We're writing 'Flash Boys 2.0' right now with Bitshares

Screw the oligarchs of finance...they're about to be overthrown.

I think not so easily, but that day will come eventually.

As the tech advanced and societies changed thru history, governing and financial systems changed. So I have no doubt that the financial system will change. But someday in the distant future, blockchain technology will also be "overthrown". Maybe we wont see that day but still...

@bytemaster can you please get rid of the reference to nasdaq transaction processing speed. even a cursory investigation demonstrates that the information you provided is false. it's rather concerning that you are creating a securities exchange without knowing much about the industry...

Could you please provide more accurate information I can quote.

Press release from 2013:

"Approximately 25 billion messages pass through NASDAQ OMX's U.S. equities and options systems on an active day, which amounts to over 1 million transactions per second in a trading day. During volatile periods, peak message traffic can be double."

Here is some earlier discussion about this.

Assuming a 'message' is a transaction then 25 billion tx/ day mean 290k tx/s.

Is the market open 24h a day? You assume messages are evenly distributed to 24 hours.

BItcoin is difficult right now! But, maybe it is good for BitShares

Everytime i have to use Bitcoin - it is just not as good, as it could be!

@lakerta06 i had the same problem for a couple of days. It was just a terrible expierience, i had to wait till the next day. So hopefully it will go fast for you.

It confirmed and I got my BTS. Thanks everybody!

Could you pls Provide Transaktion ID . is maybe your Transaktion still unconfirmes ? Ceck it via blockchain.info

Yes you are right. But why is it not confirmed still? It has transaction fee, And it is included in a block. What makes it unconfirmed, I dont understand.

I guess I should have not send directly from an exchange 

Who thinks that this call to downvote is benefitial for BitShares plus 5% me please :-)

Did you try to reach to chinese community? You can get voted in if you convince a few of the big stake holders.

PLS DELETE/REPLACE YOUR CURRENT TWITTER HEADER IMG

what is the story behind this? I think i missed it

Bytemaster, I bet you have more important things to do than tracking who earns your favor. If finally the BROWNIE.PTS will have real value (by being sharedropped upon), then their distribution should be quite fair and systematic, otherwise it will only be a dividing factor later. If BROWNIE.PTS do not have value, then I wonder why you would take so much time trying to evaluate who deserves them.

Is Ags/pts a dividing factor? Early comers / early adapters take a bigger risk. Why should they not profit more?

That said i still think this is an experiment.
