General Discussion / Re: Is the new BTS client available?
« on: November 07, 2014, 05:42:01 am »
The code is done, the snapshot is ready, the release candidate will hopefully be out tomorrow and a hard fork scheduled for next week.

Mostly just testing and validation at this point.
Woohoo!  +5%

November 6 Bloomberg Businessweek - Lame-stream Media are such muppets ::)

I accept I'm not as smart as most of you guys and I am certainly no coder, but multi-sig from my vantage point goes a long way to forming a consensus at a critical juncture as well as securitizing securing development funds. IMHO. (apologies for postulating out of my depth) :-[

Hmmmm.....

I can sympathize with alphabar. he has a point in terms of accountability and transparency. I also support his right to question any move that  the dev team makes on behalf of this community even if I don't necessarily agree.

That said, I fully support funding our Devs as much as we can to keep their livelihoods intact and reward them commensurate with their skills. I want our devs and delegates to be paid well in excess of anything they could achieve in the corporate world. As I have stated previously... You pay peanuts, you'll get monkeys.

Contracts for Differences ("CFDs") products were developed to allow customers to enjoy all the benefits of possessing a stock, index, ETF, forex or commodity position without having to physically own the underlying instrument itself. A customer enters into a contract for a CFD at the quoted price. The difference between that price and the price when the position is closed is settled in cash, giving rise to the name "Contract for Difference" or CFD.

Have you actually read the contracts for one of the brokers which offer CFD as a forex broker? It's mind boggling...

IE: I believe it was ATC brokers... which have a pool of money that all traders accounts get put into... the CFD's are traded backed this pool and if at any point the pool runs out of money, well shit out luck all accounts are seized and bankruptcy would mean some accounts would be paid out while others left to try based on the shortfall of the pool.
Holy Cow, thats pretty harsh. I think each broker (company) would have it's own policies. Really pays to read the fine print  :o

With CFDs customers can buy ("go long") and close the position later by selling. Alternatively customers can sell ("go short") and close the position later by buying. Selling at a higher/lower price than the purchase price yields a gain/loss accordingly.

CFDs have grown in popularity over the past few years. It is increasingly becoming the preferred way to trade the financial markets.

CFDs work like this: instead of purchasing 1,000 Microsoft shares from a stockbroker, a customer could instead buy a 1,000 CFDs of Microsoft. A $5 per share fall in the price of Microsoft would give the CFD customer a $5,000 loss or a $5 per share rise in the price of Microsoft would give the CFD customer a $5,000 profit , just as if he had purchased the actual shares that are traded on the Exchange.

Any financial entitlements, such as dividends, are adjusted for in cash, directly to a CFD holder's account. However, any voting rights available to the holder of an equity share are not available to the holder of an equivalent CFD.

Monster contribution

Holy Toledo! If this is the kind of participation that we are going to get from our delegates, well... I'm just saying, this is going to be a huge leap forward for sharehodlers the community.

How many more of these brilliant minds are out there building prototypes in their own time and looking for a community to release them into.

I'm really impressed monsterer. You rock baby! 8)

Muse/SoundDAC / Re: Should Bitshares Music approach Kim Dot Com?
« on: November 03, 2014, 04:10:57 am »
Kim Dotcom is laying rather low after his catastrophic defeat in the NZ elections space. A lot of negativity around him after his own acknowledgement of his lack of foresight and accompanying baggage.

That said, I have no doubt that he will be looking for an opportunity to reinvent himself.

Couple of shady items of interest that I have yet to research further:
Actually, I really want to like the guy. At face value, I think he's just as fed up with TPTB as we are. :-\

PS. I'm quite certain he has no affiliation with megacoin
