1.
Liquidity with more market pairs will attract new traders. Traders on Poloniex for example want to get in and out of a lot of different crypto currencies, they may not care at all about the underlying technology. If BTS can provide a fraction of this, we can attract them as low hanging fruit. We should however be strategic and not have knee jerk reactions how to get this done. Perhaps we can compare the current options (if any are actually required) on this Friday's mumble.
2.
Any updates on API support providing ease of access to developers? Dev's will want something easy to work with and build applications around.
3.
Any chance of integration with something like BitMessage for secure messaging? I keep thinking back to the Keyhotee days and do not see any other crypto going after this feature. Even if this needs to be tied to a third party service like adding a troll box to the exchange.
1. We have many market pairs, however with our current volume we can't support that. I guess we need to start with the most important ones. That's what we are trying to accomplish with all these liquidity incentives discussions lately.
2. Xeroc is doing live coding sessions which should give people an incentive to try it out. It's on youtube. BitShares as an API similar to Poloniex for traders, however that isn't documented yet.
3. Yes, a trollbox would be a great addition, many people have expressed their desire for this feature.
