this is a good idea. We would need some way to filter out the talent, but i love the concept. BM is always saying we have more projects than workers.  +5%

I like the idea, but we should have one for gold too. Personally, I view the USD as toxic and don't want to hold it at all, let alone for a year.

I really don't know what you mean. Negative interest rates is madness. It destroys capital. You can't have capitalism without capital. You can't have capital without savings. Savers should be rewarded for under consuming.

I'm out of the USD because it's being devalued. Bitshares used to offer me interest on gold and silver, where else could I get that? Bitshares should focus of attracting savers because everything depends on savers and saving is a virtue.

For $300, let's just get it done.

Totally agree.

bitshares needs a basic bitusd wallet app for phones

YES and not just for USD. BTC, CNY and GOLD

There's obviously a market for being able to keep, send, spend millions of USD/other privately all around the world in seconds outside the existing banking system. So in terms of BitShares power users. I would just continue focusing on being able to offer private, liquid, easy to use BitUSD, BitCNY and BitGold with easy off-ramps. Switzerland was built off the back of private banking & BTS will have the ability to offer Switzerland on the  blockchain.

Uphold (formerly BitReserve) is supposedly the fastest growing money platform in the world atm through it's offering of centralized BitAssets accessible via Bitcoin. Despite their questionable structure, NuBits volume at times is also promising. So I'm confident the BitAsset market leader will be huge in a few years (though I still think it like Bitcoin may gain initial traction through gambling use cases.)

EXACTLY THIS ^^ for those of us who want to simply bank and save.
One of the reasons BITRESERVE is fastest growing is because the interface is easy to understand and use. If i want to use it as a bank its easy.

I would really love someone who is technical enough to create a new wallet that is as professional looking and as easy to use as bitreserve and i'm sure we would gain traction.
My 2 cents.

thank you very much. Good luck with the project!
Looking forward to a nice collaboration in the future with bitshares.
Thanks, we too. The ball is largely in your (Bitshares') Court. We've been open and ready to discuss collaboration and overlap for weeks, so just let us know when you guys are ready :)

Also: IOTA's first sale period, 'Pioneer', is ending today at 14:00 UTC. This period yields 15% more IOTA to the purchaser.

So far we've raised over 460 BTC and 35 000 JINN (equivalent to ~220BTC)

I highly recommend that you join in our weekly meeting via mumble  this Friday 10am EST.  Bytemaster will be there talking and sharing with a number of community members.

Mumble details - https://beyondbitcoin.org/mumbleinfo/

Agreed. Please join our mumble

I have a friend who wants to convert some of his real gold and silver coins into bitGOLD and bitSILVER. How??

As usual KenCode is right on the money. This would be very valuable for those who perhaps want to leave one country and go to another.

Greeks Told To Declare Cash "Under The Mattress", Jewelry And Precious Stones
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 12/01/2015 14:26 -0500

When earlier today we read a report in the Greek Enikonomia, according to which Greek taxpayers would be forced to declare all cash "under the mattress" (including inside) or boxes that contain more than 15,000 euros as well as jewelry and precious stones (including gold) worth over 30,000 euros, starting in 2016, we assumed this has to be some early April fools joke or a mistake.

After all, this would be merely the first step toward full-blown asset confiscation, conducted so many times by insolvent governments throughout history, once the government cracks down on those who made a "mistake" in their asset declaration form or simply refuse to fill such a declaration, thereby making all their assets eligible for government confiscation.

It was not a joke.

Here is the take of Keep Talking Greece, whose stunned response mirrors ours.

Cash "under the mattress" totaling more than 15,000 euro, jewelry and other valuable items such as diamonds and gemstones, should be declared to electronic system of tax authorities, Taxisnet, as of 1 January 2016. Next to properties and vehicles and shares, now the taxpayers will also have to declare their deposits. And not only that. They will have to fill if they rent bank lockers and if yes, also the name of the bank and the branch, even if abroad. A joint ministerial decision issued by the Ministries of Justice and Finance indicates that taxpayers in Greece should add all their valuables into a new category of the tax declaration, the “Assets declaration.”

Specifically, the decision provides that: “Assets declarations” are submitted electronically and mandatory via Taxisnet. Starting date for the submission is 1.1.2016 Declared must be cash money if more than 15,000 euro and precious items if their total value exceeds 30,000 euro. These amounts apply cumulatively per household (husband, wife, underage children). To facilitate the completion of the declaration, data from the income statements (E1 and E9) will be drawn automatically. Note that this Assets declaration process will initially apply to lawmakers, journalists, public servants etc and is the rehearsal for the creation of the electronic property & assets register that will be extended to all taxpayers. The new assets declaration form has a total of 56 pages. The decision has been taken “in the context of support and development of the economy,” (Isnt this what they always say?) the ministers state.

Im not sure that i agree with any of the options listed really, at least not the way they're written.

I think that BM has proven himself to have developed and solved some of the biggest issues out there in crypto and he deserves an enormous amount of credit for that. The project is never going to be finished as new feature are always going to come and go as things change.

The problem i think we have is not being quite 'finished' in terms of usability. I'm going to put a poll out somewhere for crypto users and see what the general public's perception is of 2.0.

Put this poll out there on Reddit, or elsewhere, and ask for some honest feedback from people. Let them tell us what they like and dislike about it.

Thank you jakub, I think we really need this.
In my opinion we need to tackle these one by one and get to a finished, stable product.
