Been reading.. just wanted to share a few thoughts on this since Bunkerchain Labs created the profit sharing code that is mostly being talked about here.

Learn to walk before you run. What we have available as a profit sharing code mechanism will provide value to end users who use UIAs and will also enable profit sharing of smartcoins deriving benefits to holders of said currencies based on volumes alone.

I agree the refer program is a mess, which is why we have completely redone it in Peerplays. Until that can be settled I would not even mention it in Bitshares.. let those who have it continue to use it, but remove all mention of it for now.

Stay away from the not because it sounds a certain way, but once you start promising percent points on things in a network that is based on set fees and not percent points, you will just be setting up the network for failure.

Stop calling it deflationary.. call it profitability.

It's great to dream of all the ways things can be changed.. but all of this comes to a head when you find out how much it will all cost to develop and deploy... not to mention the computational costs that have to be considered. Otherwise you end up with this:


Graphene (I didn't say Bitshares) has a lot in its toolkit... if we are going to offer a Bitshares DEX, then strip it down and make it the best damn DEX anyone has ever seen:


So keep it simply... walk with the lowest hanging fruit of what is available for Bitshares for now:

• Implement our profit sharing code thanks to Peerplays development
• Implementing Chainbase (thanks to steem) so that we can have real trading tools in the GUI with historical charts and graphs. This will attract a lot of high end traders who want to be able to do analysis but cannot due to lack of metric tools in our GUI
• Continue to improve the GUI and API calls so that more applications can be created to utilize Bitshares DEX

All of these things are within reach in a far shorter period of time than the multitudes of concepts that have been discussed that will require far more extensive specing out and testing beyond just the casual forum discussion. Everything I have listed above has been completely iterated, well planned, and thought through. Bitshares community just needs to make the decision to use them.

All of these things can be tied into a marketing campaign as well as things are introduced. The best way to make news is to have news worthy updates.

Whatever else you want to imagine Bitshares to be, give it another name, and give it another project to build from. Bitshares needs to continue to make the steps its been making to leave behind operating like "The Homer".

Bitshares should be exchanging all world commodities, currencies, crypto assets, and stocks completely decentralized by 2019.

If the worker proposal was accepted and properly/securely implemented:[/b][/u][/size]

Day 1: Bot has 5,900bts in capital (worth $33bitUSD). Bot pays $14 in fees to make the trades. The bot "fakes" $165k worth of volume on this day ($33*5,000)

Day 2: Bot has (5,900+5,900bts) worth $66bitUSD. Bot pays $14 in feeshttps://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=post;msg=303984;topic=16894.3315 to make the trades.
The bot "fakes" $330k worth of volume on this day.

...Day 31: After 1 month the bot would have (5,900*31) 182kbts ($1000) accumulated in capital. The bot would spend 2,500bts (~$14) in fees on this day. The bot "fakes" $5,000,000 volume per day after 1 month of starting.

FIVE MILLION DOLLARS OF VOLUME PER DAY

Dash is a house of cards...

anyways, most of the scam left already.

OL is def not a scam, as well as the 7+ underlying projects.

from a graphene point of view...

steem and peerplays are fine, e-dinar is a ponzi.


I'd say bitshares has a better legit/scam ratio than Ethereum ICOs.

that sounds like it would make a great comparison chart post on steem.. just say'en

currently price
polo: 294 sat/BTS   1196 USDT/BTC
btc38: 0.0248 CNY/BTS
look at the feed price, from 0.0228 to 0.0263
I suggest you fire these witness unless they give the reason and tell us how they will  fix it:
delegate.clayop, datasecuritynode, fox, elmato, witness.still

It seems operating with more diverse sources for CNY pricing (ie. more decentralized) doesn't seem to be acceptable if it doesn't meet the approval of what a few people 'think' the price should be.

Original sources:

                    "sources" : ["btc38",
                                 "yunbi",
                                 "huobi", - temp disabled
                                 "btcchina", - temp disabled
                                 "okcoin", - temp disabled
                                 "poloniex",
                                 "bittrex",
                                 "btcavg",
                                 "yahoo",
                                 ]

In order to get a similar higher price to others I had to disable 3 more of these sources.. only leaving 3 to determine the CNY price.

Shame on me for taking a wider price feed average.. indeed.

The real tragedy in all this has actually been that the call was not about getting more sources.. it was about getting a higher price that someone wanted... shame.. indeed.
