My honest opinion: I am biased on the tone of this post.  Examples:

...while making everyone in the community a ton of money.

You can help by lending our community your money

Would you be willing to skip a couple of meals to help create a better world?

Clearly stating what the possibility (incl. the financial ones) are to get involved makes sense so that people know what their possibilities are but the message the above statements can convey (to me, totally subjective, maybe its a European perspective): It is about making money, not about changing the world. We want your money for our purposes. Cheesy. 

Instead the money making possibility could be introduced in subtle way (not that blunt/cheesy) and the reader should make the conclusion himself that money can be made here.

BM's unique attributes - direct, outfront, honest. We should keep the original masterpiece.

Thanks for the work.  I am downloading.  First time using an .ogg format.

Ok then I won't worry too much about it until they get it figured out.  I was just thrown off by the wallet which I'm unfamiliar with.

Are you using the latest wallet? 

I downloaded the wallet after the snapshot so one would think that it was the new wallet. The version I downloaded was PTS v2.0.1 -0.0.9-x86.  I did have one small test transaction of 50 PTS go through so my wallet balance is now 25 pts, not quite enough to register my name.  Now it seems that about 72,000 PTS have vanished. Nothing from Poloniex in two days.

Your wallet is good.  You need to check with poloniex on your transaction.  The destination address for Poloniex outgoing transaction may have to be a registered Account Name and not a public address (as what you did).  If your transactions are stuck somewhere in poloniex because of this, their support staff can cancel those transactions and you can resubmit the withdrawal.  The most effective way to get support from poloniex is to raise a support ticket with their helpdesk system.

* The original sharedrop token - check
* DAC-agnostic implementation of DPoS - check
* Provably fair 100% proof of work distribution - check
* Deflationary protocol - check

 

It is a dream coin comes true.

I like the onion.  And we have the finest.

Succinctly, I don't have any intentions to run a delegate for three reasons. First, the board of Invictus made a decision without debate or my input back in October of last year that my services were no longer required. I really don't think I can have an effective working relationship with the people who made that decision moving forward. I'd be happy to collaborate where it makes sense and I always promote good technology if it's open source, high quality and solves real problems. Thus I'd be happy to pitch Bitshares as it evolves just like I do Eris, Counterparty and other platforms.

Second, I'm currently involved in several ventures as an adviser and I'm also starting an education venture in 2015 that requires some degree of objectivity. To avoid conflicts of interest, I can't really take a paid advocacy role.

Third, after spending roughly $250,000 on US legal research via Pryor Cashman while at Ethereum, I've come to the opinion that ICOs like angelshares pass the Howey test and thus agents of the company are exposed to unnecessary legal liability. Delegates as fiduciaries are not immune to this liability and it isn't just a fine from the SEC. Furthermore, even if AGS is considered a donation, it seems to me to be a donation solicited with an implicit expectation of return, yet without any accountability from the solicitor (as evidenced by numerous examples, the most recent being the Brian Page audit thread). As I've written in my recent whitepaper, I feel these events are predatory and result in bad outcomes.     

As bitshares the technology gets further disintermediated from I3 the company, then I'd be happy to become more involved. This will no doubt happen over the coming months and years and I believe everyone is in this for the long haul anyway. Anyway, thanks again for the consideration.

Where can we find out more information?  I would appreciate any pointers to it.
