Lots of fanboys predicting August and September. Ready to put your money where your mouth is?
Given how accurately this predicted BTSX+BitAsset launch, let's try again:

BTSX goes above Litecoin before...
Sept 1st:     https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/bitsharesx-crosses-litecoin-market-cap-before-sept-1st/
Sept 14th:   https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/bitsharesx-crosses-litecoin-market-cap-before-sept-14th/
Oct 1st :      https://www.fairlay.com/predict/registered/new/bitsharesx-crosses-litecoin-market-cap-before-oct-1st/

I have opted to go for a relatively "quiet" launch - I will not enable domain sales (and so will not have to wait for extreme thorough testing for DNS functionality) and will not wait for a polished GUI. This is because the large delegate subsidy will greatly accelerate the pace of development (especially infrastructure) and allow us to build the hype necessary for the auction kickback mechanic to properly incentivize honest market participation once development is underway.


I will keep this thread up to date with what needs to be done before launch. If you want to help with any of these, you will be reimbursed from the development fund.

Launch Checklist

*  Basic UI rebranding  -  functional UI development is already being taken care of, but not how it looks. This really means a temporary logo / splash pic
*  KeyID namespace snapshot. Gamey has been managing Keyhotee migration and name substitution requests. We will take a "delegate name snapshot" from the end of august 21st and post the genesis block names publicly for review / sub requests.
*  PTS/AGS snapshot + audit.  The tool on bitshares.org breaks for dates later than the end of AGS, and I want an audit of this tool and any existing PTS snapshot tool anyway. Boombastic had prepared a namecoin snapshot tool is no longer necessary but can be used for PTS snapshots:
*  Thorough writeup of auction mechanics and all other parameters
*  Dry Run
*  Code review with the rest of the team


I will launch a test network for developers Soon and a dry run with GUI after any BTSX fires are put out. Repo is at github.com/das-lab/DNS, but don't bother until I set up a dedicated testnet.

Your "current points" is simply the coin-days destroyed for your deposit for a particular domain.
You win when at least N cdd have been accumulated, and you beat the next highest cdd for that name by 50%.
You get 95% of your deposit back.

1) You can now increase the call price of a cover order
    (5% fee still applies)
2) Switched to 1 hour moving price average rather than feeds
3) You now need 51 delegates to publish a feed (up from 3)
4) The client now warns you if you are making a bid or ask that is 5% worse than best price

Delegates can adjust their price feed via:
wallet_publish_price_feed delegate_name 1.1 USD  // set the price to 1.1 USD per XTS

The median price feed is used to restrict market operations for creating new shorts or executing margin calls.   This is used for bootstrapping the network.

Dry Run Snapshot
This dry run uses a new genesis block using a snapshot of the AGS and PTS chains from July 18th which was the last day of AGS donations. We need to verify this genesis snapshot. Everyone please check your genesis balances and see if they are the expected amount.

Feedback from last thread:

* 20% each for AGS and PTS might be too much (this is 80% of the initial supply)
* 5% for development might be too little (this is 10% of the initial supply)
* 5% for sharedrops might be too little

New proposal:

* 15% each for AGS and PTS  (this is 60% of initial supply)
* 10% for development  (this is 20% of initial supply)
* 10% for sharedrops  -  not just onto altcoins, but also onto organizations like student bodies or what have you
* Still 50% for delegates

Please make sure chinese community knows about this:
