The concept of freedom is perhaps the most universal message. It's a call to individual action with moral and revolutionary undertones that work in our favor: http://www.globalresearch.ca/the-concept-of-revolutionary-freedom/30071
Most people want security over freedom. Why not talk about financial security to the masses while financial freedom to the choir?
Sounds good to me!
Try to list your ideology, your politics, in as positive terms as possible (what you are FOR, not AGAINST), as ONE reason and motivation for getting into your product. Now make a real effort to list as many radically OTHER reasons and motivations for getting into your product as possible. Finally try to express them all in the most beautiful, universal message.
That, I submit, is what great leaders do.
A beautiful, universal message, that's some good homework!Something people here need to understand: a powerful, emotional message and product utility are not binary options. You need an emotional message to get the attention of average people. Once you've got their attention, impress them with awesome utility.
Yes!
- definitely on board with the OP and the TED talk, which the above also reflects.
I figured it was some esoteric relation to a turing machine. Just another buzz word with little to add over just saying "we're adding a scripting lanuage" to the client. It that statement is incorrect, pls explain the difference between "turing complete" scripting and just scripting.
Touring complete has more features. For example a scripting language without loops is not touring complete. By definition a script is said to be Turing complete if it can simulate any single-tape Turing machine.

doesn't even begin to convey how much I appreciate what you said here BM, and I'm with you all the way.Forum features could be added to BTS as soon as the key graph is in place. Assuming people are willing to pay their $0.02 to post
Maybe consider how a transaction fee system for forum posts could be utilised to improve the quality of the discussion? e.g.:Some days ago I proposed in a hangout to have something like Stackexchange were people find answers to questions and the most helpful answer gets a "helpful answer" flag .. plus you can up and downvote individual alternative answers and and give credits to the people answering ..
- a flat cost per length of post, covering system cost, but also encouraging stakeholders to make pertinent points where they feel this genuinely adds value to discussion
- an ability to like posts, and absorb some transaction cost from the poster, encouraging lower cost for more helpful posts
you might either distribute "income" daily, weekly, monthley .. whatsoever .. and "pay"/"gift" those willing to help within that period accordingly ..
I thought about this a bit more. I like it for paying people giving support answers. I think paying for forum posts won't necessarily be good. It will lower the amount of posts but it will also get some of the better posts as not everyone is willing to pay to post. (without going into specific amounts/threshholds)
The forum itself doesn't belong on the blockchain, but the intriguing idea is the bundling of the BitShares client with access to this forum.
If our public keys were tied to our forum ID and access to the forum was only through the BTS client, the benefits described by the OP could be realized.
I proposed that idea months back. I think that is something they might have planned in the new interface.

Should give you the power to compute the answer you seek.
When people say something like 10/10/80 or 7/3/7/3/80. All that means is they are talking in terms of percentages of the resulting shares. Your share count will stay the same, but others will be added.Thanks gamey. I think your format is better in many respects b/c people can go into the recording at the time index you provide and get the info without editorial bias.
Anyway, I was just going to say thanks for doing this. I think I caught the end of this and you were asking for someone to come up with an update. Well I grumpily suggested you volunteer to do it ! And here we go. Nice work.
"percentages of resulting shares"? I just don't get it, that's why numbers are necessary. I see talk about % of market cap, market cap / by maximum shares possible and many many other parts of the whole picture, but nothing that says if I donated 3.5678337 BTC to AGS (prior | post 2/28) and the market cap (of BTSX or AGS ?) at the Nov 5th snapshot is ?.?Million, I will get.
If I left out an important factor or included extra ones in that calculation people need to know what the exact, complete formula is.
There is no complete formula that can readily be written down. You need to know how many AGS you have and can't go very easily go from BTC. I thought I had formula right for PTS/AGS but my calculations were off. There is a thread elsewhere on the subject which translates PTS/AGS to specific BTS numbers. It is about 100 BTS per PTS etc. However, since I don't know how many DNS I had etc even those #s don't do that much.
7/7/3/3/80 Would mean that with 100 shares in target sharedrop, there will be 5 groups each with a corresponding amount of shares. 3,3,7,7 and 80.

.?? shares of BTS. Most savvy investors around here take all this for granted but it's complicated for newbies.
