« on: July 25, 2014, 01:48:26 am »seems many guys have the same error messages, I google it, seems openssl cause the problem, http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
Hi Empirical1, try install the openssl 1.0.1h binaeries from the website, see if it help.
I tried. Now it says

General Discussion / Re: New official support thread on bitcointalk for BitShares X.
« on: July 24, 2014, 10:34:32 pm »I know giveaways are not allowed. What about competitions?
Good question. I'm pretty sure they're ok with that. I think giveaways just end up with 40 page threads of "me too". Go look at the delegate who is offering to airdrop or whatever back to bit*talk.org. That is what they want to avoid. Contests though we could do AFAIK.
Cool. I was thinking I might try an X meme competition or a when will BTSX pass PPC & DRK competition. Any other ideas?
Yea, it basically comes down to memes. We can ask for themed memes. There are also youtube videos/audio.
You could make a wallet and have people try to guess how much is in the wallet. ROFL The closest guess in a week wins !!! Then pay it out and give out the key for anyone to verify. Seems like a giveaway.. but to be perfectly honest, it is a competition.
Lets see... Trivia ? "Name the first development environment and platform used by Dan Larimer" (Not that Dan wishes to be involved..) We can't use googleable stuff.
Cool, I'll sleep on it, I'll just make clear it's a personal competition and not directly related to BitShares so if they delete it or have a problem with it, not the end of the world.

« on: July 24, 2014, 10:23:30 pm »Is anyone else having their withdraw transactions cancelled with the error message "cancelled:BTSX account is not registered or memo is too long"? I didn't add a memo and my account is registered (same name as forum handle). It is especially odd because I was able to successfully send BTSX to my wallet yesterday. I've already submitted a ticket about this on BTER.Yes, me too! Is Bter on a fork!?
Yes same problem.

General Discussion / Re: RDPOS - Recommended Delegated Proof of Stake
« on: July 24, 2014, 05:45:55 pm »Cynical Economy Threat: People will vote for delegates and slates that pay the most for individual votes (not via burn that appreciates everyone, but directly).I'm not too concerned about that. I know miners vote for Ghash.io for example, even to the point it threatens Bitcoin, but now that the people with the power are the shareholders, I don't think we'll see the same results.
Anyone want to walk me through this? I don't understand it, le why
Miners are more like employees & shareholders are owners.
You can tempt employees with better incentives & wages and they will have a limited concern with how it effects the underlying company. Whereas you'd have to provide really amazing incentives to tempt shareholders to accept deals that threaten their larger underlying investment, so much so that it I imagine in theory, it should essentially work out the same cost for an attacker as just buying the shares.
Also with DPOS there's no advantage to big pools or centralisation of delegates, with mining it provides more consistency (finding blocks more frequently) so pools get get bigger without even needing to offer amazing incentives etc.
Edit: Oops centralisation of delegates would make the system cheaper to run so there is an advantage.

Just an idea that delegates could be given more icons to make the selection process easier.
I multi-table online poker, so have to make a lot of quick decisions which I wouldn't be able to do just by looking at people's names. So the poker software takes the players statistics and colour codes them and gives them a few icons. With this system just looking at a few icons you can get a very accurate picture of a player and I imagine the same is true of a delegate. (If you want you can click through and see in more detail.)
So a delegate would choose/system a main icon for them such as a marketing icon, development icon, burning for shareholders icon, pay for votes icon, Charity icon, all rounder icon etc. (Depending where they directed their funds)
Maybe an icon if they have verification of their identity. A video/web presentation icon. Maybe an icon if they are currently endorsed by developers etc. It looks like there are already performance icons which is good etc.

1) Every delegate may optionally specify a slate ID as part of their public data. This slate ID identifies up to 101 delegates supported by that delegate.
2) Every user can select one or more delegates to approve of
3) The wallet will automatically combine the public slates of the delegates that user approves of to produce their votes.
So it's possible to vote for a delegate you like but choose to completely ignore their slate?

« on: July 24, 2014, 03:53:41 pm »What is the nature of the latest crash?
This is probably not the answer your asking for but when you try open it, the splash/main screen appears up for a few seconds then crashes/says it has stopped working.
Wish we were able to reproduce it here... are there any logs in your app data dir?
Sorry not sure what that means.
In my app data folder - BitShares X - Logs - The default log has a whole bunch of stuff written on it when I click.
@ Laow - The BitShare_Client_Exe also does the same thing when I click, starts doing it thing for a few seconds then disappears.
Are only a few people having this problem on windows? Hopefully someone better with computers can communicate the problem, I can literally only point & click when it comes to computers...
(Edit: the other logs are empty except p2p log which says '20140724T155051.931966 th_a open ] loading pending trx... chain_database.cpp:1454' on the text file.)
