they're the one behind BTC38 accepting BitCNY as CNY at 1:1 .

 the meaning is profound  . they're building a killer company to use Bitshares as a crowd funding platform for start up businesses , as following the path set forth by the Chinese prime minister Li .

Just heard , Play sold 1000 BTC and got   1,197,344.88 CNY ,  then they purchase BitCNY with 30,0000 CNY . (about 48543 USD value . )

Why some people say BitUSD will vanish from the ordinary buyer's  after the short position being forced cover ?

I heard this one before .

But from where did they get that impression ?

Something that's not clear in the original whitepaper ?

For those who don't know me yet , I'm the unnamed Wordmaster in this community .

I often debate with dozens of people at once and I still beat them in speed , no matter if they speak Chinese or English , until I finally lost the interest to debate anymore .

I can do that because I can think of so many counter arguments from various aspects once I made a remark and predict what arguments the counter party will be going with. And the rest is just my typing speed and my knowledge in multiple fields .

With that said , yes , eventually , I'm arguing with myself constantly . And quite oddly , I can win in both side of the argument , if I have picked a direction first .

So , that brings out another line of questions :
Is there a "right" opinion ? Is everything just a matter of perspective ? So what's the point of proving something if there are no "right" answers to begin with ?

Somebody might say it's easy to answer :
At the end of the day , those who can produce the most convincing argument wins .

OK , now we're getting somewhere .  ( look , this is the living proof that I can argue with myself on behalf of somebody else ) .

Wait a minute , who will be there to judge which one is more convincing than the other ?

In most scenario , those who applause for you would be the same ones who has the exact idea in mind. Those who disagrees with you , their opinion can only be changed if they believe the same thing as you in their subconscious . 

OK , dude , I must be crazy . If that's the case , what's the point of convincing somebody ?

Here comes the best part :
You only need to convince those people who can offer you the most once they believe in you .

For a insurance agent , he/she should convince their potential clients to buy insurance policies , because that would bring profit for him/her .
For a politician , he/she should convince the people to vote for he/she , because that would make his/her career .

So , what happens to those arguments which won't give you any benefits even if you win them ?

That's a weird question , because like I said before :
everything is about perspective , you can't actually win an argument against everybody . Because they would tell you this sentence repeatly "everything is about perspective"  . 


It's always easier to answer a question instead of act on it .
It's in our nature to grab an existing answer to a question because that answer is always the ground for our previous decision . Without that answer , our decision would be wrong from the start .

So , what happens to communication if everything is about perspective  ?
Perspective can't solve any issue for you , just easier to understand them .
If you can look at things at another perspective in every conflict , then you'll be a very patient and understanding guy .
But does that solve the original conflict and problem ? Well , that's the thing , it doesn't .
Communication should be about improving things , not just about answering and understanding things .

Looking things at another perspective will make you ignore the problem , not solving it .

When people looked at the mining cost at another perspective , they become hard core Bitcoin fans , while the mining are still sucking the blood out of them .

When we looked at lack of marketing at another perspective , we become content with marketcap since "no marketing and still get there , think of what will happen if we have great marketing" , and we lose a great window before the bear market .

When we look at lack of prioritizing at another perspective , we'll think it's ok to drop something for a bit , while it wasn't .

The end

So , you're saying , words and speeches and answers are some sort of game that doesn't change anything ?

It all depends on how you want to proceed .
If you just want to win an argument , then forget it , because you can always win by looking at another perspective .
If you want to get some opinions and review the effort you're doing , try to argue with yourself first with the opinion from those who oppose you .

disclaimer: I had too much coffee tonight .

 :o

The NBT price on CCEDK once down to 0.6 USD , because the BTC-NBT trading bot malfunctioned and the owner decided to pull it off for a while .

Although the price at Bter was normal at that time and resume to normal today , but the news travels fast .

NBT-BTC brought them huge volume these days , but now we can see the risk .....

52
The big boost of the price has clouded our judgement , we talked about prepaid card , we talked about big thing , we talked about how vote is gonna adopted by the government and to the moon .

We might even made wrong decisions base on those phantom .

Now , the phantom is gone .
But oddly , I'm not really sad .

Because , we can finally face the reality .
We don't have enough stable users to sustain this market cap . The BitAssets while working great , it doesn't have enough users .
Ordinary people who downloaded the wallet and lose funds and have to find a computer expert to help them recover it , they will hate
this thing for good and spread the word to their friends .

The fact that we need computer experts to even get a wallet running properly on a home computer . That's not right at all .

We need users and merchants to adopt Bitassets .

This community may not good at keeping its investors , that's a fact that I've been passing around . And I provided help to try to fix that .
But maybe that's the way this community works ? I don't know .  Maybe we still needs time to learn to operate a serious business like this ?
OK , that takes more time and efforts , that this community may not want to pay for .

Say , we will lose investors , but at least we can still attract users and adoptions , right ?

Forget everything that happened in the past few months , forget what we've achieved at the coinmarketcap . 

Forget arguing with Bitcoiners and Proof-of-waste and decentralization , forget BTT debate . Winning those guys does not matter .  (you can argue for a day , and they would still believe in the same thing , otherwise it wouldn't be called believes .)

Instead arguing how we can beat Bitcoin , we pay more effort to convince merchants and users and exchanges to adopt us , for the only reason that this product works .

All the programming heads and designer heads , roll together , make a wallet user happy .

And from what I have known so far , big thing will come , only if we can have a working product to increase our adoption .
(No promise , just a little birdie told me )

This product , is the only thing that will keep us from drowning with the winter of Bitcoin  . Make this product work  , argue its superiority later .

Those developers working so hard on this wallet , keep up the good work . Those who still thinking about debating on Bitcoin related subjects ? Back to work on the wallet , please  .  :P

Some guy covered a short order , and the funds did not return to him .

I noticed there are more command now than what it was a month ago .

So , what's the standard operation for this now ?

1、备份钱包(json格式)到电脑中的其他位置。用文件菜单退出钱包软件。
2、开始----运行----输入  %appdata%/bitshares  ,然后确定。
3、删除peers.leveldb文件夹。
4、重新启动钱包,控制台输入 network_set_advanced_node_parameters  {"desired_number_of_connections":25, "maximum_number_of_connections":25} 
然后回车,看到“ok” 。这个步骤是增加网络节点从而加快同步速度。
5、慢慢等重新同步成功和扫描成功。
6、如果不行,文件菜单退出钱包,然后  开始----运行----输入  %appdata%/bitshares  ,然后确定。在出现的窗口里,删除除了wallet文件夹外的其他东西。然后重复第四步开始。

(其他系统应该也是同一个原理,只不过你需要将第三步的那个步骤改成在其他系统里的data-dir的文件夹,然后再继续操作。)
另外,图形界面控制台的操作是需要输入两次回车,才能成功确认的,第一次回车只是将命令打到文本框里,第二次回车才是真正执行。真正执行后,文本框下面的灰色方框会有相应的提示,最简单的提示就是“ok”  。

This a trail run of this site , we're looking for feed backs (don't hesitate to criticize) .
What you're seeing is only the beginning of a grand plan .

The clipping from the forum just to see the visual effect of the theme , we'll have more original news and articles to fill the void .

I've been in active contact with a Chinese guy who was doing business at many countries in Africa for a long time .

He told me that the Chinese businessmen there are afraid to store mountains of cash due to the bad policing there , several Chinese businessmen have been killed from robbery  .

The Chinese business men there are eager to find an solution for storing and transferring value . The economic size for this demand would be billions of dollars per year .

He's planning on running a delegate to fund his operation on evangelizing BitUSD and BitCNY , and to fund operation for local fiat exchange service there . He's also well connected in that area .

Thoughts ? This might be the big thing we're hoping for , the combination of rich Chinese businessmen and mountains of money and not-so-strict financial jurisdiction . I'll refer your ideas to him .

Coinbase Is Tracking How Users Spend Their Bitcoins
by Carlo Caraluzzo @ 2014-12-28 04:58 PM

Coinbase has recently been demonstrating why consumer regulation is such a problem. The company seems to be tracking what their customers are buying with Bitcoin and closing any accounts involved in transactions that the company objects to.

It is probably no secret that Bitcoiners are not fans of regulation. What is generally misunderstood though is that the aversion is not to regulating in general. We understand that in the real world, the big financial powers are never regulated in a practical sense. Consumers, on the other hand, are heavily regulated.

Regulations are almost never designed to protect the consumer. Instead they are put in place as a way to control the flow of consumer spending and to protect the interests of the financial sector. The New York BitLicense is a good example of this problem, as it was designed to favor credit card companies and put a burden on Bitcoin development and acceptance.

Now Coinbase has been banning user accounts that send Bitcoin to gambling sites, even though online gambling is not illegal. One Reddit user also complained that coinbase banned his account for allegedly purchasing cannabis products with coins purchased from the service.

“I have been a long time coinbase customer, buying 1-3 times per month, I got an e-mail today saying they are banning me from using their services because of a ToS violation. I e-mailed them back to ask what the violations [were] and they told me that they have evidence that I used some of the BTC I bought for cannabis/cannabis seeds. They gave me a specific BTC transaction and said it was for drugs and wouldn't listen to anything I had to say.”
Another user's account was shut down after he was accused of selling coins on LocalBitcoins after purchasing them on Coinbase:

“Because I buy a few bitcoins a week from Coinbase (although sometimes I will go months without buying any) I was flagged as having enough volume to potentially be a Money Services Business (MSB) and the Coinbase ‘compliance team’ mounted an investigation against me. They determined that ‘they have reason to believe’ I am selling Bitcoins on LocalBitcoins, even though they haven't said what that reason is, and therefore are suspending my account.”
Coinbase explains that the company is only trying to stay in compliance with federal anti-money laundering regulations and drug laws. We understand that any company has a fiduciary responsibility to protect the company for its shareholders. But it appears that Coinbase has crossed the line by not only tracking coins purchased through its service, but also tracking how users spend their Bitcoins after withdrawing them from their Coinbase wallets.

These types of practices are the very antithesis of Bitcoin and virtual currencies, and they are the main reasons why most Bitcoin users fear regulation. It is often used to regulate taste rather than safety, and it can also be used by a company to suppress the business of its competitors. These are arbitrary overreactions by a company that fears the laws that they claim to respect.

DAC PLAY / Design proposal : The colorful approaches of on-chain games
« on: December 28, 2014, 05:06:06 pm »
Sic Bo is one of the simplest form of an on-chain game . However this kind of game would be boring , even though some people
mentioned the model of two dice combined ---- still boring .

The following idea came from member "navigator" .

Turn the random number approach into "penguin swing" . "penguin swing" was a popular flash game years ago , I wonder how many people can still remember .

You can play it here :  http://apps.bdimg.com/store/static/kvt/02c1fc2c842609a7171ae16a1d0b2097.swf

In this game , the motion of hitting a  penguin is decided by the player , and how far the penguin would be hit is depended majorly on luck .
In PLAY , how far the penguin will be hit can be determined by the random number , then the game can construct the process of the hit and the
flying path of the penguin to show to the user . It looks like you're predicting how far another individual can hit next time .

We can think of more ideas from this one and see that on-chain games can be colourful , despite with the same core technology , on-chain games can be very entertaining with different approaches.
