« on: October 27, 2015, 06:32:50 pm »

I've reported this to bytemaster - https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/issues/390

I've funded a new account dediced to poolfunding with my own funds for the time being and have funded the poolfund as described in the proposal

4000 BTS USD
4000 BTS CNY
2000 BTS EUR
2000 BTS GOLD
2000 BTS SILVER

As seen here: https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/account/mindphlux.poolfund/overview

I will do the same tomororw, hopefully with the worker's fees.

Thank you for voting for me!

This proposal has been voted in and I see the vested balance id is getting money. I will commence filling the asset pools this evening.

However, we lost about 5 days so it will be less money for this proposal. There will be funding for around ~22 days, if I am not mistaken. If things run good, I'll do another proposal.

General Discussion / Re: Account creation fee is 190 BTS - Why?
« on: October 26, 2015, 01:38:13 pm »
BM, the previous fee set by the community was 95BTS so it wouldn't vest for 3 months. It was enough to deter people from name squatting.

195BTS is overkill IMHO, it doubles the costs for the registrar which no good reason except that it has been doubled. This brings no additional advantage.

The only result now is that the registrar has to make a large upfront investment for 3 months. Openledger-reg was empty today, and no users could be registered. One could say it already suffered the consequences for having 80% of the fees vested for 3 months.

What? I'm not going to pay to open an account.
I'll pay a fee to trade when using the system, but never to register an account.  :(

It's not you paying this fee, it's your wallet provider which pays this fee for you. You as a user pay 0.

General Discussion / Account creation fee is 190 BTS - Why?
« on: October 26, 2015, 10:26:30 am »
Hello,

I've noticed that, since the last fee increase, the account creation fee is 190,29 BTS:

https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/block/324997

This is 38BTS after the 80% cashback.

I find this highly unusual that this wasn't mentioned by anyone yet. Having a fee over 100BTS means that it has to vest for 3 months, that means that the wallet provider has to make a large upfront investment so his business can be sustainable. It also means that he'll have a much longer turn even time because the fee has just doubled.

Is this really good and what we want? The community voted to have this fee at 95BTS, it was doubled in the last fee update.

Thank you

Regarding this commit: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2-ui/commit/9c396f1dbda06d032c4b8f25b08ab05ea51a2905

The BTS UI license was changed retroactively without telling anyone to add a clause that prevents anyone from running hosted webwallets, in my interpretion, without a seperate CNX license.

Questions:

1. Why wasn't this discussed and announced on the forums before hand, and have all the individual non-CNX contributors agreed to a license change for their previous commits?
I have published a few pull requests that have gotten merged, and I haven't known about this before today.

2. What are the real consequences of this license change? Can I still run a web wallet with my self written faucet since there's no public faucet available?

3. Why are important changes like this are not discussed/announced before they go into effect? Just like that 4 minute notice-time before the 100% fee increase.

General Discussion / Re: Bitshares 2.0 will be tax free in EU
« on: October 23, 2015, 05:57:40 am »
Your title is totally misleading. It's vat-tax free, not tax free. You still have to pay income tax on profits. In the past, when you withdrew BTC from an exchange to a (commercial) bank account, you'd have to pay vat on it (19-23% usually, depending on EU country).

This is no longer the case.

Updated my witness this morning. Running fine.

With all due respect, I do not want to diss your project or anything, I'm just voicing my opinion.

As fav says, workers are not meant to fund external projects.

Examples for workers:
Add blinded transactions to frontend and post results on github for everyone to see
Add vested balances to frontend
Add proposed transactions to frontend
Improve market trading api calls since they're not too good at the moment
Create mobile wallet

All of these items are not a project that is trying to make money on its own, and I think that is the big difference.

If you're lobbying for a worker proposal, the software you create should be open source AND, most importantly all the profits that are created must be given back to the BTS community by burning or similiar - expecting the community to pay for development though inflation and then not getting all the rewards and profits is a big nono, in my opinion.

If you do not lobby for a worker contract it looks different, and I would support your plan.

One other thing I noticed. 360K bts a day? Are you serious?? There are only 500k available for worker proposals each day, and your proposal would eat 72% of it. That leaves pretty much nothing for other big worker proposals and it looks like you may act very selfish.

At current rates, that's 1440USD a day or if you remove the weekend, it's 2016 USD per workday (Monday-Friday). 2 programmers and one designer do not cost that much on the open market, and I would expect you to take a big discount when you decide to work for BTS, since you're eating a big amount of the available budget anyway.

All in all, this looks like a private company/product to be built with the community paying - I urge the community to reject this proposal for the time being, as it does not fulfill the base requirements I would see for workers:

  • Software created must be open source
  • Potential profit generated must be burned or 100% given back to the community
  • Rate must be reasonable, may not be at or over market rates, as we have a budget to look after. 2000USD for 3 people full time per DAY is outragous.

I would not lower it to 5 BTS, 10 BTS should be the minimum, that is 4 cents. Very reasonable IMHO.
