So does stealth actually work?  Can anyone give an example on how to do a stealth transaction?
My guess is not really unless your are some kind of super user, but instead we are getting the half as good version that conveniently was being developed as one of the specs for Steem.

Half as effective?

Or half as user friendly?

I'm not sure if any actual data has been released on the scope of the implementation of blinded transfers.

While "stealth, ""confidential," "secret" transactions bring hype among communities, the blockchain itself is a transparent ledger.  No matter the implementation it appears there will always be a way to track funds eventually to user with a high degree of probability.

Am I missing something with the following questions/thoughts?
BM mentioned our account balance can be hidden, how so?  If Account A has 100 bts and blind transfers to account B 100bts with the blind feature, we can still see Account A HAD 100bts and now has 0?  We can easily assume Account B now has 100bts.  Is the only way to gain true stealth still through a mixing service?  This appears to be similar to 0.93?

Once a balance is hidden, how will it effect voting?

Can additional features be added to hide things like who we are voting for?  Our white/black lists?  Assets?  Permissions?

Another example is when we browse a user's ID, why does the membership option even appear?  Perhaps removing things like this could minimize data usage and lower latency?

Everything ok with the payouts?  According to the website, a few payouts are not showing up in the wallet even though they are indicated on the website.

These seem to be skipped:

I need to check the following when I get home, not sure if the "recent history" includes these or not since they are old.  They also do not show up on CryptoFresh.

I won't be able to join however hope to see a discussion on Stealth and user privacy options.

BM mentioned our account balance can be hidden, how so?  If Account A has 100 bts and blind transfers to account B 100bts with the blind feature, we can still see Account A HAD 100bts and now has 0?  We can easily assume Account B now has 100bts.  What am I missing here?  Is the only way to gain true stealth still through a mixing service?  This appears to be similar to 0.93?

Can you be more specific?  Are you asking for a donation for BitShares to be listed?

1100 btc buy support on poloniex, quite high yet all of it no where near the current market price.  I'm still having a hard time believing all the buy support and volume going on in alt's compared with btc.

Per mumble at 3:41 : https://soundcloud.com/beyond-bitcoin-hangouts

Why?  I think annual membership is important.

Shouldn't there be a process for making a change to this feature?

Soooo....what are the charts saying now guys?

I know nothing about technical trading, but it looks to be a fairly low volume dump overall, compared to the pump candles going on the other day. Does that mean anything?

Kind of feels like ETH stole our pump, and now we have to pay for their dump, too. Double whammy.

This happened to everyone. A coordinated dump. BTS, ETH, MAID, SJCX, FCT. Everything down in a matter of minutes. Someone trying to create chaos.

What's interesting is that these coins have majority of the volume on Poloniex.  I worry another Willy bot could be in play.  Thoughts?

There's no way of knowing that. Could be someone just wanting to cause panic on Polo. Remember they were under DDOS a few hours ago!! It think there's some chance of that. With this huge volume, polo should have a pretty big target on its back.

Someone has a case against Polo or Ethereum maybe. I think that's more likely.

Ether is going to be added on a chinese exchange today too so maybe someone wanting to get in cheap before the chinese get in?

Symptoms are similar to Gox.  I'm not saying that's what it is, however the volume on all these "alts" is astronomical at similar times.  I've been around BTC for awhile and it's hard for me to believe all this volume is natural NEW awareness in blockchain tech.

I guess I'm becoming too used to BitShares openness!

I hate to ask this but with poloniex having most of the volume, can we be certain no such "Willy" bot is playing out similar to Gox?  I'm not knocking ETH, just makes one wonder about third party exchanges and exactly what the BitShares project is trying to fix.  Please do not turn my question into a ETH or BTS subject, simply asking about a third party exchange and the potential for another "willy" bot.

I have added remote backups...  I was able to create Private accounts see them backed up to the server.   The encryption changed so don't expect any old TEST wallets to work.  You should be able to delete your old wallet under Settings -> Wallet Management Console..   If you delete all old wallets you'll get to use the faucet signup again.

Here is a quick video about the server backups:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIey1bwgt9k

Be aware, you will not see a transfer receipt if you send to an account in your own wallet; you can however use the "show receipt" link in the history to see it.  However, there are a lot of bug in the transfers.. I could not see the history and found it really hard to test.  That is minor stuff but too annoying to really mess with now.  I think that needs to be fixed up before we spend time on that.

I was able to backup new accounts, transfers, and contacts on the server and as you can see start using the restore feature.  It is easy to get into a conflict with the server if you start testing local backups.  I'll keep working on that, it will be stable soon.



Thanks for the update.  Rolling out stealth would coincide VERY nicely with the sudden rise in price.  Strike while the iron's hot.

I guess it is to be expected that we would retrace.  We went up far further than I expected far faster than I expected.  How long do you all think we are going to slip back down?


Going up a significant % along with massive volume is great even if this retreats.  It should open the eyes to those who put off BTS.

General Discussion / Re: [Pool] After Stealth and RLFT, what would you like to do next?
« on: March 10, 2016, 03:20:40 am »
1.
Liquidity with more market pairs will attract new traders.  Traders on Poloniex for example want to get in and out of a lot of different crypto currencies, they may not care at all about the underlying technology.  If BTS can provide a fraction of this, we can attract them as low hanging fruit.  We should however be strategic and not have knee jerk reactions how to get this done.  Perhaps we can compare the current options (if any are actually required) on this Friday's mumble.

2.
Any updates on API support providing ease of access to developers?  Dev's will want something easy to work with and build applications around.

3.
Any chance of integration with something like BitMessage for secure messaging?  I keep thinking back to the Keyhotee days and do not see any other crypto going after this feature.  Even if this needs to be tied to a third party service like adding a troll box to the exchange.

Didn't you hear the mumble?

Dannostein already has code for another project he could monnetize here, and we could have a multisig sidechain in 3 months effectively allowing bitcoins to trade on our 3 second smartchain, sucking all the bitcoins off the bitcoin blockchain and onto ours and creating perfect pegs in the process.

Total estimated cost:

$200k, a mere $5,000 Ethereum IPO investment (sold today)

We would effectively become bitcoin's "lightning network"

If some code already exists is it possible for a rough proof of concept?  Having something to show this is even possible would help fundraising efforts.
