I remember that CoinHoarder use to be supporter of BTS.
What happened?   

Meh, kind of a lot of reasons.

- I realized the Larimers are greedy when they stopped sharedropping PTS/AGS, due to the stuff with the Bitshares DAC mergers, and how the Steem project started.
- I disagreed with the lack of development (pretty much only GUI work done since Dan left)
- I felt like my opinions and ideas weren't taken seriously by the community.
- I realized there are better designed DEXs that will eventually come to fruition that don't use IOUs or derivatives.
- Tether kicked bitUSD's butt.
- The proliferation of Bitshares vaporware fork scams that never seem to come to fuition (or at least to their full potential) by "community" members.

Even with all that stuff, I still root for Bitshares because I was such an avid supporter in its beginning. Some people bought BTS because of my advice, so I want Bitshares to succeed. I just dont own any anymore. I have always been a Bitshares supporter, but I am more honest and blunt than most, so my posts may not come off that way.

Am I the only one here that thinks tether usd has become total scam ?

Tether has zero proven backing collateral, and is centrally issued. I'd avoid it at all costs.

You need to interact with a full node which provides RPC access.

Would this be paid work? I've written a few BSIPs recently.

Execution time of 1.5 minutes? Pathetic! Bring it down to several seconds then we're talking. In the mean time, ETH remains garbage tier baby crypto investment.

Good luck getting anything added to wikipedia.

You need newspapers to have written about bitshares before your bitshares page evades insta-deletion by the community driven moderation.

We're doing this because there are issues in steem and we loved the concept of steem and both got burned by the implementation of steem.

The initial distribution of steem was pretty bullshit, and the steem network has ended up with massive whales and drama, heck it was officially 'announced' on april fools day on bitsharestalk, I genuinely believed it was a joke when initially announced thus missed the distribution they did to the first couple months of content creators.

If performing a snapshot/sharedrop, it utilizing vesting balances would be smart so that it can't be massively dumped from the start and that whales aren't as prevalent until far later down the road.

It'd be worth talking to the golos guys about how they kickstarted their chain. It's otherwise a trade secret within steemit.

I feel like this is a power grab and won't vote to approve this.

How can the authorities have any impact on the DEX? Gateways and centralized exchanges are the only vulnerable entities, of which BTS is neither.

$50k over 15 months isn't too bad for some of the work which you propose, however mandating that you're the one that dictates what work must be done seems like undermining subsequent worker proposals.

"There can be only one representative for the BitShares blockchain, as otherwise other parties will use this to disqualify all." Yet there are many representatives of bitcoin and nobody cares about that given that those who control it change over time (POW), much like how shareholders change over time.

"Propose changes to the BTS holders in order to become compliant with specific regulations" Care to elaborate on what this means?

If you mean exchanges need someone official to contact, then they can contact witnesses and committee members whilst halting wallets if there's a serious issue. If they're not confident enough to talk to these key members then they're not going to talk to you.
