I really don't think that's a fair characterization. BitShares has a history of making extraordinary claims without the requisite formal analysis. Many of the projects I mentioned have been upfront with stating they are experiments not meant for mission-critical use.

Bitshares has claimed the opposite positioning itself for enterprise use. Naturally this requires a lot more due diligence. To this date I still maintain that the core value proposition of your community that is the notion of a value stable currency needs to be academically vetted. 

There are more than a dozen formal papers on ethereum since it came out. A lot of people are studying it and trying to improve the model. Nothing on BitUSD. Nothing on DPoS. This is a shame because they are topics that need study and evolution outside of the mind of one person who is often wrong.

More than 50% of the projects you mentioned are barely in a proof of concept stage while BTS documented well enough for a senior expert like you to make a good judgment and differentiate between "extraordinary claims" and reality.
 
Personally I think it's an emotional issue between you and Dan. It's none of my business so I'll stay away.

I just don't think it's very professional to let those things interfere - when you paint a detailed landscape of the crypto-world just do thoroughly without any bias or intentional omissions.
Actually I now think it's quite manipulative, especially when your target audience is no position to find out what's missing.

As much as I admire your talking skills and deep insight regarding the crypto-world, I must admit today I've lost faith in your good intentions regarding BTS.

Hello,

I had my latest deposit made this morning (10/12/2015), I waited for my wallet to update, I do see my last two transactions on the wallet transaction list.

Then my wallet started to resync before I made a wallet_export_key.

1. If I do it now when it's resyncing would all my transactions be safe?

All is fine .. you transaction will be effective for BTS2 also!
You will still need to catch up with syncing so that your wallet correctly derives the corresponding private key.

Quote

2. I've noticed that the keys.json file has 40 entries for both private and public keys, is that the number of transactions that I have made from the beginning?

Yes .. that number will increase by at least ONE .. once it catches your transactions from this morning

3. I have downloaded the chain_10_5_2015.zip, and extracted under the \AppData\Roaming\BitShares\chain folder, but when I run the wallet, it starts again from the beginning at 0%, how does this work? Do I need to do anything special for it to read the new folder? I know I am have it in the correct folder for if I remove it, it creates a new chain folder.

Not sure .. does the forum thread not describe it correclty?. Maybe you now have extracted the "chain" folder into the "chain" folder or so .. It may also depend on the architecture .. not sure you can use a 64bit database on a 32 bit machine

I would probably need a new chain download that dates 10/12/2015 to get my last two transactions, if indeed they where not save in the json file.

Please help me with this.

Thank you.

I am pretty sure someone will make a chain torrent for the snapshot .. I wanted to do one... but missed my chance since mr.agsexplorer created on block after the snapshot time (worthless)

The log file is dated 10/6/2015, it's in this folder: BitShares/wallets/default/000080.log and it's 192KB

so it is not exposed from v0.9.3c since this version is released this month....
it is an old log file that was created back in June where the old wallet was installed...

So since it is not related with the last version I am not worried too much 


edit:
+ as xeroc mentioned it has BTS on the beginning.... so no private key (I was also confused )

with your backup .json file and your password you will recover on any computer your account...
with the  key you found as far as i know you can NOT do the recover (it's just a public key, at least I think so), it is not your secret key. The wallet don't expose anywhere your secret keys in plain text (it is only encrypted inside your .json backup file). Waiting xeroc to confirm this 

To clarify:
public keys (worthless) start with "BTS...."
private keys (to spend your funds) start with "5...."
