Interesting visualization. Makes me want to do a similar time lapse visualization for our delegates.

So let's discuss pay outs here...



I can't figure out why the payment is still not reflected in my account.

What can I do to help debug this issue?

Not sure if I was considered one of the "ramblers" in the DACs v.s. Firms discussion. I'm passionate about the idea of using a thin BlockChain + DHT to store the data.

It will be interesting to see how well this project here solves it:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/612530753/gitchain

It is very similar to my concept (and it's nothing new, technically GIT already is a blockchain since it uses hashes for all the commits).

Once there is a decentralized GIT hosting, there could be many interesting solutions. For example the source code for a DAC could live on the chain itself!!! So even if GitHub gets shutdown, or a project gets booted off GitHub, it will continue to live in the cloud.

If the random number is going to be controlled by FreeTrade, I suggest implementing something like the provably fair method from prime dice:

Check the "verification" section. A "secret" is used for all the bets, then the client is able to generate their own seed to put in the mix, then the next day the secret is revealed to prove there was no foul play.

This increases confidence in the system as exhibited by the total of BTC that was wagered on that site (at the moment of writing 372,454 BTC)

This is quite inspiring approach.

I think Invictus should allow some % (if not most) of the funds raised by AGS holders to go towards tasks the community wants done. It is their money, they should be allowed to invest in projects they feel are important for the bitshares community.

e.g. If I am a developer and create a fancy UI trading platform that handles BTS X and need more funds to finish it, AGS holders should be allowed to fund me.

In fact there is always space for more than one implementations of the same problem, and it would breed a healthy competition.

Instead we wait for I3 to hire the right person, and *hope* it turns out well. Which even if they do everything right, it's nice to hedge our bets and again - to have a competitive environment.

Again I know I may sometimes come off criticizing or FUD (or even frustrated), but it's only because I have a vision and designs that are major improvements and I would like to see happen. I actually have huge respect for what I3 is doing, I just think that they are somewhat limiting themselves by trying to build an eco-system while maintaining full control of its funding.

This would also really raise confidence in the ecosystem and attract talent, who otherwise might not be interested in participating.

Thoughts? Comments? Would you like to be able to vote with your AGS on what gets developed to help the ecosystem?
