How difficult would it be to make something like this? http://www.tiki-toki.com/timeline/entry/428388/The-official-Viacoin-timeline/

I'm guessing some html, css and js could do it? I'm in the process of learning it so I don't have the needed skills yet.

Do you think this would give a new user a good perspective of what BitShares has achieved and will achieve in the future?

edit: it seems they used this http://www.tiki-toki.com/

Found this whitepaper https://s3.amazonaws.com/loancoin/whitepaper.pdf

Lending DApp is a global, decentralized crowdlending network that runs on the blockchain. The network’s “gas” is LoanCoin, an asset-backed,
income-producing cryptocurrency. The network can provide loans in almost any currency, anywhere in the world, while significantly compressing
opex (leading to lower rates for borrowers and higher yields for investors). From a coinholder’s perspective, LoanCoin is similar to a savings ac-
count (without FDIC insurance), but with a higher yield, no minimum balance, greater transparency via the blockchain, and all the benefits of
bitcoin, such as peer-to-peer transfer, privacy, globalness, etc. A centralized prototype of LoanCoin is currently running on top of Counterparty.

We are acting as the sole loan officer and investing on
BTCJam, a third-party peer-to-peer lending platform

So I remember the Dark Markets initiative, some members liked it, others didn't. I found this article https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-weekly-news-%E2%80%94-april-1st-2015 which mentions some crowdfunding

"Crowdsourcing the future (of onion services)

Onion (or hidden) services are web (or other) services hosted in the Tor network that have anonymity, authentication, and confidentiality built in. As George Kadianakis writes, “anything you can build on the Internet, you can build on hidden services — but they’re better”. A major task for the Tor community in the near future is making these important tools more widely available, and usable by groups who urgently need them, so George took to the Tor blog to solicit ideas for future onion service-related projects that could form the basis for a crowdfunding campaign. “Long story short, we are looking for feedback! What hidden services projects would you like to see us crowdfund? How do you use hidden services; what makes them important to you? How you want to see them evolve?…Also, we are curious about which crowdfunding platforms you prefer and why.”

See the full post for an introduction to onion services, why they matter, why a crowdfunding campaign makes sense, and how to join in with your own ideas."


Now this could be the perfect way of marketing BitShares to deepweb without directly marketing to darmarkets 

Maybe we should also try to get bitAssets into coingateway? it seems similar to shapeshift

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2zrdxz/withdrawals_halted_as_stolen_evolution_coins_make/

Apparently some of the coins the devs stole from their own market (Evolution) which should go around 12M$ are arriving to BTC-E and this exchange decided to halt withdrawals. I found this link on reddit and I must say the discussion is pretty interesting.
.
Is it far for btc-e to take those actions without user's consent? At the same time we're in a free market and they should have the liberty to do it. What do you think?

Also, do you think BitShares could make a difference in this kind of situations? If so, how? Imo, it could, not only by being a decentralized exchange, but also through vote (once it's finished though it should take a while).

Bitcoin is awesome because of all the potential of the blockchain being a public ledger, but at the same time it can have its own disadvantages as someone could know what you do. What's your opinion on this?
