General Discussion / A BitShares Constitution?
« on: November 02, 2014, 02:22:24 pm »
assume a marketcap of 2Bn - why would we need 8% dilution in this marketcap? would be 160 million for the employeed people.

in the near future maybe it is possible to change the dilution model to take the needed value from the stakeholders direct.

you hold 1.000.000 million BTS and the employeed people need 5% this year to work for us, so we take 50.000 BTS from this owner (as an example for all owners) so he will hold 950.000.000 BTS in the end of the year.

i know this is not common, but maybe the stakeholders will watch the employeed people closer and will higher and fire faster.

We need to see the controls for dilution and delegate's work processes.  My hunch is it all ties back to VOTE. But in the mean time, not knowing how much we'll be diluted, and to what gain, is the investor's greatest area of uncertainty.


So many people want to be delegates, and it scares shareholders that there could be 101 delegates diluting the system. There is no clear and standardized way to track these individuals.  And even then, will enough people actually recast their votes to get the over promising, under producing delegates out?

General Discussion / What does a BitUSD early adopter look like?
« on: November 01, 2014, 04:03:02 pm »
from https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10828.30

I think the How, and not just how the features of BitShares work, but How is it going to change the world is what most needs more thorough articulating.

One version of the "how" pitch. I'd be curious to see others.  How starts with what the fundamental components of business are. (1) "transaction ledger" aka value in, value out or cash in cash out. (2) "overhead" or the structure for supporting the transaction ledgers to maximize retained value - this could be buildings, physical inventory, manpower, etc. and (3) "reputation" which lends itself to the degree of stickiness that a transaction ledger has or the number of other transaction ledgers linked up to the transaction ledgers in question.

BitShares figured out that "transaction ledgers" and "reputation" can be built into the World Wide Web. This now means that any business whose core components are ledgers and reputation, such as banks and stock exchanges, can be built and run with out any of the costs of traditional businesses, saving all people using these businesses tons of money, and creating a huge net gain for the economy at large.

Get over it, AB. This is beating a dead horse of a non-argument. Don't you have your own forum now?

This is exactly the type of shallow, non-productive response and attitude I was referring to in my post. Why don't you address the substance of my argument instead of being so dismissive? If anything what you've provided is the very definition of a "non-argument".

Look, you're now a competitor.  Don't expect a pat on the back.

Wouldn't it be more accurate and therefore easier to market if we were to describe BitShares as...

Decentralized Autonomous Network Software...  (can software or networks be regulated under current laws?)

which enables the formation of Blockchain Secured Communities...

maintained by Delegated Proof of Stake.

The benefits of which include the utility of the DANS in support of...

Freedom of speech
Trustless transactions
Speed of transactions
Cost of transactions
Sovereign control over all stores of productivity
Private communications
Fair rules
Stable rules
Consensus governed changes to rules
Free market resilience

etc......

I like this.  Concise, clear, +5%

BitShares to become Decentralized Autonomous Community

We have long used the company metaphor to describe BitShares X as a bank and exchange and thrown around words like shares, dividends, dilution, merger, interest, etc.   I would like to officially strike all such language from the rebranded BitShares (BTS) to be launched because it does not fit with what we are really doing and those words work against us in every way except understanding the economic consequences of various decisions. 

the entire business analogy should not be excluded nor be the exception unless there is a stronger description or metaphor we aren't aware of yet; "it's a business" is our best pitch

edit: Why even be bit"shares" if we plan on leaving the company metaphor in the dust?

General Discussion / Blockchain citizenship, is it a good idea or crazy?
« on: October 29, 2014, 02:54:32 am »

What do you even mean?

I have an account on a blockchain that I assume can not be removed and have actively fought proposals suggesting that the account names be removed by voting systems.  Where's that put me in this poll ?
Citizen of Bitshares, is that crazy or is it possible? What would it even mean?

Immigrants welcome! Citizenship in less than five minutes! :)

Will you use dilution or a high pay rate to fund marketing?
