Technical Support / Witness stuck on fork, now wont sync
« on: October 22, 2015, 07:52:30 am »
My witness got stuck on a fork due to another venting balance claim. Restarted it, crashed. Deleted database. Restarted. Now it just sits there not syncing or doing anything. Advice?

Technical Support / [API] How to get best bid/ask?
« on: October 20, 2015, 07:57:05 pm »
I'm looking at cli_wallet, all I can find is get_limit_orders, but there is no documentation.

Is that just one side of the book? Are the results ordered? Is there a better way to get the orderbook?

Technical Support / [API] Transaction IDs/unconfirmed transactions?
« on: October 20, 2015, 03:11:03 pm »
What are we supposed to use for a TXID for unconfirmed transaction?

Specifically, the transfer API call doesn't seem to return anything obvious?

Technical Support / [API] no method with name 'get_asset'
« on: October 19, 2015, 07:11:36 pm »
Got a websocket connection to a witness node, and I can call some API functions, but I'm getting

Code: [Select]
no method with name 'get_asset'
When trying to call get_asset, and similar for most other API calls. What am I doing wrong?

General Discussion / Towards parity in the bitAsset markets thru bonds and margin trading
« on: October 19, 2015, 12:15:11 pm »
In the current design bitAssets will always trade at a premium because of the risk of being short compared to holding the bitAsset. This proposal aims to allow the market to trade at parity. It might have horrible flaws, but here it is anyway:

* Add a bond market which is blockchain margin called based on feed prices
* Bond lenders lend BTS for traders to trade on margin
* Traders can go long or short BTS on margin against the feed price
* Traders post BTS collateral to maintain their margin position on both sides of the trade
* When a long is matched with a short, a bitAsset gets created

A long is not equal to a spot buy trade in this proposal - you go long based on your margin, so you can buy more BTS than you hold, comparing a long to a spot buy, and it is always a CFD where you end up back in BTS when the contract ends.

This has the advantage that being long holds the exact same risk profile as being short, which means the market stands a better chance of trading at parity rather than at a premium.

Thoughts?

Technical Support / Forcing API users to authenticate over websockets will hinder adoption
« on: October 13, 2015, 08:40:54 am »
Authenticated access to the Graphene API has been restricted to websocket use, arbitrarily (other chains, and even bitshares 1.0 had authenticated access over HTTP).

http://docs.bitshares.eu/api/access.html

This will slow adoption because there is a greater amount of effort required to build a client side websocket interface, especially when all the other blockchains an exchange will likely encounter have HTTP APIs, so they will have already built HTTP wrappers.

edit: Websockets are good for callbacks and data streaming. API calls suit HTTP better.

Technical Support / Why not wait for N blocks instead of using the delayed node?
« on: October 08, 2015, 02:42:41 pm »
Is there another advantage to using a delayed node that wouldn't be afforded by waiting N blocks on a trusted node?

I'd like to be able to minimise the number of executables I need to maintain because it's easier that way.

Technical Support / Publicly expressing my concern about the hard-coded hard fork to 2.0
« on: September 17, 2015, 08:25:49 am »
Now that the 0.9.3 scuppering upgrade has been released (https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares/releases/tag/bts%2F0.9.3), the hard-fork is set in stone, which means, ready or not, the chain will expire on the October 13th.

The testnet for 2.0 isn't working yet (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,17962.msg236734.html#msg236734). This is a huge concern. These things are extremely complicated, and done wrong, or rushed out the door, this could completely undermine confidence in the platform.

In my opinion, the testnet should have been running fully functional,  and without bugs, for 1 month at least before scheduling any kind of hard fork.

Technical Support / Voting in bitshares
« on: September 14, 2015, 10:09:21 am »
How long does stake need to bond before it can vote?

How often are votes tallied?

edit: the core of my question is to establish how bitshares voting avoids sybil attack by moving stake around

Technical Support / Multiple wallets, same chain?
« on: September 04, 2015, 08:41:05 am »
Has anyone managed to get two bitshares wallets running on one machine?

Is it possible at all?

Can you have them share the same chain?

General Discussion / Decoupling bitAssets from BTS through POW
« on: August 28, 2015, 12:55:02 pm »
This is wildly out there in terms of ideas and bare with me and a lot of controversial statements follow, but hear me out:

1) POW is the direct conversion of electricity (kWh) into tokens
2) Using BTS as the collateral for bitAssets can lead to a self reinforcing collapse since they two things are intrinsicly linked
3) The price of electricity is relatively stable compared to crypto currencies

Given these assumptions, is it possible to create a kWh token, created by burning N kilowatt-hours through POW, and then to use that token as the collateral backing bitAssets?

General Discussion / Remind me, why is bitUSD trading at a premium right now?
« on: August 17, 2015, 08:48:28 am »
Is it due to the continuing down trend of BTS, or was there some other more fundamental skew due to the way the shorting works?

General Discussion / ETH/BTC (Ethereum) market added to metaexchange.info!
« on: August 14, 2015, 09:55:02 am »
Hi guys,

I've just added a ETH/BTC market to metaexchange.info:

https://metaexchange.info/markets/ETH/BTC

Great for arbitrage because we only have a 5 confirmation delay on a sell, rather than 720 like polonix and shapeshift.

Cheers, Paul.

Technical Support / Wallet became stuck on fork after installing NTP - how to resync?
« on: August 13, 2015, 08:53:38 am »
A change in the system clock caused the 0.9.2 wallet to become stuck on a fork with 2% participation, and a simple restart does not fix the problem.

How can I get it back on the right fork without deleting the entire chain?

General Discussion / Etherium's network status page is awesome
« on: July 29, 2015, 01:38:36 pm »
Check it out: https://stats.ethdev.com/

Very cool. Would be great to have something like that for bitshares.
