bump, let's get oil trading

It should be possible for someone to sell his real silver at a local store or online for BitSLV, then he can travel to a new home (far away) and re-buy his real silver with BitSLV. No converting to other currencies, or having to pay for shipping costs.

I have an idea, what if we started have discussions with Newmont Mining so that people could buy their precious metals with BitGold, BitSilver, etc. We need to make it clear that Newmont should be the first to accept BitGold in exchange for the real metal. What do you guys think? When should we have this discussion, how do we prepare for something like this, who would be the key people to make this possible.

"Newmont Mining Corporation, based in Greenwood Village, Colorado, USA, is one of the world's largest producers of gold, with active mines in Nevada, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, Ghana and Peru." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newmont_Mining_Corporation

...the name shouldn't be BitShares PTS. That just brings about the same confusion the merger was set up to eliminate.

Agreed. Hence the following:

* After the upgrade, a complete rebrand.

Cool, the sooner you can drop 'BitShares' the better, from both a BTS & PTS POV imo.

Why? Isnt it powered by bitshares technology?

Why not have every fork called bitshares-fork?  So bitshares-sparkles, bitshares-rpdc...etc.
It shows competition inside the same place while also serving to make it easier for outsiders looking in to see all the chains that were sharedropped. In 2 years, if there are 20 bitshares forks all with bitshares somewhere in them with marketcaps in the 10's of millions, i bet there will be even more people wanting to buy pts.  Of couse, there needs to be an  leasy way to identify these for everyday people.  The best way is to keep bitshares in the names of these, not to dissassociate them from one another.

This decision boils down to two ways of thinking:
1) bitshares is a single SuperDAC
2) bitshares is a toolkit and a means of distinguishing yourself from inferior toolkits

Now that i have talked enough with a veteran here, I bought PTS.  I like profit, but also think competition between many chains with the bitshares name really helps that.

I totally agree, Bitshares should be called a SuperDAC. It would be nice to see a nice infographic, explaining to people how Bitshares works and about the DACS, if someone wants to give me a list of terms I'll see if I can get us an infographic made with a service like Fiver.com or Freelancer.com, unless someone here has the skills to do the job.

ok, cool. I might just do a redirect for the bitcoin domains to bitshares.org until they expire. Might get bitshares some more web traffic, even if it's just a little.

Time estimates:

Bitshares payment core PHP lib (bitshares_lib) - 2 weeks
Plugins - 5 weeks

This was the estimate I gave BM and I will be paid via BitUSD for these 11 based on the 7 week estimate...

If community is happy with the work I doI would be happy to work on more ecommerce things going fwd... Thr logical one being woocommerce and then designing an ecommerce section on the website..

Based on my research these are low hanging fruits and easier to do once I finalize the bitshares php lib that can be reused. Once these are done I suspect it will be more work to i integrate others but I can look deeper and we can backlog wand come up with an agile sprint schedule to demo work regularily

jsidhu would you be interested in purchasing http://wpbitcoincart.com/ or http://bitcoincarts.com/

I own both of those domains, but am not a wordpress developer.

Well, the marketing team has been holding off. If you go to the bottom of this page, new accounts: http://bitsharesblocks.com/charts

You can see a downtrend on accounts created. I'm looking to support marketing delegates. How do we find and create on-ramps?

Currently there are 5 bitassets trading. Once people can send Bitcoins directly to a Bishares address, this will make things easier, that is 1 on-ramp.

Interesting. I see someone has started www.TradeBTS.com

Direct English translation

'TradeBTS is a bit asset exchange platform , currently supports variety is BitCNY, platform certification acceptance quotient of 1: 1 support for two-way trading price BitCNY and the renminbi, all services for free during the promotion period .'
