wonder whether or not tsaishen purposefully neglected to capitalise 'english'.

Interesting... I guess the aim is to enable Ripple to become even more mainstream and 'industrial'.

I'd like to know exactly who will hold all this information about the users?
