Congrats Toast And to the person who voted him in with 38 million, I'd really appreciate it if you voted for dev.bitsharesblocks instead of delegate.svk31!

Congratulations Toast, you just made crypto-history! First person to be hired by a blockchain!!!
Yup. I haven't voted with most of my stake yet either. Next update will have a simple cold storage / voter key solution.
What does that mean, for the uninitiated?

1) He wants to see if a popular, vetted, and meaningful delegate can get elected by the community. Basically if toast can't the rest of us won't either.

Publish your version, toast! Don't want to find you're on v0.4.12! Feeds ready to go?Up-voted with my meagre stake.
I want to vote for you toast - please dont leave for Google I have found dev0.nikolai in the Delegates page, and I clicked on his Thumbs up button. The thing I dont get is that I go into the Vote page in my account, and it lists 2 random delegates that I have never clicked approve for. Is nikolai supposed to be voted there and then I press the Update Vote button ?
I ask myself "who are these people and what are they representing for my benefit"

There is still $millions in AGS remaining right?This.Relevant. I thought Stan was behind me on this? What happened?AGS funds are MOST effective NOW.Delegate-pay is LEAST effective NOW.AGS funds can be used to increase our market cap.When the market cap is larger, dilution-pay is MOST effective.When the market cap is larger, the inflationary effects of dilution-pay are MUCH LESSHaving I3 devs become delegates effectively does not 'add capital' to the ecosystem, since the capital behind AGS was assumed to be fueling these devs, and this value was assumed to be behind BTS and is thus priced in.As long as the AGS funds are above $0, any delegates that would have been payed by AGS funds are unnecessarily and irresponsibly inflating BTS.Stan, our resident rocket scientist: what happened to my rocket analogy that you loved so much?

No. 3I will go away and they'll all get paid by the blockchain.
AGS was also no strings. They could go buy sports cars with the remaining funds

Some devs got lump sums of BTS but that is our golden goose and we don't want to spend it all to survive the next few months.So you have loads of BTS given to you from AGS funds, and you want more from shareholders so you don't have to spend it, and rake in maximum spoils later?(Please don't misinterpret my tone- I just think these questions need answers)Yes, like an early-stage startup employee. You don't have to approve it, looks like BM has not voted with the remaining AGS funds so this is totally up to normal stakeholders.

Wouldn't you rather have highly incentivized devs?
The AGS funds will all be spent ... salary for us is not a part of it.

I wasn't running it in a debugger so not sure if I can provide anything useful as to the cause.Sent from my SM-G900T using TapatalkThat happened to me too, there's a fix in master for it already so I ended up using that. Without it I was unable to restart the client.

You've got my vote. On a slightly different note... What are the new rules surrounding delegate registration? I heard someone mention it costs 60,000 BTS now.
Toast you have been one of the most important pieces of the development team for quite awhile and so you should be a 100% delegate in my opinion. However, Dan and others have asked other delegates wanting higher than 3% their specific action plans and development objectives. So with that said, can you clue us in on yours?
What are the current plans on enabling voting with cold storage balances?
