We are ~0.234 BTC away from covering the fee.Please review and give feedback on the company description I drafted for our booth. I wanted to focus on BitAssets, and I figured it was okay to get technical considering the demographic. Feedback is appreciated. Also, there is a 2000 character limit.QuoteAre you a merchant that would like to accept cryptocurrencies directly without having to pay a third party service to mitigate risk due to volatile prices? Perhaps you are a trader and would like the ability to hedge without exiting to fiat currency. Or maybe you seek peace of mind, and would like to keep your savings safe from unexplained seizures by the IRS. BitShares (BTS) provides the solutions to these problems by leveraging a new technology called BitAssets. A BitAsset is a first order derivative that tracks the price of a particular currency or commodity, such as the USD, CNY, EURO, or GOLD. This mechanism is known as the market peg, and is maintained by establishing a Nash Equilibrium between traders to trade around the real price of the commodity. These assets such as bitUSD for example, are issued on the decentralized exchange that exists directly on the BitShares blockchain. Issuance occurs when an order is matched between a short order and the bitUSD buyer (long position), "minting" the bitUSD into existence backed by at least 3x the value in BTS as collateral. The collateral is "locked up" on the blockchain, becoming freed when the short position is covered. Covering effectively destroys the bitUSD, removing it from circulation. The short can purchase the bitUSD and cover their position at anytime within 30 days. After 30 days, the short expires and is automatically covered. If the price of BTS falls relative to the USD such that 75% of the collateral stored would be required to buy back the bitUSD necessary to cover the position, a margin call is executed and the position is covered automatically. This ensures that the bitUSD in circulation is always fully backed by BTS as collateral. Holders of bitUSD and other BitAssets receive a variable % yield paid out of a reserve fund on the blockchain, funded by market fees.BitShares provides the services of a decentralized bank, exchange, and derivatives market all on one blockchain.I have attempted an edit:Are you:- a merchant wanting to accept cryptocurrencies directly without having to pay a third party service to mitigate the risk of volatile prices?- a trader wanting the ability to hedge without exiting to a fiat currency?- or are you simply seeking peace of mind, wanting to keep your savings safe from unexplained seizures by IRS/Banks/Government?BitShares (BTS) provides solutions to these problems, leveraging a new technology called BitAssets.

I'm going to submit your version... it flows better.Quote from: delulo on November 30, 2014, 11:15:03 pmI'm also in with 0.1 btc. Where should I send it? Thanks Delulo.

Sent 0.14125916 BTC Unfortunately I have run out of BTC therefore not 0.1666667, but could send some BTS to make up for difference if you could let me me know BTS name/address.
I think if you would move this thread to general discussion we would have more people show interest. Not many check marketing section. I go to marketing once a week, but check general discussion every day. By the way I don't mind paying 0.1666667
"...the current cost is 0.16666667 BTC..."Yes, I am willing to pay this amount. I didn't see an address to send to? I assume you are going to accumulate the funds in your address and then forward the full amount to the organizers?
In an effort to promote BitShares to the crypto enthusiast demographic, I would like to register a BitShares virtual booth for the CME Virtual Conference (http://www.cryptomoneyexpo.com/expos/inv2/). To register for 2 BTC, we need a video, website, and logo. To reduce that cost to 1 BTC, we can also submit a video pitching BitShares (minimum of 10 minutes) which will be featured. Max has agreed to do the pitch video. Thanks Max!Booth resourcesVideo: http://youtu.be/XaY_KIsouTYWebsite: bitshares.orgLogo: Please post here if you would be willing to contribute to the 1 BTC fee needed to cover this. I will then take the number of contributors and divide 1 BTC by that number to determine the amount needed from each contributor to cover the cost. Also, if you have feedback about regarding changes to the resources to submit please mention that as well.I'll start this off by saying I am willing to contribute to the fee.
