o wow i guess when i started with cryptos i didnt see that comeing
i just liked the idea of haveing a second system to crack the monopol of central banking

it says one had to move its bitshares from bter to the wallet but i didnt do that i didnt have a clue i had to
what do i do now ?
do i have to take action to claim the bts_s1 now ?

what is a snapshot?

lol @ "...and it will all be due to an anonymous genius who gave his/her/their invention away for free." Not sure if mining a million bitcoins should be considered "free"...

well well if only bill gates would have done that and gave us microsoft open sorce and all he would have taken was a billion dolars .........ill call it free........

Well said Ander:

"
I think the main problem is that there are probably only a hundred or so people in the world that actually understand the BTS paid delegates plan, and its benefits, and all of us are on this message board.  And there are thousands of crypto investors out there who bought BTS who have literally no clue what is going on with it, and they just see 'dilution' and the price declining, and they just dump and dump.

At this point we really need the marketing campaign, we need the bitshares info website back up, and we need press releases explaining what has happened and what is coming next, and getting people interested and researching bitshares again.  Once this happens we should get a lot of buying power and the price should rise.  Until it happens we will just keep going lower.  "

i argree with you that it needs a better cominukation and PR but if i use myself as an example
i am just a simple user of the pc and my mothertongue is not english but
after i got interested in cryptos it took not long and i did understand with the help of this forum
and every time i need help i get instant suport
so i think with a bit more PR this will be a big success
the delegate system is the best part couse if we look at the big companies in reallife they treat customers like sh...t and dont care about negative feedbacks its like david vs goliath
the delegate system as i understand means if you get votes you earn if you get no votes you earn less or nothing

and wht does it matter if we go lower at this point , for me my cryptos are a investment i look at in 2 years .
when  windows and co came out i was to stupid to buy shares but not this time 

i found this on github

https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/issues/955

seems its a know issue
and they are working on it

i guess i wait till next update

my os is win7

what more do you need to know `?
