We're Stakeholders for Delegate: media.bitscape
and we approve this message.
+5%  :)

Thanks for the love everyone.  imo, it's the only thing which really pays dividends.
I hope a fruitful discussion, and further evolution of these ideas will continue.

I will vote for you as soon as the next client release comes out, I cant vote for anyone atm.

I'm acutely aware that it's been difficult, or unsafe for some folks to even vote right now.  Thank you!

I would love to see a succinct list of the delegates that the "community" feels urgently need to be elected, and maybe a brief discussion of each.  I think must here would find it helpful if the information was all in one place (a thread?). 

There's definitely a need to display delegate campaign information in a more organized and compelling fashion, allowing people to see who is giving support to which candidate, at a glance.  At one point it was suggested by bytemaster that svk would be in the best position to add this sort of functionality at BitsharesBlocks.  I'm not sure where it is on the priority list though.

I agree, we need funds and work done now, not later. If we had been a centralized company we would be going to investors right now offering them some percent of our company for cash infusion. I am trying this on a small scale, offering future delegate pay (given back 6-12-24 months from now) in return for capital now. Obviously it won't be huge sums, but I think if a lot of us pursued this strategy we could avoid sell-pressure (in fact increase buy pressure) and have the funds required to go full-steam on launch and the subsequent 3-6 months before all our competitors shape up.

Maybe I am dreaming, I will know more next week, but for now I am fishing with optimism.  ;)

Yes, now and yesterday!  Thanks for 'fishing with optimism'!  I'm intensely curious to know how this works out...!  I hope you can report details back to the community.  It's a bit like a PAC in a way, and works to distribute the risk a little.  I would love to hear more about this idea.

Did any of you check out the awesome BitShares Delegate Outlook Graph that roadscape made?

I will now shamelessly cross-post Stan's comment on this graph from the local 中文(Chinese) thread.
This is a very powerful way for delegates to plan for the future and explain that plan!  I like it!

Some days being an aspiring 100% delegate feels a little like this.

General Discussion / Community: Risk vs Reward / Fear vs Love
« on: January 11, 2015, 10:17:28 pm »
Dear Community,

Everyone needs to ask themselves what is the potential risk versus reward to voting in several willing and able media-savvy marketing delegates, and enable them to contribute to their fullest extent ASAP.

In my estimation we stand to lose much more through inaction at this point in time.

This is how most startups pay their employees, at least in part, with shares in the company.
Certain types of employees look for jobs where they can trade their ability to tolerate risk for the chance to make it big.

We’ve gone beyond tolerating risk, and along with a good many in this community, we have embraced it.  Now we’re looking for shareholders to join us and give us the chance.

If you worry about the negligible equity dilution of a promising delegate in the face of all the upside potential exposure and fail to take action, you are essentially ‘cutting off your nose to spite your face.’

Help our community creatives put the ‘wind in the sails’ of outreach and adoption efforts.  There is a highly talented crew here already taking action, and ready for more.
What are you afraid of?

Let’s build a movement!

Sincerely,
bitscape

两个图标均显示了BTS在不同的价格点时,不同支付率受托人收入折合美元的价值。
(浅蓝色标记出的是临时价格基准显示的总市值)
这也显示了我们目前在加密货币界市值有多小,成长空间有多么巨大!
这个应急方案也展示了,随着BTS价值不断上升,我们将有效地降低我们的受托人支付率。
这表明,我们有一个固定计划,还有2号受托人作为“火箭助推器”,让我们可以事半功倍。
一旦我们达到比特币的市值,我们将会有效地更改为一个10%支付率的受托人。: )
我们认为,所有受托人都应该发布一份长期的财务意向计划书,以防止在未来产生误解。

中文 (Chinese) / 支持我们的受托人团队:media.bitscape
« on: January 09, 2015, 06:56:32 am »
社区的伙伴们、队友们,大家好!

新年快乐~ 2015,出发!
属于比特股的年度

这是六大部分提案的第一部分

目录
1. 说真的,我们是谁?
2. 我们的愿景
3. 使命、战略、战术
4. 财务计划
5. 行动领域
6. 总结

此文的目的,是向你们正式自荐受托人团队:media.bitscape

在过去的几个月里,我们一直在努力工作,致力于开展群众运动,在早期使用者中激发兴趣,奠定草根媒体宣传的基础,助力BTS起飞。我们将详细说明这些计划,但是首先…


说真的,我们是谁?

大家好,我是Brandon Lovejoy,比特股区块链受托人之一:bits。从今以后在论坛和其他地方的bitscape就是我,我是一个创业者、战略家、艺术家和技术爱好者,我的背景是电影和音频制作、草根活动组织、政治、茶、帆

船等等。同时我也是一个从1995年开始的linux软件爱好者,我相信,自由软件是自由社会的基本要求,区块链技术可能会将人类进化提升到新的阶段。对我来说,比特股是数字时代自由的火炬,在这个惊人的社区帮助下,我

愿意尽全力推动它的进步。

大家好,我是roadkill,从今以后我的名字将是roadscape,或者Tim。我是一个多面手,创造性问题解决者和战略家。我想看到区块链技术成为建立一个更自由、更安全、更高效社会的基石。1998年,我用我爸的VB5教科书手

动复制代码样本,开始了自己的第一次编程尝试。到2003年,我编写IM、IRC和HTTP客户端/服务器/机器人,完全迷上了网上编程。从那时起,我一直做web应用程序/设计、服务器管理、移动应用程序相关的工作,相关的技能

包括内容优化、研究与教学的概念、设计、摄影和一般的恶作剧。互联网已经成为一个战场,BitShares是我们争取和平的武器。



我们的愿景

我们不能继续被笼罩在这个追逐和平和自由的大范围实验阴影之下,这一点日益明显。在数字世界里我们已经被充分灌输全球范围的非暴力不合作概念,被区块链技术锤炼,被植入人类想象力、勇气和行动力能量精华。

从这一点开始,我们不应该再有一丝疑虑,我们必须迅速而明确的心怀崇敬接受这份礼物,否则我们将把自由世界的进程滞后几代人。通过全球范围的本地活动组织,利用强劲的数字媒体产品功能,我们可以成为一座功能强

大的桥梁,促进多样化社区在全球范围的沟通。

我们相信步道者的力量,带着无限的雄心、思想、手和声音,我们必须利用一切可能的表达来传递自由的消息。

不要放弃,一起来,我们可以找到解决方法。 -Dan Larimer


使命

• 创建一个可持续的区块链共生型商业模式

• 通过直接的当地社区互动和引人注目的数字媒体制作,宣传推广比特股的思想。

• 通过实地考察,评估各种基础推广策略

• 与其他社区成员合作,促进市场推广和教程宣传,帮助其他人进行社区组织。

• 推动受托人角色的进一步发展和实践,采取协作方式进行媒体制作竞选,使推广和采纳效应远超出单纯的加密货币圈范围,争取在意识形态上认同比特股人群的支持。
.

策略

• 比特股相关商品:T恤和其他宣传材料
• 网络媒体
• 加密技术新人
• 文化基因(和混合病毒)
• 数字媒体(书/音频/视频)
• 免费下载(资料库)
• 视频制作
• 采访、微访谈
• 广告
• 特色纪录片
• 事件、宣传、商业推广、社区项目


财务计划   

前言

我们准备使用受托人收入作为种子基金,创造多样化收入模式的盈利企业,为比特股系统创造超过其成本的价值。

当你阅读这个计划的时候,请在脑海里记住一下几点:

• 我们是两个高技术人才,致力于为构建BTS生态系统创造巨大的价值。包括受托人维护、媒体制作、草根组织等等。
• 我们承诺:
• 财务上我们的资金将会用在:
• 注册受托人media.bitscape
• 制作比特股T恤
• 两个网站和受托人的安全托管和服务器支出
• 我们耗费了大量的时间去做:
• 构建一个网络基础设施(编码和设计)来支持这些尝试
• 开发一个全面的战略
  • 当地活动组织
• 新商品开发
• 维护一个稳定的受托人达5个半月
• 通过公开自己身份,让比特股获得更多支持。

我们建议以如下结构和分发方式分配受托人资源。

首先,我们提交的计划是:
受托人1: media.bitscape 100%支付率
这将成为我们长期主要的融资工具。

一旦我们的第一受托人被投票进入101位,我们将注册第二个:
受托人2:provisional.bitscape 100%支付。这是一个专为达成融资目标,更迅速执行高级媒体制作的种子基金,当火箭逃逸速度足够时,可能抛弃或改变。参见以下:

受托人薪水的分配

每两周,我们将使用赚取的BTS:
• 支付运营费用
• 受托人服务器和托管成本
• 基础设施、许可、联合办公空间,法律和金融咨询、和其他商业运营成本
• 余下资金(如果有的话)用作个人收入:
• Bitscape获得50%,最高每年84000美元(每月7000美元)
• roadkill获得50%,最高每年84000美元(每月7000美元)
直到我们有超过这个工资的收入盈余之前,我们会牺牲个人收入的部分来实现之前列出目标,包括下列的两个受托人基金。
• 余下资金(如果有的话)我们将用来完成战略基金:
  • 媒体项目基金(初始软限制25000 BitUSD)
   • 开展媒体宣传
   • 本地聚会和活动
• 会议
  • 人才招募
   • 合同工人
  
  • 紧急基金(初始软限制50000 BitUSD)
• 法律费用
• 覆盖技术/基础设施问题造成的运营成本
• 在不久的将来,这个基金必须离线冷储存。从区块链收入的所有资金,我们都会完全透明
• 余下资金(如果有的话):
• 3%加入个人工资作为奖励
   • 97%燃烧销毁


加密货币入门
Bitscape传媒

目前为止,我们已经创建了这两个实体来创造价值和提高知名度,但这些尝试的收入潜力是仍是完全未知的。随着我们的发展壮大,我们将重新评估我们的财务计划,应该能够成为一个重要的收入来源。

本文并不代表一个合同或承诺,这仅仅是基于我们目前资金条件进行运作的最佳策略,基于这个项目固有的高风险性和未知性,提出是一个诚实的计划。

Stakeholder Proposals / Re: Elect our team delegate - media.bitscape
« on: January 09, 2015, 05:03:28 am »
You guys seem really cool. There's no question that you are way better than an Init drone delegate. And I'd like your business to succeed. I'm just not sure why the store couldn't create the cash flow you need. I know it takes time to establish a profitable business, but the same would be true of a delegate.

Thanks for the tough love Donkeypong.  ;) I hope to win you over.

Right now all you can really see in action is the store at  cryptofresh.com, and while this already represents a milestone in BTS history, I can understand your skepticism, where’s the rest?  It’s on the way.

You only mention the store in your question, but we are steadily advancing on three fronts, and additional fronts may be opened, as resources become available.  We are nothing if not versatile.

We are two people with access to talented creators of all kinds.  We also have to juggle outside work until such time as the community sees fit to bring us on, and allow us to throw our full weight behind BitShares.

We recognize this is a marathon, not a sprint.  We will return more value to this ecosystem than we consume, and I’m confident that will become apparent in time.

The store itself is potentially capable of growing into a profitable enterprise, it’s true.  We are working to make that a reality, and should we succeed, we will invest it back into the BitShares community.

Like mycelium which spreads far and wide through the earth, creating nodes and building energy, we have yet to reveal much of the ‘fruiting bodies’ which will come forth with the rain.  The community taking action to vote in our first 100% delegate at this moment in history, will be like a light and welcoming rain.

If we hope to stem the mass destruction that inevitably attends our economic system (and to alter the sense of entitlement - the sense of contempt, the hatred - on which it is based), fundamental historical, social, economic, and technological forces need to be pondered, understood, and redirected. Behavior won't change much without a fundamental change in consciousness. The question becomes: How do we change consciousness?

― Derrick Jensen, The Culture of Make Believe

Amazing!  I don't know many people familiar with Derrick Jensen.  'The Culture of Make Believe' is of the most truly impactful books I have ever read. 

In the spirit of the OP, I threw the coins on the question and they returned Hexagram 50:

Quote
From coming out to life to going back to death:
Those companions (t'u) of life,
They are one-third (shih-yu-san);
Those companions of death,
They are one-third;
Those living but moving toward the place of death,
They are also one-third.
Why?
Because of the intense (hou) life-producing activity.
I have heard that one who knows how to nourish life,
On land meets no tigers or wild buffaloes,
In battle needs to wear no armors or weapons,
A wild buffalo has nowhere to butt its horns,
A tiger has nowhere to sink its claws,
A weapon has nowhere to enter its blade.
Why?
Because such a one has no place of death.


Translation by Ellen Marie Chen

And this!  Also amazing... I've been consulting the I Ching with help from Stephen Karcher's 'Total I Ching', for a few years now.  Really good stuff.

After looking at hexagram 50... I am now trying to wrap my head around this concept of the blockchain as a digital cauldron, or vessel of the digital age... no longer a source of power to dominate, but to unite. 

One of my all time favorite Derrick Jensen clips.. :)

Nailed it with the eleventh hour.

Here is one from Steve Jobs. His co-worker in NeXT is commenting "so really the next 90 days are all important" and Steve goes "we are going to make it or break it based on whether we can provide products .. and sevices and relationships ... that no one else provides, and i think we ought to spend a 100% of our time thinking about that - and if we can't do that then we ought to go broke."

http://youtu.be/WHsHKzYOV2E?t=6m52s
Clarity in action... the same advice most definitely applies to BitShares, right now, and I for one will be posting those words somewhere i can see them every day!  I've never been a huge Steve Jobs fan, nor a detractor, but after watching that video you linked to, all I can say is... respect!

doesn't ripple using the expression also !? Just curious

Cass, you have to play along if you're going to post here... ;) Nuggets of Wisdom!

Honestly i don't know if that's a ripple thing or not, is it?  It just came to mind late late last night.
Confession: I've never used Ripple, and have never owned any XRP   :D

Let's all share some of our favorite nuggets of wisdom... :)


This chapter from the Dao De Jing has been coming to mind lately.

Quote
9.
Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.
Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.
Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.
Care about people's approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.
The only path to serenity.

'Translated' by Stephen Mitchell

Or another more legit translation, of the same verse:

Quote
9.
To hold and fill (a vessel) to the full (ying),
It had better not be done.
To temper and sharpen a sword,
Its edge could not be kept (pao) long.
To fill the hall with gold and jade,
There is no way to guard (shou) them.
To be rich, exalted, and proud,
This is to invite blame (chiu) upon oneself.
When work is done (sui), the person (sheng) retires,
Such is the Tao of heaven.
