Title: Seems like now would be the perfect time for Bitshares to "make nice"
Post by: VoR0220 on July 26, 2015, 08:10:14 pm
With Ethereum about to launch in about two weeks, I think it would be smart of someone to make a UIA that would be a pegged derivative to Ether. It's bound to trade in high volumes and would allow us to exhibit the greatness that is Bitshares in being a truly decentralized exchange (and the better one than Ethereum i might add).

We could use it as the perfect way to advertise using our decentralized exchange!  :)

 +5% Great idea. Getting delegates to publish feeds in under two weeks will be difficult though.

1) write some Howto trade bitBTC <-> bitETH
2) construct gateways (@monsterer)
3) advertise bitETH!

Do not attempt 3) unless we have 1) and 2)!

I posted on their forum ages ago asking for advice on integrating ETH but never received a response. I'll have to chase it...

Why on earth would you use IOUs when ETH is a perfect candidate for a bitasset?
Just need to find someone to pay the asset fee..

An MPA makes sense once ETH is trading and can have feeds. I do not count that rando's ETH IOU as an accurate feed. A UIA raises unnecessary trust issues and really is the wrong tool for the job. The goal is transaction volume not fund raising.

Great idea must be done somehow

Is the MIA Eth something where we could have people split the cost of registering and when 2.0 comes out effectively have the ownership/control allocated based on contribution/investment. Could be a chance to showcase dynamic account permissions...

Exactly.  What's the asset fee currently?  If necessary, we could do a donation to publicly raise the cost of the fee.

Fundraiser?

Someone should create an asset on Qora to raise funds so BitShares can make ETH a bitAsset.  ;)

Since it's a shortname asset, it'll be 500k BTS to register, so most likely it'll never happen :(

not sure that's true for MPA .. even if it was .. there is still ETHER and ETHEREUM
