Well I just realized that I won't be around Friday either. There was a large group of people last week, so if anyone cares to show up to have a pow-wow, feel free. Maybe even record it if it is interesting ?
So.. continue with the questions in this thread. There is also a reddit thread but I have reddit blocked due being a time waste of a site. :) Getting more activity on reddit would be preferable, I just wanted a list here for myself and other questions people might have and can't make it to reddit.
I'll be at Cryptolina on the 15th and 16th.
just skipped .. there is hole punched in the 10sec raster :)
What happens when a block is missed? Is it skipped, or is does the next block signer shift their broadcast time backwards ?
Can a delegate in Bitshares X frontrun?
What in the network would allow detection of this type of attack if it exists ?

*confirmed* although i am not BM :PCan a delegate in Bitshares X frontrun?

I believe this is THE MAIN reason for the 'Get What you asked for' order matching algo. Will be happy to hear Dan confirm/reject that.
I would just like to state that even though the question is answered, Dan may very likely be asked anyway. :)

Actuall, I thought about this a little and an other question for BM would be:
can you imageing extra features and channels to communicate with the delegates (in particular the upcoming delegate that is to sign your transaction in the block)?
An example: I am a trader .. I see a big sell wall and want to buy it as quickly as possible .. wall street make that easy .. processing within milliseconds .. in DPOS you need to wait for 10 sec to be sure.
But, if you were able to send your transaction directly to the delegate, and if the delegate (the one that supposedly signs your tx) had a channel to communicate with the participant, they could make a side-blockchain deal!
i.e.
- I pay you 1BTSX extra fee if you were to guarantee to put my transaction in the front of your transactions ..
- you get 10 extra btsx for guaranteeing that I can buy that sell wall and no one else does.
sure all this is for bots to be performed inbetween-blocks. Maybe we could come up with sth and use that also for other features.
Just my thoughts .. hope some understand what I want to tell you :)
Possible questions so far from this thread -I can answer some right now if you want.
What does it mean technically to say that a wallet is "unlocked" ? That the private key is exposed in memory? Does a locked wallet process transactions ?Yes, private key is exposed in memory and has to be as you need it for scanning
What happens when a block is missed? Ok, so it is skipped. Is there anythingThere just is no block .. the transactions that were supposed to go in there
put on the blockchain saying that the delegate missed a block? Is there just a
null block in the chain? Howzzit work ?
How is voting from a cold wallet being addressed? Will we see this ? If itBM already answered that somewhere. If you send you stake into coldstorage you
isn't going to be done, why? etc.
Can a delegate in Bitshares X frontrun? What in the network would allowGood question!
detection of this type of attack if it exists ? By this attack I do mean
delegate. I could frontrun on the block producing level. In theory, there are
opportunities where a delegate can determine it would be profitable to purchase
an asset themselves and scalp trades. I was curious about your thoughts on
this ?
So now with DPOS we have this new type of miner, the delegate. At some pointBM probably will answer sth. along: the market will decide!
the Bitshares X network becomes more in control by the delegates than by the
dacsunlimited. So what happens if there is a split in delegates where there is
disagreement on which release to use. Say 40% did not want to use a new fork
and 60% proceeded to use it. Thoughts on how this might play out in real life
?
Thin clients? Plans? placement on roadmap ?Afaik, planned, probably not upcoming. probably not so high in the todo list.
