I don't know what payouts are we talking about here if in another thread core bitshares dev complains that bitshares reserve can't afford hiring a team of devs to fix essential flaws.

It's absurd to suggest that the BTS DEX cannot afford developers, the reserve pool has hundreds of millions of Dollars in BTS at its disposal. The higher BTS gets in marketcap, the higher the reserve pool becomes.

l did ask them quite  a few times this is Bter last repond
The BTS for DNS is yet to be distributed

If that's what they're telling you, then they're lying.

AFAIK the recent profit of our DAC stems from a giant refund paid by Xeroc's worker. We're far from a situation where the fees regularly exceed our costs.

Your BSIP lacks a solution to the Yield Harvesting problem.

The previous estimate of 1 million BTS in fees per month is approx $320k, given that value was $6k when this thread started I believe the proposal is even more viable. It's up to the committee to figure out fees pegged to the dollar/cny so that we have accurate witness pay (and increased profitability of the DEX).

The BSIP doesn't provide a solution to Yield Harvesting because it doesn't create the issue in the first place. Profits would be sharedropped onto asset holders on a scheduled basis; this proposal is not vulnerable to the 'Yield Harvesting' issue that 'Socialized yield' was.

I'm splitting the BSIP in two - one for UIA, another for MPA.

Count me in!

I'll replicate my post from steemit:

Bitshares Roadmap?

Could we update the Bitshares roadmap https://bitshares.org/roadmap.html ?  The last entry in the current roadmap on the official bitshares website is Feb 2016.

Funding BSIPs/Worker proposals!
We've got this massive reserve pool of funds to potentially fund development - it's literally in the hundreds of millions $ range!

Some may argue that users who fear BTS dilution will reject all worker proposals, however I believe this was only the case a couple years ago for Bytemaster due to political reasons. Given how less BTS will be distributed now due to the current marketcap, this may not be as serious of a concern anymore.

I feel that there are two things blocking worker proposal attempts:
* Inability to create worker proposal via the GUI. ([Bitshares-UI issue raised!](https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-ui/issues/173)
* Having to create a worker proposal to request funds for potentially developing features for the Bitshares DEX. I feel that requesting payment may be a daunting task, putting users off. If we were able to create bounty proposals to advertise the need and support of a potential [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) we'll successfully recruit developers. Thoughts?

Writing up BSIPs after discussion!
After coming up with a great idea, or holding a discussion about a possible idea we need to make a habit of writing up a [BSIP](https://github.com/bitshares/bsips) to get action going on new features.

Case and point, I still need to write up a BSIP for 'Earning interest/dividends on bitassets' (The forum post has 3000+ views and 9 pages! https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,23981.0.html)

"Thanks for the suggestion, I like the idea! Not sure if it's going to be useful (don't have enough understanding of economics yet), but just the fact that we are able to try things like that on BitShares is plain awesome.
A bit busy with the launch of PeerPlays right now, but I'll give it a try soon "

It's be great if the price feed publishing fees were free so that we could have very high frequency HERTZ tokens.

I'll be honest, I don't think stealth features align with the next wave of investors.

I firmly believe the first bitcoin run several years ago was driven by people who were on the bleeding edge of tech. I think the wave of people coming into crypto now is the bleeding edge of finance.

I think these people are going to be traders, hedge funds, venture capital, mutual funds.

They are familiar with trading technologies. They are familiar with transactions per second. (things bitshares has) Secret transactions are not critical to them because they don't exist in our current banking world.

Stealth transactions are not important to the future of bitshares.

Why are stealth transactions valuable to the groups listed?  traders, hedge funds, venture capital, mutual funds

I do think stealth is needed to take marketcap from the anon cryptos, as to why they would want private trading - they might not want their every trade data mined? It is a public ledger after all..

Can you buy stealth tokens? I'd love to own a stake..

Since CNY is one of the most popular smartcoins on the BTS DEX, perhaps it would be wise to use it as the reference asset instead of USD and/or XDR.

It appears to be leading the poll at the moment too.
