I don't think bytemaster ever recommended to have 17 witnesses. He threw that number as acceptable after seeing how few people are participating in the testing phase. It was damage control - at least that's my understanding of the situation.

If you need more diversity you may add my witness :
(get_witness emski
{
  "id": "1.6.36",
  "witness_account": "1.2.5568",

What I offer is acceptable performance, acceptable response rate (updates), sufficient hardware & bandwidth (at least for now), seed node (not sure why it wasn't included in default seed nodes) . Reference for this statement are my delegates record from bitshares 1.0 .

Post by: Thom on October 20, 2015, 02:40:31 pm
@fav, I think you should modify your OP to include the "witness settings" you expect witnesses to follow.

If I show up on your "24 hour unvote warning" I'd like to have a clue what caused it.

It also helps non-witnesses so they know the criteria you use for inclusion / exclusion.

I expect as time goes on the witnesses will converge on the "right" parameters their nodes should operate under. Your efforts are great at getting us there. +5%

There will be other, deeper levels of operation that will be refined as time goes by, like when we get the backbone system implemented (calling @wackou) and higher degrees of failover support, statistics monitoring and the like in place. We should be encouraging and not too quick to "oust" a witness for their adoption / implementation of new agreed upon "settings". That agreement is not a formal process but rather informal as witnesses communicate and get up to speed on whatever the "new" thingy is.

All in all I think things are progressing fairly well. Getting parameters like the "short squeeze" setting moved up to a more appropriate level of decision makers so as to keep the role of witnesses non-political won't happen quickly, so IMO that particular setting should not be a criteria for inclusion or exclusion.

Minimizing response time to missed blocks and alerts is very important IMO but one or two instances aren't enough data to decide the quality of a witness' service; that is a metric which gets better as more samples are taken.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts I had. Hopefully they're helpful.

I don't understand fav. The commands in spartako's bot don't list parameters (witness settings). Here are the list of commands:

/help
/price
/missed
/monitor
/stopmonitor
/listmonitor
/status
/feed
/slots
/setslot
/rmslot

These control the bot and the info you get from it, they say nothing about such things as "short squeeze" setting.

Not only that, but you didn't address the point about having those settings / criteria made public so everyone will know what specific criteria YOU are basing your votes on.

I'll still be kicking about if the need arises but there seems to be no shortage of high quality witness candidates that are willing and able to do what is required of the position  +5% .

Sorry to see you leave that role Riverhead. Was kindof hoping to see you move up the food chain into a committee member slot.

Wish you all the best in your future endeavors!  :)

Thanks Thom. This is a long road and the journey has just begun. I have a Bitshares related project starting up that I hope will add more value to the ecosystem than my witness.

@fav, as a proxy and committee member, I'd appreciate feedback on my worker proposal for a debian based PPA (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19485.0.html). This isn't just for me, but also as a template as what proxies (such as your yourself) expect from worker proposals. Even if you don't like it, reasons as to why or what you would need to approve one would be helpful to the community. I'd like to vote for you for proxy, but that would kill the only votes for the PPA ;-)

currently evaluating this proposal: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19890.0.html

I will most likely vote against it, if I there's no satisfying answer to:

Quote
ecause this is a matter of appearance, transfer fees will be adjusted to be paid by the receiver of the funds, rather than the sender.

so someone can flood some 0.1 BTS txs and I have to pay whatever fee is currently setup? how can I refuse transactions as a receiver?

and

and what is the incentive for a regular user to go lifetime?
Title: Re: Proxy: fav - Journal
Post by: fav on November 10, 2015, 05:57:28 pm
1 question answered:

The proposal reads specifically:

Quote
Because this is a matter of appearance, transfer fees will be adjusted to be paid by the receiver of the funds, rather than the sender.

This would indicate the sender pays nothing and the receiver pays the fee. The discount is for RECEIVING transactions then, not SENDING transactions, if I may interpret that.

This is PURELY a cosmetic change.  The minimum transfer would be fee + 1 satoshi and the merchant would only see a gain of 1 satoshi.  From the user's perspective they paid the merchant $0.20, but the merchant only pocketed $0.01.  In no case can one user drain funds from another by spamming.

1 still open.

Title: Re: Proxy: fav - Journal
Post by: fav on November 22, 2015, 09:21:58 am
Took some time to think about open worker proposals, came to a conclusion today.

1. I will vote for https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20144.0.html (github coordinator)

We can talk all we want, but at the end of the day CNX needs external help. 1.5k over 3months is still a hit to our budget at the moment, I agree.

In the end, I think we all profit from a coordinated github which leads to faster bugfixes, and less stress for our codemonkeys.

2. I won't vote for https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20104.0.html (Stealth TX)

I think privacy is valuable and very much needed, but there are more important things to get bitshares rolling in my opinion. eg. bond market

in light of the current power abuse of the current committee due to  a non-issue (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20356.0.html) I left the private committee group and told them they lost my support.

bhuz, mindphlux and bitcube are the only people representing us stakeholders in the committee in my opinion.

(puppy don't know, he did not participate in the current fiasco at alll)

further actions to be discussed.

Settlement was disabled on a rushed decision by the committtee because Transwiser (bitcrab) stated, that transwiser is facing monetary losses.

We learned later, that they never lost a single cent prior to the disabling, and it was communicated as a "miscommunication" (some call it lying).

further, there were some people aggressively trying to push their own agenda, probably to please their whale voters.

that's the short version, and why I told the former committee they lost my support.

The only people aggressively trying to push their own agenda were the ones that was pretty upset only because they could not expoit the bitCNY market meanwhile the settle was temporary disabled.
(eg. JonnyBitcoin posts are pretty clear about this)

I really embolden @fuzzy to take the time to read the whole post and make his mind out of it.
I am pretty confident that he will more than able to see the Committee decision as a way to protect Bitshares DAC and its community as a whole.

I actually interpreted the situation in the opposite way. By changing the rules, people exploited JonnyBitcoin because he was the only one that was correctly following the rules. When some didn't like that he was following the well publicized rules to which everyone agreed, they changed the rules to favor themselves. It sounds like those that changed the rules exploited the system.

[Even if that is not true, that is how it appears interpreted to an outsider]

Exchanges should never do that. In this case, it is relatively minor and early on, but a lesson that must be learned by the system. You set the rules, you enforce the rules, and rules do not change unless there is significant advanced warning. Especially in cases like this, where there actually was nothing wrong with the market/settle/blockchain system.

Absolutely not.

The committee's posts are pretty clear about what the situation and the reasons for temp disabling the function were.

Your interpretation does not really make sense. People exploited JohnnyBitcoin, really!? How so? Did JohnnyBitcoin lose anything?

Please do not turn around facts.

You are free to not believe in what the committee have done, for whatever strange reason you could have. But twist facts like this is really unbelievable.

The market was working with an inaccurate feed.
The settlement function relies on an accurate feed to determine the price of the settle.

So, there was indeed something not working as it should.

Here is a link to a thread I think is worth talking about.  Espcially interested in what fav was talking about with committee members using their positions to help themselves as opposed to bitshares.  I am listening and hoping someone can update me and potentially provide me with some detailed evidence (if possible).

So this could be why none of the committee members have gotten back to me about our committee townhalls...
Perhaps they dont want real transparency, or for the community to give them realtime feedback. 

can you tell me off the top of your head who are the current committee members?

This issue is very confusing, and the quoted post above is a good example of why.

In a nutshell, fav withdrew his support of the committee, yet says bhuz et al are the only ones on the committee doing right by shareholders, and bhuz is the most vocal here in his defense of this committee decision. That is contradictory, or at the very least confusing.

Bhuz chastised maqifrnswa who was basically trying to say "stick to the rules, and stop changing them without advance notice", which sentiment I strongly agree with. Moreover, no evidence to ANY of the claims summarized in this thread have been presented here, either the evidence of the original "emergency" bitcrab et al was raising OR why changing the settlement rules without notice was the only reasonable course of action by the committee.

It sounds like the root of the emergency is inaccurate CNY price feeds. Most of that discussion was held on the private Telegram witness channel NOT this forum as it should have been. I responded to an alert complaining my price feed was "way off". Upon investigation it came to light that "way off" was only 2.5%, so I decided to continue with my existing feed delivery method for now.

I have suggested before that feeds be handled separately from witness operations. This controversy is a good reason why.

Witnesses primary role is securing the network. Feeds have little to do with security. Witnesses need to have a high level of technical knowledge, feed producers do not. Feed producers need to have a good understanding of economics and statistical analysis, witnesses do not.

Unless I'm mistaken, there are only 2 feed scripts in use among the 27 witnesses: xeroc's and wackou's. This "emergency" issue would never have risen to the involvement of the committee if dedicated feed producers were in place, as they would have had an incentive to make sure their feeds are accurate or loose that incentive. That incentive would also stimulate the creative freedom to provide far more variety in feed sources and algorithms aimed at delivering the most accurate feeds, and making adjustments when necessary. Look how long it took for the CNY feeds to become an issue after launch. If this was an issue on October nobody noticed it or brought attention to it.

IMO this represents an epic fail concerning community governance, which was not helped by the manor of communication  (timeliness, chosen media, clarity of thought and disorganized).

Please do not turn around facts.

You are free to not believe in what the committee have done, for whatever strange reason you could have. But twist facts like this is really unbelievable.

I have no problems with the committee stepping in to slow things down until they are better understood in this case. I just want you to be aware of how this is perceived by non-bitshares experts (outsiders). The committee can post all they want, and have noble goals, but in the end they have to realize they are weighing pros and cons. Very few decisions don't benefit one group and hurt another. I'd like to see the committee acknowledge that they were aware of the consequences but thought they were justified.

The facts point to JonnyBitcoin being exploited. In the end, exploiting him is probably worth it as his loss was minimal to ensure everyone was on the same page and feeds were made more accurate, but nonetheless something that should be taken seriously.

Facts:
1) The BitShares blockchain was working perfectly as designed. There was no flaw in the blockchain/DEX.
2) JonnyBitcoin was using the system perfectly as designed and profiting from performing an important network roll (supply control arbitrage)
3) Due to a misunderstanding of how the system works, what price feeds do, and how price feeds should be reported, some thought there was a flaw in the system.
4) The system was changed temporarily so people could figure out how they should have been behaving all along, but weren't because of a misunderstanding.

How JonnyBitcoin got hurt:
He was going long on assets he thought were overvalued so that he could settle them for a profit. By turning off forced settling, he and other settlers were stuck with things they already knew were overvalued. In the time it took for settling to be turned back on, the market had already corrected itself and Jonny lost the profit he would have made along with losing value in assets he didn't want to begin with.

Companies have gotten sued for less.

The committee made the decision to hurt one person (or a few people) in exchange for slowing down that system so larger, more important, organizations could readjust and feed scripts could be fixed. As we're starting off, that's probably the right decision - but it should not be taken lightly.


EDIT:
Quote
The market was working with an inaccurate feed.
The settlement function relies on an accurate feed to determine the price of the settle.

So, there was indeed something not working as it should.

Feeds are absolute, there is no such thing as an inaccurate feed. All business models and decisions must be based on the feed. Some community members did not like the source of data for the feeds, or how they were calculated. The "accuracy" of the feed must be priced into the value of bitshares. Inaccurate feeds do not mean the system is not working, it just means you need more tolerance for error and thus decreases the value of the system. Increasing accuracy was great, and increased the value of the feeds themselves, but does not mean the system was not working when the feeds were inacuate.

I've just seen this thread with this debate in progress, so I'd figure I should write down my side regarding this fiasco

1) We, the committee members at the time, were approached by transwiser (led by bitcrab) that the new settle button in the frontend is causing transwiser to loose money, people are actively exploiting it and have already suffered losses
2) The suggestion from bitcrab at the time was to disable the feature permanently
3) After further discussion, a compromise was reached - turn if off for one week, and allow the witnesses to adjust the price feeds for the CNY market, there was really a 2% gap there.

So far so good.

Before casting my vote, I specifically asked if transwiser is indeed ALREADY loosing money on this issue, and I was told that this was the case. This was the sole reason why I was voting for this proposal in the first place.

After the vote has passed, I asked bitcrab again in the committee channel if money was indeed lost or not - answer was that transwiser lost no money, and the action was needed to protect CNY shorters from the 'evil' settlers

Later on, this was blamed on miscommunication between chinese language and english language, but personally I felt misled and also feel like I was fed wrong information and this whole episode feels cheated, one could also call it power abuse. The fact alone that bitcrab is acting as committee member and submitted a proposal that deals with his company has a bad aftertaste.

As a result, I came up with the idea to create a common set of committee guidelines how a proposal is submitted, to make sure such misleading cannot happen again.

Post by: bitcrab on December 15, 2015, 05:03:38 am
I have explained the whole process as quoted below.

the point is, ATM the system is not ready enough to welcome the force settlement feature, what the committee did is to delay the time for the force settlement going public and at the same time make the system ready.


the "SQP1500" event is really a big shame for Bitshares. it has very bad influence to Bitshares' reputation, it put a big doubt on how bitshares can do good change management and protect user's benefits from being hurt. every developer, committee member,  witness  should remember this event and try to prevent similar things from happening in the future.

in the past several days, committee did some change to the blockchain parameters, the route is disable force settlement ->upgrade price feed scripts->change max settle volume of from 20% to 2% ->enable force settlement. the former 2 are finished, the latter 2 will take affect in several hours.

actually it's not easy to do all this, many debates happened in the process, but finally the result is satisfactory, I am proud that the committee can finish this as a whole.

now let's review what happened and why they should happen.

force settlement is a new feature of bts2.0, it is announced in the documents several months ago,  however many users, including me, recognize what this feature bring only after the settle button appear in latest light wallet.

force settlement is a powerful tool, it can bring price floor to smartcoin, it can also be used by speculators to manipulate the market, so while introducing this feature, it is very important to config the environment carefully to try to prevent it from being abused, and protect the user's benefits.

but even 2 days ago, 2 things are not ready to welcome the force settlement.

1. for BitCNY, the settlement price provided by witness is always obvious lower than the actual price.
2.the max settle volume parameter is wrongly set to 20%, according to the design it should be set to 2%.

these 2 factors give speculators big chance to manipulate the market, and expose the shorters to big risks. when several days ago I tried my best to persuade committee members to disable the force settlement temporarily I am only aware of factor 1, not aware of factor 2.

committee finally agree to disable the force settlement temporarily with unwillingness from some members, and then the work to upgrade the feed price script began, I'd like to say thanks for all the members that participated the new script coding and test, yesterday  the new script work well.

and then the 20% max settle volume problem come to committee's vision, after some debate and response from BM, 2 proposals are created to change the 20% to 2% and enable the force settlement at almost the same time.

in the whole process I behaved rude and tough now and then, I apologize here if I had hurt someone's feeling,  but I don't regret to what I have done, In many cases the only thing I focus is to ensure what should be done really be done, nothing else.

many said all I did is for my own benefits, sure, if the system introduce risk features without well prepared environment and put all shorters to big risk, shouldn't I fight for them, including myself?

someone tell me that I over evaluate the risk, but, from a perspective of a financial system, the key point is to kill the possibility of easy market manipulation at design, this is relevant to many users' assets, not kids' game.

someone said I help shorters but hurt longers, surely shorters need more care, because in Bitshares only shorters face the risk of being margin called or force settled, and have big possibility to be exploited. there's no leverage tradings designed for longers and longers have no such risks to bear. I really helped shorters, but I haven't hurt longers, at most I removed their chance to exploit shorters.

I am glad to see a user wrote this after knowing what had happened:

I missed that post from bytemaster.  And cryptofresh doesn't seem to indicate who created the proposal.  It would have been nice for committee members to be explicit about this as their rationale for quickly voting the 20%-->2% change, otherwise it looks to stakeholders like you're not being deliberate enough, especially after the previous controversial proposal that was voted through.  Anyway, it looks like things are falling into place.  Thanks.

Breaking down on @xeroc 's worker proposal https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,20681.0.html

Quote
Lots of Documentation (e.g. docs.bitshares.eu), Whitepapers, BSIPs,
General Technical Support for BitShares (e.g. in the forums), and
Some improvements in the Graphene-UI (by far not as many as @svk though)

Very valuable work. If there's a decent ticket/support system implemented to Bitshares.org/OL and other "official" websites, I'd consider $1k per month as reasonable. Bitshares is rather small, so support hours should not go up the roof anytime soon.

Development of a Python library

answer:

could you please elaborate on "Development of a Python library," ?
https://github.com/xeroc/python-grapehenlib
I plan to add transaction construction and signing to it as I had it already in the previous network.
But as the underlying wire format changed, I need to rewrite alot of code and add alot of different transaction types (i.e. operations).
Then we could have a simple python tool for instance for offline-signing of transactions .. not just the Javascript and C++ implementation

Also the development of price feed scripts and other tools for witnesses take their time.
Another idea I have is to do some statistical analysis over block chain parameters .. e.g. for committee members ..

ignoring the price feed here, as I consider it very valuable until we got a professional provider.

as for TX signing (offline TX mentioned earlier in the thread) - I'm not sure what to think of it. Offline Signing is probably a 2 out of 10 on the priority list in my opinion.
Waiting for more information on that one, since it stands for, according to my calculation, $2.2k.

Until this is clarified, I will stay neutral on the proposal.

the refund worker is used to set a lower threashold for the required approval to get any funding as a worker ..

Workers are paid from the top worker down until either the daily available funds have been totally used .. or the refund worker is hit that refunds all of the restin in daily pay back to the reserve pool ..
Having alot of votes for the refund worker means that getting an actively paying worker is more difficult as you need (at least) more votes then the refund worker

Last time it was bitcrab, this time it was bm...what difference does it make, in your mind, who is feeding the misleading information?

still thinking about this. my main concern is that we should concentrate on core functionality for now.

workers could hire cass on a "per job" basis and add x amount to their worker proposal to pay him

So you basically are voting "pro" and "against" some committee even before a proposal started and those committee could express their vote? .... Nice!


Oh, and if you unvote me because I am currently supporting bitcrab with my so little stake, you should know that I am really supporting ALL the current committee members (you know, we are the only ppl that step up to do something really, and I believe in cooperation, and team work).

By now, the refund worker which got highest votes is refund400k (113,325,926 BTS), which means any whale or group of whales or group of proxies who have more than 113K voting power is able to vote in a worker and steal funds from the reserve pool IMMEDIATELY. There is a flaw in the worker system, see https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/issues/565. We(proxies and stake holders) can't all keep watching the worker list 24 hours.

Is there a mechanism in place for this?

Would 'payment in bitUSD' require constantly updating the worker to change the bts payrate (to reflect a new bts:USD price) ?

there's none currently. but you could use escrow and burn BTS or prolong the worker in case.

There is no need to be that harsh. Then all the workers and witnesses should be vote out. After they all receive payment in BTS (except @xeroc).
It is built in our core code. We need to address those issues, but we need consensus first.

I have already tried reaching them.
For exchanges, I would actually recommend they delegate their voting power to a proxy that is maintained by a group of trusted individuals and owned by the committee.
That way, the exchanges do need to do politices, the stake could still vote and the shareholders have ultimate control over the voting power

How are you suggesting the committee will be able to accurately reflect the will of the shareholders?

A proportional vote across all current witnesses that are up-for-election could ensure that voting stake is used, but the overall effect of the vote would be exactly neutral to the shareholder vote.
(I'm a bit rusty on the mechanics of voting so this might be based on faulty understanding)

Not all shareholders want to vote for the same things.
How can you use the stake to vote for what the shareholders want?
Vote for what 51% of shareholders want?

Could you also explain why non-voting stake is "bad stake"? I am willing to accept that it is, but I don't understand why currently.
I'm sure other shareholders don't either.

p.s Can anyone tell how many lurkers there are that read these forums as their due diligence before investing in BitShares? My point is that many people may be wanting to find information, but do not want to make an account. So I think it is a good idea to have quick explanations of what we are discussing and why and so forth. Lots/most of this information is available in the BitShares documentation, but having information feeds from all angles certainly doesn't hurt.

I would also suppose that doing a duckduckgo.com search for a specific question about BitShares would more likely lead to a post on this forum, rather than a page in the online official documentation.
I may be wrong.
e.g My post 2 years ago about paper wallet setup for BTS 1.0 is still the top hit for "paper wallet BitShares 2.0"

Why would we want to solicit that anyway? I disagree that stake that doesn't vote is "bad stake" when it comes to exchanges. Unless exchanges explicitly disclose their intentions to BTS stakeholders with stake on their exchange about how they intend to vote and give them notice to move their stake if they don't like it, THEN the exchange is misrepresenting those stakeholders. They are aggregating their power to the interests of the exchange not the BTS stakeholders.

We've discussed exchange voting before and IIRC the general consensus is was to consider it a potential problem and contrary to decentralization. It's not the same as proxies, b/c stakeholders can switch their proxy themselves on a dime. Without accountability of exchanges to BTS stakeholders who hold their stake on their exchange, it is centralized and unhealthy for personal freedom.

One could well argue that such stakeholders relinquish their control by using centralized exchanges, and I agree. But should we encourage the legitimacy of this centralization? I think not. Unfortunately we can't control what exchanges do either.

The issue is similar to explaining to people why centralized banking is not in their best interests and convincing them to get out and seek alternatives like digital currencies that support individual freedom and safety from bailins. It's simply a hard nut to crack.

My question to @xeroc is in what way did you reach out to exchanges and what did you suggest to them?

voting for witness @startail - seems very active and participating.

I thank you for your vote in confidence. I will do my best and stay as active as possible. As I mentioned in my post, I think a witness should stay active and visible in the crowd, and that's what I intend to do. I do some coding as well, making smaller help scripts here and there. But just being out there is what I try to do more.

I'd appreciate any and all votes on my witness 'sc-ol', http://cryptofresh.com/u/sc-ol.

not voting for BitShares Greater China Rep - same reasons as for spokesperson.

lack of clear goals
lack of tracking

also started voting for refund400k in an attempt to raise the entry bar and to block unwanted workers.

voted for it again, giving this project the benefit of the doubt.

if https://auton.io/ ends up implementing bts dex and is a great product, I reserve the right to remove my vote again, obviously.

Alfredo needs some extra funds to cover the agreed payment, due to BTS value decline leading to less bitUSD to payout.

Hackthedex - it's escrowed and it's necessary to get some actual pentesting going on. if results are bad, I will remove my vote again.

Post by: fav on July 28, 2018, 08:09:42 am
so we have currently 2 ui workers coming up, one changes the background but maybe not great in terms of UI, the other one builds - as far as I know - on the existing base but done by experienced designers(?)

1st: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=26873.0
2nd: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=26875.0

voting for both would mean unvoting half of the other workers, as they're asking for a lot of money.

opinions?

In response to the fraud that is BSIP76, "fox" continued to publish accurate pricing data. The result was swift: votes were removed by those complicit with the fraud and the most senior block producer was removed from active production. Restoring your vote will move the needle on toward freedom from price-feed manipulation,

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for your support in the past. I appreciate your vote. At this point I don't believe I will be voted in because I am strongly against price setting. It is unfortunate that in the cross fire all other smartcoins lose price feeders because certain actors feed only what they need. Anyway just wanted to say thanks!
