@svk The first thing everyone has to do now is scroll the trollbox to the bottom. Is it possible to make it start out there? It also scrolls itself back to top after changing the chat username or chat color.

Looking good!

Can i vote against or for a proposal in bitshares.openledger.info?
You're in luck -- I've just produced a video on how to vote for a new worker proposal. https://youtu.be/RYFmBVTJodY

@xeroc interesting idea. I think since the worker proposal can be voted out at any time, and the payment will vest for 30 days, shareholders are already well protected.

I've produced a video to introduce this worker proposal! Check it out: https://youtu.be/RYFmBVTJodY

Technical Support / There's a new worker proposal in town!
« on: May 21, 2016, 11:15:30 pm »
Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm officially on the campaign trail for a new worker proposal. I'm looking to produce technical videos, walkthrough videos, and news/announcements for the Bitshares ecosystem. The videos will be posted to the Chronos Crypto YouTube Channel, where they will be received by well over 400 subscribers.

Here's the official worker proposal thread. I've put together a short video to introduce myself, and to explain how you can cast your vote. Watch it now.

Thank you for your support!

Alright, thank you everyone for your feedback! Due to the strong community support, we are moving forward with the worker. I am also putting forward a witness node for your consideration, to help me understand the network from the inside out.

The worker will run for three months, from June 1 to Aug 31. This gives us about 10 days to get those votes in before the work begins.  I have integrated a 30-day vesting period to the worker funds.

Please support the chronos-youtube worker. http://cryptofresh.com/workers

Thank you!

What can we do to bring some sense into LTM?
Restrict more ops to require LTM ... like `create_asset`, `create_withdraw_permission` and stuff
That's pretty brilliant. I was thinking that either fees had to rise (not such a good idea) or LTM cost had to fall (not such a good idea). "Create Asset" is a good candidate for an operation to require LTM.

Stakeholder Proposals / [Witness Proposal] chronos-youtube
« on: May 20, 2016, 10:16:40 pm »
First, let me introduce myself. I've been around Bitshares since late 2014, back when workers and witnesses were combined as "delegates", and we ran v0.9 as a desktop client. Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.

As a corollary to my work to produce Bitshares videos, I would like to run a witness node to get hands-on experience with the fundamentals of Bitshares tech. I have invested in a dedicated virtual machine running Ubuntu in a reputable cloud environment, and it is synced with the network and ready to go.

Please vote for the chronos-youtube witness node!

Stakeholder Proposals / How to shut down a node
« on: May 20, 2016, 09:56:38 pm »
Simple question. I have a node running, but if I kill the process, the entire blockchain gets replayed when I start up again. How do I gracefully shut down a node so that this doesn't happen?

Thanks!

Assuming the community has the right to distribute the videos for promotional purposes, I/BlockTrades would vote for your worker.
I'd prefer the videos stay on the Chronos Crypto channel, but any hotlinking or embedding would be fine. Is that the kind of distributing you had in mind?
I don't mind normally using links, but my concern is that you or youtube could always remove those videos at any time. Would you be willing to give the community the source videos in the unlikely case they are no longer accessible via your youtube account for some reason?
That's a valid concern. I'd be happy to make the .mp4 video files temporarily available to the community as a backup, provided that they are not posted or distributed outside the Chronos Crypto Youtube Channel (unless that channel becomes unavailable and I provide no reasonable equivalent alternative).

* If you focus on OpenLedger, then Openledger should pay you.
If I use https://bitshares.org/wallet for walkthroughs, and demonstrate with Smartcoins like BitBTC rather than OPEN.BTC, then is any part of the work "focused" on OpenLedger?

* I would love to see (already in the very beginning) an explanation video that distinguishes BitShares from OpenLedger/FreedomLedger/MakerX(and whatever comes next).
Well, that's tricky. For many people, that's like the difference between someone's browser, and the Internet. Here, one is the blockchain, and one is how you interact with it. I'll think about the best way to explain this.

Great idea, I would definitely support this.
Thank you!

All it takes it so convince people to upgrade to LTM.
In other words, all it takes is to convince people of something that is currently unlikely: that being an LTM will be long-term profitable because of fee savings and referral fees. I'd agree that the referral system probably isn't compelling for most people right now, if they understand the fee structure.

Videos need to be evergreen and need to focus on the value proposition Bitshares provides.
By "evergreen" I think you mean that the videos need to focus on things that won't make them obsolete. I definitely agree with this, and I always keep it in mind when I'm making videos.



Good feedback. Keep it coming!

Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.

For several years, I have run a Youtube channel under the brand Chronos Crypto, which consists primarily of news, lectures, walkthroughs, and product reviews. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/c/ChronosCrypto.

Now that the BTS 2.0 tech is complete and running smoothly, it's time to bring it the masses. There's so much to cover. Below are a few video ideas:

# Tech Lectures (Example video: Xtreme Thinblocks)
   - DPOS for Dummies (witness roles; the advantage over PoW)
   - Hired by the Blockchain (worker roles)
   - Power to the People (committee roles)
   - Decentralized Consensus (proxy voting)
   - What is a SmartCoin? (shorts and margin calls)
   - Peg All the Things (price feeds and forced settlement)
   - Refer a Friend (referral/registrar system)
   - Custom Account Permissions (Threshold accounts, weight-based accounts, and multi-sig accounts)
# Walkthroughs (Example video: Getting Started with Electrum)
   - Creating an account on OpenLedger
   - Trading on the DEX
   - Securing your wallet with cold storage
   - Creating and managing your own assets
   - Setting up a witness node
   - Buying a lifetime account for marketing referrals
# News & Announcements (Example video: Bitcoin Classic)
   - New features (stealth transactions, subsidizing market liquidity, trollbox in the DEX, etc.)
   - Announcements (new worker or witness proposal to consider)
   - Trending discussions



I propose to create a worker role to produce Bitshares videos under the Chronos Crypto brand. The YouTube channel has well over 400 subscribers, and is well-known in the bitcoin community, so this content will be dual-purpose: to bring new users to the platform, and to help make Bitshares more comprehensible for all of us.

If elected, I will produce a minimum of 3 Bitshares-related videos per month, and publish them on the YouTube channel. In exchange, the worker role will be 500,000 BTS per month, or about $1800 at current prices. I propose to run a worker term of 3 months, and then we can re-assess at that time.  If BTS holders are pleased with my work, it's likely that a second term will be an option.

Stakeholder Proposals / What's up with the Burn roles?
« on: May 19, 2016, 12:15:51 am »
We now have two 100k-burn worker roles that are receiving pay ahead of the refund worker. See http://cryptofresh.com/workers. What's the difference -- this BTS doesn't go into the reserve fund? Is there any purpose to these workers?

EDIT: why is there even a distinction between burning and recycling? I must be missing something.

225
So it is 1/n of the worker pay released per day. Thanks for the quick answer.
