« on: April 03, 2017, 12:25:58 am »Is the prediction market actually functional as a practical matter?I am not a programmer, so I have no comment there. I also respect that Dan did more for Bitshares than a user/speculator like myself will ever do.
That said there is lots to be done. A project of this size and ambition needs a full time developelment team.
You're misusing the word development.
What Bitshares needs is more business use cases, marketing, and promotion.
People who have been following Bitshares from the Protoshares days, heard lots about development. Bitshares and the DEX is in stage that it can be used "as is".. and do quite well at it. That's why there's tradeable tokens, volume, etc.
The only reason we don't have more liquidity in the system is not because of programming development or features... (so please stop saying "development") -- Development in the cryptocurrency industry generally means "dev" to "dev" or "develop" the code base of the software.
Bitshares is already developed, it already runs, it already works. We're past the early investor stage.
Now Stan has are elluded to the idea that he's working on some major business use cases for Bitshares, and I suspect other people are doing in the same.
...but all of this talk about "We need development", why isn't bytemaster doing more "development"... it's just the wrong word.
For instance, the bitshares system already is self governing. It already allows you to create worker proposals to do XYZ to get things done.
We have a decentralized system for a reason -- it's decentralized WHETHER OR NOT Dan/bytemaster is here or not. It continues to run, and run well. It's working. It's in operation. It's not BETA. It's active!
Is Bitshares actually a Dex for the crypto markets?
To my limited understanding those things are hard coded into the protocol.
