General Discussion / Titan push?

« on: September 16, 2014, 08:42:47 pm »

Personally, this seems like a great point to make to anyone when speaking to the altcoin community.
A big seller for many of these alt coins is the thought of anonymity and transferring coins with out a trace or identification.

Just curious if this is being pushed or spread in anyway or if the collective bitshares community is holding off on the marketing to alt coin holders?

General Discussion / Proof of Ownership?

« on: August 05, 2014, 12:50:56 pm »

Hope it's okay to start another topic here as this has been one of my other ideas regarding the blockchain.

How this thought started: Let's say I'm an artist (which I am) and I am selling my work in editions of 10 (which I do) and I'd like to provide someone with proof of ownership that's backed up by the blockchain. Wouldn't I be able to stamp/print onto artwork a QR code that could be embedded into the blockchain, and when a sale occurs, the transfer of ownership would be the "proof" you own it?
Problem: Would it be possible to forge a QR code and would the idea of having this transaction on the blockchain help with that? No one is forging my artwork now, but from what I know about the art world, the more exclusivity there is the better the price I can sell my pieces for. Anyhow...

I'm thinking this may even be more applicable to a car or something. Rather than just serial number, you could print the QR code and provide a transaction of ownership from dealer to new owner, this could in turn speed up the registration process at the DMV and all that as scanning the code takes seconds and can be done from anywhere. When a car is stolen or whatever, you could even have a QR code on a license plate that the police could scan from in their vehicle and check for violations/being stolen/etc.

Edit: Even something as simple as a bicycle, or a camera, or anything really. Serial codes could be printed below the QR code, then when a sale is made of the object, the QR code is part of the sale but must be transferred via blockchain to be activated since the "token" would be in possession of the owner of said object. If you have E-bay for example, one the item is sold, the QR code would have to be input into the site to transfer ownership, I mean, it could be used on a house, on tickets to a basketball game etc. In my mind I'm imagining something like a hierarchy that could happen as well if you really want to chase this thought further. You checkout your groceries, or your holiday shopping from a store and you purchased lots of things, well you get one QR code that would have all of the items sold stored in the one code. It could help with budgeting as it could record whatever you're spending your money on as well. The ease of use I imagine is probably very far off, but if you could go into the store, pick up your items, walk past the register, scan your BTC or whatever coin, have the transaction take place and have a receipt that has proof of ownership on it, walk to your car and see a total tally of how and what your spent your money on this day/week/month/year.

Thanks.

General Discussion / Bitshares Go

« on: August 04, 2014, 10:20:24 pm »

Hi,

I'm terrible at anything technical, I cannot code, and I often am blown away by the conversations and thoughts/ideas that are brought up in this forum.

Here's a thought:

Bitshares Go or Bitshare Ride.

This would be a DAC that sponsors riders/athletes who are competitive in their field but don't participate in traditional sports. Think Extreme sports and how they're often or almost exclusively done by one participant.

I come from the surf world where travel is one of the biggest humps to get over as a rider. Plane tickets are often expensive and there's a need for sponsorship if you're trying to pursue some sort of career in the field. Often surfers must take it upon themselves, and I'm sure it's the same in other sports, to find their own sponsorship and create that path themselves.

What if there is a sponsorship DAC? Something you could apply to, upload a resume, allocate yourself shares, and then use the exchange of shares you've created for some value. As you place in events and succeed in your career, the tokens or shares of your talent will rise and fall in value. Imagine a place where a surfer is basically riding on themselves, as they peak, their values rise, if they win a competition, maybe the value rises, if they get a DUI and screw up their career, it falls.

Am I way off the mark?

Thanks!

BitShares AGS / I still struggle understanding

« on: March 21, 2014, 06:15:34 pm »

I've donated/purchased/invested into the AGS program. From what I understand, I've purchased by donating bitcoin, angelshares. Angelshares will give me Bitshares in 120+ days? If I had gotten in on PTS before the 28th of February, I would have gotten 1.33x Bitshares to my PTS holdings at that moment and I would have kept my PTS as well? PTS are also valulable oncw DACs come out? I'm so sorry that I'm confused and don't understand exactly. I thought I grasped this for a couple of days but then after rethinking it all over I'm not understand what I get on my investment/donation.
