I have come across a few delegates that I like, and they want to help build bitshares.
Can I vote for up to 101 delegates, or do I vote for only 1?

How does the asset creation work? I can create assets on the exchange, and if it's got a long name, its quite cheap? And its being processed over the blockchain? So it's a p2p asset exchange, where there's no censorship as long as you pay the fees to the network?

Can I connect to some bitshares api? When I run bitshares, does it open some port I can send RPC to?

I read somewhere that shares that are not moved for a long time will be destroyed at a rate of 5% pa.
While I think this is stupid and short sighted, I guess this is how the protocol was written. Correct me where I'm wrong.

1 How are the funds extracted from private address? I guess the protocol says that the privkey can only sign up to 95% of the value? So no funds are taken out, but its math in the protocol?

2 How often does a bot have to move the funds to dodge this idea-bug? Once per year?

3 If an address contains a low value, what is the risks that these funds do not get spent and that they will be eroded over time?

So I recently bought a few bitusd. I got them at about 47 bitshares. How is the interest rate paid? Do I have to hold for a year?
