It's really unethical to encourage people not to vote and "vote" here instead

I claim it is unethical to vote in a rigged system and thus unwittingly give your support to a corrupt system.   So as long as we are going to be judging people, I think supporting a rigged system is far worse than encouraging people to shun a rigged system.

Says a reporter who comes calling
I would write about this Bit Shares
Replies Byte Master to the reporter
Your national TV network is but a sham
A tool of a government I can not recognize

Unethical it is for me to promote my cause
In your wrap of a fish, your agent of tyranny
Propaganda for a system of violence to control the masses
In my life, there are no banks, no kings, no armies, and no stations
How can we discourse if your existence is ethereal?

Oh wait, I've just dismissed all the institutions
No way remains for me to grow my dream
But say no more, I've made my choice
Standing on principle, I'll close my eyes and see the world as I wish it
Far better I should starve and swing my fists in peace

Aw, maybe I should have swallowed my pride yet again
And played by those rules just a wee bit longer
I could have been king, had I played the contender
The system, it could have crashed down on terms I dictated
Gawd, I sure hope the devs and 'investors' won't mind...me standing on my own behind

Fortunately, he woke up and realized it was all a bad dream. He wiped away the sleep, dismissed it as a cautionary tale, and went forth unto the world with fork in hand. Another chance, thought he. I can still make this happen.

Anecdotic and enlightening.  Worthy of being cast into some great rock

(Assuming Windows)
You can force it to reindex by temporarily changing the properties of the bitshares shortcut icon.

RightClick -> Properties

Target: "c:/.../BitShares.exe"   just insert -rebuild-index  "c:/.../BitShares.exe --rebuild-index"

Click OK then launch from that shortcut

Once started you can remove this change, otherwise it will try and rebuild every time you launch.

I'm on a Mac, any help?

Code: [Select]
./bitshares_client --rebuild-index

Ok I entered that exactly, but no success. What am I doing wrong?

>> ./bitshares_client --rebuild-index

Error: invalid command "./bitshares_client"

What is the command for reindexing database?

I was asked to reindex today, after crashing last night, but I opted not to.  Now I am getting a failure during transaction scanning and not connected.

I've heard you are very good marketer in this way. .. perhaps once marketing begins you'll try to get involved again

Carpet, the things that frustrates me most is that Dan has invented a brilliant product with a lot of room to innovate and monetize; however, Invictus is short a chief marketing officer and a chief software architect. They keep saying hey this is when the vision gets realized and then a benchmark is missed, a brand is diluted or changed, or great partnerships are never established.

Counterparty's work with Overstock is a great example. The CEO is philosophically more with Bitshares than any other venture in the space and the platform is far better to deploy Medici than CP. Vennd.io is another platform that should be in the Bitshares ecosystem.

I do understand that people are working hard and I do admire toast, Stan and Bo Shen for their efforts. I've been there and it's tough as hell building something like this. You feel like you're moving in slow mo when the world is racing past you. Also every mistake becomes a rally point where successes are often overlooked or trivialized. This is why it's essentially that you recruit a great team and hold them to strict metrics. Furthermore as an open sourced project, you need to account for the community's contributions, which is why I mentioned Pieter in the prior post. ZMQ is a very well run OSP.

You might also want to try to get Eric Raymond to lend a hand. http://www.catb.org/esr/writings/cathedral-bazaar/

Hmm.. I feel as though your analysis overlooks the many partnerships that have been established in VOTE, the sun microsystems Aus CEO, MethodX.  As for the sharedrops and other business strategy shifts, startups pivot to get closer to the best path, bitshares is no different.

The only thing I was complimenting you on was your ability to rub elbows with high-popularity technologists and journalists.  Don't see why you needed to rant on Dan like that.  I get the sense that you don't want to contribute because of Dan.  However, this is open-source, self-funded, and unstoppable at this point.  From here on, all of us are either helping bring the product to the masses or standing on the sideline.  The choice is yours alone.

Allies are easy enough to find, but you have to have vision and proper execution to actually utilize them. You have to say hey in a year we will be here and accomplish this and within three years we'll be there. Then people with like goals will naturally be drawn to your movement.

General Discussion / forum members - fakes
« on: November 27, 2014, 01:41:27 pm »
Are any mods actively trying to delete fake members?

I just looked up a fake that appeared months ago... GGellert, and it's still here

If not, I can see the positive in letting the forum member count increase, but the negative is it's not accurate for anyone trying to analyze the forum

There are a lot of free-speech issues without a forum having sock puppets.  You have to be on top of kicking out the abusive ones.   It also enables scammers.  Those are the main downsides, but even scammers can make sock puppets when you try to get rid of them.

The upside is anyone can make another account and give a view from a different standpoint.  This can be used to manipulate people but it still allows maximal freedom in stating one's belief without repercussion.  Look at bitcointalk and how much it has flourished.  A lot of bad things have happened, but it has also been a huge site for innovation etc.

I'm not so much referring to sock puppets as I am referring to robots like GGellert, view its profile and notice the outgoing link.  ... 

There are a lot of these, and I am asserting we are not really at 7900 members and Id like to know how many we really have

What does your forum analysis reveal?

Well, for one, our total membership count is not right

Is it possible to see the full list of user names @bitsapphire?
