How about agreeing upon a standardised format which could include preferred mumble name (in many cases forum handle) and BTS account name?
So for example JoeyD (claude-homml)

That way we get the recognisable name we like, and it'll be easy to see BTS name too...

I think the BB code didn't copy correctly - you appear to be missing the glowing letters? :)

How do I do that? I just copy paste and appeared as is..please advise..

You must not of copied the whole code. This is yours:

<div class="signature" id="msg_224697_signature"><a href="https://metaexchange.info" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">https://metaexchange.info</a> | Bitcoin&lt;-&gt;Altcoin exchange | Instant | Safe | Low spreads</div>

It should look like this:

<div class="signature" id="msg_224654_signature"><strong><span style="text-shadow: orange 1px 1px 1px"><span style="font-size: 10pt;" class="bbc_size"><span style="color: navy;" class="bbc_color"><a href="https://metaexchange.info" class="bbc_link" target="_blank">https://metaexchange.info</a></span></span></span><span style="color: navy;" class="bbc_color"> | Bitcoin&lt;-&gt;Altcoin exchange | Instant | Safe | Low spreads</span></strong></div>

I had the same problem at first. I didn't get the last part in my copy/paste. To fix this I copied/pasted the first part, then moved the scroll bar over and copy/pasted the rest.

Thank you. I have copied/paste the long part of the long code that you mention but when I do my signature shows the whole code..
It is embarrassing to be the only one not being able to do it..lol..

Perhaps if you try putting it back with the long code so your signature shows the whole code. We may be able to look at it and spot where it's going wrong?

edit:
I'm on Windows and I don't have any code resembling the above. I just went to "Modify Profile", then "Forum Profile" and filled the "Signature" box with:

Code: [Select]
[b][glow=orange,1,4][size=10pt][color=navy]https://metaexchange.info[/color][/size][/glow][color=navy] | Bitcoin<->Altcoin exchange | Instant | Safe | Low spreads[/color][/b]
Where did the 'long code' quoted by konelectric come from? (I'm not very techy)

For anyone who's unaware, there is this thread from April 2014, called "Website name. Brainstorming".

It's 16 pages of suggestions. Anyone who's not seen it before may get some ideas from it for an inspired suggestion.

That is all part of 2.0. I couldnt come up with something BTS stakeholders could vote on other than what you mentioned.
Even though we can not come up with something like this NOW does not necessarily mean your future us can not :)
From what I understand from the code of Graphene, the code can be easily extended to allow for many more "voting" possibilities.

I don't yet know much about FMV, but I can imagine extra tokens that can vote for proposals that are independent of the BitShares Ecosytem.

The way I see it, BitShares 2.0 stake-based voting and Follow My Vote voting are two different ways of voting. The first is not private and weighs votes by the quantity of the asset (at first just BTS but in theory any asset) that is authorized for the particular election. The second is a "1 final vote/ballot per unique token" system where unique tokens are publicly assigned on the blockchain by the election authority prior to the election opening (typically with 1 token assigned per every unique person qualified for the particular election) and it uses advanced cryptography to provide privacy for the voters (disassociates the entities who were assigned the unique voting tokens in the public pre-election phase from the actual ballots submitted by each token after the election opens).

The first kind of voting is much easier and better suited for stake-based voting on proposals (despite the fact that it doesn't give us true privacy but rather just pseudo-anonymity assuming our account's aren't tied to our real identities). That is good enough for the type of decentralized governance Troglodactyl is talking about. So I would say after the transition to BitShares 2.0 is complete, we don't need to wait for an extra step 2 for Follow My Vote style voting features. We can and should immediately get started with voting on worker proposals for important new features to add to BitShares 2.0 such as (in no particular order): bond markets; option markets; privacy features (confidential transactions aka blinded amounts, stealth transfers with blinded signatures of the type that provide private multisig, transaction types designed to easily facilitate CoinJoin-like functionality, etc.); Follow My Vote style voting features; escrow transactions and basic payment channels; a full micropayment network à la Bitcoin's lightning network; LS-LMSR prediction markets; Augur-like decentralized oracles; and more.

You mention LS-LMSR prediction markets / Augur-like decentralized oracles...

I wonder if this sort of thing could/should be utilised by Bitshares to aid decision making when it comes to voting on important issues. People often make poor decisions, and I'd hate to see voting done with a 'herd mentality', leading to decisions which are sub-optimal or harmful for BitShares. Knowing a little about Liquidity-Sensitive Logarithmic Market Scoring Rule prediction markets, it seems this could help people to vote beneficially. When 2.0 comes, should we set a high priority on getting such a thing implemented within BitShares so that we can use it as a tool to make BitShares even better?

I believe some huge companies make decisions by allowing employees to bet using prediction makets. I did a quick Google and found this article.

I'm not talking only about creating a prediction market...

I'm talking of using it specifically in order to optimise the development of BitShares itself!

Has this been discussed at any length in the forum? I'm tempted to start a new topic if not...

I have a question. How will you be the counting posts? Have you written a script? I notice the signature is applied to a user's old posts too. I assume you'll count posts made after the forum member has 'signed up' in this thread. I'm just curious.

Another thing - are you sure you can afford this? Might you need to apply a cap somehow, or ask people to volunteer to do it for free?
What if NameNarwhal creates accounts called MetaexchangeSignatureNarwhal0, MetaexchangeSignatureNarwhal1, MetaexchangeSignatureNarwhal2, MetaexchangeSignatureNarwhal3... :P

143
we need to advertise and we want to give it back to the community, so leaves us with the signature idea :D

thanks everyone for the inputs, support and use of metaexchange so far !

Do you ever go on the letstalkbitcoin forum? People have used this kind of signature advertising there. Are you doing this outside of  bitsharestalk at all?

Random Discussion / SourceForge is broken since yesterday...
« on: July 17, 2015, 05:55:45 pm »
What On Earth is going on?
The sourceforge.net website is temporarily in static offline mode.
Only a very limited set of project pages are available until the main website returns to service.


Here's the twitter feed.

I just started looking at an interesting project a few days ago (never really paid attention to SourceForge before) and SourceForge has broken!

What are the differences and similarities between github and sourceforge? I'm not knowledgeable.
Hopefully shit like this will be avoided in the future as things progress with the decentralisation and anti-fragility type movements...

+5%

I was so tempted to post just the above  +5% and leave it at that for the sake of irony.

I've decided instead to create an exceptionally constructive post ( :P) by pointing out what I see as the opposite ends of the spectrum.

  • It can legitimately be argued that these signatures will detract from the ambiance in the forum by 'cheapening' the atmosphere and annoying people.

  • It can legitimately be argued that these signatures will remind people of a decent on ramp, and will therefore serve to benefit the BitShares ecosystem as a whole. It will also help those who put time and effort into creating metaexchange, which may motivate them further to continue doing good work for BitShares.

Where do I fit on the spectrum? Dunno - I JUST WANT MY BTS REWARD!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

It remains to be seen how aggravating the signatures will be. I'm gonna do it for the time being and see how it goes...

edit: although this is a good question:
I thought you guys act as a BitShares <> other coins exchange?

was there a shift in your PR?

It should be possible to produce a decent system for off-chain micro-transactions. Transactions can be brought on-chain once the transaction value has stacked up, so that the fee is not prohibitive.
  • Has consideration gone into the features of BitShares 2.0 transactions and account settings with this in mind?
  • Will Cryptonomex build a system for micro-transactions to complement the BitShares blockchain in order to enhance it's competitive edge? (Bitcoin seems to be ahead in this area)

N.B. It'd be pretty cool to see micro-tipping with BROWNIE.PTS too.

I think there are at least a couple of ways of going about making a tool like this...

You need to file a formal complaint with the Bureau of Cryptocurrency Control. I don't think they read this message board.
We should fire the CEO of BitShares ASAP!

I concur! FIRE CEO OF BITSHARES!  +5%

Who is this mythical CEO?

I'm pretty sure it's some kind of Cypher-Encrypted Organism.

(But it could be a Completely Enigmatic Oracle)

Random Discussion / Re: Lavaboom email
« on: July 11, 2015, 01:11:22 pm »
I found out about Lavaboom at https://www.privacytools.io/, which in itself is worth a look.

do you have an invite code? :)

No, but it looks like anyone can reserve a username at this point if you provide them with another email address. I got this:

Quote
Nice one!
Your username has been reserved.

We have just sent an email to

******@protonmail.ch

We are currently in a closed beta and rolling out account invitations gradually. The email you will receive will tell you how long the wait time is.

I've not received an email yet though. I think when I get the email it may have an invite code in it because the next screen after the one I quoted above allows you to 'Verify invite code'.

how is it different from protonmail.ch or tutanota.de?

Copying and pasting sections from the reddit thread:

Question: How does your service stack up against 'competitors' such as tutanota and protonmail?

Various answers:
  • Protonmail is closed source software.
    Tutonota isn't as focused on the easy to use interface
  • This is the main difference between us and Tutanota is that we're creating an email service for Average Joe, not Richard Stallman.
  • Lavaboom is incredibly easy to use. You can leave it in "automatic mode" and use it like you would Gmail, and still get an extremely secure zero-knowledge email account (and free PGP matching Lavaboom accounts - and soon any email service). Or you can set it up to offer paranoid-levels of privacy, with manual key management - and soon hardware encryption. No other provider comes close to this.
