Look how much fun these guys are having:

Not sure if that would fit into the current price feed mechanism, maybe when prediction markets are working :P

As well as easy deposits/withdrawals, the web wallet needs a decent 4 letter domain name. It deserves more than just being a subdomain at wallet.bitshares.org.

We need a business opportunity inside the wallet, one is lending business for traders.
Like I can lend my bitUSD so traders can short any market trading bitUSD at any price they want with no cover expiration as long as they continue to pay the % fee daily.
Then I can earn daily % of interest with % fee to bitshares as well.  Like how bitfinex,com works, but it is better from decentralized exchanger.

Another business opportunity  is insurance to lenders. 

How nice to invest more fiat money if we have this features in the wallet.

just my +5%

Yes! Unfortunately bond market is post 1.0.

A stock split is when a company divides existing shares into additional shares (you can also do the reverse). The market cap remains the same but the price per share will decrease by the ratio of new shares to old shares.

ETFs or indexes would mitigate this kind of issue though, any individual stock split will have very little effect on the index.

But if we have a BitAsset that tracks an individual share, then this is still a problem. We cant always use indexes.

Maybe one way to solve this problem is to have a BitStock that tracks a portion of the entire market cap of the company, which like you said stays the same after a split.

395
Companies do stock splits when the cost of the share gets too high, because you cant buy half a share. Its psychological. Yes you may be able to buy half a BitAAPL, but the asset that it tracks can only be bought whole.

I think Apple did one around when their stock price was $700.

I also believe we should add stocks as market assets, specifically I'd like to see something like Vanguard ETFs. Google provides realtime stock prices so feeds should not be an issue, the only thing holding us back is the price of registration.

Stock splits are holding us back too. Delegates would have to provide a feed that says when a stock is split, otherwise shorters make 100% instantly.

make the trade experience simple as it is on traditional centralized on-line exchanges

Exactly, thats why Im so excited about the web-based wallet. Bter/cryptsy's cost per new user is so low because they can instantly sign up, deposit and trade. Our web-based wallet is not there yet because there is no clear place to deposit, and there is no trollbox which people are used to seeing in a crypto exchange.

But with just a bit more effort it could get there. We should make it use Metaexchange's api without even having to visit their site. That would lower the cost per new user.

Thanks Bytemaster for this post!

I wish Max would let his guests speak. Hes like RT's answer to Sean Hannity.

Cheap shares!

Market is irrational. Does dogecoin have this rate of development: https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/commits/develop ?

What is your pitch? Tell us what you are going to do for BitShares?

401
Whether this has to be done client-side or built into the blockchain, autobridging would add so much liquidity to the exchange. +5%

Are the devs thinking about doing it?

Coinfloor.co.uk - BTC/GBP exchange based in London.

I met their CEO Mark Lamb at a conference once and started talking about BitShares. He said he was open to adding other crypto of long term value, but he didnt reply back to my email. Maybe you will have better luck: mark _ a t _ coinfloor.co.uk

The addresses that have the vested balances belong to Adam .. no one besides him has access to those funds
Who's dumb decision was that? It should have been structured as a bonus, based on how many US elections Adam can get BitShares used for (0). And whats the point of vesting something if only one person has control?

I didn't even know he returned his shares?! Where is that written?
What I should have said was "forgone his performance-related bonus".

Adam E. has as much incentive as anyone for this price to increase.

So did Brian before he returned his shares. So what?

It's vested over a 2y period and IIRC handed over to Adam .. but can't say for sure ..

Thanks, but arent those 2 things the opposite?

I agree with NewMine's post. Who says he never comes up with positive suggestions.
