If I don't see any movement on this in the coming month I promise you we will head this up and be the lead to ensure that we can be available on the Azure BaaS.
At present we are tied up with other things atm and this would require a great deal of attention money and time to execute.
I think it will be worth the effort though.

i'm not following . BitShares is not capable of second-development on the public chain . So even if on Azure , it would be doing private chain development , right .Not sure what you are talking about ..
I think it's less about spending large amounts of time and money but rather having at least one unique, clearly explainable product or service.
Judging from Emercoin and Factom, whose website layouts look surprisingly similar, a 1:30 explainer video helps too.
For example, I could see Peertracks, if it's all above board/legal, getting on BAAS easily as it's a very specific blockchain product and service that's fairly unique & easy to understand.

Ok i'm done doing it in 7 min. Imagine how much more effect it would have it an entire group of people used the tools available to them to do the same. I mean if they realllly really wanted to have this tech recognized and tinkered around with by some of the people making decisions to use Emercoin...
Emercoin must have had a group of determined people...and they dont have our tools...so do we have any excuses?
REFERRER: Well if you join today and go through the whole process of buying BitShares we'll let you send these currently useless tokens back and forth for $0.2
DUDE: Wow! Golly, golly gosh! Only $0.2 to send useless tokens back and forth! I can't wait to tell my friends about BitShares!

I think the optimism is great but what product or service are you selling them? Atm BTS just lets you send tokens back and forth.

Sending anyone BTS is pretty futile, this is why the referral programme isn't producing results and the daily transaction numbers are stagnant.
Once we have tightly pegged Smartcoins that will be huge. But at the moment this rudimentary PM is the first thing that resembles a product or service. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21104.0.html
"BTS lets you bet on the outcome of the NFL, which no other blockchain does yet!" That at least is something.

Link me when you have done it for a +5% or COPPERTICKET
As for optimism...we have the fastest, most scalable chain in existence. There is a reason to get that into these people's hands. And 9 of them don't get it the 10th will. Its call persistence and this attititude that sitting and doing nothing but complain about how bitshares needs to be better doesn't bring new eyes and talent.
Why not use the tools we have available to bring recognition of the real achievements BitShares has made?
I just imagine if I posted this on Emercoin's forum(thread)....would I have an army of people helping me? Or would they say "we have little to offer"? Something tells me an optimist got Azure using Emercoin...but who knows...maybe it was complaining on their forum that did it.

It's fast, yes but if there's no product or service on the chain yet, then you're just able to send shares back and forth fast.
It's scalable, yes, but there's no significant product or service on it for Azure's BAAS to value yet. Even when Stealth is completed it will just be shares that you can send back and forth privately.
Read my last posts, I'm actively spending my time thinking of ways & solution to help BitShares be successful. Most of them revolve around improving and focusing on products and services like Smartcoins and PM's. Improving these actual products and services is what I personally think will get us on BAAS the fastest.
(Once we have lower fees and more tightly pegged Smartcoins, I think the share/tip bot will be a very positive service as well.)
However I don't think sending these tokens around now will have much effect as demonstrated by 3 months of the referral programme. If you think that is a positive activity and beneficial to BitShares, even though I think it's futile, I know your heart is in the right place, so I think that's great and I wish you luck with it as you say maybe every 10th person will be able to see the great potential.

Not sure what else to say then. though i must say i disagree 110% with the philosophy of do nothing and wait. By this logic emercoin shouldnt be used or marketed...but that logic is obviously wrong.
We cant afford to wait for perfection or fear failure. I guess ill go it alone
P.S. we do have a service...a decentralized exchange and a value xfer service that makes the other microsoft-supported tokens look far less valuable as foundational tech.
I love u donkey but damn people...sitting on our asses will give us what it always gives us-- a bad attitude and dull outlook for the future.
Products would be:
- decentralized exchange
- market pegged assets
- prediction markets (needs development)
- bond markets (not even started yet)
every other stuff on the /technology page that it's not ready yet like subscription payments through scheduled payments and "Dynamic Account Permissions - Management for the corporate environment". I think it makes sense and use that tool for management but we're a long way from that front yet.

I would probably approach it more like this...
BitShares The Home Of SmartCoins
What is BitShares?
BitShares is a decentralized platform that runs on a blockchain like Bitcoin but with MUCH higher performance.
Our core invention is Price Stable SmartCoins which since inception in 2014 have successfully allowed users to hold the value of currencies & commodities on the blockchain. Over the next few years this technology will completely transform the world as you know it and here's why...
Global Payments (See you later PayPal!)
Stable BitShares SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let you make & receive payments globally for 0.1% which is up to 35x cheaper than leading centralized competitors.
Spread Trading Platform (Short IG Index & CMC!)
Trade popular SmartStocks and SmartIndexes on the BitShares blockchain at a fraction of the cost of leading spread trading platforms and without KYC. BitShares already offers the popular Nasdaq and Shenzen indexes.
Online MarketPlace (Asta la Vista Amazon!)
List & sell products directly & privately on the blockchain & in stable currencies like BitUSD for less than 0.1% in fees.
The Blockchain Economy
Due to volatility & tight margins, merchants have to convert Bitcoin payments directly to fiat. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let merchants keep more of their proceeds on the blockchain, creating the potential to have entire supply chains & a blockchain economy that is independent of the traditional banking system.
Crypto Exchange (Arrivederci Coinbase!)
Traditional Bitcoin exchanges have high risks of thefts, seizures and shutdowns. BitShares lets you trade Bitcoin and other popular crypto-currency Smartcoins directly on the BitShares blockchain.
Digital Gold & Silver Vault
Physical gold has high storage costs, is difficult to move internationally and has historically been confiscated. Centralized derivatives like GLD have a high risk of default when there is a run on physical. BitGold & Silver lets you keep some of your portfolio on the blockchain free from those risks.
Subscription Services (Hello NetFlix!)
BitShares has recurring payment functionality which combined with SmartCurrencies bring the $30 Billion Subscription Market to the blockchain.
Transparent Crowdfunding (Nice Knowing you Kickstarter!)
Want to start a company doing anything you want and attract global investors without the red tape and high fees? BitShares lets you list, fund and trade on it's blockchain without the 3% processing fee charged by centralized competitors.
Global Remittance (So long Western Union!)
Due to Bitcoin volatility and slow confirmation times, Bitcoin has struggled to penetrate the $500 billion global remittance market. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD with their low fees and 3 second transaction times change this.
True Private Banking (At least Switzerland will still have watches and chocolate!)
BitShares allows anonymous global transactions and the ability to hold deposits in multiple SmartCurrencies, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Your blockchain funds cannot be seized or scrutinized and are not affected by local or global banking crises.
Social Tipping & The Gift Economy
Social tipping is a new phenomenon which allows users on social media sites like Twitter, Reddit & Facebook to give a tip to content they appreciate and companies like ShareBits.io have already been integrated with the BitShares platform to take advantage of this.
Online Charity
Currency Smartcoins and $0.01 transaction fees make small online charity donations affordable, transparent and fast.
Sports Betting
BitShares prediction markets allow private wagering on sports events that can penetrate a huge global market without restriction while also reducing the average 'vig' of 5-10% to under 1%. BitShares has already offered wagering on 2016 NFL games. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-3040540/Global-sports-gambling-worth-3-trillion.html
Global Lottery
Lotteries lose up to 50% on running costs, taxes and other expenses. BitShares RNG provides provably fair draws and with ticket sales directly on the blockchain, total running costs could be less than 1%.
Blockchain Casino
Winner winner Chicken Dinner! Volatility is cited as the number one reason more online casinos don't integrate Bitcoin, Smartcurrencies like BitUSD solve this problem and BitShares could even offer traditional Casino games on the blockchain for a fraction of the cost and penetrate the lucrative $30 billion onine gambling market.
Global Personal Insurance
By reducing traditional fixed costs and using the wisdom of the crowd for claim validation, the inventor of Smartcoins is attempting to revolutionize personal insurance by developing the first blockchain based Mutual Aid Society on the BitShares platform.
I am at a loss how you can compile a list like this yet still honestly say we have nothing we can approach others with...+5%
Yep. He gave us a list of selling points we could already have been using. A great asset compared to us complaining. Thank you @Empirical1.2. I know it gets tough sometimes but any of us who got into this thinking it would be easy should have never got in in the first place. We are going to keep going and with people doing valuable things like this we have more we can use.
Now I still have to admit, however. I am at a loss how you can compile a list like this yet still honestly say we have nothing we can approach others with...I mean you just basically made all your earlier points in this thread rrelevant with this post (which is respectable actually if you already know it and made a choice to fight the low marketcap demons) :D
@cass , would you consider placing it on our website as part of your current worker proposal?
Together with a couple of screen-shots of our GUI, this would be a very refreshing addition.
We could keep the webpage as it is but just add a dedicated section for non-technical newcomers with Empirical's text and some screenshots.
If this is outside the scope of your worker, I think this is worth a separate worker proposal and having it done by you or someone else who has the time.

Well my earliers statements were because nearly everything on that list requires SmartCoins to be more tightly pegged. SmartCoin to Fiat will also add to the true cost of many services mentioned.
However it was you talking about the Emercoin & Factom approach that lead me to agree with you that from a marketing point of view you can also focus on the product and service 'potential'.
This is why I spend so much of my time thinking about Smartcoins, I personally think it's at the centre of what BitShares has to offer and getting those more tightly pegged is what's going to make investors and new developers believe that the potential of many of those products and services can be actualized.@cass , would you consider placing it on our website as part of your current worker proposal?

@Empirical1.2 I realize this is off topic of this thread.. but I wanted to get your impressions since you seem to be expelling a great deal of brain power on Smartcoins.. what you think will bring the peg more inline with real world fiat.
Is it simply a chicken/egg situation if liquidity where someone is just going to have to step up and eat losses to try and pull all the other market traders inline to hold their trades within at least a 2% margin of the feed?
Or should the system change to where we put a ceiling on it and only allow the margins to go so far?
Is there something the committee could do in all this to make them work better?
Please forgive me if you have already stated such things and I have just forgotten or missed them and feel free to just cut and paste them if that is the case. :)
Personally I think BTS will benefit so much from tightly pegged Smartcoins that by supporting the peg we are not really eating a loss overall.
At the very least I think it's worth directing trading fees to dividends for the Shorts to bring them closer to the peg.
I think MAKER may fail because after two years/whenever, if the same market conditions persist Shorts will still be reluctant to come to the peg. (& we will have committed some of our future trading fees to Market Makers for past services rendered so won't be able to use that to incentivize them.)
My current thinking about how to get the Smartcoin peg tighter is here https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21125.0.html
However there are people on here, obviously including BM himself who understand these problems better than me.

If I don't see any movement on this in the coming month I promise you we will head this up and be the lead to ensure that we can be available on the Azure BaaS.
At present we are tied up with other things atm and this would require a great deal of attention money and time to execute.
I think it will be worth the effort though.

He is busy with committee stuff these days I am sure--which is pretty much a full time job in and of itself from what I see in their discussions.
As far as Azure goes, I have some leads I am working on with Ronny. Nothing else to say yet though so I am giving what I have at this juncture with no promises other than "I am actively looking into our options and opportunities".

I am in the midst of a Bitshares project that can segue into working on this rather well in a few weeks time. We will see what we can arrange then.
At this present moment though my time is totally dominated by seeing that project through. As fuzzy mentioned the committee stuff just eats up time too. Hopefully this latest round for community review will give us a bit of a breather.
I am in contact with Microsoft on their Azure Blockchain as a Service (BaaS) offering. My intention is to create a deployment template for a Witness Node & CLI Wallet on Unbuntu 14.04 LTS. Thereafter, I intend to investigate creating a template for the UI and also a template for Windows instances.
I'll post a link here once the templates are accepted into BaaS.

What's the big thing here? Isn't Microsoft that evil big corporation that produces unusable and annoying software and destroys projects that it "cooperates" with?
I worked for Nokia when Elop became CEO. When he announced that Nokia will start to use Windows I knew that it was the end Nokia phones. I'm still a little bit bitter about that. >:(

Community is just being a little schizophrenic atm. On the one hand we want to get some name recognition via other companies that have some association with Bitshares. On the other we are trashing any relationships thus far made with any businesses that are supporting Bitshares at present: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21699.0.html
(http://www.torontorealtyblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Winning.jpg)
What do a handful of forum goers do? Have forum polls to make sure nobody who is a supporter of bitshares is ever seen or heard in the one small communication channel (the forum) that bitshares has. Not a plan for winning.

While I agree with the Change from Partners to Third Party Projects, I think something like the top 5 most popular should be directly listed on the forum. (On the forum under 'Local', I would probably only directly list 'Chinese' and then put everything else in 'Other Global Areas' and save space there. )
Those are blog post and press releases. No problem with that. Show us the sections in their forums dedicated too them.What's the big thing here? Isn't Microsoft that evil big corporation that produces unusable and annoying software and destroys projects that it "cooperates" with?

Just the 2nd largest market cap one.. 4 sections of them: https://consensys.net/ventures/
OH.. and 2 days ago from the 3rd: https://ripple.com/insights/ripple-partners-with-crypto-facilities-for-xrp-derivatives/
It is basic good business and signal to investors. The idea to remove that from visibility only makes bitshares look like an unused product that isn't good enough for any company to want to adopt.What do a handful of forum goers do?

That would be a step forward. Though having a place away from the forum that is meant for this type of info would be most ideal.
Brief update:
The Azure BaaS Template for BitShares is complete and I am currently looking for beta testers prior to submission to Microsoft. If you have access to an Azure subscription and are willing to run the template, please be in contact via direct message and I will provide you the link. Once I have confidence it is functioning as expected, I will post the live link.
The template uses an Ubuntu 15.10 VM rather than 14.04 LTS, primarily due to ease of installing Boost from apt-get vs. building from source. Other OS platforms may be added in the future.
The template has the option to build from github source or use the PPA @maqifrnswa maintains for the community [1]. A huge thanks for his contributions.

If BitShares gets it's own post, this is a good layout/format to start with:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/blog/ethereum-blockchain-as-a-service-now-on-azure/
Things to focus on:
- why do people want it on Azure and what will this help them accomplish/build?
- brief history of accomplishments, general goals, future outlook
- what makes Graphene unique; what does it offer that others don't?
We should reuse the nice write-ups here: https://bitshares.org/technology/

He wants information he can use to help him communicate what BitShares is in his upcoming blog post.
Read his previous blog posts to get a sense of how he has described projects like Factom/Emercoin & contribute ideas on what you think should be included on a similar blog post about BitShares

Very very nice work. What is the timetable for this? I would expect this announcement to provide a nice bump in market cap.

What is BitShares?
BitShares is a decentralized platform that runs on a blockchain like Bitcoin but with MUCH higher performance.
Our core invention is Price Stable SmartCoins which since inception in 2014 have successfully allowed users to hold the value of currencies & commodities on the blockchain. Over the next few years this technology will completely transform the world as you know it and here's why...
Global Payments (See you later PayPal!)
Stable BitShares SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let you make & receive payments globally for 0.1% which is up to 35x cheaper than leading centralized competitors.
Spread Trading Platform (Short IG Index & CMC!)
Trade popular SmartStocks and SmartIndexes on the BitShares blockchain at a fraction of the cost of leading spread trading platforms and without KYC. BitShares already offers the popular Nasdaq and Shenzen indexes.
Online MarketPlace (Asta la Vista Amazon!)
List & sell products directly & privately on the blockchain & in stable currencies like BitUSD for less than 0.1% in fees.
The Blockchain Economy
Due to volatility & tight margins, merchants have to convert Bitcoin payments directly to fiat. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD let merchants keep more of their proceeds on the blockchain, creating the potential to have entire supply chains & a blockchain economy that is independent of the traditional banking system.
Crypto Exchange (Arrivederci Coinbase!)
Traditional Bitcoin exchanges have high risks of thefts, seizures and shutdowns. BitShares lets you trade Bitcoin and other popular crypto-currency Smartcoins directly on the BitShares blockchain.
Digital Gold & Silver Vault
Physical gold has high storage costs, is difficult to move internationally and has historically been confiscated. Centralized derivatives like GLD have a high risk of default when there is a run on physical. BitGold & Silver lets you keep some of your portfolio on the blockchain free from those risks.
Subscription Services (Hello NetFlix!)
BitShares has recurring payment functionality which combined with SmartCurrencies bring the $30 Billion Subscription Market to the blockchain.
Transparent Crowdfunding (Nice Knowing you Kickstarter!)
Want to start a company doing anything you want and attract global investors without the red tape and high fees? BitShares lets you list, fund and trade on it's blockchain without the 3% processing fee charged by centralized competitors.
Global Remittance (So long Western Union!)
Due to Bitcoin volatility and slow confirmation times, Bitcoin has struggled to penetrate the $500 billion global remittance market. SmartCurrencies like BitUSD with their low fees and 3 second transaction times change this.
True Private Banking (At least Switzerland will still have watches and chocolate!)
BitShares allows anonymous global transactions and the ability to hold deposits in multiple SmartCurrencies, accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world. Your blockchain funds cannot be seized or scrutinized and are not affected by local or global banking crises.
Social Tipping & The Gift Economy
Social tipping is a new phenomenon which allows users on social media sites like Twitter, Reddit & Facebook to give a tip to content they appreciate and companies like ShareBits.io have already been integrated with the BitShares platform to take advantage of this.
Online Charity
Currency Smartcoins and $0.01 transaction fees make small online charity donations affordable, transparent and fast.
Sports Betting
BitShares prediction markets allow private wagering on sports events that can penetrate a huge global market without restriction while also reducing the average 'vig' of 5-10% to under 1%. BitShares has already offered wagering on 2016 NFL games. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/afp/article-3040540/Global-sports-gambling-worth-3-trillion.html
Global Lottery
Lotteries lose up to 50% on running costs, taxes and other expenses. BitShares RNG provides provably fair draws and with ticket sales directly on the blockchain, total running costs could be less than 1%.
Blockchain Casino
Winner winner Chicken Dinner! Volatility is cited as the number one reason more online casinos don't integrate Bitcoin, Smartcurrencies like BitUSD solve this problem and BitShares could even offer traditional Casino games on the blockchain for a fraction of the cost and penetrate the lucrative $30 billion onine gambling market.
Global Personal Insurance
By reducing traditional fixed costs and using the wisdom of the crowd for claim validation, the inventor of Smartcoins is attempting to revolutionize personal insurance by developing the first blockchain based Mutual Aid Society on the BitShares platform.
[...]Yes, I very much agree. Adding additional parameters to the template would allow the end users to configure their VM as you suggest. I considered this from the outset, but tabled it in an effort to deliver the minimal viable solution to on-boarding a user to the platform (see: fewest clicks). An enhancement may include multiple "Deploy to Azure" icons on the BitShares on Azure BaaS landing page, allowing the end user to select their desired path. I feel presenting too many parameters to a first time user would result in a higher abandonment rate, as the need to understand what each parameter does increases their time to a live system. I had considered removing the VM sizing parameter and deploying the VM based solely on their selection of from PPA or Source, but left the choice to the user.
We could include other parameters [...]
Products would be:
- decentralized exchange
- market pegged assets
- prediction markets (needs development)
- bond markets (not even started yet)
every other stuff on the /technology page that it's not ready yet like subscription payments through scheduled payments and "Dynamic Account Permissions - Management for the corporate environment". I think it makes sense and use that tool for management but we're a long way from that front yet.
I would think in terms of products we should think about existing companies and industries that BitShares could replace.
Emercoin & Factom describe what's possible on their blockchain with compelling use cases whereas BitShares.org focuses on the technology which would be appealing to developers, blockchain savvy investors but probably wouldn't make sense to or excite more casual investors directed to the site.
I would probably approach it more like this...

I'll offer the following blurb. It draws on the submissions offered within this thread and seeks to inform a blockchain professional what BitShares is at the highest level.
The BitShares blockchain is a Financial Services platform for SmartCoins coupled with a decentralized asset exchange. SmartCoins are price-stable digital assets pegged to the current value of various currencies, commodities, stocks and other financial instruments. The BitShares blockchain “witnesses” public data from world financial markets to “publish” pricing information to the decentralized asset exchange. Markets are made and the blockchain enforces all SmartCoin parameters and transactions. The industrial-grade blockchain is currently operating at a 3-second block interval with peaks to thousands of transaction per second. BitShares is delivering today on the promises of blockchain functionality, scalability and speed. Spin up an Ubuntu VM with the software to get connected in about 15 minutes.

I like this, but fear that we need to be very careful promoting something that as yet is not proven to be perfectly pegged.I would appreciate a comment from CNX on the overall message to would-be BaaS users. @Stan @bytemaster or others care to contribute their desires related to this initiative?

The BitShares decentralized business and services platform built on a blockchain. Today, it offers SmartCoins and a decentralized asset exchange. SmartCoins are price-stable digital assets pegged to the underlying physical asset of various currencies, commodities, stocks and other financial instruments and could be interpreted as digital derivatives. The block producers are called "witnesses" and have been elected by the shareholders by means of approval voting. Any pair of assets can be traded in the decentralized exchange and the real-time capable and scalable blockchain technology allows for fast, proper and secure trading as well as transfers. The industrial-grade blockchain is currently operating at a 3-second block interval with peaks to thousands of transaction per second. BitShares is delivering today on the promises of blockchain functionality, scalability and speed. Spin up an Ubuntu VM with the software to get connected in only a few minutes.

Any update for Azure announcement ??The Pull Request is pending some minor updates within my template to ensure forward compatibility and incorporate a newer API version/format. I expect this to be completed by day's end and to then be approved by the release manager for publication to Azure BaaS.
The BitShares blockchain is a Financial Services platform for SmartCoins coupled with a decentralized asset exchange. SmartCoins are price-stable digital assets pegged to the current value of various currencies, commodities, stocks and other financial instruments within a derivatives market. This is accomplished by sourcing pricing information from world financial markets, then publishing it to the blockchain to inform the decentralized asset exchange. Markets are made between any asset pairs therein on a serialized order book to mitigate frontloading. The industrial-grade blockchain currently operates at a 3-second block interval with peaks to thousands of transaction per second. BitShares accomplishes this speed while maintaining transaction and identity security through a unique democratic consensus algorithm.

What if we post the link of this thread in the poloniex trollbox from time to time with the comment "bts soon on Microsoft Azure".
This should get the poloniex trader exited. Besides the chart of BTS looks like it go rally any time.
We need attention on BitShares, ETH is going down, it could be nice some of that money going into our MC.
Even if it's a pump only created by a pre news. Whatever makes our MC to go up, makes also our funds for development to increase.
You may be right. That's why I asked in here. So it would better to say nothing about it and wait until it's done ?
I though price usually rises on the anticipation of a news, not after it ... ?

I don't understand, you say "exactely". So price rises on the anticipation of the news, right ? So we should spead the word ?

I say don't spread the news until we know for sure that we have been added to AzureNow I got it ;)
Below is another revision, as I prepare to send it off for (hopeful) inclusion in the upcoming blog post this week. I've attempted to highlight many attributes within BitShares, without diving into details. Foremost, I want to ensure the content is accurate. As we all know, to understand BitShares is to undertake quite a steep learning curve. Let's invite those future conversations.QuoteThe BitShares blockchain is a Financial Services platform for SmartCoins coupled with a decentralized asset exchange.

Anybody signed an agreement? Do we gave to MS any BTS rights to let us get on Azure? :o
The developers of NEM are very skeptical about their integration...
We spent a considerable amount of time getting this done. Unfortunately,
at the last stage of our submission we were shown the agreement.
In the agreement, to put our solution up there, requires us to give away all our rights.
This is not quite palatable.

In the agreement, to put our solution up there, requires us to give away all our rights.
This is not quite palatable.

What if all these pumps with each blockchain that got into Azure was being backed by Microsoft itself as a way to get everyone to give up their rights so they could get into the network without realizing all the consequences?
Lets be honest.. is anybody here surprised at all.. this is Microsoft after all.
"Microsoft sues BitShares!"Looks like BitShares CEO is in trouble
great headline!
Anybody signed an agreement? Do we gave to MS any BTS rights to let us get on Azure? :o

As the community member that submitted the initial pull request to Microsoft for the BitShares Template, I can resolve this question with a definitive "No, BitShares is not granted to Microsoft." Further, it is not the intention of Microsoft to 'own' any of these blockchain submissions, rather sell compute time on their Azure platform. Please note, as an individual I signed a contribution clause with Microsoft prior to submitting the template that basically said I would not knowingly upload anything malicious. Cass would have signed the same statement when he corrected the spelling in the Readme file a few hours after my original submission.
Please review the Contribution Guide Microsoft provide for BaaS submissions for further details of the requirements:

BitShares running on Azure remains bound to the same MIT license contained within the source repository.
