bytemaster,
First, let me say, thank you good sir for creating Bitcoin!
Second, why did you leave Bitcoin to start BitShares?
What is "LMAX"?
Define "a good while", in terms of dev funding. See previous hangout where you stated, "the core devs have secured funding to be around a good while".
"Privacy and speed do not mix"? This sounds like a challenge or do you believe such a dilemma will never be conquered?
"BTS benchmarks 180,000 per second (only claim 100,000 per second), assuming all nodes have bandwidth to handle load." How much bandwidth is required by a delegate to "handle the load"?
"if you vote poorly, price goes down". Is there a solution for poor voting, outside of voter education? You can't force people to pay attention and I'd hate to blame BitShares failure on "poor voting" by hodor.
Please discuss the new licensing more.
I want you to take a "look at the technologies" in BitShares and give your assessment of how it compares to other top crypto's. Are you happy with where BitShares is today?
Do you consider BitShares to be ahead or behind of where you thought BTS would be 2 years ago?
What's different about BitShares today, compared to your original vision? Why is it different?
