------------ error --------------
assert

    {"total_votes":79999999999976,"total_shares":{"amount":479999999999856,"asset_id":0}}
i meet this before

delete all the files
git compile  again  the error disappeared

You're sure you deleted the data-dir? If so, are you manually specifying the genesis block or something?
That looks like what happens when you sync from scratch with the wrong blockchain

For me, I got this after I re-imaged the VPS completely and started over.

This issue is due to a bug that I have fixed but will result in a hard fork.   I added some sanity checks on votes / balances adding up properly and some old blocks violate this.   I will investigate this after lunch today.

Denny / Hackfisher just arrived and is now working with us from the BitShares Bunker somewhere in SW VA

The first error is because there is no wallet named "default" - the default is no wallets exist.
Not sure about the second error... maybe it doesn't make a wallet dir until you create at least one wallet? In that case the error should say something different, I'll check it out

The top 100 volunteers can start out being a delegate just for the fun of being there when it all begins.

But if you want to remain a delegate, you will need to get and stay elected.
Now would be a good time to start practicing making the case for why you are among the top 100 best delegates in the world.

Example qualifications:

You are well known and trusted.
You have a wickedly high performance and reliable node.
You are located in a diverse geographical location or legal jurisdiction.
You appeal to a big demographic of which you are a member.
You are cheaper than your competitors.
You promise to do something Truly Worthy and Inspiring with your earnings.
You have a cute icon or a clever delegate name.

 

Should be interesting.  Will there be a section on the forums where members can do their campaigning for election as delegates?

I'll ask Amazon to decide how to handle this...

To run a delegate doesn't require much technical experience so long as you can keep your private key safe and can follow the basic instructions we will be providing.

When things mature the delegates may have to do more technical work.

I thought most of the "Shark Tank" deals were just equity being sold for cash.

You're wrong.  The Shark Tank deals are a dilution of equity.  The cash they give is not income of the original business owner and does not belong to him/her; the cash belongs to the business. If the shark got 51% stake they actually have more control over that cash and how it's spent than the original business owner does.

If you owned 10% of the original business which was not much more than an idea and a few sales do you think you would be entitled to 10% of the new business that has $200k on the balance sheet and prominent new investor.  Of course not, you would get diluted right along with everyone else.
