Yes I agree with both, Rune's response was a good start and even if the schedule changes frequently, it is very helpful. Thank you! I can't run the delegate, but I hope this spurs someone to take action.

lmao

Please elaborate.

hpenvy2, call it what you want. I do not desire to argue about the semantics; my point was that it operates much like a company with investors. I give money, people get paid to implement ideas and make me profit. I believe this is a generally excepted concept of how bitshares works.

yes, I am on all of those except Nullstreet. Regardless, I was trying to make a point that we do not seem to have a solid plan for ultimate profitabity and adoption. We have some things in the works, but I do not feel they are enough. I do not feel that simply implementing those that are in the works is enough. Beside what I listed off the top of my head, I was asking to see a layout of the complete features planned that with make people use bitshares, bitassets, or other bitshares things.

I think we should have some central location where every feature that is going to happen is layed out with a schedule and who is working on them. Not just github for code, or Nullstreet for marketing, but everything in one place. This will help people to be able to vote out people that are not doing what they should and increase the productivity of delegates. I've just continued this idea on a new thread: Implementation/Management Delegate Proposal. Please read.

As an investor in your company, I want to know the overall plan and schedule, and I'm sure everyone else does too. Don't say "we try not to give schedule predictions because people will get angry if we miss them." Well, I am angry now, so give it your best shot. I'll forgive you if you guess wrong, but I at least want to see that you have something to guess about.

You need a plan, and a good one. You need some leadership. You need a schedule. You need people to execute it. Show it to me.

Off the top of my head I want to know:

Light wallet
Light wallet with market engine
Integrated bitcoin wallet
Gateways
Some sort of marketing push about anything

Sorry for being so rude, but I am angry both that I am loosing my money and that this great vision is failing to come to life. Thank you.

Maybe even a derivative of crude oil price would be o.k.? Like average price at the pump for U.S....I understand that it is not directly correlated but at least it would give traders access to the market in some form.

...if that will not work and they have to use future prices, than it sounds like we have to have client development. For now probably not important enough.

@teenagecheese can you be more specific about the type of bitOIL you want to buy?
To what price exactly you want it to be pegged ?

I don't know the specifics, that is what I am asking for a delegate to do, figure out what feeds would be good and provide them. The two that exist are said to be "daily feeds," that sounds to be good enough to start. Obviously I would prefer the most accurate and frequent possible. The better service the feed providing delegates can provide, the better it will be.

Edit: if the delegates need more money to pay for a feed, sobeit, let them provide it and ask for higher pay to finance it.

I just want to be able to use the bitshares market to invest in oil at todays low prices (~$50/barrel). However that materializes, I don't care.

Maybe you're right it won't get too much traction, but I don't think it will hurt. We have it available so we should market it. Advertise everything we got. Every small bit helps.
