Title: BlockTrades offering ~10,000 brownie.pts per day for the next 2 weeks!
Post by: dannotestein on September 04, 2015, 06:23:55 pm
As a promotional offering, BlockTrades will be selling roughly 10K brownie.pts per day for the next two weeks as we approach towards the launch date for BitShares 2.0. The brownie.pts can be purchased with either BTS or BTC. We have a strictly limited supply, so we strongly recommend you keep your purchase to the suggested deposit limit shown on the page.

Can understand BTC -> Brownie, but can't you do BTS -> Brownie on chain? Though I guess until 2.0 traversing the order book properly will retain a certain skill!

Yes, we could have placed asks on the distributed exchange to sell them as BTS, but that does "lock them up", so they wouldn't be available to BTC buyers at the same time, and we have a fairly limited supply. By selling them thru BlockTrades, we're open to purchasers with any currency we've provided a pairing for.

More importantly, this is really more of a promotional offering to attract people to make a purchase through our site,  rather than a desire to sell the brownie points. Naturally, we could have just offered to sell them to BTC holders, but we didn't think this would be fair to BTS holders.

What do you think about the price? Quite pricey mh?
Is the rule 'bts from my cold dead claw' valid here or should I buy a few for fun?

I'm not wild about Brownies, but I just want to thank Dan Notestein and everyone else who has worked on BlockTrades. I have used it to make other trades. It is a fabulous gateway service for this community and beyond. We should be very thankful to you guys for creating/maintaining it.

I bought 3.8 brownies. Perfect experience, the only thing is that you still use the robohash, but that was nostalgic.

Thanks for your kind words, guys, it's always nice to be appreciated. We mostly keep our heads down in the code, so I've passed on your comments to the other guys here.

We're sitting here trying to figure out why us giving away Brownie Points when they came out was bad, but others selling 10,000 blocks for profit later is not.  Where's teh outcry nowz!

There's a meme in this somewhere. Maybe after I wake up a bit more I'll figure it out. ;)
