I sold some BTS for IOTA because IOTA has free transactions for micropayments, but now BM propose "zero" transaction fees for low balances with scaling algos that still compensate lifetime members. I would sell IOTA and get back into BTS if this happens but committee must still vote right?

For bringing us such a valuable initiative i would like to thank you.  though it isnt much right now i suspect there will likely be times someday in the future when these will have value.
#sharebits "-banano-" 20 COPPERTICKET

Consider it thanks forngoing above and beyond.

how will this be given? as in can you give aome numbers atm or no?

#sharebits "noisy" 10 COPPERTICKET

ok... I believe we all see, that majority of community likes this idea. What should be done next to turn this idea into reality? Worker proposal?

I am very much for doing this...but I think we need to TEST it by making it this way for only a small period of time (perhaps 3 months?)  to try it and see its effects.  We can offer it for a limited window of time and couple it with something like a "buy one get two free" for accounts during this period to help offset the lower fees.  If they both work together to bring in more income, while also incentivizing the use of lifetime membership accounts...the ltm's might actually far outweigh the value lost from trading fees. 

This also gives people who buy ltm's a good reason to consider sharing it (or selling it) to someone else.  This opens up the market for people to want to start grabbing named wallets (at a significant cost) and selling them or finding other profitable ways to get them into the hands of others.

If I don't see any movement on this in the coming month I promise you we will head this up and be the lead to ensure that we can be available on the Azure BaaS.

At present we are tied up with other things atm and this would require a great deal of attention money and time to execute.

I think it will be worth the effort though.

@BunkerChain Labs Will you really look into this?

He is busy with committee stuff these days I am sure--which is pretty much a full time job in and of itself from what I see in their discussions. 

As far as Azure goes, I have some leads I am working on with Ronny.  Nothing else to say yet though so I am giving what I have at this juncture with no promises other than "I am actively looking into our options and opportunities". 

@SolomonSollarsNSense has given me 10,000 SolCERTS to distribute to hangout attendees and those who complete quests. 

However, when I get to the point when im going to send them to my Sharebits.IO account...it tries to charge me approx 29,000 SolCERTs.  There has been no market fee set...

working on doing my own sharedrop.

  looking forward for announce, will be excellent if sharedrop will be at same date 

Yeh and if it is, what tokens will it be dropped on?

I'm plain on using the sharebits to drop on FISTBUMP, because they are popular and  it's the price range I was looking for. The 14th sounds like a good day to try it. No guarantees thou. This will be my first attempt at something new.

if you want help i think i can.

You already gave me help too get to this point, so I know I can count on you.

We are trying our best.  I'm just glad to be able to use a tool to help bring us closer together and give us some real bait to put on our hooks so to speak. 

If it makes us lots of money in the long run too---then, um, cool!  I can honestly say that I feel comfortable that we took in minimal outside funding and received something quite empowering.  This is the stuff i live for...lol.  Been waiting so long for a tool like this that shows the power of bitshares (and alllll its tokens). 

Metatrader4 is the defacto forex consumer trading platform http://www.metatrader4.com/en

The key feature of MT4 is the ability to buy, create and run your own trading bots - this is a massive source of liquidity and trading volume and there are vast libraries of such bots available on the metatrader marketplace https://www.mql5.com/en/market/mt4

There has been some discussion about how to integrate metatrader 4 with bitshares, and I have good experience of both platforms so I know what it will take. I've created this thread to open the discussion about how this might be achieved.

There are a few things to know about MT4 first:

1. This is a margin trading platform. You go long/short with your base currency as collateral in your desired market, and you always close your order with one of the opposite type, so if you buy, you must sell to close your position. This means you always end up back in the same currency you started out with.
2. There is typically leverage available, the amount varies depending on your broker
3. I *think* the available markets are hard coded into the platform, so you have to offer markets like EUR/USD, JPY/USD etc
4. The is no orderbook available to traders (this is a big negative point)
5. The spreads are typically denoted in Pips, which are fractions of a dollar (this is a bit of a sticking point for integration)
6. The metatrader 4 client side app communicates with the broker via a custom protocol - there would need to be a bitshares bridge server
7. Placing and cancelling limit orders is free
8. There are order types bitshares doesn't support right now, buy stop and sell stop which are resting orders which do not activate until the price reaches them (opposite way to regular limit orders)
9. Metatrader the corporation would almost certainly be opposed to this integration, so this would need to be done with no central point of failure in terms of legal ramifications

I propose something radical to address point 7, which is a huge point for existing MT4 users who would never accept having to pay for that: require a Proof of Work for placement and cancel orders, but have 0 transaction fee. That would prevent spam while costing no currency.

Point 8 could easily be addressed by adding these order types into the DEX.

In summary, I think it would be possible to integrate IF bitshares supported margin trading in a compatible way.

Cheers, Paul.

you wonderful man....
