Thank you so much ! You are building something real here .

Thanks , man . We are trying .

Wow this is fantastic! Thank you for doing it, it will help me out a ton by saving time. Make it a sticky?

sticky means often ?
Yeah,we would try to do that . If busy,we would do a short version , if not busy , we would do a long version .

for this effort.  On a side note, MeTHoDx is from Argentina?

I'm not sure , so I used "maybe" . But he know a lot about Argentina though .... I can change it if MeTHoDx tells me to .

Really really really excellent +8% :-)

I don't have time to read everything

I don't understand Chinese but would love to hear your thoughts.

The content in boldface letter is for those who don't have much time to read it all and yet can still grasp the juice of this daily briefing .   

Bitshares Daily Briefings (Global Version)--Inaugural issue-2014.10.29 Wed.

Editor's Note:
Bitshares has only been introduced to us for 4 months , we've seen it's ups and downs. We had excitement , we had disappointments , we still have hope. It's one hell of a ride. But as you all know , for many reasons , we're finding a hard time communicating with each other in this community . These reasons not only included language barrier , but also related to how difficult it was for people to comb though truck load of information in every aspect of this community. So , what if ,we can access to a useful daily that allows ordinary members to know "what's new today" without spending too much time ?

As the newly formed Chinese Spokesman team , we've decided to provide such tool to the community in both Chinese and English.That's what this daily briefings brings to the table . keep in mind , this is more like a daily briefing than a actual news paper , we want to keep this as simple and relax as it should.

Voices from the English Speaking community
MeTHoDx , maybe from Argentina , an entrepreneur , is offering to be a marketing delegate . His marketing strategy is to grab those markets we often missed ----- Those countries with USD need and don't have enough USD supply , like Argentina . We've translated his post to the Chinese community , and many of the Chinese thought it was a brilliant idea . Bytemaster seems to like the idea , as long as he doesn't need to pay MeTHoDx a dime from the AGS fund . Many members from the English Speaking community liked this idea as well.

Stan said that there is no rules why marketer can't be a delegate , but the marketer would have to prove his value to the stake holders , if one can do that , even a janitor can take a bite from the delegate position if the Bitshares system need a janitor . (The janitor part was joking , of course ) .

Brian Page , marketing director of Bitshares , is aiming to launch a marketing campaign after all issue including rebranding are simplified by the developers so it will be easy to present to the ordinary folks . We should be expecting progress on this plan at the end of this year .

Cob , developer of Music project , said that business as usual , nothing changed at the moment .

Toast , developer of KeyID , said " I'd like to put the key graph onto BTS. There you will have a "keyID" but they will not be actual accounts, just named keys. I could import names from keyID at the snapshot date. "   Maybe that's for those who still want to use the names registered in the original KeyID after the merger .

Voices from the Chinese Speaking Community

BTS-Bear (BTS熊) , the founder of the slogan "BTS is good , worth 500 USD each coin properly properly" , suffered a great lost in the merger plan . He was really angry at first , maybe still does. Depite his feeling for the merger plan , he still loves this community , and he made a valid point today , and that is , this community is still very young , it needs to grow , it needs more than just I3 to have a future , and that goal can not be achieved without a strong community . We should have more options than just relying on I3 to make the right decision in the long run .

Note: "BTS is good , worth 500 USD each coin properly properly" is made before the total supply of BitsharesX was still 4 million . Since the total supply is 2 billion and more , the original meaning of this slogan would be "BTS is good ,worth 1 USD each coin properly properly" . This slogan started as a joke , has become famous in the Chinese community.


PTS-China(PTS中国) , the promotor of PTS at the early stage in China , after seeing a big dive of Bitcoin price today , he shared his deep thoughts . He use bitcoin as an example to show how a system without usefulness for real business applications would fail eventually . Money are flowing out of the Bitcoin system , and if Bitshares can't learn any lesson from this , Bitshares will suffer the same fate. He urged the community and the Bitshares developers to take this more seriously , stoping playing with concepts after the merger , and devote more effort in the real business application.

A Passer-by , with no name , stated that there are no active QQ Group communications regarding crypto currencies for days excpet QQ Groups of Bitshares . That shows the popularity of Bitshares in China still exist comparing to the other alt-coins . For those who don't know yet, one  QQ group often contains 200 and more members . If a QQ group of a crypto currency hasn't said a word in days , that means no one cares or has hope anymore in that specific crypto currency . We still have hope , but we may not have much time . We have to distant ourselves from the ones losing the battle , and fight our way out of this mud .

Jerry (J神 , J-GOD) , a god-liked person , well known in the Chinese community because of his great "if then" algorithm . He often said that "If I sell BTSX at 0.34 CNY , then buy it back at 0.13 CNY , then sell it at 0.25 CNY , and then buy it back again at 0.11 CNY, my BTSX can multiply , it would be awesome !!"  But...He didn't do one of those buy and sells , just keep holding BTSX  , and he said that "if then" sentence nearly every day. So , that was how he become a god . But he's getting serious about the development . He drew a detail improvement plan for the Bitshares today , the developer should really take a good look at it . It is a very professional advice . https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10720.0   go to this link and see for yourself !

Some Chinese members are happy about the newly formed spokesman team on the role of helping the effective communication between the Chinese and the rest of the community , as well as some English speaking members . We really appreciate their support . Fuzzy , gamey , JoeyD , TonyK also showed us some love .


The Chinese version of this daily briefing: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=10729.msg141130#msg141130

hello everyone,

Recently members of chinese community had a discussion on how to improve user expeirences of BTS wallet, so that we can introduce it to our friends, especially female friends. During this discussion, many people have proposed many good suggestions, especially jerry (aka J-God). So we decided to collect these suggestions and propose it here.

To increase readibility, we summed it up into a mind map (below). Same content  will also be presented in text after this figure. So you can choose either way you like.




Suggestions of Jerry (aka J-God) to improve BTS wallet user experiences

1. While releasing new version of BTS wallets
Current Status:
- Because of the 'special networking environment',
the downloading speed of github could be extremely slow or unstable
- The downoaded files could be broken if the network is untable
Suggestions:
- While new versions of BTS wallet binaries is released,
their SHA checksums should be posted in github site at the same time
- people in china can share with each other
- I3 or some of us can setup mirror sites
- files can be easily downloaded and check the SHA checksum posted in the github, so we can make sure that files are not modified/broken
- While the built-in function of wallet detects a new version of wallet,
it should also provide the link to BTS wallet download page, so we can conviently check the changelog and download new binaries.

2. Windows version BTS wallet
Current Status:
- 32bit and 64bit installers are sepatated, which makes people feel confused.
Suggestions
- a unified installer should be provided for windows,
and the installer can automatically detect the OS is 32bit/64bit.
- If 64bit installer is still unstable, please address this point so that users can make their choice.

3. While installing BTS wallet
Current Status:
- current installer can only specify the path of wallet programs to install
- the path of wallet data can not be specified
- the default path in windows is inside a hidden folder = > inconvenient to use. Furthermore, if the system failed (e.g., c drive partition error, accidentially formated), the wallet data could be lost
Suggestions:
- installer can let users to choose the path of wallet data
- if the installer detected that there are partitions other than c drive,
the default path of wallet data should not be in c drive
- the default wallet data path should not be inside of a hidden folder

4. Layout of GUI wallet
Current Status:
- While entering passwords in lock screen,
the screen does not show that whether the Caps Lock is open
- the internationalization is not complete (chinese interface), only the messages from web wallet is translated
- messages from bitshares core program is not translated
- messages from qt framework is not translated
- e.g., main menu,  status bar in the bottom
- e.g., 'Block are synced' should be shown as '區塊已經同步完成'
- the progress of syncing shown in status bar is not intuitive. Currently, we only get "days left to be synced". Also, the progress of syncing is not shown in lock screen
Suggestions:
- While entering passwords in lock screen,the screen should show that whether the Caps Lock is open
- an .lng file can be posted in a collaboration platform (e.g., google doc),
so that everyone can help translating it
- The progress of syncing should be shown as ETA, and the percentage of syncing can also be provided
- the progress of syncing should be shown in the lock screen

5. the ease of use of BTS wallet
Current Status:
- basically only advanced users know how to use it, newbies would be scared away
- there is no help page while pressing F1
- we can not check the balance of specified public key
- we can not check public keys with top100 balances,
but this site can do this:
(can not list this url due to this account is a newbie account)

Suggestions:
- find a newbie to help troubleshooting, especially female newbie users: 1.) find a newbie who never know about bitcoin, and only have basic knowledge in computer science. 2.) let her use the wallet. 3.) record her complaint and improve base on it
- while F1 is pressed, a simple guide with pictures should be shown
- newly added functions should be labeled in special ways, and a link to its guide should be promoted while using it. e.g., short
- the functionality to lookup the balance of specified public key should be provided in GUI, also the abilty to check the balance to check a bunch of public keys. this will help exchanges to prove that their funds are sufficient
- add the functionality to list top100 public keys with highest balances

6. GUI Security
Suggestions:
- the fields for entering passwords in lock screen should be anti-keylogger
- the commands/operations should be divided into 2 categories: commands that moves funds or operate private keys and etc. For commands that moves funds or operate private keys,
another 'transaction password', which is different from wallet password,
should be entered to execute these commands.
- For transaction password: 1) transaction password has to be different from wallet password. 2)  this can avoid private being buffered in ram continuously, the private key should only be extracted for short term while the transaction password is provided. 3) to maintain convenience, small payouts (the limit can be customized) can be executed without passwords, but the total amount of small transaction per day should be limited (just like VISA)

7. Wallet syncing
Current Status:
- often 'no connection' or only a few connections
- have to find someone to provide node list, but there is no way to easily add a list of nodes in GUI
Suggestions:
- a function to let people who have good node list to easily extract some 'human-friendly code'
- people with poor connection can easily add a list of nodes by entering this 'code'

8. Wallet Backup
Current Status:
- we can only manually export json files
Suggestions:
- should be able to define the path of backup files
- users should be able to make a schedule or a list of conditions to determine when the backup will be made besides automatic backup.
e.g., you can determine everyday or everytime when a transaction is made,
the wallet would be backed up.

Hi everyone.

Just to clarify. We haven't announced anything because we haven't changed anything

Plan A is still. Make our own blockchain using the BitShares toolkit.

If ever the entire DAC would gain by merging with the SuperDAC, then we will consider it. But right now, we are sticking with plan A since I think it's much wiser to take a wait and see approach anyway.

What if the superDAC is the best thing ever coded? Then sure, we will list pros and cons and see what everyone thinks and start that whole debate.
But at least we'll have a precedent and much less moving parts and "what ifs" to consider.


So plan A it is. PeerTracks needs to plug into SOMETHING and there is a lot of work left to be done there.

All this to say, nothing has changed and we will be vocal if we ever start considering it. You will all be in the loop.

Hope this clears things up.

thanks for your information!
we have translated it here:

to let peopple also know about this.
Thank you

Advice wanted: I'm considering running a marketing delegate.
寻求建议：我正在考虑运行一个专注于市场推广的受托人席位


我是一个独立、有钱的、不断冒出新主意和投资到新行业的企业家。我有很多空闲的时间，而且对Bitshares很着迷。
由于我已经投入了大量的时间（甚至是金钱）到Bitshares里，我一直在考虑运行一个能获得报酬的市场推广受托人。
我相信Bytemaster在某处说过，他只想开发者成为受托人，所以我不知道他会怎么想这事。
如果当选了，我会专注我的才能用于我最了解的事情上：市场营销。

我想BitUSD（以及其他比特资产）在西方国家以外的其他区域有着很大的潜力。
阿根廷，希腊，厄瓜多尔，西班牙，菲律宾，等等。

将我们建立在一个这样的缝隙市场（原文说利基市场，市场营销学的一个概念，指大市场里被人忽略的一些小市场，但占据了这些小市场可以有意想不到的效果）上，可以使我们的市值显著增加，而且会在水平层面上带来其他相关的缝隙市场的业绩疯狂增长。

我正在想和预期能做到的事：
在reddits的关键次级版面发动广告推广活动。

将BitUSD这个主意介绍给美国以外的比特币商业，这些地区对真正的美元需求率很高，但那里的美元供应量却很少。举例：BitPagos就是一个可行的推广对象。

联系为比特资产商家端整合计划服务的开发者。
联系为比特资产服务的手机钱包开发者（如IOS和安卓）。
根据阿根廷的地区代码，进行BitUSD的空投活动（这需要一个手机钱包），
在阿根廷的一些大学里进行BitUSD的邮件空投活动。

你会支持我成为一个受托人吗？
