 +5% I think that's a great idea.

I would only have 2-3 main threads though.

Too many threads comes across 'spammy' but 2/3 threads that have loads of BitShares enthusiasts will make a huge different to the general perception imo.

The wallet will not open for me on Windows....it crashes every single time
\
what is the error?

See my post history. I'm sure it's the same problem I've had.

yes it is the same problem....have you been able to find a remedy?

Does not work for me.

I get the same issue on windows, the wallet software appears to install ok but when you run it, it shuts down almost instantly.

Mine was working fine all day but now it shuts down almost instantly as well.  maybe they are working on some issues.
GALT, are you using win7? or what version?

I am facing the same problem.The wallet crashes instantly. I tried it on win8 64 bit and win7 64 bit as well but to no avail. Are their any prerequisites for installing the wallet?

 +5% I would pimp the S*** out this wallet if I could open & use it.

Win 7 64 bit for me.

Yeah, I agree.

I said it was 'holding up pretty well' but I have to admit the Chinese market is rocking! Big sellers but some big buyers too!
Enough people 'get it' there for sure!

CNY $ traded volume for BTSX has been huge in the last 24 hours!

Yeah there was always a chance there would be a dip when the exchanges allowed deposits. (A lot of supply up for sale at once.) It's actually holding up pretty well.

It's strange when you consider the amount of IPO'S where investors/donators make money from weak products, and now you have the most awesome product ever, where people have had their money tied up for months and the fact that some IPO investors & donators have lost money is obviously disappointing. 

I think it's possible this could go down in the record books as an um, 'significant' marketing failure. 
The 'mainstream' audience they were targeting obviously haven't shown up at the exchanges.
In terms of a marketing strategy targeting the alt-coin market,  the people who would be buying BTSX at this stage, until the last month when a handful of people started posting on forums trying to inform people and create a buzz there was literally no BTT/forum based marketing campaign.

Having said that I'm INCREDIBLY confident in BTSX. This is just going to have to be one of the times where the product sells itself.

The info website has a great look http://bitshares-x.info/ and once people start downloading the wallet and chatting about it. It's going to the moon.

Edit: I will be shocked if BitShares X isn't sitting at, at least no. 5 in a week or two.

Where did all the other of the 2 billion shares go?
Just a rescale .. If you originally hat 50 BTS you now have 50,000 BTSX .. nothing more

Yeah it was a rescale instead of dividing total units into 4 million, 2 million each to AGS & PTS they've divided it into 2 billion units. 1 billion units each to AGS & PTS.

So I think 50 BTS is now worth 25 000  BTSX

I forget the official reason for the change but I thought it was a good one as it's pretty obvious to me X will have a CAP of a few $billion + pretty soon. So the amount of units will at least make it easier to work with for a while.

So 10% of the shares went to ags and protoshare donators  right?  Who owns the other 90% of the shares, and when will they be moved into circulation?

100% went to AGS and protoshares (50% each) Now that BTC38 and bter are accepting deposits they are all in potential circulation.

(The initial problem was that until a few hours ago the only shares being traded were a portion of the BTSX allocated via protoshares that bter & BTC38 had specifically on their exchanges on 28/02. Now they are accepting deposits, hence the spike in volume you see.)

However to my knowledge none of the exchanges are accepting deposits yet.


No the whole discussion is pointless. Go relist it.
It is trading with deposits/withdrawals  on BTC38 already.

Great.  (It's been listed for me the entire time, was never delisted.)

@ Brent now that BTSX is trading with deposits & withdrawals the current listing of 2 Billion units is correct imo. Nothing to change.

About 10% or  ~200,000,000 BTSX =1.28*500*(52,349.50+258,761.354799) of the total of  2 Billion shares/coins are currently traded at the exchanges.

IMHO, updating to this number now would be even more confusing, than doing nothing.

The biggest BTSX holder of course is the AGS fund. I am only guessing about that!

So for those that want to know how many shares were initially seeded in the block chain, how many shares are available in circulation now, how many will be moved into circulation, when and why, and who owns the majority of these, where can we get this kind of information?

Brent

The owners are people who donated to BitShares-AGS prior to 28/02/2014 and people who were holding BitShares-PTS on 28/02/2014 at I forget what time.  50% was awarded to AGS & 50% to PTS. A few thousand BTC was raised in this process I'm not sure of the total. There were 2 Billion BTSX issued.

The wallet is available meaning all the owners can now access their BTSX.

However to my knowledge none of the exchanges are accepting deposits yet.

The BTSX being traded on exchanges is BTSX that was awarded to people who held BitShares-PTS on those exchanges on the date & time of the snapshot on 28/02/2014

@ Clout - I massively respect you but in this situation I strongly disagree with nearly everything you've said. I also think you should have waited till one of the main devs confirmed it was OK to list as Coinmarketcap.com is a big move for other reasons as well. But I've said most of my piece on it already & it looks like it's staying up. No need for me to pursue this further. It is what it is now.

Coming Soon...
http://cassyo.cc/labs/btsx/index.php

 +5% +5% +5% +5% +5%

Yeah I already  +5% to it, but I REALLY like it! GREAT Job!

Thoughts -  Is the font going to be smoothed and maybe given a shadow/border? It looks a little jagged (on the main slogan) & the writing in front of the laptop could stand out more.

Other
-Eventually it would be nice if the screen in the background was maybe showing a share/trading price graph as well?
- I like 'crypto equities' but does that say enough about how X is different? People wouldn't have a clue what 'Market-Pegged BitAssets' are probably so crypto equities may be best.

Thanks for that! So I cant acquire AGS anymore? Will they be traded?

No, they're illiquid. If you have AGS you will be allocated shares in all the DAC's coming up which will be tradeable.

So did you buy your PTS before the X snapshot? If so you have a lot of bigger problems now to worry about than an update on PTS   :'(  Now you need be asking yourself some of the hard tough soul searching questions many in your shoes will be confronted with for the first time in the next year  :( Which Yacht should I buy? Do I want to go into Space? Which Victoria's Secret model do I want to date?  Which school in Africa should I fund?  :)

don't toy with me Empirical...

+5% To the new info site.

I think dacsunlimited may have an aesthetic to appeals to Eastern internet users.  So while we might think it looks weird or whatever, it might very well fall completely within the expectations of Chinese web users.

 +5% That's what I thought too.

BitShares X has incorrectly/mistakenly listed on Coinmarketcap stating a share supply of 2 Billion but the actual potential supply is probably closer to 10% of that.

By all means.   I re-iterate my call.  Can someone provide some kind of URL to some verifiable proof of just how many coins are on the chain, so we can get it updated and validated?

And who are the major obvious share holders of what is on the chain, now?

Brent allsop

There are 2 Billion coins (less burning) on the chain I think, it's just that until one of the exchanges starts allowing for deposits & withdrawals, the amount that's currently being traded on the exchanges is being derived from the PTS people had on those particular exchanges at the end of Feb. (So a very small portion of that 2 Billion)

Sorry I don't know the % of any of the major shareholders there might be one big one if I recall of 5-10% but the rest are below that I believe.

The July Newsletter is quite good for update http://bitshares.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/News-Letter-08-July-2014.pdf

Quote
Here is a list of the independent developer-operators who are working to release a DAC this year
and have committed to honor PTS and AGS holders with at least 10% of their bitshares. This is a
very good trend, don’t you think?
• FreeTrade will release Lotto Shares.
• Toast will releast BitShares.p2p
• Hackfisher will release BitShares Lotto.
• Eddie and Cob will release BitShares Music.
• Follow My Vote (followmyvote.com) will release a voting DAC.
• DACs Unlimited (dacsunlimited.com) will release BitShares X.

LottoShares was snapshotted (10% to PTS) last month I think, so you will be able to claim those sometime.

PTS has been rated buy by Cryptoanalytics https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=5707.msg76987#msg76987

Even if you bought after X, the DPOS blockchains which are in action now and proving themselves also reflect very positively on all the DAC's that will use them.

Negative

No clarity on % PTS will get from the Above DAC's. (Obviously the difference between 10% & 40% is huge.)

No credible/traditional business plans presented for any of the upcoming DAC's. BitShares Music does have someone who talks the talk, very strong on marketing and has a lot of relevant experience in the field the DAC will be entering so while initially skeptical I'm pretty excited about that one.

In general I would personally say PTS is undervalued and would expect it to be worth at least double (When taking into account shares you get via snapshots) by the end of the year. 

Edit: Oh and AGS donations closed a few days ago, which is obviously good for PTS demand and price.
