PM me if you are interested in making some BTS in exchange for writing regression tests. You only need very basic development skills, our test framework just replays CLI logs. Include how many hours/week you can commit, what hourly rate you expect in terms of USD, and when you can start.

General Discussion / Re: Will Ethereum swallow us whole come March?

Guys stop pretending like 1.0 will bring some magic element that will finally make it marketable. Would your plans be thrown off if we released "1.0" tomorrow with nothing changed from the current version?

The concept of "1.0" is as harmful as "big marketing push" was.

Can you post which public keys you expect to see your funds allocated to?

Muse/SoundDAC / Re: Check your NOTE allocation
« on: February 20, 2015, 11:36:19 pm »
I found the allocation is little bit fewer than agsexplorer's result. (about 0.12%) Can you check it?

The ones I spot-checked seemed right, can you post the addresses and expected amounts?

Muse/SoundDAC / Check your NOTE allocation
« on: February 20, 2015, 10:29:09 pm »
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmushegian/snapshots/master/TESTNOTE.1-distribution.json

Divide by 10000. Keyhotee founders and 10% allocation to peertracks are excluded.

These are coalesced and then converted into native addresses (you can check what yours maps to with "convert_to_native_address" command)

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nmushegian/snapshots/master/TESTNOTE.1-distribution-native.json

These are currently distributed as TESTNOTE.1 on devshares  -  you should be able to claim your TESTNOTE.1 using AGS, PTS, and presale keys.

General Discussion / Re: 100+ new users/day for the last two days

By "new users" you mean new accounts? I'll bet you $1000 those are mostly the same user.

I'm refusing to take any pay until we get a reasonable number of 0% delegates and use proposals to figure out how to direct inflation.
My interpretation of what Toast is saying is in part that the "governance" of the DAC isn't working as efficiently as it could be and that can hurt value.  For instance, he's been pushing the importance of "proposals" or other stake weighted polling for a while (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14043.0). I tend to agree and have argued that good stake polling is pretty crucial.

I think some people were turned off by the "merger" not so much because the idea of a merger was bad but simply because it appeared that Dan had the power to unilaterally change the rules and create more shares.  If the same decision was made after a fairly perceived stake weighted poll was conducted the whole thing may have been perceived differently.  Same goes for conflating delegates with workers; there is FUD in regards to how easily dilution happens.  I've tended to think having a high bar of 50% approval of active shares for dilution would be perceived better even if it took a lot of work to get there, especially because dilution was controversial and not in the original design.

Wasn't that the bread and butter of the "Killer VOTE DAC"? A built in blockchain voting mechanism? Perhaps what was sold to everyone as the "DAC killer" should've been developed first. That way everyone could have immediately seen what was being sold to us through a merger was in fact legit and worth it.  Now all we got is a "Crutch DAC" missing one of its legs (DNS) and it's spinal cord (VOTE supposedly).

Actually we wouldn't even need the functionality in VOTE, we have the ability to do stake-vote on chain right now via the delegate slate hack but making it usable was never made a priority.

VOTE and DNS should be understood as killed and the merger should be understood as buying out post-feb28 AGS/PTS holders. This leaves the 30m BTS stake for adam which has effectively been repurposed as a marketing fund.  (edit: but that's just my opinion, mind you)

Ask me why proposals keep getting swept under the rug and then interpret my lack of response however you want.

Or why not 1000. This way the dev's can make $5K+ per month instead of the current $1100/mo. This was the entire reason for increasing delegate pay in the first place. $1100 per month is not a living wage in any 1st world country.

There is no possible way this could make the market cap fall anymore right? I mean the current depressed price and unpairing from btc had nothing to do with devs selling their bts income. This way the devs get more money and everyone else can continue to wait. But at least the devs wont walk away.

I know this is one of your jab posts but,

$1100/month is a good combination of not depressing the market cap *too much*, and motivating the developers to work hard to increase the market cap so they can earn the money deserve.

Also is there any real risk of the core developers walking away now? They all just received 5million BTS each, which could be worth loads IFF the product is polished and actually gets used.

The risk of developers walking has nothing do with getting paid enough and everything to do with minimizing the chance that BM accidentally destroys any wealth we create again. I'm refusing to take any pay until we get a reasonable number of 0% delegates and use proposals to figure out how to direct inflation.
You should take your pay. You earned it.
Although,
It looks like you have withdrawn  366,941 BTS out of a total 367,895 BTS paid to your 100% delegate. Can you clarify what you mean?  http://bitsharesblocks.com/delegates/delegate?name=dev0.nikolai

Should have said "going forward" / "from now on". I withdrew all pay today to mark the end of the for-myself period and the start of the for-cass/valentine era. Perhaps I should take out the last week out of my pay also since I started working on Music stuff about a week ago, what do you think?

147
I haven't taken any pay for music yet and don't plan to until I "cleared my debts" with BTS by refusing more pay and taking what I can of the "bonus" runway to fund stuff that the current model can't fund. I would go into more details but the chinese PR group told me to shut up. They're the ones that shut off that discussion BTW, and I think it's actually a good idea.

And again, none of my decisions are because I'm not getting paid enough. I have constantly refreshing standing offers for significantly more than what I'm getting here. I'll let you know if and when I take one of them, until then I'm a bagholder/believer just like you.

apparently this is "PR sensitive" so I'm hiding it here in forum management for now

So wait. Did we just lose one of our lead developers? And did one of our (ex) lead developers just call our main advantage over other crypto-startups 'a hack', and a lose-lose?

 :o

DPoS' future will be a political one.   I am glad to see Toast reaching out to let people know what's going on.
Not sure what was meant by delegates being called a hack though.  If we don't have elected delegates we have ripple... which is worse.

See this is the problem. DPOS is a consensus protocol, DPOS is not the idea of inflating to pay for work. By conflating the two you've made both ideas worse. We could have DPOS and paid workers where it gets political. Of course we should have elected delegates for consensus. And of course we should direct inflation towards useful goals.
