You ask for a budget of 1000 Dollar:
You should first share a link on steemit, whaleshares/bitsharestalk.io for your project and you get instant reward by whales.
Promote this platforms with your content, is way more fun than a worker proposal.

In what timeframe? I think Bitshares needs first some upgrades of UI, core and website, when this happened some extra money on marketing could be spend.

You can sent a memo to seyseich66 by the send button and ask him, if he can return 90% to you.

In this topic I want to discuss different ideas to prevent bad debt.

One idea was to handle margin positions depending on the collateral ratio.

Creating three groups for different ratios:
- 1.75>x>1.5: normal call price
- 1.5>x>1.25: reduced call price
- 1.25>x>1.00: sell to highest call order and reduce liquidity

What do you think ?

Adding smart contract possibilities is a good thing, but we should not allow smart contracts on the core level.

Performance/costs and security will not rise, when implemented?

The Lifetime Membership (LTM) is not very attractive at the moment, compared with other platforms.
Openledger already did a great job by providing a registrar with 0% and gives the full 80% to the referrer.

The problem is that LTM is excluded from a big chunk of fees (Gateways/Market Maker).
To solve this problem three things should be changed:

- Taker fee should increase 10x compared to maker fee, because this can be count as a transaction, except the margin call side

- Gateways should fully implement a 40% cut on all fees to LTM, thanks to OpenLedger
https://github.com/bitshares/bsips/issues/102

- The market maker fee of 0.1% for USD/CNY should be split:
-- 0.05% goes to the trader
-- 0.01% goes to a community-workers budget to finance projects like
https://steemit.com/bitshares/@bangzi/bitshares-community-100-cities-100-stores
-- 0.04% is used to buy back BTS and share drop on LTM

The people with an LTM are the most important people on the BTS platform and are essential for:
- creating content about BTS
- getting new users
- helping new users
- reporting bugs
- integrating new projects
- providing liquidity
- increasing volume

Without a fully integration of the fees to the LTM, there is no substantial demand for an LTM, grow in user base and adoption.

The chart of account upgrades shows the full dilemma:

The feed method should only be changed, when we have enough experience and knowledge in the CNY market.

On 2018-09-13 21:54 CEST there was a margin call at 0.0947 bitUSD/BTS.
