#1 Would it be possible to bring the Darkcoin (er, "Dash") Foundation in as a Bitshares DAC?

From eduffield's post (https://darkcointalk.org/threads/rebranding-followup.4266/):
"the name “Darkcoin” has some negative perception by businesses we’ve reached out to. They’ve said, it’s not the privacy centric nature of the product, but the name that is unfortunate"
 
"the foundation began investigating the use of it [Dash] and found a trademark application ... we need to challenge that trademark application to even be able to use the name, otherwise it’s a complete non-starter"
 
"We’re absolutely open to everyone’s input and always have been. We would like this process to be 100% transparent as possible. In the community supports it, I would support hiring a firm to handle the rebranding for us. We could allow the firm to engage directly and transparently with the community, then have foundation members vote on the final decision. Originally when the community started talking about rebranding months ago, we also began talking about it internally. It’s obvious that we missed something in the process and I’d also like to apologize on behalf of myself and the foundation’s board for this."
 
Needless to say, I got a Darkcoin buy signal today on their news.

Could Bitshares help them by converting their Foundation to a DAC and #2 allowing their coin holders to maybe even get some yield if there was a Dash-market-pegged bitDash asset, er uh, yeah, I know this is a total newbie question sorry. I'm thinkin we could help a lot of the altcoins out there... not just the bitBTC, ya know??

 
Would love your thumbs down on her new 2min crypto bashing rant:

I mentioned Bitshares on an earlier post with her too but my posts get deleted when promoting Bitshares.

I bought 1.00 bitSilv a few days ago as a test. I wanted to see the "Estimated Yield" section show me something.
 
After a couple of days the Yield section now shows that I have earned 0.0002 silver.

#1 Cool, ok, so now why does the bitsilv not show in my Assets table?
#2 Can I have my yields automatically reinvested into Bitshares (or bitSilv) somehow?
 
Thanx in advance for any direction on this. The wiki seems really out of date (btsx, bitshares x, protoshares stuff, etc).

Can the web wallet integrate the entrance of some gateway or bridge? Then people can loggin to the web wallet and directly deposit fiat and receive bitAsset. It just like the deposit directly from fiat to bitasset. It will be much smooth for people to come in.

As soon as Bitshares implements a fiat onramp, the banks and governments will be all over this, NOT good. Just use the centralized exchanges to send your fiat to bitcoin then xfer to bitshares.

You may be the only person on the forum that believes that.  We are dead if we don't get fiat on/off ramps.

I think @bytemaster agrees with me:
http://bytemaster.bitshares.org/article/2015/01/22/Use-Gold-and-Silver-with-BitShares-to-bypass-Fiat-Regulations/
Today I would like to present the case for abandoning fiat all together and adopting a truly free market currency: gold, silver, and other metals.
 

Please visit https://bitshares.org/newsletter/2015/nullstreet/the_nullstreet_journal_0-1.pdf
and check out all the latest BitShares news.

Awesome! Ya know, Bitshares would get a lot more exposure if this was available on google play newsstand and related syndicates. This way i could subscribe and get it automatically the day it's out.
Thanx so much for this!!

Hmm would need to look at your log files to see why you are stuck. First it might be easier if you just go into "/home/mama/.BitShares" and delete everything EXCEPT for the "wallets" folder and see if it syncs from scratch that way.

BINGO! That did the trick. I deleted all folders AND files in the .BitShares folder EXCEPT for the wallets folder.
Then I started up the Bitshares client.
It took about 4 hours to resync, but all of the bitshares I bought from shapeshift and the 50 cents i bought thru metaexchange all show in there now in the transaction and are also reflected in my new balance.
Hopefully the bitshares client will have a gui way to do that in the future in case of a corrupted file or something (i assume that's what happened to me).
Thanx vikram, favdesu and Shentist! My votes have been cast for you!!
Prost, -ken

Your client is not syncing for some reason. First what is the output when you run console (console tab is under Advanced) command "get_info" ?

does that help??

Well, it's been 12 hours now, still haven't received my BTS.
I always use Shapeshift now, love it.
Have never used the cmd line/terminal for BTS, don't really want to start.
I think I run 0.6.1. I click on check for updates and it says i have the most current version.
 
One day shifts, that's no good. I can't react to the market with a one day shift, yikes.
I'll check out metaexchange.info, didn't know that site existed.
I've tried to buy bitAssets in the bitshares client too, but it always said there was a timing issue or something like that.
