He will always be able to say he bought the cheapest BTS ever.I actually got the cheapest BTS ever right when it went live. at 1251 I think on BTER. then I got out around 8000. Now I had some re-entry points that got hit cost avg 1550 I think. Can't complain.

It's useless, because developers are hugely underpaid.I wish someone could just recreate BTSX and let the market prove that it is a better DAC.
IMO bear market trend keeps continue until Chinese stock market bubble pops.It's not a matter of our fault, but a matter about the nature of the hot money.We have high dependency on China. What we can do now is move our center of gravity from China to all around the world.
Empirical, what is hilarious about that is, Rune the big supporter of that is gone.
It was very hard to be against the merger as it was basically that or VOTEhttps://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,10118.msg132097.html#msg132097
Quote from: Empirical1.2 on April 29, 2015, 03:17:04 pmI feel dilution was a mistake even cannibalising a successful no dilution DAC and starting with a high CAP it's been unsuccessful at creating more network effect/attracting more users than it took away. MineBitShares does seem to be showing some positive numbers but I'm still not a fan. It's very hard to close Pandora's box though, (because you set precedent) which is the problem I always had with dilution. At the same time, I really think a good BitAsset can attract the masses regardless of the vehicle given the climate we're entering atm. I'll personally buy if BitAssets 3.0 and moonstone work well regardless of the merger and dilution. Though I feel those should be addressed.Dude, i wish there was more resistance to the merger at that time.It's now obvious that the experiment with the merger and dilution is a failure. Anyone who still doubt that just look at the price and don't fool yourself. How much more you have to lose until you realize this is going nowhere?

How to regain confidence?Bring back BitSharesX. Remove parasitic AGS+PTS+DNS+VOTE from the supply. Make it deflationary and remove useless delegate inflation that was never supposed to be there. Never ever touch the supply again. The collateral for BitAssets cannot be a penny stock.Current system is a failure and the price shows it!!!! Admit the mistake and recreate the project or this is doomed to be burned to the ground!

Quote from: blahblah7up on October 03, 2014, 12:59:51 amThere are so many ways to do incredible marketing. Can someone explain the fervent push on all fronts this week to inflate the currencies before ANY marketing campaign AT ALL has launched and the effects thereof can be evaluated? Quote from: bitmarket on October 03, 2014, 03:08:59 amBrilliant. I love the idea.Although just curios about your 500k Bitcoin user estimation.I have heard 5 Mill. With Coinbase having 1.5 million wallets, Blockchain having over 2 million, I think there would be lots more than that.The last I saw was 1 million Bitcoin users, extrapolated from MtGox leaked info. But 90% of Bitcoin users are have less than $3500 worth of Bitcoin. The average amount within that 90% group would be a lot less than that. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=316297.0 http://www.coinreporting.com/globalstats.php?c=USD#value has 12000 users who actually take the time to track their portfolio. 90% of them have on average less than $600 in Crypto. Bear in mind they're investors at least. This strategy proposed here is attracting 'spenders' not savers. Regardless, you won't even get the right demographic anyway imo, with those kind of returns, you will get a network of families, social groups & scammers recycling an initial investment of a few thousand dollars and fleecing us for 100% returns in less than a month. Of course, imagine for a second that the numbers were right and added up. The real question is the one Coinhoarder nailed. What is the cost to BTSX of adding inflation.Quote from: CoinHoarder on October 03, 2014, 06:32:15 amI'm not sure what I think about this yet, but my immediate thoughts are not good. We need to think about all the possible implications, be 99% sure it will work, and go over all of the dynamics and economics of it. I think a lot of things could possibly go wrong, it will hurt our image in the cryptocurrency community, and as someone else already mentioned it will give the detractors more ammo to unload on us with.It could make the rest of the Cryptocoin community look poorly on us as if we will print money at will on a whim. If we do it this once, what's to stop it from happening multiple times?I have been using the fact BTSX is pretty much the only deflationary Cryptocoin in existence as a selling point. If we are printing money that selling point disappears and anyone that has been saying this looks foolish or like a liar.If it doesn't work as well as intended it could end up being very expensive advertising, along with Oall of the other negative side effects as mentioned above. The new users getting free money could just dump it all on the market and it backfire on us.Edit: Of course BTSX is a DAC not a crypto-currency but the potential negative impact could still be catastrophic. If there are any Chinese speakers could you do a poll or start a thread on the Chinese section and get some feeback there.
So is this a Christmas Present?

Pandora's Box... *inflation*.... can come in two forms "unrestricted" and "restricted"... There are two kinds of restrictions... rate and duration.... Bitcoin has "restricted inflation" at 10% per year that halves ever 4 years... that isn't pandoras box according to crypto community...Having a similar plan... Inflation of 10% per year that falls to 1% over 10 years as a MAX inflation, then controlled and directed by delegates and thus ultimately the shareholders who are being inflated.Like I said elsewhere, network effect is everything and competitors are able to copy the code + add dilution + buy network effect.You claimed this was attracting the *wrong kind of user*.. the "spenders". This is actually not about the "spending" which is something we all do. This is proving to users that they can easily access their savings without spreads... that a dollar in their wallet is a dollar they can spend. Once they see *that* working then they see the YIELD and become savers. You will not attract savers with any yield if they think it is too hard to get in/out of... if there is "too much setup cost / risk". You are not really giving these people money, you are paying for a test drive and sales pitch. If you are worried the inflation (capped at 10%) will cause your BTSX to grow slower than it would without the inflation or even fall in value then you have options of buying BitAssets that pay yield. Serious investors with large stakes must approve of the inflation and these serious investors know that using the term "inflation" is FUD when "dilution" and "capital infusion" are more accurate metaphors. Serious investors don't invest in tech, they invest in people with tech. Obviously a DAC with dilution and ability to raise capital can be cloned from BTSX or if BTSX adds dilution then one without it can be cloned. In fact, both can exist at the same time and the market can decide. The DAC without dilution can even copy all of the software features paid for by the DAC with dilution and maintain feature parity... as an "investor" having to place bets on which DAC will be more successful and generate a higher real return... now it becomes far complex than simply saying "hey I was diluted by 10%" in one and "hey I gained 1%" in the other... you have to ask yourself how much is your 90% worth vs how much is your 101% worth. Dilution to pay miners... BAD... Dilution to get early adopters... good! It worked for bitcoin. Think of early Bitcoin CPU mining as dilution to get people to "try the software". How do you "prove" they have tried the software? Well Proof of Work! Proof of Work allowed people to get the coins and USE the coins.... once they realized they had value then it went "viral". The only problem is Proof of Work is no longer a way to convince people to "try it for free". It has become a situation where professionals are stealing all of the "free" samples and the coin holders have no way of turning off the tap....
The majority has already come around now to dilution imo. However if BTSX delivers share drop losses and has messed with the 2 billion BTSX to do it. Then you might be kissing goodbye to a dream you didn't need to kill because in reality there wasn't a competitor on our heels to warrant such excessive measures. I would now say there's a reasonable chance (20%> imo) that BTSX will historically become the vessel that advertised the power of BitAssets for a chain that is more decentralised with a hard capped inflation limit perhaps not linked to BitShares.
To the ground! It's doomed! Villages will burn! Oh No! No hope!Maybe not.

The price started to dropped before the merger even though everybody was excited about the prepaid card plan "good news". In a down trend good news will get swallowed by the trend and bad news will be amplified by the trend .

It's "funny" but apparently DPOS doesn't even stand for Delegated POS anymore.Since this whole #altsareback hype it stands for Dynamic POS, used for every new shitcoin for the last couple of weeks. Be sure to don't miss out on the next one tomorrow Viral produced by the trustworthy Adam Guerbuz.

Transactinos are still going through every 10 seconds, so the lights are stil on by definition.Why do I post facts that contradict your fear FUD while I'm still enjoying the cheap shares that you are selling to squeeze the BitUSD shorts?I'm not in it for the money. Many of us here have alterior motives which is why we are having a difficult time explaining our "free(to think on its own and make its own decisions)DAC" to the rest of the world who is obsessed with making money to survive.BitShares is not just another "mining coin" where miners leave when it becomes unproofitable to mine. BitShares is a community of people who choose to invest in each other.

Quote from: Ander on April 28, 2015, 05:39:19 pmWhen the market works well again and the client isnt buggy, the valuation should start heading back where it was.Are we sure about that? Given that this downtrend looks exactly like that of any other 2.0 coin, shouldnt we conclude that the vast majority of BTS trading is done on central exchanges, held by users who dont really care about BTS long term. Therefore a polished client isnt going to help that.
