I am freaking amazed we have any new signups at all.   I am on step 12. Its 2 pages long so far, and I got stuck and could not complete the registration of a TITAN address.

This is not a bitch and moan though. The exact opposite. I know registration and funding of accounts will be able to be done in 5 minutes within the next 2-3 months. 

That is why I am so excited. We already have a huge following, are the 4th biggest alt, have nearly $1 million in bitAssets floating around, have an epic core dev team, and a great team of marketers plotting on dozens of different fronts.   Q1 '15 is going to be so amazing I will not know what to do with myself.

To achieve what we have with such a high barrier to entry really is testimony to how big this is going to be when it is GrandMa ready.

Hold on people!

Oh... and can anyone tell me where to find the private key in the client?

I will do it.  I have pm'd you.

Price Feed - median of feed prices provided by delegates and is updated as often as the community demands delegates update, usually after large price moves and at least once per day.

So if 101 delegates update price once a day, that is on average one data point every 15 minutes or so.  But you say it is the median.  Meaning you have to have a number of them.  So how often is the median taken?  What is that formula?

I am trying to assertain in what time period, would the price of bts have to crash by 66% in order for my bitUSD to be uncovered.  Thanks.

I like the original, but bitUSD is the product not bts.

Why bank when you can bitUSD?
or
Why bank when you can bitDollars?

Agreed.

Giving away free samples of ownership certificates makes little sense. Giving away free samples of your product to a targeted demographic in limited way makes a lot of sense.

I dont think most people know what collateralized  is.

At present we are imagining it like this.

Merchant saves 40% by using bitUSD and offers to pass 20% savings on to customers.

At checkout page customer sees banner in the payment options section. "Pay anonymously and get a 20% discount by using bitUSD" or "Protect your privacy and get a 20% discount by using bitUSD" [hypelink]What is bitUSD?[/hyperlink]

Customer clicks on link.    Goes to a very nice corporate site.  Watches a short animated video (3mins) on how cool bitusd is. How he can download wallet(desktop or phone) and fund it within 60 seconds(cool on ramp not yet public) + spend it at legitimate non porn places like XYZ + with absolute anonymity + that some merchants offer discounts to use bitUSD because bitUSD is so awesome it saves them merchant fees + you earn real interest while the bitusd is in your account, so feel free to get a few extra bitUSD (more than you need for this next purchase)

Once user has funded wallet they are returned to the referring merchant.

Points to note:
Our site is professional. It feels like an Amex black card site.
Our site works for all merchants not just porn sites. Porn will be able to make 20-40% discounts where as Amazon will only be able to give 2% discounts, but it all works the same.
We will have there email address and can follow up with informative videos how they can get the "cool new CD like accounts" that pay higher interest than there bank and they may want to park some USD there.
If we can figure out some cool way to make more money on the back end (or get community support donation/dilution/delegate pay)  we can pay an army of sales people to approach businesses in all niches OR give customers a free $5 sample to try us out, or some combination.

Now do me a favor.  Don't make me regret making this post.  Things change and change a lot. Even though deadlines have not been offered, if they were they would be not met. Dont complain this is not happening fast enough or not at all. This will not even be attempted until the product is where it needs to be.

Imagine loading a browser-based wallet with a few bitUSD and grabbing videos a la cart for a buck or two... or paying cam girls directly.

A la carte video and tipping cam girls can be achieved equally well with any crypto.  It is the recurring billing we have a monopoly on.

Sure, but the stability, transaction time and TITAN put bitUSD miles ahead of any other existing crypto.

But the network effects put us miles behind.  It will be easier to go after a market that bitcoin cannot go after.

This is the golden ticket, period.  We could create some really interesting viral marketing campaigns around it.  Is it possible to add incentives for individuals to push bitUSD to these different high risk markets?  For example, if Joe Smith contacts PornPalce123 and convince them to use bitUSD, is there any way to compensate or is this maybe a paid delegate position?

How about starting your own 'bounty delegate'?

This is just a dedicated marketing delegate.

$2k/month to hit up porn sites and cam girls?

Should be a long line of qualified candidates - and we'd only need one or two to make a huge impact.

Porn delegate? Don't forget the brothels and strip joints. Smut delegate? Booze, drugs, and bail bondsmen. Sin delegate?

Oh the ideas I've had.  I would be glad to let people know behind the scenes (perhaps using the mumble server) of these ideas.  But lets just say it could eventually reach much farther.  Unfortunately, I often wonder if this is best done with another SuperDAC like BTS, only created to have the functionality of what coins like SXC were attempting to do.  The only reason i say this is because having all these things tied to one DAC could cut us off to huge markets.  For instance, what if BTS placement in the Porn Industry is used in a smear campaign to keep our voting system from being utilized? 

Then we gain one huge market just to lose another.

Very interested to hear thoughts.  PM me is you wish.

The relationship of bitUSD to the adult industry would be similar to bitcoin to gambling sites.  bitUSD has  many squeaky clean uses, but one industry has taken a special shining to it.
