FFs.

I previously tried to register my own first name via the faucet, and the faucet swallowed the name. I lost that name.

Then, at 1:30 am on the 9th of June I scrambled to register approximately ten of my own current, active, trademarks, so as to avoid suffering any nasty 'prefix' junk. I chose to use my own BTS funds because:

I can fucking afford to pay my own fees; I don't need the faucet.

The faucet totally fucked up my registration of 'Harry' on the blockchain some months ago.

Please tell me I can keep my damn names. This deadline I'm hearing about the 8th - that got extended until the 17th? for Name Narwhal something... who registered $100 names using a faucet, sorry? 

A little consideration/advise would be appreciated. I had two perfectly decent reasons for not using a faucet, using the faucet wasn't the requirement.. I'm feeling quite tested by the arbitrary and frenetic rule rewriting. Bitshares and block chain appeal lies in permanence.

I've had issues syncing with 0.6.1, but most have been solved with Force Quit, and restarting.  Worst case is just remove/rename the /Library/Application Support/BitShares/peers.leveldb folder, and restart client.

Can you or others confirm if removing peers.leveldb always or often fixes this problem for you?

Well, it did seem to work, tho i've only tried it the 1 time, so the sample size is rather tiny.  I've since figured out to save the entire BitShares folder for a backup, as redownloading the entire blockchain was a timely hassle.

What are the steps in doing this?
I'm finding that every time I install a new version I am re-downloading the entire block-chain, and its just so time-consuming recently I can't really do it effectively anymore (especially as I am having syncing issues on the last couple of versions), I'm almost giving up on using the client for trading. Much appreciated if somebody has the preferred step-by-step method.

Thanks, didnt know this. Though the market issued assets also had to be launched through some kind of payment.

Your understanding was correct, they must first be created by someone paying the fee according to the name length, similar to user assets. Anyone can create a market asset, but because you'd want the symbol to be the same as the actual asset, you're generally looking at a three-letter symbol and thus a fee of 500k BTS.

I've been In contact with Rassah from mycelium, and it seems that the reason they went with coinapult is because most people outside the Bitshares ecosystem think that the market pegged assets are debt based...

The other point of contention for Rassah was that bitUSD pays interest - this was a warning flag to him.

Not sure why this is the case but its interesting to note, I wonder where this information came from? It seems to me that there's value in collaborating with companies already entrenched in the bitcoin space and making them aware of how Bitshares works first. Ride the coat tails of bitcoin's success to increased liquidity for the market pegs and a better system...

And from a purely academic point of view.
What would it take to add to the number of market pegged assets on the exchange?

I assume now that we sticking to the one blockchain to rule them all that new assets would simply be added to the current exchange.

Or would other assets need to be introduced on a forked blockchain with some kind of cross-chain trading?

I um, I believe, that when sufficient delegates provide price feeds for an asset pair, the market comes into being automatically.

Yes but to get the asset there in the first place?
