Title: Delayed transactions? Multi-step transactions?
Post by: rociy on August 10, 2015, 09:42:16 am

I know BitShares doesn't support a BitCoin-like script mechanism, but nevertheless ... is it possible to:

• Have a delayed transaction? That is, I'd like to transfer 100 BTS from account A to account B, but only 30 days from now.
• Have a multistep transaction? Meaning: I'd like to transfer 50 BTS from account A to account B today, and another 50 BTS a week from today.

Thanks.

Hi Rociy,

currently, the transactions system only allows to specify an expiration time/date. Hence, neither of your both scenarios can currently be reflected in BTS.
However, even though there is no 'script' in BTS, you can still request/code an additional transaction type into the network and ask the shareholders for an hardfork to add your feature to the official protocol.

In contrast to BTC and most other blockchains .. the BTS blockchain tries to be as adaptove as possible, hence everyone could add new features and ask shareholders for approval (on chain)

Having a 'delayed' or 'locked' transaction seem like a useful feature to me. Worth a discussion .. maybe Cryptonomex can code this for you eventually .. maybe you can find someone else ..

Also - I saw BTS 2.0 is 'coming soon'. Do you happen to know how soon is soon?

~3 weeks until we announce the official snapshot date which should be 30 days from announcement. 

I would guess 2 months.

I am confident your guestimations are improving my the minute :P

Anyway, the webwallet is (extremely) promising already!
