First of all, I am not in anyway related to livecoding.tv (https://www.livecoding.tv/) (I am not sure, why I want to emphasize that...). I am just a big fan of the idea, that other people can watch you as you write a code.
Livecoding.tv is not a BigBrother system. In my opinion it's a movement similar to "Let's Play" series very popular among gamers and youtubers. And you have to remember, that there are gamers which made a lot of profit thanks to their "let's play" activity.
I think a lot of developers are curious about how to develop anything in blockchain technology. That would be the great way of showing this and even teaching them, simply by showing the real live project. I think it also would be great way of:
* promote a bitshares among very technical people
* share a knowledge about bitshares development
* have a kind of free code audit during development
* I guess, this will be unique in the cryptocurrencies world.
Why I wrote, that this is a crazy idea? Mostly because I think that it would be too good to be true. Nevertheless, I sincerely believe that this is possible! :)
I know that this is not easy just show other people your screen. We are all humans, and we are always afraid that someone will told us, that we are doing something in wrong way. I had similar feeling when I decided to create few episodes of my own "Let's Code" series... and upload it on youtube.
I uploaded on youtube 4 movies (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVnxlFtdce51NiiIzjhQw27Q7NM8T7ikB), and I had almost 1000 viewers. And that was just an attempt. That was some small meaningless project comparing to bitshares.
I am sure that bitshares developers are professionals, which already did extraordinary things. Why not show to the world the true effort which stands behind code developed by them?
I am sure, that there is a strong demand for livestreams on livecoding, but I am also curious how much of you would be interested to take a look how bitshares magic become a reality on daily basis :)

PS.
In a moment when I am writing this post, there is a livestream with 1437 with viewers. Do you see the potential?

PS: The poll need a re-write: "Do you think do could help to promote BitShares?"
Thanks. Corrected.

Do you mean that you will develop BtsTip live? Or you meant some other project related to bitshares?
When exactly you have plans to broadcast your first session? You can schedule it on https://www.livecoding.tv/schedule/, and please paste here you livecoding login, then we could subscribe your "channel".

would be very good advertisement too... but I doubt anyone from CNX will participate

Even if the core team does not participate, I would think that once we have referral system going, this might be a pretty good avenue for some of you to use in promotions.

I think that's 1437 total views/clicks over the lifetime of the listing, not simultaneous viewers. I made the same mistake when first browsing the site.
