General Discussion / Re: Changes to the forum - looking for proposals

Can somebody please explain how or in what way Discourse is to be an improvement over Simple Machines?
I'm trying out different sites that are using it and it feels like it only trades organization and content for color and pop.

« on: August 16, 2014, 05:04:19 pm »The question is whether POS in some variation (let's assume DPOS) will make it with the Bitcoin holders as shareholders of the leading POS crypto currency or with Bitshares/NXT/whatever other POS system shareholders of the leading crypto currency.
I think their smartest move would be to adopt DPoS after Bitassets have made their mark.
The real interesting part will be what to do with that gap between 14M and 21M bitcoin?
Honor PTS/AGS?
Honor at ratio?
Charity donations?
Small country currency bootstraps?
Imagine all the Bitshares community sharedrop discussions on a Bitcoin-sized stage with Bitcoin-sized politics = FUN ;-)

« on: August 16, 2014, 04:47:25 pm »Bitcoin will have to change DPoS (or something very similar) when the community realizes that the merchant providers hold more power than the miners.I don't think it can happen that fast. I would guess if the the Bitcoin foundation is wiling to change to DPOS then it takes another 3 month to change. The public discussion whether to change or not might take 2 month. So half a year from when the Bitcoin foundation basically thinks it makes sense to switch.
I think it will happen much sooner than most people think.
What do you think would happen if Bitpay, Coinbase, Circle, etc., threaten to take a hard fork Bitcoin?
Any more educated guesses?
What is the plan for Bitshares? Financing and running an own payment provider? Making Bitpay accept Bitshares / BitUSD before Bitcoin can switch?
What would be advantages of Bitshares + DPOS vs. Bitcoin + DPOS?
I would consider 6 months fast, but 3.5 is much too long - that would kill Bitcoin, IMO.
I think for quite a while, Bitcoin will still be "Bitcoin!!!!" - the worlds next currency!
Bitshares will be everything else.
My view has been:
Bitcoin: Currency, Highest-profile Ledger
Bitshares: Business, Wall Street, Internet, etc.
Ethereum: Internet of things
Regarding Bitshares adoption at the merchant providers - wait until they try out DPoS for themselves - it answers the coffee shop conformation problem.

I like .ptp, but .pop is probably the easiest and quickest to both say and type with a mobile qwerty.
Maybe we can just have .p"any alpha numeric"p all direct to .p2p?

It's not BitToast, it's Bitshares Toast. ;-)
I would also like to hear Adam interview Nikolai about Toast on LTB before the snapshot takes place.
