whaleshares & sharebits!

I wonder if whaleshares will cover golos too?

hehe...you guys are quick

Well please dont leave the forums altogether!

Thank you for bringing your skills buddy.
Bitshares gained alot of value the day you made wangchange! 
Hope people will look into your videos and maybe the community would be interested in putting together a worker proposal for you to make some sick bitshares videos. 

Cool, can we tip any asset via the forum?

Not yet. And if forums change as proposed more and more on the forums, maybe not all.

Following the discussions in the last mumbles and the old threads by Bitsapphire I created a short summary of potential software we could use.

The idea is to streamline communication and improve the exchange between the different communities around the world. One of the goals was the to find a translation plugin, that will help us to talk better with the Chinese community. Further upgrading the forum software will send a strong signal that BitShares is active and improving.

What is wrong with the current forum?
Since Bitshapphire is not active anymore in the BitShares Community anymore, it would be better to have an active community member hosting the forum and be in charge of the maintenance. The goal is so to keep the forum 99% online.

Who could host it?
An active member of the BitShares community, let us discuss who could be suitable.

What are the current hosting costs?
50-60 Euro per month according to Bitsapphire

What happens with the current posts, ranks, and the old forum?
I found this guide for Discourse How to import Simple Machine to Discourse
We can probably import everything to the new forum and put the old posts in an archive.

Why now?
If not now, then never.

The two forums that would suit us the best:
1. Discourse http://www.discourse.org/
Demo: https://meta.discourse.org/

Plug-ins:

• Translation plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-translator/32630
• Chat/Trollbox plug in: https://meta.discourse.org/t/babble-a-chat-plugin/31753
• Meetup Plugin: https://meta.discourse.org/t/local-meetup-events-plugin/24430

Very cool, Discourse also has a google translate plugin, which could help us to talk better with China.

2. NodeBB https://nodebb.org/
Demo: http://forum.expii.com/

Plug-ins:

• https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-meetup
• https://www.npmjs.com/package/nodebb-plugin-newsletter

3. Simple Machines Forum (currently used) www.simplemachines.org



Happy voting and a good discussion!

ps.: My favorite is discourse

Seem to have missed phpbb forums i added. Can we please add it? It is not the prettiest forum bit has the most tools for community growth and development out of all of them.

I also have been in contact with taulant. He said he has received many requests to be the new owner of the forums, but he and the team decided they would prefer to give to me (I never asked him to own the forums, instead approaching him for the community at large, which is probably why).  After rceiving the forum from taulant I stated out loud to you chris that I am not comfortable with any one entity (no matter how much I personally trust them) to have ownership. Please dont forget this as we move forward.

The reason is actually simple. I also believe this is why taulant and team decided this route. I am interested in opening community discussion about this further when im ready in the coming days. For now please co sider talking amongst yourselves about the best way to give OWNERSHIP to bitshares community as a whole.

(P.S. I trust you to run them personally)

bump this beautiful update.

Beyondbitcoin.io is now up and its content tracks the trends following the beyondbitcoin tag on steemit.  I am starting to see many people blogging about the platforms they love using beyondbitcoin and indeed it is an amazing thing to behold to watch as people join the movement.  However, I still wish to approach the bitshares community because it is where beyondbitoin has grown up and where it intends to someday lay a large quantity of its own tokens. 

So I am hoping I can get people from this community to consider contacting me about writing content for the site so we can make the content the best it can be---and make bitshares community members quite a bit of funds in the process. 

Check out my latest post on steemit: https://steemit.com/beyondbitcoin/@officialfuzzy/news-flash-trending-now-on-beyondbitcoin-io-the-open-source-customizable-steem-front-end

It would be preferable to build a small team from this community to help with covering various crypto projects.
