Title: BTS X is Live
Post by: bytemaster on July 19, 2014, 06:11:24 pm
This is a BitShares Breaking Event Alert.

DAC Sun Limited (DSL), an independent Hong Kong based DAC developer you can find at DACSunlimited.com, is in the process of releasing the first official BitShares X (BTSX) chain.

Their official chain is now up and running and being tested by experienced volunteers from the forum.  This is expected to be the real chain running from the official genesis block and any trading will be real and permanent. Because this is a brand new chain, everyone should use caution until it is clear that everything is working properly. 

This is a pre-launch to enable final testing by experienced users before calling attention to it by the general public. It may take DSL a few more days to get all the instructions published, web pages polished, and make sure that everything is fully functional before making their official high-profile public launch. 

Note that the BitShares Toolkit core developers will continue to add new features to the toolkit and work with the community evaluate them in parallel on our test network in an ongoing series of forum-based Dry Runs of a future release.  However the BitShares X release from DACSunlimited.com is not a test.  It is the real thing, featuring many of the final features except for BitUSD and its related functionality.   These will appear in an upgrade expected later this summer.

DAC Sun Limited is working with several exchanges that we expect to begin trading BTSX soon.  But if you want to get an early look at the real chain running from the official genesis block, and experiment with some peer to peer trading you can download the exciting new BTSX wallet here:

https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.2.0

Pay attention to the following sites for more breaking information:



Our Chinese partners (dacsunlimited.com) have launched the real BTS X network and you can now download the real, legitimate, BTS X wallet from their website (or Github).

Right now the wallet is available prior to the public release that DAC Sun is planning.   The binaries downloaded from https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.2.0 are safe to trust with your private keys as they are built from the code hosted on the same github repo.

This wallet is based upon our latest BitShares XT code base and has BitAsset support disabled.   Their plan is to upgrade the chain as we release new stable updates to the XT dry run tests.

Exchanges are working to integrate this chain.

This is the real deal? No more testnets ? Shouldn't we have been warned in advance?

I downloaded the tar.gz from the dacsunlimited website, extracted it, and looked at the build instructions for ubuntu.

it seems to be telling me to build the toolkit, i thought this was a different thing from BitShares X?

It is a clone of the toolkit and rushed to market so they haven't updated the instructions and rebranded those instructions yet.

This is your final advanced warning of many over the past weeks. 

A newsletter is going out within an hour of their decision that they were ready to launch.

Excellent.  This is very exciting.

UPDATE: This error was happening because I was trying to create an account with my founder name.  I used some other names and it worked.


riverhead: XTS8WDwVzZy1BEPt5X18xwuLWP5vAAVYrEjxFog1VdF1FPmNa8ysg


Note that this was create with the CLI interface on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.  The QT client had some compile issues.


[ 92%] Built target BitSharesXT_automoc
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `programs/qt_wallet/images/background.jpg', needed by `programs/qt_wallet/qrc_bitshares.cpp'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [programs/qt_wallet/CMakeFiles/BitSharesXT.dir/all] Error 2

Is there going to be a thread for reporting issues?  For example when creating an account:

tried compiling on Ubuntu 12.04

first it wanted an updated cmake so I downloaded the binaries from the website.

then it wanted an updated GCC, and I'm still working on trying to make that work.

tried running it under wine, and it seemed to install okay, ran the program and it took me to the screen where you create a password for your wallet. but it cut out into the main screen before I was done typing. this concerned me so I un-installed everything.

so... Ubuntu 12.04 users: don't bother unless you feel up to upgrading GCC (which is harder than it looks)- the package gcc-4.8-base did nothing.

anyone know if there's a GCC repository anywhere?

You are correct: What I built was the CLI version of the BitsharesXT wallet.  The QT is still not compiling for me.

This isn't a test... it is only a test in the sense that bitcoin was still experimental for a long time.    This is a version 0.2.0 of a product that may have bugs.   

DAC Sun Limited is working on press releases and other promotional items to get this out to the masses.   I have no idea how fast they will be able to move, but I would guess it will be next week.

Go to advanced tab under your account, then send me the key + name you would like and I can register it for you.    A faucet with free registration will be deployed in the next week or two.

I'm compiling now. Bout to ask stupid questions to make sure I'm understanding:

Once it's done I can do this and ask you to register a name for me?

Then I would have to be sure to keep hold of that wallet, right?

I'm running on ubuntu 14.04

Via putty, I had everything running fine, and then my local pc blue screened. 

In logging back into my server via putty, how do i rejoin that process I had running before crash?

I didn't use screen to launch it the first time so thats not available.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Can we download out BTS X wallet from the original github page at https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit

instead of DAC's fork ? I would just feel more at ease doing that.

Also, shouldnt there be some tag/branch in the git repo for marking the official BTSX release? Trusting real money to the master branch, which is under constant development, doesnt seem right.

No you cannot, our toolkit is for testing purposes only and has a different configuration.   You can trust DAC Sun.

Also you might find that the linux binaries dont run on 12.04...

I was hoping that qt_wallet would be light-weight without mountains of dependencies.

Try doing this first:

make web_wallet

which requires node.js to be installed. After that I think you will be able to get the qt_wallet by configuring cmake with:

Post by: Tuck Fheman on July 20, 2014, 04:01:45 am
I've seen several post about transfers gone wrong, so I thought I'd mention the problems I experienced.

I tried registering several account names earlier that remained pending for hours (still show pending on the few I can see, it only list 20). Then I was able to register the same account names again (paying .1 BTCX again) and they registered the 2nd time. I'm not sure (but it appears so) that the .1 BTCX on the first tries were taken from the originating account and again on the 2nd try.

Are those init* delegates going to be gradually replaced by actual delegates from around the world?

Right now it's kind of hard to push your delegate up, when EACH (!!!) init* delegate has over 3% of total votes...

And init* delegates create majority of active ones.

BTW: From my perspective it looks like if someone has, say, 3.9% of all shares, and creates 101 delegates all of which he approves, then each and every delegate gets 3.9% Approval. This makes a total of over 390% and effectively blocks others from becoming a delegate.
Shouldn't instead those 3.9% of all votes be divided equally amongst those delegates user approved, so that total # of votes for all approved delegates makes sum of 3.9%?

I got the BTSX installed but had to close it mid blockchain download to restart my computer. Once it was done and I tried to open BTSX again, I keep getting this:

Very cool start. I like the default timeout on the wallet,  "1776" in seconds

Just in the last 4 hours I have seen the cost to register an asset go from 20,000 BTSX to 76,000 BTSX. Is this normal?

Great to see this launch btw.

It is my understanding that the 3.9% stake gets divided over everyone you vote on. So if you have 10% stake, and you voted for 100 delegates then your 10% gets divided over 100, meaning 0.1%/delegate.

Well, that was my understanding too...

But just go and start up windows BTSX client and go to Directory -> Delegates and count down how many active delegates with over 3% of votes are there and sum them up.

Maybe it's just a display bug, I hope so...

the system uses approval voting. your votes are not divided. if you vote for 100 delegates then each delegates gets 10% approval. as the network matures and more people claim their stake delegates will have to maintain approval much higher than the 3.9%

Looks like this premature newborn wont live long.

Why was it officially launched if such errors occur after 24h of running?
And there is no market functionality on GUI, not even a mature GUI interface.

If we waited that long can't we wait a bit more, just to be sure it's a solid and fully functional thing?

Right now all we can get is to drive the price down, scare off people who expected to trade and yet, nothing to trade with.

IMHO: I'm not so sure about releasing this to wide public just yet.

the system uses approval voting. your votes are not divided. if you vote for 100 delegates then each delegates gets 10% approval. as the network matures and more people claim their stake delegates will have to maintain approval much higher than the 3.9%

Alright, sorry for the confusion caused.

so the client is saying that there is severe network problem. and " no connection". is it just my client or every else is having the same issue?

Same here. I'm having to restart the client every 10 minutes (or so) or I end up with "Pending" transactions that never (seem to) confirm.

You can also just edit the config file in your app data dir.   On Mac it is ~/Library/Application Support/BitShares X/config.json to get the same effect.

This is a BitShares Breaking Event Alert.

DAC Sun Limited (DSL), an independent Hong Kong based DAC developer you can find at DACSunlimited.com, is in the process of releasing the first official BitShares X (BTSX) chain.

Their official chain is now up and running and being tested by experienced volunteers from the forum.  This is expected to be the real chain running from the official genesis block and any trading will be real and permanent. Because this is a brand new chain, everyone should use caution until it is clear that everything is working properly. 

This is a pre-launch to enable final testing by experienced users before calling attention to it by the general public. It may take DSL a few more days to get all the instructions published, web pages polished, and make sure that everything is fully functional before making their official high-profile public launch. 

Note that the BitShares Toolkit core developers will continue to add new features to the toolkit and work with the community evaluate them in parallel on our test network in an ongoing series of forum-based Dry Runs of a future release.  However the BitShares X release from DACSunlimited.com is not a test.  It is the real thing, featuring many of the final features except for BitUSD and its related functionality.   These will appear in an upgrade expected later this summer.

DAC Sun Limited is working with several exchanges that we expect to begin trading BTSX soon.  But if you want to get an early look at the real chain running from the official genesis block, and experiment with some peer to peer trading you can download the exciting new BTSX wallet here:

https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.2.0

Pay attention to the following sites for more breaking information:
  • dacsunlimited.com
  • bitshares-x.info
  • bitshares.org
  • bitsharestalk.org



Our Chinese partners (dacsunlimited.com) have launched the real BTS X network and you can now download the real, legitimate, BTS X wallet from their website (or Github).

Right now the wallet is available prior to the public release that DAC Sun is planning.   The binaries downloaded from https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/releases/tag/0.2.0 are safe to trust with your private keys as they are built from the code hosted on the same github repo.

This wallet is based upon our latest BitShares XT code base and has BitAsset support disabled.   Their plan is to upgrade the chain as we release new stable updates to the XT dry run tests.

Exchanges are working to integrate this chain.

 +5% sry for late response ... but .... yeahhhhh wowwow great  ... just said ... :)

Maybe it's already been asked (but the forum search didn't turn anything up), but why is it that when doing

Code: [Select]
blockchain_list_assets
and again after 10 secondes.
the supply of BTSX is going up with about 0.6BTSX/block?

I thought I would see it slowly declining because of the transaction fee burning.

@delulo 4 GB swap should probably be sufficient, if not, trial and error...

Yes, there is a bug in the supply calculation where the total accumulated transaction fees are not counted in the supply when they should be.   When a delegate gets paid out the total accumulated fees goes down and the supply goes up.

"sudo fallocate -l 4G /swapfile"

you also need to actually make it a swapfile:

mkswap /swapfile
swapon /swapfile

probably should secure it too

Is this one be proto DAC and the snapshot will become useless after this? I ask because otherwise the PTS trapped at Bter and BTC38 on snapshot day will need to be used again.

The windows installer from http://bitshares-x.info/ is the correct one? Can I import my private keys in there?

The link is correct.

Apart from BTS X your PTS on bter and bt38 (of these exchanges offer the same service again) can be used for other snapshots.... Is that what you meant?

Sorry guys if it's already answered somewhere..

I am running on work.. so less time to this.. but I wanted to ask:

- Where/how can we link the PTS -> BTSX conversion coins (besides Keyhotee) to the accounts from the BTSX toolkit.
- Did the coins suffer the same "multiplication" we see on Bter? When?
- Any quick/summary of BTSX so I can share this AWESOME STUFF!?

TO the best/complete answer I will donate 1 BTSX! =) and report back the experience.

System: Ubuntu 14.04


Go to the programs/client/ directory and you should see a binary called bitshares_client or something similar. To make your life easier once you find it type sudo mv bitshares_client /usr/bin/. so it'll be in the path.

Then:
screen bitshares_client to run it.  (sudo apt-get install screen if you don't have it)

Type cntrl-a cntrl-d to put the screen in the background (still running) and screen -r to "resume" your screen session.

Once you're at the Wallet prompt you'll need to create a wallet with wallet_create <name> and then create an account within it.

Once you're all setup type wallet_export to save it out to a .json.  For safety I also quit the client and then went to ~/.BitSharesx/wallets and tar'd the named wallet directory and put it somewhere safe (different machine(s) ).

For your first question there are two ways:
1) In the Bitshares-x client go to Accounts->Some_Account->Advanced->Import Wallet->Drag your PTS wallet.dat file onto the field or enter the path.  This will import all your private keys and you'll see a bunch of deposits to that account from "GENESIS". NOTE: The passphrase it asks for is the one from your PTS Wallet so that it can decrypt the .dat.


2) Open PTS wallet, unlock wallet.  In the console type dumpprivkey <public_address> and then do as in 1 but on the import key tab.

Q1: Yes. For PTS DACs only.

So.. I might have applied the wrong words.. I am not a native English person. I am valuing your dedication though.

Clarification above. I hope. Otherwise.. please comment.


For your first question there are two ways:
1) In the Bitshares-x client go to Accounts->Some_Account->Advanced->Import Wallet->Drag your PTS wallet.dat file onto the field or enter the path.  This will import all your private keys and you'll see a bunch of deposits to that account from "GENESIS". NOTE: The passphrase it asks for is the one from your PTS Wallet so that it can decrypt the .dat.


2) Open PTS wallet, unlock wallet.  In the console type dumpprivkey <public_address> and then do as in 1 but on the import key tab.

SOunds more.. like I was guessing.. but thanks.

Does that convert the snapshot amount of PTS.. even if you don't have that amount of PTS since after the DAC snapshot?

- what do you mean by " link the coins"? -> If you were a holder of PTS.. by the time the DACs appeared.. you were promised some BTS. Then BTSX goes on.. then the app shows up.. how do i use my DAC converted coins. How do I link the keyhotee private key or key founder to BTSX account?

Yes.  It's not transferring any money.  It's just proving you own what is already in the snapshot.  You are "claiming" existing allocations with your private keys.

I made (compiled it). Thanks!
Now how do I start the client (webwallet? desktop wallet?)?
System: Ubuntu 14.04


Go to the programs/client/ directory and you should see a binary called bitshares_client or something similar. To make your life easier once you find it type sudo mv bitshares_client /usr/bin/. so it'll be in the path.

Then:
screen bitshares_client to run it.  (sudo apt-get install screen if you don't have it)

Type cntrl-a cntrl-d to put the screen in the background (still running) and screen -r to "resume" your screen session.

Once you're at the Wallet prompt you'll need to create a wallet with wallet_create <name> and then create an account within it.

Once you're all setup type wallet_export to save it out to a .json.  For safety I also quit the client and then went to ~/.BitSharesx/wallets and tar'd the named wallet directory and put it somewhere safe (different machine(s) ).
That sounds like a purely command line version. Is there a gui in linux already?

Is this one be proto DAC and the snapshot will become useless after this? I ask because otherwise the PTS trapped at Bter and BTC38 on snapshot day will need to be used again.

The windows installer from http://bitshares-x.info/ is the correct one? Can I import my private keys in there?
The link is correct.

Apart from BTS X your PTS on bter and bt38 (of these exchanges offer the same service again) can be used for other snapshots.... Is that what you meant?

No, I meant if the Feb 28 snapshot is ever going to be used again or not. If yes, then we have to bug those exchanges to honour again for all the PTS stuck on Feb 28.

I tried to import via the private key, (.csv) but nothing happens in the btsx client. no error no nothing. I thought this would be the easiest thing to do since I used multiple  addresses to donate from in electrum and I thought this would get them all in one fell swoop.

The votes aren't additive by transaction.  They are allocated by BTSX.  So you can loop the transaction but your just reallocating the same votes and paying a trans fee each time.

Do you remember the command you exported with ?  If you did not specify a path, then the wallet should have been exported to the current working directory.  I'm not entirely sure, but that would be either the directory where you started the CLI executable, or the directory containing the binary.

It seems that the delegate registration is ~20 BTSX. Initially it was said that delegates should earn back the registration fee within 2 weeks(i've argued against that :x), but it seems that this was reduced to a trivial fee.

For me, the biggest obstacle to even registering a delegate is potential legal problems. Not to even mention the competition and hard work convincing the shareholders to vote for you.

I didn't find it, because I realized it was never created! The program files folder is administrative protected, so when doing through CLI it just doesn't (I think).

I have a question out of curiosity. I understand Bithsares X itself is a DAC, but is there a possible way of potentially making the whole process of buying crypto/BitAssets decentralized? I mean to deposit cash directly into it? I know this might be too farfetched but i was just wondering. since I still have to rely on an exchange to deposit cash, buy btc and then transfer them over to my wallet. Sorry if it sounded dumb but i was just wondering.. It really would be awesome, without having to rely on an exchange (since i guess I would always have to rely on a bank to transfer money here). It would be one less intermediary

there's no way to decentralize fiat > crypto

once you have crypto though, everything else can be decentralized. you can have a decentralized crypto exchange (and i'm pretty sure that's actually the plan for bitshares x), there's just no way to get fiat into it.

I think the value of BTC will be that it will always remain the most established gateway for fiat <-> BTC. All the other interesting stuff will be in things like BTC <-> BTSX, BTC <-> Ethereum. Until any of these projects become important enough that the fiat gateways will start using them as well.

once you have crypto though, everything else can be decentralized. you can have a decentralized crypto exchange (and i'm pretty sure that's actually the plan for bitshares x), there's just no way to get fiat into it.

I think the value of BTC will be that it will always remain the most established gateway for fiat <-> BTC. All the other interesting stuff will be in things like BTC <-> BTSX, BTC <-> Ethereum. Until any of these projects become important enough that the fiat gateways will start using them as well.

agreed partially. I think even after gateways are established for other, better cryptos, BTC won't be going away anytime soon people have already invested millions into it. they now have reason to promote it over superior technologies.

Any way to get in as a delegate in place of one of those ints? I'm still stuck far out at 250+ rank.

Start a thread advertising yourself (campaigning) as a delegate.  Explain why you're a good one (network stability, trustworthiness, length of time with the community, etc.) as well as what your payment will be: customer cost vs shareholder return.  If people like what they read they'll vote for you.

This is a BitShares Breaking Event Alert.


Pay attention to the following sites for more breaking information:
  • dacsunlimited.com
  • bitshares-x.info
  • bitshares.org
  • bitsharestalk.org


Can someone confirm where I'll find the most stable wallets and reliable information regarding Bitshares X.  the bitshares-x.info site, looks very professional and encourages me to continue investing (a happy feeling). But, the wallet version is on 0.2.2 (stable version maybe?)

This dacsunlimited.com site has a later wallet version 0.2.3 and has received the blessing of BM along with a higher slot in the pecking order.
but, the site is full of broken links and frankly looks like a hobby coin site, not a product I wish to invest in.

Anyone up for a little "Magic The Gathering Online eXchange".

If dacsunlimited.com  were my first impression of the Bitshares ecosystem, I'd have gone runny months ago. IMHO a big "coming soon" banner with a link to bitshares-x.info would better serve us.

How safe is it to invest real money into BTSX? I've gone through this topic but haven't found a direct answer to this.
I mean what are the chances that a big bug is found and the whole blockchain needs to be reset and my current BTSX balance is gone for ever?
And in case the blockchain needs to be reset will the BTSX balances be reinstated in the new blockchain via some kind of snapshot of the previous blockchain?

Yes.

In general this is a difficult question. If most people of those who could ever buy this asset would know an answer to it it wouldn't be a good investment anymore ;)
Most people here think that it is a good investment though.

I was asking purely from the technical perspective and got the answer I needed. Thanks a lot.
Lots of respect for what you guys are doing.

Currently you need to compile it youself. Whats your distribution?

I could host a compiled Linux GUI somewhere. I realize that requires a certain amount of trust though. Anyone interested?

I just fiddled together the compile instructions to the wiki
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BuildInstructionsBitSharesX

turns out: compiling is WAY easier under linux than under windows :)

Nice! I found I had to use sudo for the npm install though.  Perhaps that's just with my setup.

npm install actually installs dependencies in a local node_modules folder if run by user .. not sure about the difference if run by root ...

I see. It's possible I ran some earlier step with sudo when I didn't need to which would screw up the permissions. I seem to be the only one that's had to use sudo for npm install so it's likely unique to my degrading Ubuntu install lol.

Hello I am new and I want to min bitshare x. Is that possible? How to mine it?

I think someone is setting up a "virtual" miner site that lets you mine Scrypt coins that get automatically sold for BTSX. But you cant directly "mine" Bitshares. It was issued in one go by an IPO, and its supply decreases. This means it is deflationary, not inflationary - which is good.

Edit: welcome to Bitshares :) Enjoy the ride!

Thank you. Can you tell me which site? and also these people that have many bitshares from where have achieved them if they can not mine it?

BTSX was initially given out to everyone who donated before February towards the development of the software. From now on you can just buy them from someone else.

I bought some more BTSX on Bter.com - trade in all your inflationary Bitcoin there.

Here is the mining pool, not sure when they will actually be ready:

No.

How to mine it?

- Mine LTC
- Sell LTC for BTC on your favorite exchange
- Buy BTSX with BTC on bter.com
- This works with any coin you can mine (not just LTC)
- There may be websites that automate the exchange operations, so it looks like you "mine BTSX with scrypt miner".  But really behind the scenes the website is having you mine something else and using what you actually mined to buy BTSX for you.
