Somebody please answer if the stealth feature of BTS can be used to obfuscate smart contracts or if it can only be used for transfers and blind balances:

from the article at:

http://www.coindesk.com/turing-complete-smart-contracts/


"Yet another major issue with Turing completeness is, perhaps ironically, their transparency implications.

As part of the requirements to evaluate a Turing-complete contract, the code to that contract must be publicly available. In Turing-complete blockchains, this code is presented at the time that its participants engage in an agreement.

While transparency can often be an advantage to some value-transfer propositions, the problems associated with broadcasting everyone's position are fairly obvious. Most financial contracts require that information be asymmetrically held between the involved parties, so that uninvolved traders cannot trade advantageously on these agreements.

Should a major bank be found taking a position in the market (say a futures contract), the risk to that institution is that the market can publicly trade on, and determine the future of that bank before the contract has executed. Though there are some theoretical fixes to the problems of disclosure, these solutions will be a long time coming, and may never arrive at all."



I suspect that the answere to this question is that yes, it is possible to take a smart contract position with a known amount from an unknown or "blinded" balance.

But no, the contract amount on the DEX cannot ever be invisible to the users of the blockchain.

Am I correct in this assumption?

Graphene - why would you clone anything else?

"Microsoft sues BitShares!"

great headline!

Thank you Bytemaster for finalizing a roadmap to be done hardforking BitShares too frequently.

After 3 more steps are done, then BitShares is officially finished like Ethereum Metropolis!

step 1: implement zero fees
step 2: subsidize liquidity
step 3: implement margin trading and simplify initial visible smartcoin markets to:

bitUSD/BTS
bitGOLD/BTS
bitGOLD/bitUSD

Any 3rd party can do sidechains starting now.

Only 1 question is this:

Assuming continued funding, how long will it take to reach the BitShares Metropolis?

the BTS price is starting to rise for the sharedrop pump!

here we go

to the mooooon!!!



we are still months away aren't we?

 

Please do not compete with micropayments until IOTA is liquid so I can get back into BTS, because right now, I have several BTC non liquid locked in IOTA ICO.

I thought BTS chose not to compete in micropayments

Why now do you choose to take market share from Internet of Things?

BM said that he would work with IOTA, not compete against them!

BM said:

"I think there is potential for IOTA and CNX to work together on providing the best possible technology for micro-transactions."

Now he states that he will instate competitive pricing?!

did not you guys attend the weekely Bitshareholder meeting?

are you two not on committee?

So nobody on committee listen to BM no more?

his proposal offers zero fees for small users, reimbursement for lifetime member referrals and is spam proof

low barrier for entry means more new users
