General Discussion / Re: Should BTS DEX buy into the EOS ICO?

Given a BSIP explaining the intentions behind buying EOS, perhaps.. otherwise this just looks like gambling.

Looks good thus far, have you considered a worker proposal so you can spend more of your time developing this?
Keep up the great work!

Updated BSIP19 to focus on MPA tokens, looking for feedback. Thanks

« on: June 23, 2017, 01:05:08 am »I don't know what payouts are we talking about here if in another thread core bitshares dev complains that bitshares reserve can't afford hiring a team of devs to fix essential flaws.It's absurd to suggest that the BTS DEX cannot afford developers, the reserve pool has hundreds of millions of Dollars in BTS at its disposal. The higher BTS gets in marketcap, the higher the reserve pool becomes.
So why not start spending these funds for hiring a team of professional developers first?
You don't hire someone without first coming up with tasks for them to perform. I have created a BSIP (working on splitting it in two), thus this feature request has taken a step towards potentially being developed.
Worker proposals can now be created from within the GUI, not just the CLI - we'll likely see more activity.
Point is, if someone's saying that we can't afford 'x' then they're wrong, people just need to take the initiative to work on proposals.

The BSIP doesn't provide a solution to Yield Harvesting because it doesn't create the issue in the first place. Profits would be sharedropped onto asset holders on a scheduled basis; this proposal is not vulnerable to the 'Yield Harvesting' issue that 'Socialized yield' was.
Please explain. AFAICS BSIP-0019 proposes to pay dividends on bitassets (among others).
What stops me from using my BTS for shorting bitassets into existence and keeping them in my wallet, with the goal of collecting dividends for them?
There's nothing preventing you locking up your BTS as smartcoins for the long term, by doing so you are removing BTS from the liquid supply and become eligible for earning dividends.
To avoid abuse of this mechanism we could evaluate the average asset holdings since the last dividend payment or only allocate dividends for the time that these assets have been in an user's wallet for (if the user has held the coins 14 of 30 days in a 30day dividend schedule, they only receive the 14days worth of dividends).

« on: June 21, 2017, 02:36:25 pm »AFAIK the recent profit of our DAC stems from a giant refund paid by Xeroc's worker. We're far from a situation where the fees regularly exceed our costs.The previous estimate of 1 million BTS in fees per month is approx $320k, given that value was $6k when this thread started I believe the proposal is even more viable. It's up to the committee to figure out fees pegged to the dollar/cny so that we have accurate witness pay (and increased profitability of the DEX).
Your BSIP lacks a solution to the Yield Harvesting problem.

« on: June 15, 2017, 11:50:04 pm »
Count me in!
I'll replicate my post from steemit:
Bitshares Roadmap?
Could we update the Bitshares roadmap https://bitshares.org/roadmap.html ? The last entry in the current roadmap on the official bitshares website is Feb 2016.
Funding BSIPs/Worker proposals!
We've got this massive reserve pool of funds to potentially fund development - it's literally in the hundreds of millions $ range!
Some may argue that users who fear BTS dilution will reject all worker proposals, however I believe this was only the case a couple years ago for Bytemaster due to political reasons. Given how less BTS will be distributed now due to the current marketcap, this may not be as serious of a concern anymore.
I feel that there are two things blocking worker proposal attempts:
* Inability to create worker proposal via the GUI. ([Bitshares-UI issue raised!](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues/173)
* Having to create a worker proposal to request funds for potentially developing features for the Bitshares DEX. I feel that requesting payment may be a daunting task, putting users off. If we were able to create bounty proposals to advertise the need and support of a potential [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) we'll successfully recruit developers. Thoughts?
Writing up BSIPs after discussion!
After coming up with a great idea, or holding a discussion about a possible idea we need to make a habit of writing up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) to get action going on new features.
Case and point, I still need to write up a BSIP for 'Earning interest/dividends on bitassets' (The forum post has 3000+ views and 9 pages! https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23981.0.html)

https://github.com/grctest/HERTZ-Price-feed-script/blob/master/min_hertz.hs
I have created a simplified version of the Haskell HERTZ price feed script.
The script no longer scrapes cryptofresh for asset values, doesn't handle json, doesn't output to CSV nor use the turtle library.
The script now runs from the command line and takes 5 arguments:
Since you can now enter values easily from the command line as arguments, it will be easier for everyone to test out their own hertz configurations (different frequencies, amplitudes and backing assets).
Any suggestions?

It's be great if the price feed publishing fees were free so that we could have very high frequency HERTZ tokens.
