Damn... what a sticky situation.

(http://i.imgur.com/8XCnXik.png)

The biggest problem I see is that if Stan returns the PTS then then it changes the definition of AGS to include a special case which probably people who write custom blockchain scanners would ignore or not know about (and we would have to rewrite the existing ones).

A void agreement cannot be enforced by law.
Agreements made without consideration is void.
This is one of the basic rules of Contract law.
So,ebit has the right to void the contract of donating 6000 to the AGS .And 3i has the legal and moral obligation to comply.

The whole point is that there are no contracts involved at any stage (though IANAL so I don't know, Do you make a contract when you donate to the salvation army bell ringer guy in front of the store?).

I strongly recommend 3I to return the 6000 PTS considering the circumstances.
I feel sorry for it and believe him make a bad mistake ,and but it is impossible for III to return PTS to him.  if III reture PTS to him , verybody who donate in high volume day can requirment III return the PTS or BTC.

不好意思,我不会英语。
我希望i3至少能退回5500个PTS给当事人,如果i3觉得难处理,那么我提议PTSer和AGSer投票来决定。
我相信i3会处理好这次意外,我会一如继往得支持BTS!谢谢!

it is  a special case . our community as well as III should be able to resolve it. it is obviously a mistake by miss using the donation script

EBIT不要担心,我们社区会有解决办法的

Post by: kokojie on April 20, 2014, 06:09:54 pm
I don't think it can be returned, it'll be a big mess to allow special cases. Though due to the abnormally large donation, I guess 3i can find other ways of rewarding him.

Post by: Troglodactyl on April 20, 2014, 07:47:06 pm
It is not technically possible to return AGS.  III has no obligation to do anything about this, but since use of donations is entirely at III discretion, they could take the top 1120 PTS or so of the donation and distribute it to today's donors (including ebit) to decrease their losses.

I'm not saying they should do anything, but if they decide they should, this is the approach I would recommend.
Title: Re: Today .I made a too bad mistake
Post by: mf-tzo on April 20, 2014, 08:08:54 pm
My opinion would be to return the PTS to the guy and call it the day...

Today's PTS donators won't be diluted.

Apparantly that was an honest mistake. Everybody make mistakes...The community should show their support!

That won't work.  His donation is in the blockchain, and the blockchain can't be revised, so he has the AGS already, and the AGS cannot be returned.  If his PTS is returned, he just gets almost 5000 AGS for free.  Since the AGS can't be returned, my recommendation is to send back part of his PTS such that he gets his AGS at closer to the average rate.

Calculate the average AGS per PTS for the past 10 days.
Calculate how many PTS would have to be returned to everyone today such that they effectively paid the same AGS per PTS.
Produce the list of addresses and balances so I can copy /paste it.
Identify a proposed compensation to us and the fellow donors for correcting this mistake.   

This will make sure that the entire community receives a fair outcome.  ebit will still have given more than he intended to, but no one else will have gotten a RAW deal and all ebit effectively loses is a bit of liquidity.

Can I get a refund on the double transaction I sent to the AGS address a month or two ago?  Sent 2kPTS when I only intended to send 1k, blockchain reflects the mistake (it was two TX, one sent the day before the other sent the day after but I closed the client apparently before it broadcast because they were both picked up in the same block when I fired the second one) but I figured the rules were the rules and it was my mistake.

If we're fixing mistakes, I'd be happy to get my 1k PTS back.

Hi, I have a non-crazy idea to recall my PTS: several days ago I send them from exchange trade platform to III so I can not control following DAC shares.

2014-03-28 00:11:36   from PikAq7jB7yHJnZ8gsBXFLWquD1bPoeP7x5   quantity:   158.4 PTS

May I take them back and donate same PTS again from my local wallet?

thank you very much.

The rules are that usage of AGS donations is entirely at III discretion, as they're donations.  In this case I guess they think the best use of some that donation is to show grace to somewhat diminish the consequences of this error.  They would have every right to do the same in your case, or to do nothing.

Those AGS are already allocated to the exchange, and III can't really pull them back, because they're in the blockchain.  Which exchange was it?  Have you tried talking to them about it?  They're really in the best position to do anything about this.

My normal stance would be to do nothing at all because I am afraid of a flood of these types of requests.   I too have been bit by the same mistake Adam made, my wifi connected to a broken network and then two transactions went out on the same day instead of two different days.   

So lets make one thing clear, the community being gracious for this one mistake because it adversely (significantly so) affected more than just the individual who made the mistake by a factor significantly greater than any day in the past.   However, the official policy is that we are under no obligation to do anything and that our choosing to do so in one circumstance does not imply an obligation to do anything for anyone else.   

Thus the rules are still the rules and we continue to follow them.  The rules say that the funds may be used for anything at our sole discretion.  I hope that anyone who has any feelings of unfairness can stop and consider that they want others to suffer misfortune simply because they suffered misfortune.  Such behavior and perspective is unhealthy and is no different than those who want to see a 'tax cheat' punished just because they had to pay taxes.    The proper response is to feel happy for those who received grace, are able to escape taxes, etc.   Wanting others suffer because you have suffer just because you have suffered is counter-productive.

What is your transaction ID for the overspent 1k PTS ?... or demonstrate your a FUD producing irrelevant persona.

Lets avoid name calling or assuming bad intentions.   Trust but verify is perfectly acceptable, but there is no reason for any of us to suspect Adam of having bad intentions.   We may have disagreements about AGS and mining, but that is independent of his character or opinions.

Remember this before you post anything too judgmental about others on this forum:

My apologies.  I deleted my post.  I am a bit impulsive and have been drinking this merry Easter.

When I see nothing but FUD from a certain person, I start to question their intentions without doing my own due diligence.

I don't know much about Adam, except he has some large podcast.

I don't listen to such things usually - not my thing. I prefer reading because it is at my own pace. 

I'm just some developer who has a somewhat varied life experience.  I only view these things from the standpoint of a developer/geek.  Sometimes I am wrong.  Given my life experiences and observations, when I see too much FUD I start I assume the worst.

The problem with the crypto community is so many people have agendas.  I am super-cynical and a lot of times get it wrong. 

I made a bad call here and I guess Adam really did accidentally donate 1k PTS.  My apologies.

People say whatever they want about me, I am what I am, and when I have concerns I voice them.  I think I'm pretty consistent in being the squeaky wheel.

I do it under my own name because many people found out about projects like Bitshares from me and so I feel like I have a responsibility to those who I know have invested money and aren't watching things as closely as I am.

If you want to know me, listen to the show.  I am exactly who I seem to be, it's very simple.

Lets be frank.  You also do it under your own name, because your name is your product and power.  I could use my own name, but I have nothing to sell and my name means 0.   Your point is a little bit superfluous.

I can listen to everything you put out, but at the end of the day I am not privy to your wallet's transactions.

I so hope I am wrong in any implications, but no one really knows.  That is the nature of this beast.  I do not read every other crypto-currency forum to know your consistency as the squeaky wheel.
 
This is not a direct attack on you, just trying to make people realize the level of gaming going on in the cryptoworld.

I use my name because if I do it under another name, people aren't able to recognize my perspective changing with the evidence.  I used to post on this forum under another name and had just as much credibility, switching to my real name just added the liability that people who disagree with me now also dislike me because of that disagreement.

It's much easier to be quietly influential behind the scenes, posting under my own name is a CYA.

Average donation for the previous 10 days was 1203, and the total for the 20th was 6971.  Here are the donations, and the refund amounts necessary to scale everyone's AGS ratio to the 10 day average.  The remaining decision is the appropriate penalty/reduction for ebit's refund.

Nope.

You are right that your name prevents you as being dismissed as a troll, yet it goes further.  Your influence goes  far beyond "I am not a troll" in credibility.  You are a big part of Bitcoin media.  People really really really listen to you.  Trying to downplay your roll.. please!!!!

I'm a total random, but bytemaster has personally addressed my issues multiples times.  He could have considered me a troll, but he obviously takes on legitimate criticism.

Can I get a refund on the double transaction I sent to the AGS address a month or two ago?  Sent 2kPTS when I only intended to send 1k, blockchain reflects the mistake (it was two TX, one sent the day before the other sent the day after but I closed the client apparently before it broadcast because they were both picked up in the same block when I fired the second one) but I figured the rules were the rules and it was my mistake.

If we're fixing mistakes, I'd be happy to get my 1k PTS back.

What is your transaction ID for the overspent 1k PTS ?... or demonstrate your a FUD producing irrelevant persona.

Lets avoid name calling or assuming bad intentions.   Trust but verify is perfectly acceptable, but there is no reason for any of us to suspect Adam of having bad intentions.   We may have disagreements about AGS and mining, but that is independent of his character or opinions.

Remember this before you post anything too judgmental about others on this forum:
(http://quotes-lover.com/wp-content/uploads/They-judge-me-before-they-even-know-me.jpg)

We don't want people choosing to be alone, we want people to be with us so lets not alienate people.

In my opinion put a report function in so that if a person sends too much by mistake they have a time frame to report. That time frame should be 60 minutes after initial confirmation.

If someone cannot figure out that they made a typo after 60 minutes time then they shouldn't get their refund. If it was a genuine accident it wouldn't take days or months to figure out a mistake was made.

But lets play out your logic, what power has my name given me on these forums besides not being dismissed out of hand as a troll?  I'm really curious what my name is getting me besides being on the record about my complaints.  Has anything changed?  Did anyone listen to me about anything?   Were my concerns addressed? 

Nope.

Your last paragraph is a bit of an argument against your point.  You seem on some level to expect your concerns to be addressed because you are Adam B. Levine...

That's my point.  Regardless of expectation I do not get special treatment so your suggestion that I do is simply incorrect.   I expect my concrens to be addressed because I'm a long time supporter both vocally and financially of the Bitshares project, and as an investor I'm very unhappy with the way things are being handled but I have no way to do anything besides voice my concerns.

People say whatever they want about me, I am what I am, and when I have concerns I voice them.  I think I'm pretty consistent in being the squeaky wheel.

I do it under my own name because many people found out about projects like Bitshares from me and so I feel like I have a responsibility to those who I know have invested money and aren't watching things as closely as I am.

If you want to know me, listen to the show.  I am exactly who I seem to be, it's very simple.

Lets be frank.  You also do it under your own name, because your name is your product and power.  I could use my own name, but I have nothing to sell and my name means 0.   Your point is a little bit superfluous.

I can listen to everything you put out, but at the end of the day I am not privy to your wallet's transactions.

I so hope I am wrong in any implications, but no one really knows.  That is the nature of this beast.  I do not read every other crypto-currency forum to know your consistency as the squeaky wheel.
 
This is not a direct attack on you, just trying to make people realize the level of gaming going on in the cryptoworld.

I use my name because if I do it under another name, people aren't able to recognize my perspective changing with the evidence.  I used to post on this forum under another name and had just as much credibility, switching to my real name just added the liability that people who disagree with me now also dislike me because of that disagreement.

It's much easier to be quietly influential behind the scenes, posting under my own name is a CYA.     

But lets play out your logic, what power has my name given me on these forums besides not being dismissed out of hand as a troll?  I'm really curious what my name is getting me besides being on the record about my complaints.  Has anything changed?  Did anyone listen to me about anything?   Were my concerns addressed? 

Nope.

Actually, Adam, your name had enormous influence with us.  But more so, we viewed you as a good friend with a global perspective who we would love to have agreed with more.  So your combined public and private reputation with us made us look for every conceivable way to use your ideas.  Even to the point of happily letting you win all the ties.

In the end, we simply disagreed, and we tried to explain in this forum our rationale for not implementing some of your recommendations.  The record is clear to anyone who cares to review the threads.  Every one of your concerns was carefully considered and responded to (repeatedly) with great respect. 

This is what we mean by "addressing your concerns".  It does not mean "accepting every recommendation."

Your views may well be wiser and more valid than ours, but in the end, Dan has to be true to his own judgement and vision, wherever it may lead.  People who share that vision stick around and help him to achieve it.  People with other visions move on and hopefully find a group they can support.

That's how it should be, no?

In my opinion , the guy who made the mistake , dont have a choice . It has already been donated. That is one feature crypto wallets do not have. What is done is done. Nothing else. I feel sorry for those investor who donated at the wrong time. Their shares have been diluted by this unexpected (maybe stupid) circumstances. Oh man. Pathetic.

You most definitely do get special treatment.  How can you not be aware of your status as the #1 media guy in this cryptocurrency world ?  If you're not #1, then give me a list of people ? :)

Honestly, I feel like I am "trolling" you too hard and that it might make you unduly negative towards Bitshares.  *That* is how highly I think of your influence even if I am not a regular podcast listenin' dude.

If you dropped 1k PTS accidentally on an AGS donation and are a sharp guy, then you are far more wealthy than me.  I don't even understand the timing of why you'd be donating 1k on a certain day without being very well off.

You must have a lot of crypto-equity.  I am jealous. :(

Except that mainstream everyday people don't want to lose their life savings over a typo.  It is a double edged sword, the finality of everyday financial transactions.

Can you imagine the level of scams towards elderly if all that was required is a simple typo/misclick to rob them of their entire life savings ?  Sick.

I wish you'd listened more on things like "don't post topics that say GET YOUR BITSHARESX WALLET HERE when it's not at all available" than things like "talk to that guy for marketing".   I wish you had listened more on things like "Don't lock yourself into 100% of Bitshares being allocated, just allocated 10% to PTS and 10% to AGS and leave the remaining 80% flexible" and less on things like "speak on this panel i'm organizing about new ideas".

You guys have made bad decisions and continue to do so, at some point you'll have to launch and then we'll see what got produced with all those pivots and rejiggerings.  Will it be worth the wait?  No idea.  Is it what I signed on for, or what Daniel sold to my listeners?  Nope.

  I have huge hope for the project but have lost my faith in the core team at invictus to deliver because every self imposed deadline has been blown, and yet the decision making structure that has failed to perform so far is more entrenched than ever and acting in its own self defense.  Is this what the decentralized revolution looks like?

Yup it's pathetically sick.Like a stomach turning upside down. But before sending assets, isn't it there is a confirmation window? How can the guy missed this?  Just feel really sorry. One mistake can cause others' investments go down.

What special treatment do I get?  Seriously, you have no idea what you're talking about.   People do not pay me for the work I do, I am a squeaky wheel on forums like these because I am a real investor in the space, just like everybody else. 

I am heavily in cryptoequity because I believe it is the future, which is why I also spend all my time learning, developing and talking about it - this should not be surprising. 

1k PTS is not a small amount, I just always understood the rules about no crying in baseball.  It was my mistake, at least I got some AGS for it even if I was competing against myself.

Adam, do you write code ?  I've tried a bit over the years to get it right but I still underestimate timeframes..  Complexity is not something you can easily estimate.  Without being a coder/programmer it is soooo hard to understand these things.  I wish I knew the right book to reference ...

Dan may have oversold his idealism at times but there is a  100% chance there is going to be neat stuff coming out of this.

Dan tried his best being a salesman.  To me - he only offered potentials.  Yes, I agree he oversold at times, but I believe his intentions are pure and I believe him to be a legitimate actor in the cryptocurrency world.

Has Dan delivered?  Perhaps.  Perhaps not. 

However, please realize that this is about the most bleeding edge you can get..  Nothing in this world has the potential to be as disruptive at BTC 2.0 technologies. 

So if your motives are as pure as you claim, please go a bit easier on Bitshares.  Ask hard questions about implementation/exploits. Do this for all techs.

And come to think of it, this is a good form of marketing. Make some noise and Adam Levine has the media and conduits to let Bitshare products be heard .  Continue to challenge I3 for innovative programs such as DPOS and crypto equities that are being lined up.

The Outpouring of sentiment and willingness to assist this fellow is admirable and commendable. Whilst we endeavor to assemble our ideal trustless platforms, it appears many of us remember that empathy and willingness to trust are still (and will always be) central to our humanity. If I had made such a blunder, I would be grateful and humbled by this show of support. I believe that mr. bytemaster (and tonyk) have proposed a possibility that does not dishonor, dilute, or compromise the integrity of the social contract. An honorable action, if implemented.

Fear, uncertainty, and doubt will be cast and sewn, as it has been for time immemorial. I have discovered, however, that these three concepts (FU&D) actually serve a noble purpose, one that is indeed vital for our evolution and growth. What better way to uncover the hidden eddys and backcurrants of our own uncertainty? How should we sharpen the blade of our convictions but upon the the most well thought out arguments against our plans?

We all prefer different things, we all have different styles. We might discover that motives can be pure or impure, well thought or whimsical, firm or reactionary, etc., but we can never expect to truly comprehend the motivations of another human being. We often like to fool ourselves into believing we can.....

"But all this FUD is hurting our cause"

In some ways, it would be great if nothing ever pushed our buttons, right? But here in reality, can we honestly justify worrying about the effect someone's opinion might have on others? Can we not at least have faith that those others in the community - AKA ones whom we are learning to trust (ironically, by building trustless platforms together) -  possess their own level of integrity in their convictions and faith in the process of what we are trying to achieve together that they can transmute this elusive "FUD" in their own way?

We, with Invictus at the helm, have attracted a number of individuals who are brilliant at presenting masterful counter arguments to our strategies and plans for implementation. How is this anything but a great honor? if an idea is not truly revolutionary, would it attract such highly skilled dissent?

Guys, I know I haven't written much, but I am a long time observer and supporter. I purchased the Lions share of my personal AGS the week after the Feb. snapshot. I know potential when I see it. And it is openly apparent in all observable aspects of this operation. Keep it up. No doubt.

I do not claim to be a coder, I do not set timelines, I am a user and a prototypical one which should be more concerning.   Many times I suggested that Bitshares not set timeframes it might be unable to keep but it took many public instances of failure for that message to be driven home to the Bitshares team.

How should I be easier on Bitshares?  I am open to suggestions if you think that is best.

Why do you think there is a 100% chance of Daniel delivering?  I am very much concerned the way money was raised is going to cause major problems which would put a giant stop on the whole endeavor.

I'm saying timelines are very difficult.  Even when you understand the problem. We/they are still working at the solution for some of the most basic problems.  Dan has decided to move beyond POW.  I find that a positive goal yet I also wish it was instantaneous.

Dude, I said I'm scratching my own itch.  I don't claim to speak for anyone else, I said that a lot of people tend to agree with me because I'm not special just early.

Personally I think the Bitbro thing is really getting old, you seem obsessed with me why can't you just post about the topic at hand?

Eh, I don't mean to hurt your feelings as a person, but since the beginning I have seen the persona, the weight of it, its incongruous opinions, and the inflated sense of power and influence as a threat to the open nature of the forum and the progress of BitShares. Like you said, squeaky wheel.  I'd just rather be the wd40.

Adam is a smart guy.  I try not to be insulting, but I see him only attack what is currently my passion.  So I respond. 


That is exactly the problem.   Stop seeing what you want to be true and look at the situation as it is.

THis is fair, except I'm pretty sure you are too busy to be aware of my criticisms.  TBH, I am no entirely sure of your criticisms.  I heard about PTS and started collecting months ago.  I've only recently started to read specifically about approaches.  I am not so worried about my investment as seeing Dan make the right decision and give us a foundation to develop on that is second to none.

I do not claim to be a coder, I do not set timelines, I am a user and a prototypical one which should be more concerning.   Many times I suggested that Bitshares not set timeframes it might be unable to keep but it took many public instances of failure for that message to be driven home to the Bitshares team.

How should I be easier on Bitshares?  I am open to suggestions if you think that is best.

Why do you think there is a 100% chance of Daniel delivering?  I am very much concerned the way money was raised is going to cause major problems which would put a giant stop on the whole endeavor.

I'm saying timelines are very difficult.  Even when you understand the problem. We/they are still working at the solution for some of the most basic problems.  Dan has decided to move beyond POW.  I find that a positive goal yet I also wish it was instantaneous.

I said he will deliver on a NEAT product.  I have no evidence his tech will overtake the world, but a bit of gambler's faith.  It seems plausible, but to me it seems more interesting than anything.

I wish Daniel had focused on delivering Bitshares as envisioned and then created subsequent versions or products that incorporate these elements.  That is what I signed on for, not "whatever daniel larimer thinks is a good idea this week".    The delays have been because the focus and method has constantly pivoted to be "the best possible" when in reality not having launched the product we don't even know what is best and if these "improvements" are making things better or worse, since we've never had an opportunity to see a product to compare against.

You have faith in Daniel, the people who remain on these forums clearly do which is why it's an echo chamber and people with dissenting views find themselves shouted down by the people who are passionate about the bitshares vision instead of pragmatic about the reality.      I'm using these 2.0 products every day (projects on Mastercoin, Counterparty, I'm working with the NXT and Ethereum communities), this is not a hypothetical situation.   

Bitshares was in first, and now they're in last - Even Ethereum has highly functional test code out for interested parties to build contracts on, why are we reinventing the transaction processing wheel?   

Because Daniel decided mining is dead, and that's been the technological focus ever since.   Mining will eventually be phased out, but it should NEVER have replaced the core mission of delivering Bitshares, and it clearly did.

These conversations are frustrating because Invictus only responds on issues they're willing to respond on, and then they stop talking except to do damage control when they feel it is more damaging not to post.   If they were the only people on the forums that would be enough to shut me up because I wouldn't have anyone to talk to, but the echo-chamber always jumps in to defend invictus based on trust or belief, so then I wind up arguing fundamentals with people who do not care about the fundamentals.

it's very frustrating, but the reason it keeps happening is because Invictus simply does not want to address topics they're not willing to.

The problem is creating a blockchain then deciding to switch the consensus algorithm is UGLY.

Let me take a bit of liberty here, but you are valuing market dominance where I am patient for technological dominance which eventually leads to a strong market position.  I'm sure we could both sit here and argue the merits of both views ?

Dan is trying to make something that works and will not be overtaken.  That has upsides, but the downside is release date.

I don't disagree with your "pragmatic reality" nor do I believe I am "shouting it down".   I just see my investment as longterm or "binary".

I believe this tech will be around as long as the net.  I started the internet on SLIP and Gopher.. so I've seen a few changes.

To me the questions are more like... 'Does it make more sense to release a run of the mill POW currency or the next generation gold standard POS currency ?" 

Dan has opened himself to the market of ideas.  No doubt he has an ego, but he is publicly seeking the best solutions which is something I very very much respect given the suspected "binary" outcome.

Looking at the players on the field, I don't think Bitshares is even making a play for technological dominance.    They're focused on profitable businesses, but the irony is they're building the platform and shouldn't be concerned about profitable businesses.  People will build profitable businesses on top of what Invictus builds, which is why attracting an early entrepreneurial community was supposed to be really important.

the problem is you are arguing from belief, I can't help you with that because I'm arguing from what I see and the picture is bigger than Invictus.   How can I argue with your faith?  I can't, and even if I could you're not the person I wish I could influence.

I am a newb to this forum. What do they not respond to ? 

IMO, there are basically 2 areas.

1)technical aspects of product
2)investment aspects.

Dan has always responded to #1.  For #2, decisions are made and it really is not productive to rehash them.  If you think made decisions are that poor, then I suppose the solution is to go around and spread the word of these bad decisions.

However, instead of saying they lied!,  tell me what exactly they reneged on and why you think it is a bad decision.

Changing your mind over an agreement does automatically equate to being a malevolent entity.  I would much rather have someone making changes to optimize chances for success over someone who blindly follows what they thought to be best previously in some attempt to grab meager/temporary market share.

tonyk, they stop responding to you when you stop making sense. your arguments have often strayed from logic. as far as adams comment. he clearly believes in mining which is inherently antithetical to idea of dacs being profitable since there are alternatives that do not dilute share holder equity and do not have hardware cost. as an investor i signed up for the best blockchain consensus product and you do not get that with mining. this is indisputable and i will not argue it because i have looked at the economics of it. additionally tapos is still being implement with the trustee model in the test chain and there will be a hard for when implementing the dpos chain, and then consequently a launch of bts me, and then a launch of bts x and then a launch of subsequent dacs. how is that not the iterative processes that you adam is suggesting. there have been delays in production because the underlying consensus mechanism for the blockchain have been revised and made more efficient.

Wow there has been much discussion tonight.

I take exception to the idea that we selectively respond to issues.   I answer just about everything on these forums and of that there can be no doubt. 

If you feel that we don't respond to you concerns Adam it is almost always predictable that a major issue pops up while we are traveling. 

So lets focus on productive items rather than the past.  Lets move forward together rather than bicker like a stubborn married couple. 

We have some solid plans, our team is finally getting organized and we have a design that scales in a flexible  manner. 

Ags is what it is, a financial blessing and a regulatory challenge.  We should take every effort to move forward to secure the future we want for our families and society.   This means we must be careful. 

I am terribly flawed at many things. But what I am good at is getting to the first principles of ideas and inventing solutions. We all contribute what we can.   

I generally welcome open and uncensored posting.  But I think some rules of engagement in the discussion should be laid down and enforced.

We need to practice non-violent communication and teach others to use it.  If we can master that then our community will be stronger than ever.   We all get emotional at times. Lets work to listen to what is really beneath the complaints, attacks, insecurities and solve those problems.

Hey tonyk, brief response to those posts:

#1: it seems like all of your points depend on a scheme which is critically vulnerable to sybil attacks...

Quote
The solution I suggest is based on the following premises: 95% of all wallets are honest actors. Those are people that just download the standard wallet and start using it – making no modification to any aspect of the way such wallet is supposed to behave (among other things is not trying to gain the system).
Additionally the system by design makes the transactions with the oldest balance holders the most likely to be awarded the right to make a block. What this achieves is one of the most important features of this suggestion. – It strongly de–incentivizes cheating players! Who will make changes to the software and then wait to be having very old balance to have a chance at cheating?


#2... XT snapshot will not change, get over it. I've read 5-10 posts where Stan outlines all the reasoning for this decision in great detail and addresses a superset of the complaints you presented.


To be honest I am surprised and satisfied that these are the most valuable neglected posts you could find.

You are using a bit of a strawman here.  I have many of my own criticisms about I3/Bitshares.  Many which overlap your own.  I like Dan's approach, but I agree they are losing some key aspects.  However, I don't think those losing aspects are about "changing the rules".  Which is what I always hear from you.

I have no idea if Dan's approach is correct because he is still working on it.  Is that bad?  Not necessarily.

 I think you are right in a lot of ways.  Perhaps if I ever implement a DAC it won't be with Bitshares..   Options just continue to increase as time goes on.

I do feel like I have a stronger influence as a dev here, over other organizations.

If you have no interest in influencing me then why are you stating such?  I am not sure why you respond to me if thats the case...

IMO, your arguments are increasingly without direction.  I am not trying to be rude, but you say echo chamber, arguing from beliefs vs your "big picture", etc. I feel an ugly turn in this conversation, and it is not where I intended to go.   I wish I knew more about all the alternatives, but it takes time. 

Perhaps I should listen more to your podcast !?

GL with your shows and investments.  I am just a fanboy of Bitshares and irrelevant.

 gnight!

tonyk, they stop responding to you when you stop making sense. your arguments have often strayed from logic.
I
 know that my logic is hard to follow but it does not mean there is not one.  Said logic is also the correct one – I was accused of circular logic i.e. accusing 3i of achieving sharp increase in donations at one point and not getting all that they can get in the long run – I explained this (and can do it again for those willing to listen). I also accused 3i of not so much getting undeserved share of BTS X but pretending to offer 50/50 for BTS and AGS and using manipulations to gain advantage i.e. bigger share (provable by everyone who checks but left by no comment by BM)
As for Addam he might have an agenda but most of his post bare truth and wisdom. Although repetitively smashed by the ‘all knowing’, ’all trusting majority’, his post are indeed helpful, I might say needed for a healthy BisShares society. I do not know if he has pro-mining ones but the one I resently quated have nothing to do with it.

Post by: AdamBLevine on April 21, 2014, 06:08:33 am
sigh. 

I believe that mining would have served the purpose of enabling transactions in a reliable, proven way for Bitshares and that over time they could have moved to a Proof of Stake model if that is what is desirable.  They are doing this now with PTS so it's not like I'm inventing something that would never happen.

Daniel and I spoke extensively about a post-mining world in December, I am very much a proponant of this view - but I am also a pragmatic investor who supported a concept that did in fact involve mining and more importantly that would be distribution 90% of the total tokens through non-monetary means.  That is to say, people don't have to buy Bitshares to get bitshares, they just have to run their computer.  Remember this was also when the Invictus refrain was that Bitshares would be the coin EVERYBODY could mine and get vested in for just some of their time.

That was a whole three months ago so most people here have forgotten.   As I like to say, when you leave money on the table in an open source world you're inviting someone well suited to come along and build a business picking up that money - that 90% was important because it's the ultimate onboarding mechanism.  A taste for free, if they're believers the efficient thing to do is buy a bunch.

When Angelshares rolled out, I suggested it be 10% to match the 10% of PTS but rather than take a middle step, we went 100% to the other extreme.

It should also be noted we only launched Angelshares because Invictus didn't get many Protoshares, because they wanted EVERYTHING to be as fair as possible which meant not taking any of the tokens.   I suggested several times prior to launch taking 10-25% of the tokens since after all the Invictus company was the entity giving value to PTS.   They didn't want to do that because they were too extreme in the other direction, so Angelshares was an unfortunate 100% shift from TOTALLY INCLUSIVE to TOTALLY MONETARY.

This was sold as "a better deal" because it increased the share from 10% to 50% for PTS holders, but it's like 50% of a much much smaller pie.   My cries of "Don't change the deal" are attempts to explain this - When you make the deal better for ANY PARTY, you are making it worse for someone else.   When you take money that would otherwise be left on the table, you remove the opportunity for someone to build a business picking it up.   That's the Bitshares ecosystem in a nutshell, Invictus hoovered up all the money with Angelshares and now they're doing stuff we hope will work with zero accountability.

#1 Thanks that is finally an answer !!!
I do disagree with the assessment though: Even if one presents itself with multiple identities, then s(he) has to do what? Wait for 6-9 months, for the benefit of not including a transaction in the current block???

#2 The statement I expect from BM is :  1. Even though our decision to go with 02/28 snapshot resulted in increase of our shares by 50% this was not the purpose of choosing this early date. 2. The money generated allowed me to pursue bigger/better ideas in the long run, as well  as to think about  improving the product, instead of working hard coding to provide the promised (even inferior) product as fast as possible.

sigh. 

I believe that mining would have served the purpose of enabling transactions in a reliable, proven way for Bitshares and that over time they could have moved to a Proof of Stake model if that is what is desirable.  They are doing this now with PTS so it's not like I'm inventing something that would never happen.

Daniel and I spoke extensively about a post-mining world in December, I am very much a proponant of this view - but I am also a pragmatic investor who supported a concept that did in fact involve mining and more importantly that would be distribution 90% of the total tokens through non-monetary means.  That is to say, people don't have to buy Bitshares to get bitshares, they just have to run their computer.  Remember this was also when the Invictus refrain was that Bitshares would be the coin EVERYBODY could mine and get vested in for just some of their time.

I did not invest in bitshares when they proposed momentum mining algorithm. Even then I did not see value in mining. I think it is important to understand the big picture. Mining was supposed to be a means or distributing shares, however it is one that lends itself to centralization and the momentum algorithm could not prevent that. Instead I3 implemented the ags donation system allows for smaller investors to acquire more equity then they otherwise would have given mining. I understand why you would think mining ostensibly provides a fair distribution of shares, but it does not. Satoshi first conceived of pow as one-cpu one-vote consensus mechanism but it has since strayed from that vision

That was a whole three months ago so most people here have forgotten.   As I like to say, when you leave money on the table in an open source world you're inviting someone well suited to come along and build a business picking up that money - that 90% was important because it's the ultimate onboarding mechanism.  A taste for free, if they're believers the efficient thing to do is buy a bunch.

I would liken this approach to the viral marketing approach of the dot-com era. The mindset was to expand (or at least attempt to) the customer base as quickly as possible even if it meant producing large losses. Relying on mining to achieve this expansion of the community is a more costly approach than ags funding. When it comes down to it, the fundamentals just do not support mining

When Angelshares rolled out, I suggested it be 10% to match the 10% of PTS but rather than take a middle step, we went 100% to the other extreme.

This is better for the investors and promotes the community around DAC development. This helped you as an investor. I find it very hard to agree with your disappointment with it

It should also be noted we only launched Angelshares because Invictus didn't get many Protoshares, because they wanted EVERYTHING to be as fair as possible which meant not taking any of the tokens.   I suggested several times prior to launch taking 10-25% of the tokens since after all the Invictus company was the entity giving value to PTS.   They didn't want to do that because they were too extreme in the other direction, so Angelshares was an unfortunate 100% shift from TOTALLY INCLUSIVE to TOTALLY MONETARY.

How is pts totally inclusive? I can't mine any. I'd be better off purchasing them from an exchange. The notion that mining is inclusive is a fallacy

This was sold as "a better deal" because it increased the share from 10% to 50% for PTS holders, but it's like 50% of a much much smaller pie.

This just doesnt make sense. You get more shares of xts and those shares are never devalued. It is better in all respects. There is no down side

My cries of "Don't change the deal" are attempts to explain this - When you make the deal better for ANY PARTY, you are making it worse for someone else.

In this case it makes it worse for those that would disproportionately benefit from the inherent centralization of mining. So what if they fired the miners because a more efficient system can do there job better and less costly. Do you advocate reinstating ppl in positions that were made irrelevant by technological unemployment? No because that is not sound economics, and the free markets do not support it.

When you take money that would otherwise be left on the table, you remove the opportunity for someone to build a business picking it up.   

How is any money left on the table? When Dan launched pts he couldn't even accumulate enough to finance his own project so how could mining possible help build dac business more than ags. There is no money left on the table, only money left in the miners hands, and those individuals are focused on one thing mining, not development of dac businesses.

That's the Bitshares ecosystem in a nutshell, Invictus hoovered up all the money with Angelshares and now they're doing stuff we hope will work with zero accountability.

You're just not that convincing...

Thats like starting a car company, deciding that wheels are inefficient and we should be using hover-cars instead.  The founder of the company has a great idea to make hover-cars, so instead of making cars (as promised) they push towards the goal of hover-cars with blown deadlines as (gasp) turns out it's difficult to do something completely outside the box and everything is (gasp) untested.  Might have been easier to start with building cars with wheels, selling those and then developing the hover technology in the background so you've no pressure to release it until its ready.   

The analogy is quite apt because although mining may be obsolete and inefficient, it's still the best and most tested option we have available given our current needs. Hovering is much better than driving, but we're still driving.

Hmm interesting, thanks for the recap.  When I learned of Bitshares and I3 I think AGS was launched already (or it wasn't but was by the time I wrapped my head around what I3 was trying to do and how to invest in their plans).

Even if it feels to you like a total echo chamber on these forums at times, I hope you stick around and continue to voice your opinion on matters.  Reading through this thread I had no idea who "Adam B Levine" was but your complaints are well articulated and I think can bring out healthy discussion as I've learned a bit reading these last pages that I apparently missed over the last few months.

I'm a big fan of what I3 is doing here and in response to criticisms and problems I've appreciated the attitudes taken by BM, Stan and Toast.  I'm hopeful that the wait will materialize as a superior product(s) but am anxious to see something produced.

While I see the merits of Invictus pushing out a product sooner that can be forked later to a better consensus security mechanism, I also see why it would be attractive to work through the problems first to lay solid ground work for Bitshares X before releasing it to be used in the wild.

When you hear or read about "Bitcoin 2.0" technologies, Bitshares seem to rarely be mentioned in any appreciable ratio to Ethereum or Mastercoin or NXT.  As an investor of Bitshares this concerns me the same way it does for you, but I am hopeful that Dan's extra time spent will allow a truly unique and solid product to be release before too long.  A complete, working technology that can be marketed well without the confusion of coming future forks due it coming out half baked.

I don't think I had the same expectations you did when investing with I3, but can understand how the current state of affairs doesn't match with the original vision that was allegedly sold to you.

We will see how things turn out, I'm optimistic good things will happen soon, but I'm also diversified in my investments in case they don't.

No the analogy is not apt because it is hyperbole. In fact I think that mining is the hover car approach and bitshares consensus processes is like the wheel. The hover car is too costly and over complicates the product when it can be easily simplified. Everyone is so preoccupied with the hover car because it floats but they do not see how slow it moves when compared to a car with wheels. So to are people preoccupied with mining because it uses a mathmatical algorithm to distribute the "currency" instead of a central bank. Nevermind that is inflationary when people claim that is deflationary. Nevermind that it costly when there are system (nxt, ripple) that do not bear those cost. And never mind that those systems are all much more efficient transaction processors than btc.

Another reason why I say the dpos model is like the wheel is because we already use delegated governing system in the US. It is flawed because of the scope of the delegates responsibilities, but where it draws its strengths is its system of checks and balances and the decentralization of power. These are issues that we have already figured out for the purpose of optimally decentralized consensus. Mining is an over complicated reinvention of consensus technology.

I'm trying to promote this as a transitional solution. I think it's proven to work for Blackcoin.
This way we can all mine altcoins and receive Bitshares as the payout. The benefit of this is Bitshares wouldn't inflate.

Post by: luckybit on April 21, 2014, 08:28:04 am
I wish Daniel had focused on delivering Bitshares as envisioned and then created subsequent versions or products that incorporate these elements.  That is what I signed on for, not "whatever daniel larimer thinks is a good idea this week".    The delays have been because the focus and method has constantly pivoted to be "the best possible" when in reality not having launched the product we don't even know what is best and if these "improvements" are making things better or worse, since we've never had an opportunity to see a product to compare against.

You have faith in Daniel, the people who remain on these forums clearly do which is why it's an echo chamber and people with dissenting views find themselves shouted down by the people who are passionate about the bitshares vision instead of pragmatic about the reality.      I'm using these 2.0 products every day (projects on Mastercoin, Counterparty, I'm working with the NXT and Ethereum communities), this is not a hypothetical situation.   

Bitshares was in first, and now they're in last - Even Ethereum has highly functional test code out for interested parties to build contracts on, why are we reinventing the transaction processing wheel?   

Because Daniel decided mining is dead, and that's been the technological focus ever since.   Mining will eventually be phased out, but it should NEVER have replaced the core mission of delivering Bitshares, and it clearly did.

The problem is creating a blockchain then deciding to switch the consensus algorithm is UGLY.

Let me take a bit of liberty here, but you are valuing market dominance where I am patient for technological dominance which eventually leads to a strong market position.  I'm sure we could both sit here and argue the merits of both views ?

Dan is trying to make something that works and will not be overtaken.  That has upsides, but the downside is release date.

I don't disagree with your "pragmatic reality" nor do I believe I am "shouting it down".   I just see my investment as longterm or "binary".

I believe this tech will be around as long as the net.  I started the internet on SLIP and Gopher.. so I've seen a few changes.

To me the questions are more like... 'Does it make more sense to release a run of the mill POW currency or the next generation gold standard POS currency ?" 

Dan has opened himself to the market of ideas.  No doubt he has an ego, but he is publicly seeking the best solutions which is something I very very much respect given the suspected "binary" outcome.

This is an area where you and I continue to disagree. Technological dominance has not been proven to lead to market dominance. Marketing leads to market dominance. Bitcoin and Litecoin have market dominance without technological dominance.

Bitshares will have technological dominance but that could just mean it will be the most forked code on the scene. It doesn't mean it's going to result in a high market cap unless our community is the one doing the forking for other communities.

Bitshares has the potential to have a very large market cap only if it's very well marketed and actually used. Ultimately it's all about the community behind the technology which determines success or failure.

Adam has had great ideas and is a benefit to this community. We want someone like him to be a long time holder of Bitshares. But other communities are offering shares too so it's competitive. I hope Bitshares does have the best technology but more importantly it needs to attract and retain the best thinkers in the industry.

Right now I would say the Bitshares community is doing very well attracting talent but that process must be continual. Mastercoin is attracting talent too and could attract the talent away from the Bitshares community if they solve their political dispute with Bitcoin core devs.

The car analogy is good. Everyone else is trying  to build faster more efficient internal combustion engine but they are still relying on fossil fuels.  Dan and Bitshares are going full electric like Tesla motors. It takes longer and you have to build the infrastructure, but in the end you have a more efficient system.

Post by: bytemaster on April 21, 2014, 01:47:36 pm
What Adam is missing is that dealing with mining forks is not trivial and in the case of btsx has all kinds of market issues.   

So while mining has been proven for bitcoin style transactions it has not been proven for markets.   

So the argument isn't whether to use wheels or hover, there is only one way that can work securely.   

We need to eliminate forks. 

We need to solve attacks (intentional or not) like pts has had.   

We do not want centralization in the hands of cloud miners.   Market manipulation and double spends are much easier with mining where real trades occur on chain. 

So please do not trivialize the motivations for DPOS.

Developing something you know can be attacked just to see if it fails costs money & time.   To prevent attacks in a mining network we would have to freeze the proceeds of all trades for 120 blocks because trades cannot be migrated from a fork to the main chain.  Because they are performed by the 'miners' it has to follow the same restrictions as Bitcoin's mining rewards.

Adam, last night I was going at you a bit harshly.   Being relatively new around here, all I had seen from you were the posting of short comments that appeared very troll-like to me.  Worse, it seemed like a troll with a lot of clout. I believe when a guy loses ~30k USD on a typo, it might very well be a bit of a life ruining experience.  I thought it was the right thing for I3 to help the guy out.  It seemed apparent Ebit wasn't trying to scam anything to me.  Although now I understand your point  better, yesterday it was a bit different.  I found your comments on Ebit's situation troll-like.

However, your last message last night was quite thoughtful and explained to me your context within Bitshares.  It is appreciated.  I am with you about keeping a fire lit under Dan's feet and want to hear more thoughtful critiques.
 
Anyway, I'm going to start listening to your show regularly to help keep up with the varied technologies we are both fans of.  Your last post last night sold me.

edit - Also, I'd ask that you please stick around and continue with productive critiques.  You have varied knowledge of the bitcoin 2.0 playing field.  Likely as much anyone around here.  So please continue to post critiques of bad approaches/ideas.

But is mining getting rid of the need to have money to buy in? If mining would give it al the the average guy I would be all for mining. But in the end mining gives the coins just to those that can afford mining equipement that is efficient enough to be run economically. In the end miners are professionals that invest in equipment that bring coins into existence and then sell those coins for a price above electricity costs. If you can not afford this mining equipment you have to buy the coins from the professional miners for the market value of there was no mining + the electricity costs of the miner + a small margin. In the end you can not avoid to distribute the coins based on peoples buying power (money) but making an IPO in addition gives you capital so you can speed up the development process (I am sure dev. would be far back if it would be just Dan coding) and promote the idea to get a wider supporter base....

On the meta discussion part: I think we should appreciate the variety of perspectives and use it as a competitive advantage.  Apart from the trade of character of any decision there also is a trade of between the ways decisions are made.

I have confirmed Trog's numbers to within 1 PTS and since there have been no objections for 24 hours, I will request issuing of these refunds tomorrow.

Since no one has demanded a penalty, no penalty will be requested.  The hours it will take to implement this will be written off to the "treat others as you would like to be treated" account.

Average donation for the previous 10 days was 1203, and the total for the 20th was 6971.  Here are the donations, and the refund amounts necessary to scale everyone's AGS ratio to the 10 day average.  The remaining decision is the appropriate penalty/reduction for ebit's refund.

Exciting!
I will donate seriously in the future.
I learned the DAC  society/community's property is human nature not is robot nature.
According to this way of thinking
In the future,robot has no chance to rule human.

HOW ABOUT

A section of the forum for critique?

It would allow I3 to quickly gain overview of the biggest issues that the community feels need to be addressed, and a place for everyone to discuss them.

It would also prevent people from spreading, or feeling like they are spreading, "FUD" into every nook and cranny of the forum.

ebit,
Did you sent 'thank you' PTS to some addresses or it was a mistake too?
If not a mistake  - I do not know if you are sending them to those that tried to help to resolve the issue or those slammed by the extra-large donation (as I believe I qualify for both)
But in either case -  Thank you!!

I'm confused again (it happens a lot).

I received the refund, thanks!

However, I'm confused as to whether I actually have the AGS the AGSExplorer now shows my address controls, despite the refund.

When I check the balance for my address, it shows the same amount of AGS as it did before the refund. Is this correct or otherwise?

 ???

Probably you donate from different address, in BitShares-PTS client you can type in Help->Debug Windows->Console the command:
Code: [Select]
getagsbalance *
You will see detailed output for all your AGS balances per PTS address.

The amount of AGS you have should not change, no need to update agsexplorer to reflect anything.    We did not change the rules. 

I repeat: no changes to agsexplorer should be made.

Could the Marketing guys make up some nice article about this!? This kind of PR might introduce others to take a look into our community!?

good idea

Quote from: stan
treat others as you would like to be treated"
