Windows build, on my PC,  it doesn't seem be able to complete the profile creation step, always tuck at Creating Profile (100%).

Ctr-C closing the command line session resulted in invalid login when relauch.

Yes, this is the exact same problem that I have. On entering password, the Login dialog wobbles, then clears password box. The command window that appears show and error ending with: th_a  application.cpp:341 bts::application::load_profile

I got this when I put in the wrong password.  I had to exit Keyhotee client completely.  It worked when restarted and the correct password was put in the first attempt.

Powerball, DAC sounds cool, and allot faster to develop than BitShares.
What is the status on this one?
Have we found some people to develop it?

It is on our roadmap, to be undertaken when we are able to raise enough funds to pay for its development.

But if some other developer were to start credible work on it, we would be happy to cheer them on. 

It doesn't matter to us who develops these DACs, we will invest in them on their merits like everyone else.

This generates decentralization in developers just like the DACs themselves.

Once we have multiple credible developers, hopefully on different continents, the whole industry will be much safer.

Stan,

I honestly think one of the first and most important tasks of Invictus Innovations should be to develop and release an exquisite DAC development kit. If this were any other industry, say the gaming industry for example and you're building a platform for construction of games then you release an easy to use development kit to facilitate the process. If it were mobile technology like Android then you'd release a kit which any programmer can make use of using whatever language they know.

The reason most developers (myself included) don't know where or how to get started right now is because there isn't a development kit. This would mean a lot of documentation, reference protocols and a high level interface. If there are enough programmers opening up the development so that other programmers can write reference implementations, or templates, that could help too.

I've taken a look at Keyhotee and I can figure out what it's doing, and I've looked at Protoshares as well. Protoshares is based mostly on Bitcoin and Bitcoin is very daunting for anybody to mess around with, as a result not a lot of people are able to make anything more than small changes. When I tried to compile Protoshares I could not get it to compile in Linux due to the various dependencies.

Bitshares in my opinion is where it really gets interesting. I hope the API for it is high level enough that I can build on top of it and that development can take place in many programming languages at once. I could easily see a scenario where we are building DACs on top of DACs.

I would encourage the creation of PTS 2.0 (Angelcoins) that would be another 10% of Bitshares's 21 million, so 20% of total Bitshares would be claimed at the beginning through these two rounds of "venture".

THESE you could use in the way you want, where you let people invest weekly and they get a % of the Angelshares proportional to their Bitcoin or Protoshares contribution (and you should probably accept protoshares at a premium relative to Bitcoins)

2.1 million would be  21 months @ 100k Angelcoins per month - The deal stays the same with Protosharesholders, you get to raise a shitload of money to finance multiple DACs at once and try your new mechanism.

Most importantly, you haven't committed to what you'll do with the other 80%, so when you really solve the problem and have the RIGHT idea you won't have tied yourself down like you're trying to do with this 100% to PTS holders nonsense.

Who besides me would support this?

In effect, those that were able to correctly guess what others would guess were considered more trustworthy and less biased.

I've been thinking about DACs that involve individual opinion for a certain topic, but since in a blockchain P2P system, every piece of data is publicly available, many people would wait to see what other people 'said' before declare their opinions (which can be automated by a robot for the interest of an individual).

I haven't figured out a solution after talking to certain people.
