Should we not have a sub-board for user issued assets like Brownies. Right now, Brownies are front and center and as such are given lots of attention/credibility; if we have lots of assets are we going to have them all be front and center as well and have actual BitShares discussions mixed in?

You have to turn your phone sideways...vertically I have that issue as well

The way to market this is to market it to people by telling them they can make money signing up their friends, but we need the wallet providers to be willing to share the referral income with people referred to them, we need this capability from the outset or we are going to end up in the same place we are now.

Please carry on, your daily escapades are most interesting.

just FYI its going to be changed to be Identibit in case you had not heard…thanks for your input cass,

Sorry I wasn't specific, it is the description and name of the board on the main page.

Most of the marketing delegates have been doing nothing for months, especially since the BitShares 2.0 announcement in June. Usually anyone who brings up this topic (i.e. newmine, KenCode, myself ) receive lots of negativity because many of the marketing delegates are popular on this forum. For example, the two bitscape guys have 2 100% marketing delegate positions which have resulted in a total of 2 accounts sign-ups in 8.5 months, they haven't updated their website since April (maybe it is time to redirect the Bytemaster's Blog banner to the right link) and haven't produced the video from their April road trip, "Videos in Productions Coming Soon". These guys started off great with lots of promise like their cool store that accepts smartcoins, a website, a blog and community involvement, but it is just that they are like other marketing delegates that just were never really worried about dropping out of the top 101 and so they naturally did less and less.

The point I'm trying to make is a serious one, not just repeated philosophical sound-bites. The principal value of Bitshares is corruption/centralisation resistance with the ability to scale. Why are investors not interested in that? Because they don't think it works? Or it won't be allowed to work? Don't want it to work? Don't get how it works? DPOS is the core  innovation that sets Bitshares apart from many other projects.  If you are saying we need institutional investors, well then I disagree. We need to earn the trust of ordinary people and if successful, new institutions will grow from that.  You might say that ordinary people don't care about corruption, they just want easy.  Well they might care more once everyone gets burned by the central banking super theft etc

What is the simplest, most compelling argument for people to use Bitshares? Bitshares can protect you, everybody, the planet from the effects of tyranny that results from the mis-use of the power of money.

All the application layers, the decentralized market, the pegged assets, smart contracts, the referral systrem etc are brilliant features. But they are worthless without the network's integrity. Good money drives out bad. Bitshares must be synonymous in people's minds with good money or eventually, people and the new corporations will be utilising a different network.....

How do we summarise what Bitshares can do?  Well it offers an efficient, secure, low-cost means of sending, recieving, executing and recording transactions. This provides the framework for buliding digital networks with a variety of features like decentralised markets, pegged assets.....etc. New features and applications are being innovated all the time. In simple terms Bitshares can be your accountant, lawyer, insurer, estate-agent, banker, government, post office, stock market etc and money. It really depends on what the user wants to do with Bitshares.

I think personally you have hit the nail right where it needs to be. When reading this, I got a more personal understanding to Bitshares so I sent it immediately to my Forbes contact for him to start preparing the material for his "best article ever" on the Bitshares 2.0 launch.

I will attend the The 10th Global Money Transfer Summit held 15-16 September at L39, Canary Wharf, London as a speaker up against the big guys from Bitpay, Circle and Bitcoin Foundation on the panel on Sept. 16th covering crypto currency and only second year they have crypto included. This i a 1700 GBP entrance fee event meant for the CEO's and similar of major money remittance system providers like Weestern Union, Moneygram, World Remit and many more from all over the world.

What I wanted to say with this is, that your explanation is going to be added to my file as important information to clearly picture what Bitshares is all about to these influential people from all over the world. I only have a slot of some 8-10 minutes so I have to be very direct and informative, aming an impression to help Bitshares get an early footprint into the world's remittance industry.

If anybody else have some comments in which you feel one sentence coul help narrow down what Bitshares is all about, it could help me create a great powerpoint to present at this summit. I will try see if I can arrange for my Forbes contact to enter as press for free as well well, and we could have a hell of an article coming out in just about the best timing possible to give Bitshares 2.0 and CCEDK ofcourse the best possible conditions for a succesful impression to the world.

I generally don't do the thing, but this is certainly worthy. 

The current voting results are transparent until the voting period ends is it not? So voting very late in the process and burning only if necessary will be what ends up happpening. #unintendedconsequences
