I discovered how to switch the explorer view from list to cards, like when viewing witnesses, but how to you switch it back to list view?

I know it is "tomorrow", but is that at midnight tonight, midnight UTC (has that already occurred?) or some other time?

I have never noticed this on any of the VPS systems, but for some unknown reason I can't explain the wallet goes from an unlocked state to a locked state and at the same time block production gets disabled. When this occurs all that is required to resume normal block production is to unlock the wallet.

When I unlock the wallet I set the time for it to remain unlocked to weeks, so that is not the issue.

I'm using different monitoring options in bts_tools than I was on the VPS, and I'm wondering if that might be the cause. It doesn't seem likely, but I'm puzzled by this behavior. It seems to happen every other day or so.

Wackou, I have set the "missed" blocks option in monitoring array, but when this occurs I get no notification, tho blocks are missed. Any ideas why?

For now at least, I'm in the position of evaluating what to do with gentso's portion of delegate pay. I could just keep it until I'm voted out, but somehow I don't think that's what the community wants. So unless or until delegate.verbaltech slips beyond the 101 rank, I will disburse 85% to whoever steps up and demonstrates they deserve it. Post your pitch here. I will post a poll in another thread after the candidates posting here stabilize in a day or 2. Keep in mind I could be voted out at any time, but until then I'll do my best and be responsible with these funds.

The more you can say about how you will be measured and how you will demonstrate progress the better your chances of winning delegate pay.

You should explain how your efforts will help BitShares or the community, be it through increased adoption or any other way you can show value to BitShares shareholders. You'll need more than a dog & pony show or a smiling face and jovial laugh (unless you're able to use them to convince a whale to fund a bunch of work, like building ATMs, hardware wallets, mobilizing a sales force to get merchants to install ATMs etc).

I will post a poll in a new thread and will let the community (well, at least the portion of the community that participates here in the forum) decide where I should disburse these funds.

Regarding the welcoming side of your comments I agree. This community needs to be more welcoming and demonstrate people are welcome here. Like it's been said before there is  and should be no regulations in place preventing people and companies from using this technology. It comes down to the individual then to decide if they get involved on a case by case basis.

I have no opinion one way or the other right now concerning banx.

I do however regarding the above. I agree people should be open minded and welcoming to those that align with the principles of financial freedom, non-violence and personal empowerment, in other words the core philosophy BitShares was built to promote. For those that don't share those ideals I say there's the door, go do your thing on some other playground.

Problem is that some in this community don't value those core beliefs as much as others. To further complicate things the platform itself provides tools that facilitate control by regulators and others that don't value those core beliefs or mistakenly believe that a highly regulated segment can coexist with an unregulated, so called "dark" segment.

I have my doubts about that, but hey - this is an experimental platform for technology as well as governance so I'm willing to see it through and to how it plays out. IMO it's a matter of time before the most powerful force, freedom lovers or regulators, become dominant and push the other group out.

So if anyone sees resistance to the foundational core beliefs that led to the invention of blockchain technology in general and BitShares specifically I say you better expect that here and grow a thicker skin. It shouldn't be personal; anyone that is perceived to assail or be contrary to the core principles that BitShares represents should expect some resistance. It's a matter of protecting the values that provide personal and financial freedom, and that benefits everyone that doesn't want to take advantage or exert control over others.

But alas, many don't understand or care about the core principles and are thus willing to accept regulatory interference under the false assumption it will make them safer and more secure. Others may understand the risks, but acquiesce to regulation to gain more widespread acceptance of BitShares, in hopes they can make big profits and come out ahead in a rigged game by doting their "I"s and crossing their "T"s to avoid the regulator's whims and their thirst for power to control others.

Choose the red pill or blue pill, it's up to you. Like Donald L. Kimball wrote in his book, The Choice, Freedom or Slavery, the choice is ours to make. Please choose wisely.

This sticky will be updated by the mods, which contains a collection of links to specific messages or OPs that raise an issue of policy or procedure. The posts can stay wherever they may be found, anywhere on the forum. If you identify an issue that falls in this category please raise attention to it and it will be added to this index.

To help locating these consider adding "MOD_PPI" somewhere in the text of your post. (Moderator:Policies & Procedures Index).

This initial list concentrates on important topics that raise concerns or express direct questions about policies or procedures. If further discussion needs to take place it should be done in the respective threads, and leave posts in this topic for decisions or a current position statement.

Hopefully over time this list will become a central place to refer to important issues that need to be addressed before BitShares 2.0 is launched.

This strikes to the heart of what we're trying to accomplish with this ecosystem. Most here will not find the perspective foreign, but for those that may this message is for you.

This is a short 16 minute review of the economic philosophy portrayed by Star Trek. It is concise and well articulated. Enjoy!

Here and there I see snippets of things people post that indicate there are more details elsewhere (like this for example: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16794.msg214842.html#msg214842).

I've been reading the announcement pages, and the bitshares.org website but can't find a more detailed source of information.

Where is it and why is it so difficult to find? Shouldn't there be a whitepaper? Shouldn't the "Learn more" links I see point to a repository of definitive (as of this moment) information?

Vikram mentioned that github was to be the new hosting service for BitShares, but the link given in that post just pointed to a github repository, not a document site. That was confusing. Plus I've not seen any other references to github for BitShares 2.0 documentation. I expected to see something similar to this "Read the Docs" website, which can also be edited on github.

I also went over to the github repo for Crytonomex and have been looking around there, including the wiki. Glad I did, there's lots of wonderful details for techies, just not the detail docs I'm trying to find.

Can anyone point me to a website with nitty gritty details? Where did xeroc pull that graphic from?
