I really enjoy like a lot of people chatting in the trollbox of polinex. Without this social side a trading site can find it hard to maintain interest.


So is it possible in a decentralised system. And if the exchange really grew massive way beyond a Polinex how could it be managed. I can see some difficulties like lack of mods or the need to create multiple rooms for number of people. Maybe even a paid service?

I dont have any answers, just questions but I think its something to think about as the platform develops. Bottom line humans like to connect and communicate and without this exchanges can get a little dry.

Maybe it would be something that is managed by a third party or just individuals clubbing together... but I think having an official decentralised chat would be ideal. 

I'm a total newbie to Bitshares but not to alts. It seems to be two things collide to massively increase the value of bitshares, can I check I am not mistaken as I invest in more.


First am I correct in saying that bitshares are actually used when a bitshares smart coin is made? It does it take bitshares of a value of 1 USD roughly to make a 1 USD asset?


Two, how can we see the progress of how many assets exist, USD, GOLD etc? By this we can gauge how much bitshares are used in assets and that will help determine value, right?



*plus I agree with some criticism of the UI at the moment, it's not terrible but i think a much user friend brighter look is needed.
