KeyID / Re: [video] BitShares DNS
« on: March 17, 2014, 06:07:39 am »
So browser (copamnies / organizations) are the ones that would have to accept one of those systems? Can they accept a few in parallel?

freespeechme.org  has a free plugin for firefox that handles .bit

I'm sure we could do the same for .dns

dotbit.me just released a one click chrome extension

Keyhotee / Re: Keyhotee Status Update
« on: March 15, 2014, 07:18:02 am »
We've uploaded alpha release 0.6.1 with a fix for a crash bug related to the contacts list (reported via several automated crash reports today):
http://invictus.io/bin/Keyhotee-0.6.1-win32.exe
http://invictus.io/bin/Keyhotee-0.6.1.gz
http://invictus.io/bin/Keyhotee-0.6.1.dmg


Currently we're working on design of the p2p networking layer that processes DAC blockchains.


Is the mac version new? Don't think I've seen that before

I imagine the hardest part to implement  in a decentralized identity/reputation system is how to protect against sybil attacks. Whats to stop me from creating 1000 fake "accounts" and giving the target adjuster shitty reviews?

Anybody can advertise the adjuster in a positive or negative light anywhere, not just in the DAC's forum page. But in order to actually affect how much they can spend you have to actually affect the adjuster's prediction market.


Ah let me see if I understand what you mean. Let's say that I want to be an adjuster. I create a coin called "bitBeard" to represent my adjusting firm. As people trust me they will purchase more shares in bitBeard which will drive my price up. If I'm on the right track this logic seems to say that my prediction market will go up if I can turn turn a profit. Turning a profit doesn't mean that I'm honest

But if you turn away to many claims, then people will start to complain about you, and your prediction market will fall, while your competitors rise.


Prediction markets ebb and flow regardless of the asset being traded. Look at bitcoin, price dropped but it was because of mtGoX, not because of bitcoin itself

Acting like Lizard Men (from some other dimension?) are the dictatorial hand pushing these agendas is purely naive.  I assure you cartels and "secret" societies are a distinctly natural phenomenon.



The government as a whole is a cartel conspiracy :)

General Discussion / Vesting
« on: March 13, 2014, 10:08:56 pm »
In the "real world" when you start a company you usually give a vesting window to the founders of a company. Typically this is a 4 year period with a one year "cliff". In the bitworld, you either have an asset or you don't. I guess you could be clever with multi sig to  set up a time based escrow of funds. Anything like that planned for bitshares?

And Satoshi show us that funding is not mandatory to make great things!


Satoshi was funded by the NSA

The number of new careers that can be followed from a beach in Bora Bora is mind boggling.



Damn you, now I have an overwhelming desire to escape to bora bora

Are there any more resources on how the reputation system would work for the adjuster? The promise of a distributed/decentralized identity and reputation system is one of the reasons I get out of bed every day.

General Discussion / Trading Platform

Are there plans for a trading platform to trade DAC assets with margin? Would be cool to deposit some BTS as collateral and then be able to leverage that with like a 10:1 margin for a long/short position on bitCompany
