This will be so awsome, i feel like a big rock is finally of my back. It's so great!
Agreed. So many folks have been complaining that the captain of the ship keeps getting sidetracked and then never finishes a feature to shareholders expectations. So, I think the friday mumbles could now be moderated by the Beyond Bitcoin team but the guests can be those who want to talk about their projects. No more perception of a top-down structure (i have even seen Bitshares referred to as central banking 2.0).
I had a nice conversation with BM, Stan, Onceupon and Thom yesterday on mumble after the official mumble. We have a very solid plan to move Bitshares forward. Blinded transactions, recurring and scheduled payments, bond market, liquidity bots and market makers, margin trading, free transactions, Smartcoins POS integrations, a 2nd mobile wallet app for iOS and android (all native and material design), skin-able specific use-case wallets, Marketing... There are lots of things being started, worked on and finished up as we speak.
BitShares Munich will be expanding over the coming days. BM has been so far, and confirms that he will continue to consult with us in assisting our expansion, getting more Devs up to speed on graphene, direction with the different repos and docs, etc. We have roughly 40 Devs (c++, js, python and ui/x etc) that can work with us on various projects (as you guys know I have been in software and outsourcing for over 24 years now). Roughly 7 of those 40 are employed with us full-time and as more investment comes in we can slowly expand further. I would like all of the existing projects above finished/polished first and make them awesome.
Thanks Ken... For what it is worth, I'm very happy with the past and the present. These are startups, so I keep learning to enjoy the ride..
I recognize that blockchains like BitShares are the right thing to do so I continue to upgrade my personal finances to use this new technology and invest in new businesses that show they can be sustained long term. There is very little I can do to gage adoption or even to put a financial price tag on this. Isn't user adoption something like cash, will you ever have enough? If one can have passion and do well user adoption is free... The incentive is more excitement in the way of future opportunity.
These are real business and we have an awesome exchange on BitShares. It is fast, high-volume, secure, decentralized and efficient. I hear of very clever workarounds to the speed issues in blockchains and, although I would implement them if I were in their shoes (to keep things going), I would always know very well that as a developer they are cracks in a foundation. One little hack in the core can take down a platform in unforeseen ways. DL understand this well so this gives me confidence in his work. I know this part of the platform should not change frequently and does not require his constant attention. The less frequent the better. This is great news for us, we have property now that will keep giving us value at little or no cost at all. This is why we put forth all the time and effort up front to create things that will last. You don't want to change them latter. Also, for this reason it is completely normal to move to other modules, projects, chains, etc... None of this raises a red flag for me. Software is complex, you need to move to another area so you have freedom and can't break any code. Fighting this is like fighting the rip currents, the key is to go with the flow and gently move in the direction you need to go...
This is what I was after, I wanted to see this become a reality. The market experiments are a lot of fun to use and watch, these are important tools for very serious investors. This is exactly what we need, if we are going to be home for major investors and even the average person's retirement portfolio. This is a huge step up for the average joe. Also, for this to be viable we needed web and mobile clients. We pulled it off. The major pieces are here... Best of all the community owns it in full so this sets the stage for a honest future where it is greed and monopoly resistant.
This is another asset for the BitShares exchange. Keep them coming
