Curiously can anyone give references to these sort of things working in the past? I understand BitShares is a new product in many many ways so it is hard to find an example that fits very well, but I would think there should be something out there.
I wonder if the better solution could be more within education. I don't think education is a great idea, but I question whether paying liquidity providers will be enough to jumpstart the system ... and if it isn't (which seems likely) you have now spent your war chest.
I only know about Nubits and they "print" more nubits out of thin air(this is very bad imo) in order to pay the liquidity providers with the 8% Coihoarder mentioned above, it seems to work until now but there is another problem with them, every time new suckers buy nubits, a large percentage of the suckers money are considered "Profits" and are used to pump their
nushares ponzishares. IF there is going to be a huge supply of nubits that threatens the peg, then and only then they will inflate their ponzishares supply (because every week they use lots of the sucker's BTC's as "profits"), despite all that it seems that they have a very good peg so far. If it works with them why not for us?
Worst case scenario we will have to abord if we see that it does't work, I think we will loose more time and energy than bts
DisclaimerI'm completly biased against nubits.
