Same here.

You can comment out the dev_tests in the CMakeLists.txt in the tests folder. Although I think if you pull the latest that fix has already been made.

General Discussion / Re: When will BitsharesX be released?
« on: June 05, 2014, 05:21:30 am »

I got what the T , in XT, stands for.
 What the X stands for ? DPOS?

The connection to the X family is that it is the proto-DAC (snapshot target) for all the BTS X chains.
So I suppose "PTS X" would have been an appropriate name as well. Sorry if it's misleading.

I thought the X was in reference to BitShares bank and e'X'change...

Stakeholder Proposals / Re: Candidate Billboards
« on: June 02, 2014, 07:21:14 pm »

I am bdNoble, the Noble bitShares delegate.

I promise to always act in a way that would do my name justice. I will donate at least 10% of my profits to charity. Also I will not be anonymous. You can can look me up at facebook.com/bdNoble. A website and more updates will follow.

I have an icon too if I can figure out how to post it with an edit.

General Discussion / Questions about delegates
« on: May 29, 2014, 01:16:42 pm »
So how are the first 100 delegates chosen? I know there was talk of a waiting line for alternate delegates to immediately take the place of a fired delegate. What would be the process to get in that line? Is there a minimum amount of stake that one needs to be considered for a delegate position? If an average person like myself has an average computer but a good internet connection (100Mb with pretty much guaranteed 100% up time) would I have a chance at being a delegate? :)

Muse/SoundDAC / Re: Website name. Brainstorming
« on: April 28, 2014, 12:42:36 pm »

Just throwing ideas around, if it can inspire great ideas to others!

- Blast it
- Bump it up (in reference to the idea of pushing the song up the charts by buying shares and promoting it)
- Crank it
- Boost it

+5%

I think the voting aspect should be much more prominent than the trading/making money aspect so as to not frighten off the average Joe music listener.

I really like Blast as it reminds me of a time when SoundBlaster sound cards were the greatest thing since sliced bread. :)

Although something with the word Billboard will definitely evoke the Top40 Charts aspect to the everyday person.

General Discussion / Re: Our new website is now LIVE!

A minor point: I've seen "bitshares", "BitShares", and "bitShares" in different areas on the forum and website and in the logo. Which capitalization scheme is the optimal one, and should it be used consistently everywhere?

Unfortunately all variants are used on the new website. It would probably be best to choose a standardized version, while still trademarking, registering, domain squatting or whatever needs to be done, all of them.

BitShares is brand (when not part of the logo) 
bitShares is logo... (only when used in the logo)
bitshares refers to individual shares. 

I agree it is confusing.


I think it makes most sense to stick with the branding "bitShares" which matches the logo. You don't see anyone anywhere write IPhone or EBay. Although in this texting/blogging/facebook generation people tend to write things in all lowercase when having casual conversation. To this extent many companies are rebranding to use only lowercase. Check out the newest logos of macy's, jcpenny, and sears. There are also plenty of companies that have been all lowercase for a while: amazon, intel, adidas.

I found a random blog post that mentions this trend directly: http://www.duetsblog.com/2011/04/articles/branding/lower-case-branding-visual-identity/

So ultimately "BitShares" is unnecessary if the logo branding is "bitShares", and "bitshares" should be fine for casual conversation but not in any formal paper or on the main website. When you refer to individual shares I would think you should just say "shares".

So when will be the snapshot take place for this particular DAC? any timeframe?

We have learned it is always bad to give any time estimates since it somehow turns into a promise in some people's minds.

In any event, it is up to the five teams of developers who will be having a friendly competition called "Don't Be Last!"

 :)

Good call. When Apple announces a product it goes like this:
"Today we are announcing our really awesome new toy! And you can buy from us right now!"
Best not to announce a date until it's truly ready. If I'm not mistaken just about everything in the pipeline is expected to be ready in the Spring... ish.  :)

Yeah I remember that. I brought it up because www.MasterCoin.org has chosen to launch their Distributed Exchange on the Ides of March. So based on the current competition its worth noting that we should try to get out the MVP sooner than later. I do believe that we ultimately have the better product but the longer we wait the more we start to risk our "First" status.

General Discussion / Ides of March
« on: March 12, 2014, 01:35:00 pm »
The Ides of march are nearly upon us. Is there any status update to say that we are on track for the first XT release?

Or should we beware the Ides of March? 

:o
