Technical Support / Re: Has Graphene development fizzled out ?
« on: March 05, 2016, 04:16:45 pm »

https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene
However the difference between graphene and bitshares-2 repo is relatively small.

Fuzzy said the truth here:
It is a normal part of the products lifecycle to not have as much development once core features are done.

but if you want to look at the newest development that has added stealth tx to bitshares, it might be worth looking around on our forums for it :)
But also not much core code is related to stealth.

Some other work is here: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2-ui/graphs/contributors , which doesn't include UI development of stealth.
Hey looks like i just passed 1000 commits :)

You're a powerhouse :D

Technical Support / Re: Change "TRADE" & "TRANSFER" to "DEX" & "SEND"
« on: March 05, 2016, 12:06:46 pm »
Trade -> Exchange
Transfer -> Send
Explorer -> Dashboard (put Explorer tools on top of the Dashboard)

'

  +5% I suggested this as well

One quick suggestion I would have is merge "dashboard" and "explore" - both of those screens are navigational. Second, I suggest relabel "trade" "Exchange" or "Market." That way there would be three buttons instead of four, "Dashboard" -"Exchange" - "Transfer".

tbone had some objections, and svk mostly agreed: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21612.msg281819.html#msg281819

I also prefer "send" to "transfer." We need input from more people.

I would love to see a slack for Bitshares in general, with channels for development like #plasma, and channels for current issues and ideas (ie pricing etc), this way things are not mixed.

This slack is coming along great, I urge everyone to join in: https://bitshares2.slack.com/

Also, people try to rage-quit while getting crushed by ETH. Blood on the dance floor. :P

As I see it we're the global, open fin-tech platform that the world needs. Financial applications like,

Stock Markets
Bond Markets
Commodity markets
Money markets
Derivatives markets
Futures markets
Insurance markets
Foreign exchange markets

Even micro-finance, currency creation and MAS fits within this branding. We already have everything in line with this, industrial tps/low latency, smartcoins, assets/stocks with dividends, white/blacklisting, decentralized exchange, "share" in our name, and yield/bond market incoming.

The benefit of what Ethereum is doing is that it is much easier to get network effect with a "do fun stuff" platform, than a "serious financial business" platform, so we need to think about how we can engage serious developers,  entrepreneurs and businesses to go with our global, open fin-tech platform when they can go for private or big institution solutions.

General Discussion / Re: What is the reserve pool?
« on: March 02, 2016, 01:03:21 am »
BitShares issues new coins just like Bitcoin, and you can think of the new coins as coming from a "reserve pool." Nobody controls the reserve pool. In Bitcoin it is paid to the miners for securing the network, in BitShares it is paid to witnesses and workers that are voted into their position. In Bitcoin, according to a fixed rate of issuance, there will eventually be 21 million coins while currently the available supply is something like 15 million, so there's 6 million in Bitcoin's "reserve pool." In BitShares the rate of issuance is 5 BTS per block, the available supply is around 2.5 million, with 3.7 million total, so 1.2 million in reserve pool that can be used for witnesses and workers. Keep in mind in BitShares 20% of the fees go back into the reserve pool, and it is possible to vote for workers that put money back into the pool (to lower inflation).

A simple pump and riding the wave means nothing for a solid future.

A simple pump is pretty powerful. If BTS went to 200 mill right now, and then fell down again, all the major players could cash out a three year salary, and still keep 70% of their holdings. That would completely ensure BTS development until it is ready for prime time. It would also generate a massive influx of new users and developers willing to sign up to be a worker and witness. All of this is best achieved if we just suck it up and HODL. The "lock up funds" proposal makes more and more sense, especially in the pump climate that we will be seeing in this space going forward.

@tbone why would you not want buy/sell just below the price chart? btc-e, bittrex, poloniex, yobit, bleutrade etc. does this.. esp for people who have low res, you'd have to scroll down to find the button. makes sense to me both intuitively and to get people to click the buy and sell button.

The way I tend to describe BitShares in meetups is to say that it is focused on being a Gateway to the Cryptoeconomy. That it has a decentralized exchange where you can trade all kinds of cryptocurrencies. Integration with instant exchanges and refinement of the wallet makes this pitch perfect to introduce people to the crypto world via BTS.

Your app/contracts can't be blocked or refused.

I guess that particular difference is mostly negative then. If so we should try to remedy it in some way. And if so we should focus on describing our difference in some other aspect.

Bitcoin is just not as volatile as it used to be, hence MPAs are just not in demand like they once were.

Not as volatile, still very volatile, and we might be in a quiet period. If BTC is going anywhere near a globally significant marketcap, we're still thousands of percent off the mark.

Personally I still believe in the decentralized exchange idea. People are still using centralized exchanges, e.g. i'm using poloniex, btc-e and bittrex myself, even knowing the incredibly high fault-rate of these things. There is a global market for exchange of not only crypto and fiat derivatives, but other mpa's like gold, and the innumerable stocks and assets that can be tracked given a little volume. It's something I would like to see myself, to globally trade and exchange all kinds of things almost instantly, for practically no fees.
