Good dialogue,    Good to see the meeting of the minds come together with great ideas.   Dan Larimer is a smart guy and we are trusting that together  we will guide and find  green pastures and still waters.

Whatever system will be more efficient and keep us decentralized is probably the best means to reach our ends.

On a different note:
I have a question regarding btc and the block chain.
I know Dan is not a big fan of the btcblockchain, however many VC and companies as well as overstock are building a lot of infrastructure in it. And it is currently the largest network supported in the world.  Would it be wrong to integrate  some of bitshares technology to use  the infrastructure as well?   

(disclosure)  I am invested in btc as well.

O.P. is right on.

I recently got my computer repaired by an online repair shop. 


"do you accept bitcoin?"   I asked,

"no, we don't accept that currency"    he replied,

"I had to ask,  did you know the transaction costs are much lower than credit cards?"  I interjected

"unfortunately bitcoin is a dying currency"  he insisted,

"Did you know you could peg your btc to the USD so that your sales profits are not so volatile?"  I finally stated,

"  .......  silence"    you could hear a pin drop 

"Ok, here is my credit card number"  I finally said.


The point of the above scenario being,  when a bitpay coin base or other bitcoin acceptance system can convert btc directly to bitusd and back and forth and streamline the process then things could get interesting, I think.

thoughts welcome.    

If bitsharesx can convince  openbazaar... and ebay to accept  bitusd,   we bitshares owners would be very very happy campers.   

The beauty of bitshares is if the USD has problems, we can always peg another asset to be used such as  bitbtc.   

I guess peertracks is the next big DAC   anybody investing?

Any speculation as to whether the music industry will like peertracks.

Now thats encouraging   

" Everything should be worked in parallel... open baazar, bitwage, etc. Our protocol is different so it takes time to integrate, we should be forking any open source projects to integrate with BTSX."

Good find.   

seems like a perfect fit.   

man I'm tired of those banking fees every month.

wow,  the possibilities seem endless.  Great application and proposed real world problem/ solution demonstrated here.  digital currencies, and hopefully BTSX is able help make it happen.
