I'm 47. I have two teenagers, a house, a dog, and a wonderful wife. I lost 25 BTC today, and except my losses like an adult. I don't blame anybody... maybe you should do the same instead of acting like a whining little bitch. By far the most immature post I have read in the past year.

I didn't lose anything today. In fact I haven't lost anything in months... whining little bitch, BTC... are you in the right forum? This is BTS, correct?

The only thing you want is fiat currency.

Cash out and be done with us! 

I'm sure CNBC has a forum for you.

Actually gold/silver...and you're preaching to the converted. The point, if you re-read it is all the negative crap posted on here, I only put some figures down to illustrate I have lost money too. As for the "tiny amount" comment, how much of your actual income to you invest, from trading time for money?

So I went to BlockTrades.Us, selected Trade.Ltc in the dropdown under Bitshares 2.0 then convert to BTS

Put in my username
Generated a key as requested on the site

Copied and pasted the key into the memo section and sent my coins to Blocktrades as instructed.
I did not receive anything back as yet for 4 hours?

I tried to upload screen grabs but don't seem to have that option.

When I have some down time from work, or after work in the next few days I will write a dot point list of my perspective on functions, how I would expect things to work etc from a computer literate point of view, but very much a novice to this software and Bitshares in general.

Hi KD,

Our website would have instructed you to send your TRADE.LTC to the "blocktrades" account (with an identifying memo so we know the transaction payment is for). We don't show any TRADE.LTC -> BTS  requests during past 24 hours. Here's the URL for transactions to blocktrades, which shows we've haven't received any TRADE.LTC (other than one that just wanted a conversion to LTC):

https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/account/blocktrades

I realised later that I did not select the drop down menu, so actually sent you BTS my mistake, only .5 so no big deal

Hi Guys,

I registered my account back in September 2014.

I have read some people have had their accounts default to Lifetime Membership when transferring to Bitshares 2.0 so would have expected my account to do this as well, is this correct?

I have just upgraded to Lifetime Membership fee, which is now 20,000 BTS which was about 1/3 of my holdings, I also read that this fee recently doubled and could be reduced at a later date.

What's going on here? Did I upgrade at exactly the wrong time?    Should have my account defaulted to Lifetime membership as it is over 12 months old?

Thanks,
K

OK have had a quick look through the online documentation... I cannot see the really basic stuff as it seems to go straight to the advanced topics like "Blind Transfers" etc. I'm talking about the basic functions and knowledge base for the complete novice user, eg your brother, parents, neighbour who is interested having a look at it, but has no technical knowledge.

Examples like your Account Name is your Bitshares 2.0 receive key (I didn't know that).
Setting up an address book or contact list.

There is a mention of this in the top of the Stealth Transfers page at http://docs.bitshares.eu/user/StealthTransactions.html#adding-a-contact

And this makes sense to me, but I cannot find my Account Public key and have no idea where to look for it?

Anyone feel free to wade in here and tell me to back off, say "Hey its a work in progress", I don't get offended easily. I'm just trying to get my head around the basic functions before I put anymore money in to it, or refer it to anyone else.

*Update* So I walked through it and sent myself some coins via BlockTrades.Us, the key is provided once you action the transfer, its fast, it works well... but I think it needs to be documented to make it easy to understand.

Hi Guys,

I'm impressed with the new software and I have successfully transferred my balance.

I found myself needing to ask basic questions about how to use Bitshares 2.0 in a recent post, all questions were answered promptly which is great, and made logical sense after explained, but were not really clear to me at the outset.

I am wondering is there an operational manual for Bitshares 2.0 which covers the basic functions such as importing, tranfers, gateways, exchanges etc?

Thanks,
K

Its really still not clear to me guys, and I have half a clue as to how wallets and transfers work...

Usually its generate a key, send coins to that key. This is how it has always worked for me to date, so not sure what to do or think about this? I've clicked the link at https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/exchange/trade/TRADE.LTC_BTS

and I'm asked to create an account or import an existing wallet. I can see nothing in the overview section pertaining to buy/sell Trade.Ltc only a history of transactions.

When I go back to my Deposit/Withdraw section the BTC key is now gone from under BlockTrades.us and there is nothing under CCDEK at all. *Edit: BTC now back in withdraw section*

Can we go through this in laymen terms as I would expect this basic process of transferring funds to be really simple, and it isn't. If I have a fair bit of experience with transferring coins and using wallets, and I'm confused, what hope do we have making it clear for potential new investors?

To summarise: Where is my BTS key? How do I transfer BTC to Bitshares 2.0 and exchange it for BTS?

OK penny has dropped, Blocktrades is a 3rd party exchange which I actually sent my Litecoin to, they then forwarded to my Bitshares 2.0 account, correct?

I presume they buy/sell Bitcoin as well based on what I am looking at here?

So from this can I conclude that we have one exchange on board at this time, with more to follow?

Does this also mean trade.ltc or trade.btc can only be traded on this exchange?
