Good exposure for Bitshares.

Also looks like a handy app..

Win/win

Let's try remain to remain civil guys.

Although I must say this.. I just visited Nubits homepage to see what it was all about and I was shocked to see this in large letters.. it is the first thing you see when going to their webpage:

"The World's First Stable Digital Currency"

That is a flat out lie, no? Seeing as though bitUSD has been trading for a while now it seems pretty disrespectful to BitsharesX and bitUSD.

It's not your fault, even before the fork for some reason the explorer shows wrong infos about client versions, % of votes etc... I managed to solve it (the last days)  with refreshing the page several times... Had something to do with the cash memory I think... Right now both explorers don't show accurate infos... participation in reality is near 97 % 

Ok thanks. It seems the issue is with the back explorer.. I didn't notice they were on a fork until after I posted this and saw the thread in general discussion.

Oops I just noticed this..

It seems Bitsharesxblocks may be on a fork, which would probably explain the issue: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=9297.0

Is it just me or is the update version command a little buggy? I was having issues with it the update before last update and somehow updated my pay rate to 1% on accident using the old command...

I didn't know there was a newer and simpler command for it, and that might of been my fault as I didn't realize until a day or two later, but now I'm again having issues with it after today's update to 0.4.17

After today's update I have used all commands as follows multiple times, but with no luck getting it to update on bitsharesblocks.com although it seems like the command executes fine with no errors.

wallet_account_update_registration delegate.coinhoarder delegate.coinhoarder { "version":"0.4.17" } 1
wallet_account_update_registration delegate.coinhoarder delegate.coinhoarder { "version":"v0.4.17" } 1
wallet_publish_version delegate.coinhoarder

The info command shows I am running 0.4.17 yet Bitsharesblocks shows I am running 0.4.16

I didn't have any issues until the update before last, and I have about 475 BTSX in my delegate account so it is not an insufficient funds problem. Is there anything glaring I'm doing wrong regarding the syntax of the commands? What is the command to pull the version from the block chain so I can see if maybe it is an issue with bitsharesblocks?

Haha, good picture.

Admittedly I have lost my cool in that thread a few times, but I try to remain calm and cordial. I only get that way with the most stubborn of people. It is one thing to be wrong, and then when someone point it out to you that you are wrong admitting that you were. I am wrong all the time and when people can convince me that I am wrong I will be the first to admit it, it is a part of learning. It's another thing when someone is wrong and refuses to admit or, or at the very least admit you have a point.

Unfortunately, I have ran into a lot of cases of the latter from the Bitcoin crowd. I'm not saying I am 100% right all the time in terms of Bitcoin's problems and Bitshares's solutions, as some of it is based on speculation as to what will happen in the future, but a lot of people refuse to admit that I at least have somewhat of a point even though they might not agree with it. This is what annoys me.

Quote from: trader

Either that or its become like a cult where you can't question anything. Many cults have pointless rituals like mining.

Bingo

I agree.. I've been debating them non stop for a few days on Bitcointalk and some of them won't budge.

Most think anything that isn't Bitcoin is a scam coin.

Some think that energy has to be consumed in the minting of Bitcoins for them to have any value.

The anarchists seem to really hate DPoS because of the election process.

Some think the exchanges have manipulated the price of PoS coins and this is the only reason for their value.

Others say the rich still get richer because they can vote in delegates controlled by themselves.

A few mentions of DPoS/BitsharesX being like a central bank... we all know how much people hate central banks.

Some think DPoS is subject to social engineering and politics

The point has been made that Delegates likely have less security measures in place and ddos resistance than Bitcoin mining pools.

Some don't understand the need for voting and the reason for only having 101 delegates.

These are some of the most common arguments, and I am not saying they are accurate or I agree with them. Some of the arguments I think I have refuted pretty well, but some just refuse to change their minds no matter what I say.

By the way.. I could use some help in the debate: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770591.0

Big news, this clearly is related to the jump in BTC price.  I doubt it's enough to stimulate a trend reversal.  It could 'buy some time' for the bitcoin price while other developments and hurdles are moved forward with such as the NYDFS bitlisence.  It could easily be back at $400 in a few hours or days, but ya never know.

I speculate this is enough to break Bitcoin out of its downtrend, but that is just speculation and only time will tell. Either way this is big news and I think if Bitcoin rallies, BTSX will benefit from the upswing as well.
