If we had custom dividend rules for UIA, you could potentially set an x% issuance per year to be distributed to said UIA asset holders - you would be able to migrate POS cryptos to such a system with a one-way-peg.

How would we cover the 100% collateral though? Poloniex does this with a centralized insurance fund..

Ideally all witnesses should be publishing feeds.

How much "interest" do our miners make daily?  Do they want to share it with the users of their chain?

Or do they choose to keep all the freshly created BTS for themselves?

Your questions were answered long ago when you chose not to subsidize liquidity, and so the capable man who wanted to code liquidity incentives for us for free, left.

Back then (before we voted to give our miners a raise) we said it would be too dillutive to incentivize market makers.  How hypocritical are we?

Witnesses (what you're referring to as miners) draw funds from the reserve pool, we're talking about reallocating fees for the purpose of profit sharing for asset holders.
The guy that left wasn't going to do it for free.
Who cares about the hypocracy of others for past forgotten conversations? The point of this thread is to look forwards not backwards.

Can you elaborate on what you believe is going on? Are witnesses malfunctioning/misbehaving?

so who's formulating the idea and approaching blockpay.ch (via email)?

so... anyone?

Why not you fav? Your idea, take it and run with it. Just think, if you put the same effort into writing ken an email to look at key posts in this thread you believe are convincing, the task you're requesting others to do would already be done.

I know @kenCode and his team have a full plate of work, so I am doubtful on that basis alone he'll be interested in taking this on, but it never hurts to ask. IMO it's a worthy project that has great potential. Whether he agrees or wants to invest the effort to assess the code and then get a proposal written is any one's guess but his.

We could all discuss it in the next Bitshares hangout in person too.

find a dev > get a quotation > then discuss > get shit done

or discuss on a hangout and spin in cycles like this thread.

And we can't get 'dev > quote > discuss > get shit down' done in a hangout instead of emailing a single company?  I believe that the Bitshares hangouts are tremendously productive and more effective than emails.

I would argue perhaps we should offer 1% to anyone who holds BTS. It's a small amount but would be a great marketing tool and generate interest. Just like the dredit card companies like avertising 1% cashback on purchase.

Yeah, I believe that dividends should be distributed against both BTS and BitAsset holders. How much more should we incentivise holding bitAssets over BTS thpough?
Should it be that bitAsset fees go to bitAsset holders, and BTS goes to BTS holders?
I was listening to the 3rd Bitshares hangout (https://soundcloud.com/beyond-bitcoin-hangouts/bts3-w-christopher-hering) and they were talking about users specifying the asset they wanted their dividend to be payed in, which would be pretty cool!

Stay away from the not because it sounds a certain way, but once you start promising percent points on things in a network that is based on set fees and not percent points, you will just be setting up the network for failure.

What about 'x% on anything' a variable interest rate, or do you think this is more confusing than just 'earn a share of the BTS DEX profits' ?

• 1.  Implement our profit sharing code thanks to Peerplays development
• 2.  Implementing Chainbase (thanks to steem) so that we can have real trading tools in the GUI with historical charts and graphs. This will attract a lot of high end traders who want to be able to do analysis but cannot due to lack of metric tools in our GUI

Numbered your list for easier referencing.

1. The code you refer to, is that this: https://github.com/BunkerChainLabsInc/peerplays-profitshare Or are you referring to the updated Peerplays code base? If the later, could you elaborate on the software license in use for Peerplays? The above github repo is MIT, but I'm unsure about peerplays itself.
2. This? https://github.com/bytemaster/chainbase What are the potential benefits of integration for Bitshares?
