General Discussion / Has the Matrix changed or is it just me?
« on: July 26, 2014, 02:20:34 am »
Ever since upgrading to 0.2.3 everything works worse for me.  Wallet has issues registering accounts, transferring to myself and my delegate has started dropping blocks. 

I noticed a spike in my delegate cpu sometime after midnight last night, was also near the time my bter transfer of yesterday went through, which also killed my ability to transfer today.

Something seems odd to me....

Your votes aren't applied until you make a transaction.  So you can make a transaction to yourself and your vote will be applied for whatever amount was in the transaction.

I tried this and am getting an error something like wallet_transfer negative fee   

any ideas?

When you transfer the full amount to yourself, be sure to account for the fee, ie: your full balance -0.1 XTS

I'm not transferring the full amount.  It worked on my first test of .1 BTSX but now fails for any amount it seems.

Edit: Correction, it works for .1 BTSX.  Then it worked for 100.

General Discussion / Re: RDPOS - Recommended Delegated Proof of Stake
« on: July 25, 2014, 05:51:25 pm »
I'm a bit curious if DacsUnlimited has defined a mission statement or target audience?  It's important to identify your target user(s).

Is it a Bank/Exchange for:

CryptoNerds?
Libertarians?
Chinese people?
Typical Bank/Exchange users?
Advanced Bank/Exchange users?
....

or some/all of the above?

Each of these groups have different and probably some overlapping values so they will have their own ideas of BENEFITS.

Crypto people are often very invested in the technical concepts, details and privacy.  Some of those values may clash with the values of a typical Banking/Exchange user.  I heard an interview with Bytemaster and it sounded like that is something that he has been thinking about with respect to the whole Decentralization idea. 

Just wondering what the desired end-state would be?  Replace your local Bank?  Replace Etrade?  Replace both?  or is this really something completely different and beyond all that?

Just a thought on penalizing people who don't vote...Keeping mind that I am no expert on this stuff by any means. I barely get it in many ways....BUT i would say that I think someone needs to focus a lot on the usability of the system for it's intended purpose by it's intended USERS

How much thought, time, energy do the expected USERS of the system want to put into VOTING?  Is that why they are using the system so they can spend time evaluating DELEGATES and voting for them?  I don't think so.  Sometimes we can get so caught up in the myriad of interesting and sometimes marginally more beneficial ways to do something and forget about how we encourage adoption and continued use of the system. 

Speaking for myself, I am for the Keep It Simple System as much as possible.  I don't want to spend much if any time voting for delegates....but I do want the system to be safe and secure.

Why not reward people for voting?

I think that's better, keeping in mind I'm only thinking of the end users point of view, not the economic or technical merits.

You have to think and talk USER BENEFITS to encourage use so making "money" is certainly a BENEFIT.  If anyone ever creates a user guide (good idea BTW) they should put all the technical details in an appendix for those who are interested but focus on BENEFITS and use of the system primarily.  Just put a small section with bolded catch phrases like "Delegated Proof of Stake" with a link to the appendix.  Don't put it in their face and force them to wade through it.  Many will be impressed enough by the cool catch phrases.  :) 

However, my honest view is that as a USER of the system, I would expect the system to secure itself or to have the "carbon units" if there are any, take care of it.

I'm sure it must have been discussed before, but it seems like BTSX which is being burnt that is currently benefiting all shareholders, would have to be re-directed instead as dividends to active voters only, if that were technically possible.

Then the system will have fees that undercut the current trading system, a big benefit to users,  and if they take the time to vote occasionally they could actually earn a decent rate of interest, an even bigger benefit to users. (The fewer people voting the bigger the interest rate, so this system will naturally attract more voters if the voting pool becomes small.)

As a user, I would probably be interested in that.  Depending on the frequency of voting and as long as it wasn't required.

If you are using the GUI you cannot import the wallet.json yet. However, if you would like to put your wallet on another computer go to the BitShares X folder and copy the wallet folder to a flash drive. Put the wallet folder in the same location on the other computer and it should work
This is what I have done when upgrading my delegate.  Just copying the wallet folder from one to another.

I got a reply to my ticket.  Said the ticket is closed but to let them know if I still have a problem....No explanation or even saying it was fixed.  Regardless, still don't have my BTSX!  At least they answered the ticket. 

It's unfortunate though, really unfortunate.  Definitely won't buy if I can't get it out.

Next reply said, "if I received the earlier ones, I should receive the last".   Thanks. I feel the same way.  Doesn't seem that they are actually doing anything other than saying, it should work.   :(

Done.

Is there yet a way to see which version delegates are running?

I think you can use the command about


mywallet (unlocked) >>> about
{
  "bitshares_toolkit_revision": "7c3645e760305fce559ecfe05941c6d4c666f356",
  "bitshares_toolkit_revision_age": "20 hours ago",
  "fc_revision": "a254e5ff280cf88814730556c656254919bf53b6",
  "fc_revision_age": "28 hours ago",
  "compile_date": "compiled on Jul 24 2014 at 02:51:35"
}

but it's kinda hard to interpret.

I will have to  do this  recent update later tonight.
