1. Brand Clarity
Openledger.info is not the best domain name. It should be openledger.com also it should link directly to the dex not to a site explaining all the other ico projects ccedk is involved in.
Theres currently 4 domains involved and its messy. ccedk.com, openledger.info, obits.io, bitshares.openledger.info
Info about Openledger/obits should be contained within the dex under a separate header menu tab called home.

2. UIAs
It is confusing to have both TRADE.X and OPEN.X available as coin deposit options.  Only Openledger UIAs should be available.
Poloniex doesn't offer BITSTAMP.X as a gateway and why would it??
The deposit/withdraw page should be more like poloniex with just a list of cryptocoins supported by OL and deposit and withdraw options next to each. (no drop down menus)
Also Obits shouldn't be listed as one of the trade tabs on the exchange page. BTC, USD and BTS are plenty.

3. Login to Openledger
The current method gaining access to and operating a bitshares account maybe technically great but it is just not user friendly.
Nearly every service on the web lets you sign in with a username an password. This is the system people know and understand instinctively and you can't change it if you want people to use your service.  This idea has been around for over a year now but theres been no progress on it, I don't know if it is a front end or backend job but it is essential to attracting and retaining users.

4. Market Making
Openledgers UIA offerings are great but theres no liquidity on them. You need market making/ arbitrage bots that can copy the order books from other exchanges and provide liquidity. @alt has a MM bot that could help with this. 


5. Account Page
Simplify the account page, I suggest.
- Display all open orders on the account page.
- Remove the vertical menu. Or toggle it as closed by default.

By the way, the bot works like charm. Very easy to use and it actually makes profit. This is amazing!

Edit: YAY, I see total values in balances! This client is improving at impressive pace!

This is impressive and developing rapidly. This is exciting precisely because liquidity is bitshares biggest issue, this will allow many people to provide liquidity and become market makers.  More people need to know about it, Maybe I will make a demonstration video to show others how to use it. If everyone put $500 towards the Market Maker Bots then maybe bitusd would be liquid enough to be useful.

What is Stan Larimer referring to in this steemit post? Is it yet another graphene chain? Does it compete with bitshares or steemit?

good to see someone actually making use of the worker proposals

I'm back.

Don't know why or how but I'm back.  Didn't do anything differently but it allowed me to join the group again. :-)

This is an exciting index fund, very impressive.

I love your dedication to multiple witness feeds because as you say nobody will invest big money if prices rely on a single person.

I hope you invest in a short asset name for it.
 

I'm going to assume you already understand how bts smartcoins work in this post. AKA bitassets AKA MPAs

I think creating BitSteem would make alot of sense as a smartcoin.
Firstly because of the natural synergys between the bitshares and steemit users but more importantly this would be a bit asset that many people would actually want to short.

Whales with vested SP might want to hedge their large positions by shorting steem.
Someone who wanted to power down their SP over 2 years could be guaranteed a fixed payout if shorted correctly
When people call Steem a scam you can suggest they put their money where their mouth is and short it.
The issue with BitUSD, BitGold, etc is it is only created when theres a trader willing to short it into existence so the supply has been limited so far.
I think there would be a good supply and decent liquidity of BitSteem because of an appetite to short from traders.

I've also posted this on steemit if you wanna give me some upvote love:
