This idea got mostly very positive feedback, that's why I think nothing should stop up from doing this
Event will continue all day long, so it is no important from which part of the world you are.
This event is 100% community driven If you have any ideas how to improve upcoming event or you wrote somewhere about it, please write a comment about that.
Original post:We all know, that bitshares is a great product, but it cannot shows it's greatness, because we have chicken egg problem with liquidity and new users. In my opinion we don't need a liquidity on all markets. We just need one solid market, and other should emerge later.
All statistics about bitshares says, that together we all have a lot of money. Why we just not create an order on selected exchange all in the same time? We should have instant liquidity. In my opinion the perfect market for that is
USD:BTC.
To encourage people to be part of this event, we could fund a prize. Something what bring an attention of all bitshares users - $1000[edit] most of people in the pool said, that they would take part in that event even without a prize, so I think for now we don't have to use it.
I assume that we could filter all transaction from specific day, to get all transaction ids from finalized transaction on specific market. This list of ids should be an input to the previously written algorithm, which with given seed (for example, hash of the last transaction in specified day) should select exactly one account.
I think perfect date for such event is:
29th Feb 2016 - once you hear about liquidity event date, you should not miss it!
29 days it's a lot of time, to advertise this among whole cryptocurrency community.
This is a proposition, but please consider it seriously. In my opinion it is worth a shot. Maybe this is not flawless, so we should think about all bad and good sites of this, to polish this idea.
