So, I visited for the first occasion but still none the wiser. Could you suggest a tldr; of what advantage comes with holding AGS? Obviously, it's nice for I3 to have locked in support but what's the pull for those holding PTS to move to AGS?

I think this is like the old stock market where people curse at each other across the floor along with placing bids and sell orders

Perhaps, though it's possible not everyone has capability - there might be a third group that feels excluded. It's more likely that group will include the young frustrated, that we might hope would become more engaged in future. Tolerate the memes then ;D

Such comments do BitShares no favours. Saying shit doesn't make it true. Brag about it once you have a working product. Talk is cheap etc. Making empty promises is more likely to put people off than attract them.


If I would be one of the founder's or dev's of the project I would probably agree ... But I am not...
But even if I have the power to attract people or put them off because of my quotes... then I will probably use my talent more often  :)

PS xeroc buyed allready more PTS... :P  ;)

That was a simple statement of the perception such chatter has, rather than suggesting you carry that responsibility. It also happens to be a direct quote I put to eMunie, since I saw the same nonsense there.

.... Conclusion ... Guys invest only on BitShares*, enough with shitcoins and shitprojects experimentation... at least the devs on bitshares are trustworthy and honest or if you preffer not so greedy like elsewhere... you can not make a big mistake here!

There is market space for all meta coins to do well, you don't have to put down the competition; doing so only makes you appear weak. Some meta coins are showing real promise and are delivering capability now and several will be real contenders. Perhaps some will then compete with BitShares own features but that challenge only makes you stronger. If BitShares is to be so much better, let it do the talking.


Also, you evidently haven't looked into the background of MaidSafe; it looks like a remarkable project with real potential and many years of support - just consider the academic outputs and patents alone. Google Scholar search suggests 76 results (BitShares gets 2). As such, of course, the usual pump and dump crowd will miss the point but who needs them coasting on a free ride.


While I'm here, I didn't want to post a simple 'me too' post but impressed with AdamBLevine's reply above, as that's spot on. DPOS is ambitious and I'm keen to see BitShares deliver a first product.

Is that not back to front?.. Surely the blockchain locks down time, giving it direction and making it useful. The ambiguity of trade on the internet without blockchain reference point, is beyond what the real world offers. Removing that ambiguity, gives us back the confidence of action that we're more familiar with. It makes trade evidenced, which is why the misnomer that is Bit'coin', is valuable.

Why would X tests affect PTS price? Snapshot has been taken already.

Delivery of one product gives confidence in the value of future products.

Each time I see a network connectivity graph, I can't help wonder what it would take to have it stall or fork. It's not obvious to me how nodes find and prefer others, though perhaps that has become standard from P2P. Especially with slow churn PoS networks, where there might also be large holders, I can only wonder at what the effect of those might be. NXT has me wondering about how distributed the forgers really are but I guess there might be a risk to all kinds of network. Where nodes are inclined to look to the first they see rather than jumping as far as they can or having some dynamic in the length of each connection, perhaps there is a risk of two sides of the network fighting. In my ignorance I also don't understand what happens to a transaction that is accepted to a block that fails but I guess the original node keeps broadcasting until it hears the transaction has been accepted on the tree it knows. The other thought seeing these graphs is that dataisbeautiful.

Who came up with Keyhotee.. that's a great name and not so lazy/obvious as ones above.

Perhaps look to baby names.. I haven't time atm.. but Native American throws
Ujurak - rock (Inuktitut)
Kanti - Sings (Algonquin)
Knoton - Wind (NAtive American)
+?

^yuck.

The sound looks good but d-ecen"tra", just reminds me of lazy teenspeek.. innit?


Still not clear what Bitshare Music blockchain will suggest for the service provided. Perhaps that needs to be clear for us to offer names that communicate that difference. Is it a streaming service; a store of your music; or something else - what is currently the nearest traditional offering?

Edit: I see now it's to help "artists to let their fans copy and share music as much as possible".
So, perhaps "Base" would be appropriate.

Meta / Re: New Forum Icons

I think my second thought was the practical side of fixing the hexagons to size but where size permits perhaps those could work well, so down the side of the forum list, for example; and in headers, in favicons and small usage perhaps do without.

I got used to Keyhotee having a splash of red and miss that.. perhaps maroon sits better with blue, I don't know but I don't think anything would be lost from having red and perhaps yellow as splash eye catch. The more rare the use the more it will notice. The [Technical Support] forum was the other example that calls out for red and white hoop.

It's all good. Content matters more than presentation but you don't want to hear that :)

I like them but had thought the hexagonal token-like background was part of the design; I rather liked that providing some consistency across all of them. The icons are well done but nothing now binds them together and I wonder if they are weaker for it.

Unfortunate that the Keyhotee isn't a red or maroon K too.

It's unclear to me what the intent is but if it's somehow binding ownership to blockchain, then perhaps "Your music".
