Title: Join the BitShares Community Today!
Post by: Thom on January 22, 2015, 04:55:40 am

I just discovered this page, having passed it up thinking there's nothing new for me there, its a pitch / invitation to a community I'm already a part of.

Then I see items #6, "Mine BitShares" and I'm dumbfounded - WTF, there's no mining in DPOS!

So I click the link and find the minebitshares.com website, using the antiquated BTSX moniker as well as BitSharesX, names that I thought were obsoleted by the (November?) merger.

I expect these names and the website were not chosen or influenced by the BTS / BitShares team, but it puzzles me that bytemaster would promote this confusion. My comment is that there needs to be some type of explanation for what exactly is being mined by the pool and the rational for the names.

Seems like a marketing blunder / nightmare to me.

I removed that item from the list until they get their branding up to date.
