Is this something your plan to be used in STEEMIT?

No sharedrop planned? Is sharedrop theory dead?

The @ symbol will aways mess up any links anyone post here because it wants to link to a forum members. You have to come up with a round about way of doing it.

Hi all, I started a Steem discussion about this topic : https://steemit.com/bitshares/@Chris4210/bitshares

I collected some good ideas and wrote the first texts. Now the next question is, how do we fund the update. Since our current worker situation is limiting us, I will try it with a Steem post. Please vote for the post  . Thank you!!

I'll post the same questions here, that were not responded to at bitcointalk:

This project seems like an overly complicated take on micropayments to which the new currency, Sollars, adds very little (do you have any thoughts on this?).

Good answers to a few questions would help ameliorate my skepticism:

1) You seem to have no experience with any kind of tech startup or blockchain project. Do you bring anything other than marketing to this project?

2) Why should anyone give you/your organization 10-20% of the earnings from their films when this whole payment process could easily be entirely decentralized? What is that fee for and why should it not go to the content creators? In short, why do content creators need you at all?
 
3) You seem to be using terms "DAC" and "blockchain" as equivalents, which is not how I understand them. Could you clarify what you mean by DAC and how a DAC fits into your long term plan?
 
4) Your analogy to Uber is problematic. Anyone with a car can be a taxi driver via Uber. Not just anyone can create high quality media content. Making blockbuster TV shows and films takes massive teams of people and large upfront investments. It seems to me that the success of your project depends crucially on convincing wealthy producers that your system will make them more money than the system already in place. How will you do this?

I'm interested in hearing these answers too.  I scoured all over for the whitepaper that will talk about delivery mechanisms, but couldn't find anything.  There was a reference to "read the whitepaper" at the end of one of the videos, with no link in the youtube description.

If anyone understands what a mammoth undertaking this is...  it's going to take a long time, a lot of money, and a lot of bumps in the road.

If I stood up and said my name is Gary, and I've got a project called Gollars and Gents, to revolutionize the airline industry. Please buy into my ICO, and I'll release the fine details later.  (Right now I just have overview and faq material out), you would all probably tell me to get lost.

Crypto4Ever I'd like to see you try that. Start your own project called Gollars and Gents and see if people will buy into your ICO. I would like to see exactly what happens. Maybe you are just like me and can do exactly what I can do...

Or maybe not.

Everything in life is a mammoth undertaking. That's not new but it is the American way to take that risk and pursue it. And why we stand out from the rest of the world. I am honored that people donated to this project and believed in my ability. At the end that is what will make this project sink or swim.

All questions have been answered either by the current content or the FAQs page which can be found on the OP. I'm working. Regards.

Nope, they have not. I have actually read, for better or worse, most of your blog posts about the project and it is mostly a marketing tool with very little information about the direction of your project. To say that my questions have been answered is disingenuous and the kind of answer you get from a developer who has no answers because they have no project.

Let's take these questions one by one, so it's not as overwhelming. We should start with the simplest and maybe most important question. If you don't have an answer to this, you don't have any way to provide a return to your backers.

Why should anyone give you/your organization 10-20% of the earnings from their films when this whole payment process could easily be entirely decentralized? What is that fee for and why should it not go to the content creators? In short, why do content creators need you at all?

I'll give you two examples to illustrate the problem:

1) Louis CK has a series online called Horace and Pete available for sale through PayPal or Bitcoin. This is a centralized model for selling content that exists right now without Sollywood. What can you offer him in return for the 10-20% fee you propose to take? Why would he, as content creator, provide his content through you?

2) Ujo Music is a decentralized service (a work in progress) that allows direct payments and content distribution between artists and customers without the need for centralized hosting or payment architectures. It will hopefully lead to a sophisticated micropayment system that works behind the scenes, so to speak, so that customers are charged only for the content they consume but without the burden of actively purchasing every piece of content themselves. This will most likely lead to services for other forms of media. THIS is the real "new apple" route that you keep trying to align yourself with. So, again, why would anyone use a service that takes a 10-20% fee when they have this option?

Anyone can sale what they have on their own. Quit easy these days with the internet. But people still flock to pawn shop and auction. Why? Because they have a larger audience then anyone individual could ever have. That why artist will pay an expert a % of their earnings. Artist are experts at making movies. And platform (Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, HBO, Sollywoodtv?) are experts at getting an audience. Win win!

I'm struggling to find a place to post my question - I settled on here!

Yesterday I attempted to deposit 45 BTS to my Sharebits account so that I can make a withdrawal. I used my BitShares Light client, transferred 45 BTS to 'sharebits' and included the memo code from the Sharebits website (where it says 'Use this memo for ALL deposits otherwise your funds may be lost!'). My Sharebits account has not yet been funded...

How can I successfully deposit BTS to Sharebits so that I can make a withdrawal? Did I do something wrong?

(edit: Is it the case that I will need to create and use an Open Ledger account to fund my Sharebits account, rather than using the light wallet?)

Is there a better place to ask this question?

I like using Open Ledger. If you click on the "deposit with OpenLedger" it autofills the memo and send to address.

They most of did some kind of share drop because I got  497.175638  of them in my BTER account.
