problem is the costs, I really don't see the community willing to spend 200k on that, given the dilution hate.
2/3 or more would have to be crowdfunded imo.
I will gladly hold a donation drive for such a thing.
This is how I see it going: We have a thread on bitcointalk asking (for donations in btc) and a thread on bitsharestalk (accepting btc, bts and maybe bitUSD/bitCNY). Make the bitcoin in our ecosystem a fee backed asset (with a floating fee that is set to always undercut the competition?).
Then give a cut of those fees to those accounts that donated...kind of like with onceuponatime and stealth.
We could all reach out to the blockstream devs too and give them the bts donated for mike hearn for a hangout to celebrate bitcoins first sidechain. We could promote Beyond Bitcoin and bitshares at the same time...and it would be a huge press release once the entire bitcoin infrastructure starts saying "zomg we need to use the btc service they are running!"
Not to mention the beyond bitcoin logo is meant specifically to make bitshares look like armor around a bitcoin. Wraps up quite nicely in a little package if you ask me.
