Do you think that you will be contacting bullion dealers who already accept bitcoin (through BitPay)? ie, amagimetals.com and silvergoldbull.com both of whom are already doing that and from whom I have bought silver coins for bitcoin.
If you consider it to be a high priority that they be contacted about accepting bitSILVER, bitGOLD and bitUSD, then you get my immediate vote.
I will say congratulations right now...

I forwarded the Lamassu stuff over to you.
This is exciting stuff because their machines are AML/KYC complaint. Once the code is written, each machine would act as a fiat on and off ramp.

How exactly are they AML/KYC compliant?
The machine owners pay a third party company a monthly fee. http://cointelegraph.com/news/112785/lamassu-integrates-identityminds-aml-and-compliance-platform-in-its-bitcoin-atms (http://cointelegraph.com/news/112785/lamassu-integrates-identityminds-aml-and-compliance-platform-in-its-bitcoin-atms)

VOTE for verbaltech!
Yes you.
:)
Just a thought, I think that since your delegate is not named 'Gentso', this has a bigger effect on vote turnout than you might think. I for one, saw 'verbaltech' in the delegates list and didn't have any idea who it was.Absolutely!! All delegates should be recognizable with their forum/real world or whatever identity they are backing the delegate up with by just looking at the delegate name.

gentso-biz-dev.poweredby-thom ?
haha true. what bitshares needs is a name plus a little subtitle discription for delegates!!gentso-biz-dev.poweredby-thom ?

When you say it like that delegate.verbaltech just rolls off the tongue.

I think this is a great idea.
Their has been a point of suggesting the delegates work in a pairs or as members of a team. It would be nice if, at the very least we could link our accounts to a delegate in order to show team members. Even better would be if their was a little about me button where a delegate could do a quick 2 line write up on what they hope to do for the community.

Thank you for your support.
The timing couldn't have been better either :)
Thank you for bringing this up Thom, as it would have been very easy to just let slide. Its probably more difficult for you to bring this up since you are so close to the project. Good to see you have integrity.
That said, we should down vote this delegate right away. @bytemaster, please withdraw your votes from this delegate. I believe we have too many non performing 100% delegates and we need to move more 3% or less delegates in.

Thanks Lil_jay. I think a call for a down vote is appropriate. Although I haven't' heard from gentso, and thus don't know why he has taken this course of action, I do believe this was his choice.

I disagree with you on this point.. every 100% delegate I am involved with is working every single day on something to do with advancing bitshares. There are also others who have not been voted in that are doing a lot... voters seems to have chosen not to support them yet.

c-lains would be a good choice
Thank you Jonathon, that's very generous of you to offer.
I have all the info required to restore the delegate operation on a new VPS, but the question is, is that the correct course of action?
verbaltech was a 100% business development delegate. I was getting a 15% fee to support the technical work and gentso got 85%
I would certainly be willing to send the 85% somewhere else, if that is what the community wants to do. Although it wasn't much due to the low marketcap, I was very grateful to have that source of funds coming in. My computer services business is my only other source of income, and in a town of only 300 people it doesn't always bring in enough to pay the bills.
If the community is willing to support my role as a witness and have me redirect the delegate fees elsewhere I have the required account keys.
Gentso was planning on sending me a USB stick that I was going to put all of the delegate info on and send it back to him. He never followed through however. So I am the person with all the necessary info to restore delegate operation.
I am not clear DSN what exactly you were disagreeing with about lib_jay's post. As far as I'm concerned delegate.verbaltech is done, unless the community wants to keep me in place as a witness and have me direct the funds elsewhere. It should be up to the community.

Thom, I would be in favor of verbaltech redirecting 38% of the fund to 38MartinPtswarrior. It would be a trial run for his delegate, and if we don't like how he handles the funds then we can redirect elsewhere. Verbaltech could potentially be an "incubator" for delegates to show what they are made of prior to getting voted in.

+5% me to
I'm beginning to see a pattern of community support for 38ptswarior. I'll be happy to redirect funds to where ever the community wants me to.Hi, sorry that I lost my temper at the hangout and that I hijacked your talk CryptoPrometheus.
I was going to donate gentso's portion to fuzzy to distribute to his team as he sees fit. Perhaps a split is preferred: 38% to be given to 38ptswarior and the 47% given to the Beyond Bitcoin team?
BTW, how do you start a poll in SMF anyway? Do you need to have mod privileges?
The concept of a "delegate incubator" is interesting. What type of conditions / metrics / deliverables should we establish for the funds given to 38ptswarior? Our discussion yesterday leads me to believe this is an important consideration.
Fuzzy's team has a track record and it's much easier to see the results of their work. It is also a team of people, who are not being adequately compensated for what they produce.
Until delegate.verbaltech is voted out, I will be in charge of the funds it produces. I feel a sense of responsibility in disbursing these funds, and as such believe it's important to establish the criteria for measuring how well 38ptswarior is using the funds given to him by the community.
Also, if delegate.verbaltech is not voted out, it will be me managing the delegate node, nobody else. In that regard it's not a true test of how well a delegate "candidate" manages technical duties, only how well he manages the funds. This goes to illustrate the dualistic nature of our current DPoS 1.0 delegate system and why delegate teams are a good approach.
No matter what is discussed in this forum it can only be an approximation of shareholder consensus. The only formal consensus is shareholder voting. I will redirect gentso's 85% to where ever the community desires until delegate.verbaltech is voted out. How we arrive at that is what conditions are placed on that need to be discussed. I am open to all suggestions, especially regarding conditions / metrics.
BTW, delegate.verbaltech is online once again producing blocks and supplying 24 feeds, so I am still earning my pay, which I am very grateful for.
In any case it should be made widely public (like announcing a new delegate) who/what the funds are directed at.
I like the idea .. +5% ..
keeping you both on my slate ..
Should we no longer vote or the delegate btstools.digitalgaia and put all our support into the verbaltech delegate to continue supporting you?
Should we no longer vote or the delegate btstools.digitalgaia and put all our support into the verbaltech delegate to continue supporting you?
At this point, I don't recommend to vote for btstools.digitalgaia anymore, as the pay from verbaltech is more than enough to pay for the servers. That shouldn't change anything, though, because I didn't expect my delegate to be voted in before the release of BitShares 2.0 anyway.
In the (unlikely) event it gets voted in, I think I would do a poll like Thom did to ask the community for their opinions, and burn it or redirect it to some other deserving delegates (I can think of a few that are still not voted in but have contributed a lot).
In summary:
- Thom and I work as a team and are funded by the pay of delegate.verbaltech
- btstools.digitalgaia is deprecated and people wanting to support me should support delegate.verbaltech.
- when BTS2.0 is released, we will come up with a unified worker proposal
0.2.10 (2015-09-03)
-------------------
* added support for managing backbone nodes
* new view in menu "network > backbone status" that shows the configured backbone nodes and
whether we are connected to them or not
* added monitoring plugins:
- 'voted_in': monitors when a delegate is voted in or out
- 'wallet_state': monitors when a wallet is opened/closed and locked/unlocked
- 'fork': tries to detect when the client is being on a fork and/or out-of-sync
* simplified config yaml file: there are now wildcards monitoring plugins you can use for most
common tasks:
- for delegate:
+ 'delegate': used to monitor an active delegate. This will activate the 'missed',
'network_connections', 'voted_in', 'wallet_state', 'fork', 'version' and 'feeds'
monitoring plugins
+ 'watcher_delegate': used to monitor a watcher delegate, i.e. without publishing
any info (version, feeds) to the blockchain. This will activate the 'missed',
'network_connections', 'voted_in', 'wallet_state' and 'fork' monitoring plugins
- for seed nodes and delegate nodes, you don't have to specify required command-line args or
monitoring plugins any longer, it is added automatically in function of the node type
* added "bts deploy" command to copy built binary to specified ssh host(s)
* added monitoring plugins:
- 'voted_in': monitors when a delegate is voted in or out
- 'wallet_state': monitors when a wallet is opened/closed and locked/unlocked
- 'fork': tries to detect when the client is being on a fork and/or out-of-sync
Just to be clear about something. If we update to the new version, then the delegate using bts_tools automatically will start running through the backbone system that you have running now?
Do you believe with he two delegates providing 130% total now with the market cap that the funds will be enough to provide enough of a distribution network.. or will there be some kind of option for some delegates to become a part of this backbone where it makes geographic sense?
Should we no longer vote or the delegate btstools.digitalgaia and put all our support into the verbaltech delegate to continue supporting you?
At this point, I don't recommend to vote for btstools.digitalgaia anymore, as the pay from verbaltech is more than enough to pay for the servers. That shouldn't change anything, though, because I didn't expect my delegate to be voted in before the release of BitShares 2.0 anyway.
