BitShares 2.0 Dedicated Articles
This is a list of articles that are part of "the June announcement" (more to come):
Each link below will lead you to a dedicated discussion thread for the corresponding technology.
- Announcing BitShares 2.0 (http://bitshares.github.io/blog/2015/06/08/announcing-bitshares-2.0/)
The BitShares development team is proud to make their biggest announcement since launching one year ago: the upgrade to BitShares 2.0.
- Migrating to BitShares 2.0 (http://bitshares.github.io/blog/2015/06/08/migrating-to-bitshares-2.0/)
Upgrading to BitShares 2.0 will require some network downtime. On an appointed date/time, a snapshot will be taken of all BitShares balances in all asset types. The new chain will then launch within 24 hrs of the snapshot that discards all transaction history. This snapshot will not be announced until we are 100% confident that the migration can occur in a timely manner.
- Community Questions for the Development Team (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16781.0.html#msg214551)
Prior to the announcement, the BitShares community was asked (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,16382.0/all.html) to collect a set of their concerns that they would like answered together with the announcement.
- Lessons Learned from BitShares 0.x (http://bitshares.github.io/blog/2015/06/08/lessons-learned-from-bitshares-0.x/)
There are many reasons for starting over from scratch and producing a new toolkit and this article hopes to shed some light on what we learned from BitShares 1.0 and the many advancements that BitShares 2.0 allows.
- Measuring Performance - Throughput and Latency (http://bitshares.github.io/blog/2015/06/08/measuring-performance/)
Great claims require great evidence and the claim that BitShares is capable of 100,000 transactions per second has probably raised a few eyebrows. This post should help clarify how we measure performance. It should be noted that we are talking about the capability of an individual computer which is the ultimate bottleneck and *not* the current P2P network.
