Like the sounds of these ideas to some degree but don't like the continuous interest rate.

It's not interest but rather appreciation of assets by the predictable modification of the price feed.

Anything with an interest rate may destroy itself after thirty cycles.  Whatever those cycles may be.  Brings me back to a special asset that I have been thinking about for longer than bitcoin has been around.  May have to dig up those notes and further explore something that would be between the USD and HERO that may not has so much interest pressure.  But more of a mechanism that minimizes the long tern interest destruction factor that I have some long term concern of.

What do you mean cycles? The hertz sin waves? That'd still be almost 3 years though

I'd be interested in reading your previous research.

I was thinking about NEMESIS last night.

Say if we were to decrease the feed price at a rate of 0.25% each day, with a start price of $1000 the token would function for 9958 days (~27.29 years) before hitting the max decimal places (0.00000001). If we had a higher starting feed price (Greater than $1000) then we could increase the feed price reduction rate whilst maintaining more than a decade of functionality..

Holding the NEMESIS as long term savings wouldn't make sense, however given that shorters who lend the token into existence would experience a debt destruction rate of 0.25% (+) per day there would be overwhelming sell pressure at (or below) the feed price.

The risk that those holding NEMESIS are left holding a sour bag nobody wants to buy isn't a concern given that they can simply settle the MPA and margin call the shorters. Given that there would be overwhelming sell pressure there would be a very small likelihood of a global-settlement/blackswan as there would be available sell orders at or below the feed price.

Would anyone be interested in the debt destroying Nemesis token? Can you think of a better name, given that NEM exists and nemesis might infringe on resident evil's copyrights (possibly?).

Hey,

Several users have been asking for an updated bitshares client update on the bitshares.org website, the last client release was 22nd may. Who is in charge of bitshares.org and or release management?

Cheers

Sidechains (2 way peg) would be excellent, however wouldn't it potentially make EBAs redundant?

I think it'd be far less politically controversial to sidechain with eos than to migrate/merge BTS into/onto EOS.

please check roadmap for the open source explorer finally released!

and TODO list for version 1:

Great work oxarbitrage! Your roadmap references full time work for two weeks, not worth throwing together a worker proposal to cover expenses/time?

Keep it up

Vote for the BSIP-018 worker proposal! https://steemit.com/bitshares/@cm-steem/hold-bitshares-go-vote-for-worker-proposal-201707-bsip18-1-14-56

Wrote up a steemit post on the idea discussed today: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@cm-steem/migrating-bitcoin-onto-the-bts-dex-via-uia-snapshot-sharedrop

Bump!

What do you think of performing manual UIA sharedrops against participants in fill orders for MPA on the BTS DEX?

I'm thinking of taking the list of an MPA's asset holders, then grabbing each of these user's trading history for the last month, then filter for fill orders & evaluate their market making participation for sharedrop issuance.. should we only be incentivizing fill orders or should we also consider incentivizing collateral?
