Priority 1
1) Light Weight Client
2) Web Wallet
3) BTS wallet improvement
- I'd include Hedgewallet and the Mobile wallet in this list
* It's a shame core development wasn't involved with this earlier as a reason to use BitUSD. We could have used Bitcoin's network effect to help show an immediate use for BitUSD.
- Tool tips
- A walkthrough button in the client explaining how to use each option with arrows and screenshots
- Link to video tutorials
- Recommend putting the delegate voting information in advanced until it is much easier to understand
Priority 2
12) Marketing
Marketing is doing fine building infrastructure and building processes. Once the clients are ready, this give marketing exactly what they need to start pushing the BitShares message. If you look at the feedback we're receiving in BCT, even those that are in crypto have a real hard time understanding BitShares. An optimized wallet sets them on the right path.
13) Widespread media coverage
If Nullstreet can pull off the coordination of Hedgewallet (moving between Bitcoin and BitAssets in 1 wallet), we can push it to every Bitcoin friendly publication. We immediately tap into their large network. We provide a strong funnel to use BitUSD which will help us with merchant/user option down the road.
5) Easy to use multi-sig for cold storage
The only way we convert the large Bitcoin holders is to make sure they feel safe with cold storage.
Priority 3
7) User-Issued Asset (UIA) features
Lots of quality documentation (ie: BM's blog)
9) Whitepapers (Same as 3?)
- UIA features give marketing a second push
- Documentation will help us attract additional development help
- Integration documents for exchanges and other services make that conversation much easier for our business development delegates
Priority 4
17) Getting listed on one of the top exchanges (BTCChina, OKCoin, Bitfinex or Bitstamp)
18) Getting bitUSD accepted on one of the top crypto marketplaces
19) Workable debit card for bitUSD
20) merchant adoption
15) Gateways
16) Easy fiat onramps from USD into both BTS and bitUSD (same as 5?)
- Obviously many of these options are already being investigated one way or another
- By time the first 3 priorities are complete, Priority 4 should be a natural progression
Priority 5
- Prediction markets, bond market, margin etc
Currently
- In the last weekly update, BM mentioned gateway infrastructure development is already active
- I know there was talk of a press kit direction on Nullstreet, need to get an update if that's still an active project
- I've been sending Gentso contacts, he's been actively going after payment processors, debit cards, gateways etc. That won't happen overnight.
- Bridges are currently deployed, I saw a post about a gateway being worked on in the BitShares community.
- Jsidhu is working on different ecommerce plugins
- Video production is being outlined on Nullstreet
