@abit @JonnyBitcoin @svk

Actually here is how is this done... smoothly. Courtesy of sports-owner. Pay attention to the fee.

1.
http://cryptofresh.com/tx/82ed3de6a98c6cf8a5cdf69afd956bdfa0eb2331 -> Show raw transaction
2.
 then cancel.
Yes that's it.

Is there a proper withdrawal function being planned/in the pipeline?

Why? What is wrong with this one?

It is working... at least

very much unlike:

-my win witness_node

-my Ubuntu witness_node

-my  Ubuntu light client

-my Ubuntu Chrome wallet

Should I post a link for each and every not working feature...again?

General Discussion / Re: bitSHARES - As True Shares and Not a Currency!
« on: February 26, 2016, 07:32:08 pm »
Any way, I will not be responding in this thread anymore. It is useless. It is either a very bad idea or an idea that is just too early for BTS to grasp and realize...  Assuming it is the former I have no desire my effort to improve BTS to be largely viewed as some form of attack on BTS.

@abit Thank you for fully explaining one of the arguments I was trying to make upthread... I was too lazy to do so. :)

Yes, this works - good job with the reasoning, I thought it was impossible outright... What a lot of effort for the exchange to go to, though? And imagine trying to telegraph that to users!
You are right, it does take some work to set this up. This was why I thought someone could monopolize the market by being the first mover in developing something such as this. Considering market activity centralized around the most liquid exchange, it would likely not be worth it for someone to design and develop a competing system.

Regarding conceptualizing it to the users... I don't think they need to. It is really not much different from poloBTS as it exists now. Either way you are subject to inherent risks of a centralized exchange.

I do not know what we are talking about here? It was posted by BM as the first ever response in this thread. And yes this is the detail explanation on how it works (sorry thought it is obvious)

And I did respond to your particular reiteration coinhorder. Yes it is possible and yes I do find it unlikely, but if an exchange put the effort to expose the dex as a prerequisite to deposit a coin (BTS) into their centralized exchange? Wonderful! Thanks for the support and effort put into it. [the fact still remains it will not be the real BTS but a derivative... fact even more clearly shown to the user while the use is seen/learning the dex as a necessary step to deposit. Nice for BTS]

So... no one is going to consider BM'S very valid concern that essentially this proposal creates a "walled garden" in between Bitshares and the rest of the crypto currency community?


It would completely kill Bitshares imo.  We need bitshares to take advantage of the gateways to the outside world provided by other crypto, not shut them off.


Tonyk's idea was actually a trick to try to get us to destroy bitshares, maybe so he can buy back in at 10% of the price and then try to get the change reverted or something.

Nice conspiracy theory!
And I decided to do this using total community driven way and execution over which I have no control what so ever?
OP of https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21558.0.html

No I truly believe it is a very sound way to do it better and hoped BTS itself can do it, but there is such thing as ideas being  too early ...
Next best thing was totally community driven second chain testing the theory independently of BTS.... as there are no sign ups for this community driven effort it is obviously not wanted either.  I have no intention to force it on anybody. The side effect of not trying it as a community at  almost 100% sharedrop for active community, even if you do not contribute a penny... well they should be obvious.

And there is also such a thing as bad idea, I do not see is as such but I am just one man and can be totally wrong.

Yes, really nice analysis indeed.  I'm almost at the point where I would support this wholeheartedly.  Although I'd really like to hear the opinions of some of the other reasonable, rational people around here.  Also, I did have a couple more questions on the other thread:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21597.msg281941.html#msg281941

By the way, tony claimed this proposal would cost 40% of total worker funds.  But it's actually more like 33%.  We can also cut the yield in half, so in that case we're looking at less than 17%.  I think that's a small price to pay to help bootstrap the DEX.  C'mon people, we need to take action here, otherwise we'll just fade away!

well, 38.9 but if in your math world 38.9 is closer to 33 than 40, sure.

and why we stop ourselves at cutting the yield in halve? we can divide it by 4, 8 or even 32.

----------------------

btc yield hardly ever falls below 40%*
we for sure will beat that with 2.5% interest on bitAssests....cause we are decentralized and we have proven this beats the hell out of centralized exchanges any time.

*Interesting enough if BTC  did not have that "no dilution, dilution thingy" , you know the same "hard cap total, the  BTS has,  and steady supply of new minted coins"... it will never have this ridiculous interest, but instead a much higher price.

But all we can do is copy the bad (like 5 years old bad, which in crypto terms is 50 or 75 years old bad)...

General Discussion / Re: Annoying problem matching orders
« on: February 25, 2016, 10:59:42 pm »
Bitshares is awesome, just needs a little work here and there and more people willing to put money into the system to trade. i'd be happy to help you with some trading basics if you're still interested in playing around with the system. i think it's worth it long run and my money is where my mouth is, which should count for something.

Placing orders is the fundamental thing, I can't imagine how they could not fix it, if it was well known for some time. I guess I'll give it a try again, now when I know that it should be possible somehow in the end.
Where I can find information about OPEN.BTC, BTC, bitBTC currencies?

In all likelihood it is 100% my fault.
I have complained about this at least 7 time during BTS 1.0....and me complaining about something is sure way for an issue to quickly loose priority...to be totally honest they finally  'fixed' it...by making the auto-fill to use bigger amount than required, bigger then required by quite a few more than just a few sat...
So, just as an advice try the auto-fill for not the first but some other order...if you do not like it - as I said it is better for you to bring the issue and not me...

I think it is js not having a native library for fixed point calculations (I believe the CLI written in C++ has no such issue)

----------
OPEN.BTC is token (user issued asset) of OpenLedger
bitBTC has symbol BTC , so do not expect to find any bitBTC (in the GUI or CLI)

@xeroc - you should get paid.

What is more you should get pad not at 50% rate but at 100%!

You should not ask BM to not vote for you if he does find your work bringing more value than your pay. My guess is - he does.

You should not ask alt to not vote against your worker - he has a perfectly valid argument too. Start up shares do not end up being sold the second an employee gets his paycheck.

So where all this fails? I think, in You assuming that BTS has a system to finance itself! When in reality it doesn't. It has a very good tool, to archive such start up financing though. What is missing from it (the extra step needed for this to be true financing of a start up) - the long term capital willing to hodl BTS for at least 2-3 years, while paying you the full deserved salary.

How can we do that (my thoughts, there might be better plans)?
- directly locking the worker pay(probably using 1.3-1.5 bigger pay than what they do pay you) for 2-3 years for willing investors; while those investors pay you directly.
- selling an asset backed/receiving said 1.3-1.5x locked BTS; while you receive the proceeds (in bitEUR or BTS) from the asset sale.

Empirical regardless of merits this will never be tried. It takes 40% of the dev fund. And it cannot be stopped at 6 mo. if it is seen as working. cause the bootstrapping phase will have just begun. It will take years. I know you took one number from a post of bm's as an argument, but in fact the other (market maker) liquidity measure can run on much much less than that number. You took it at face value and run with it.

So, working or not this is untestable,imo.

This can also be done for less.  But you just took the one number at face value and ran with it.  Also, I love how you argue against this proposal because if it works, we won't stop it.  That's brilliant, tony.

Are you gonna stop putting words in my mouth and twisting facts...like ever?
Where did  you see me arguing against the proposal?

paging @jcalfee1 @valzav and @svk
To me this seems to be an issue with your local database.
It could probably be fixed by making a backup and creating a new wallet from the backup.
I cannot make a backup cause this is the first wallet for this browser (and OS for that matter), all I can do is go under win and make another backup, but I have tried several backup files made under win already.
