Quote from: xeroc on November 06, 2015, 10:09:50 amI don't think it's required but: I can confirm everyting Stan said above.IMHO, we position ourselves very well in the websummit. So many people will think of BitShares and Cryptonomex when they hear about bitcoin and blockchain tech.From what I experienced this year, the topic blockchain will grow big time until next year and we have an information head-start of at least one-year, and a technology head-start of at least 2 years!Oh, btw .. did I tell you that there was sooo many startups searching for a a) payment solution that is cheaper than stripe?b) a blockchain that keeps consistent no matter what?c) check out this: www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2015-249.html and try to figure out what payment solution fits that use-case best!?I think we should get our "ducks in a row" for merchants, i.e. we need to have documentation and video tutorials to make it easy for merchants to adopt our product. Stripe is doing a good job at this. The bad about Stripe is that their fees are high, up there with normal institutions like Paypal, etc.Does anyone have any material to present to merchants? I am willing to help put stuff together.One way we can make Bitshares take off is by targeting merchants (a worldwide opportunity).

Justified or not, it's good to hear about your efforts. What more can you do than roll your sleeves up, keep going and try to do better? Isn't that what we are all doing? Actions speak louder than words anyway.THIS! - pinged you via skype @MarkLyford

AND they know how the blockchain technology can solve their problems!I've seen Michael market the whole idea to people I would a) never have imaged would need that tech and b) would never have dared to even try talk to them ..We can be EXTREMELY happy to have those to on board!
Actions speak louder than words anyway.
Great work everyone! Really exciting!Wanted to thank Mark Lyford especially....you and your team have had a tough time of it lately. Justified or not, it's good to hear about your efforts.

Got several sit-down sessions with VC's one of which lasted over two hours. All of these contacts will require a long process of follow-up relationship building, but we are off to a great start. Meanwhile, Michael, Mark and McKenna got selected as "one of the top ten most innovative start-ups" out of 600 putting their project and BitShares in the bright lights on the big stage. If even 1 of the many you mentioned joins, it's already worth it! I believe the banks are interested because of R3, ILP, etc. I would love them to join us as to compete with them but I don't have hopes to be honest. Wondering who is that shocking wild-card would love to know more but I guess you cant/shouldnt disclose who you talked to, at least not soon.One more question about something I was somewhat disappointed. Why are your beers full? Other than that, good job

we want to know who you talked to, who showed interest
Had another great day. Soooooo many contacts to follow up - we'll be traveling for months.Special thanks to Xeroc for making friends with a Bitcoin investor after dueling with him for an hour or more. The rest of us were in awe - and bought him dinner for his efforts.He spent most of his time spinning in the air above his worthy opponent.Extra special thanks to Mark Lyford who was a bloody referral engine. Half the people who showed up at his Remittio booth got referred to Cryptonomex for enhanced interrogation.And then there's Max Wright and Michael X who are true masters at all this."This is a blues riff in B, watch me for the changes and try to keep up."I also attended.
Wooo! Looking forward to more photos... Wish we could be there as roving documentarians... perhaps next year! Take some video with that phone of yours and we can work it into a future episode.. of something! Hope you're kicking back with your feet up and enjoying some of Ireland's finest!
