I think the website should discuss the various use cases.  That should include from the end-user standpoint (e.g. cryptocurrency traders, and those that want to invest in Bitshares and perhaps participate in its governance), as well as from the standpoint of businesses that might like to build atop Bitshares including exchanges (both new  and existing), wallet providers, existing businesses that want their own tradeable crypto-token, existing cryptocurrencies that don't want or need to continue maintaining their own blockchain, etc.

Bingo +5%
 
As a newb to Bitshares, tell me why the hell I should scroll your page down and read some more. SELL ME in the first sentence of the first paragraph.
 
Use small images to denote each section to draw your eye to what that user might be most interested in (at a glance).
 
You got me to your website, now SELL ME in the first 5 seconds or I'm gone. see?

the filled orders per day has been steadily climbing over recent weeks.  Transfers have also been increasing, but not at the same pace.

What say you Ken? Aren't you about to launch a new version of the POS that uses Smartcoins? Isn't this something to celebrate in regards to adoption of Smartcoins vs. UIAs?

 
BitShares Munich has hired Maurits and Valentin (lin9uxis) to build and run bots on bitCAD, bitEUR and bitSILVER markets.
 
We also update the OPENPOS thread almost daily with new milestones and apps we are building. Now that we are starting to get investors backing us, we are slowly expanding our team with devs for graphene, stealth (and blinded tx to start out with), bond market, scheduled and recurring payments, margin trading, rate limited free transactions, more POS system integrations, more mobile wallets (native), decentralized media (using ipfs, webrtc and such) and of course Echo which you will also find in the projects thread. Tons of work to do yet, but this is all stuff you guys have been requesting (me too!). So any of you guys sitting around complaining that you're not getting rich, please find something productive to do with what we have, or start building something yourself, or hell just hire people that are smarter than you are. Investors love what we are doing and they will love you too if you just get busy. /rant

Is there another way to get apps running on IOS or must they be on their appstore?
I don't have an iPhone, just curious, I prefer Android phones — for various reasons

I think those iOS users will have to "jailbreak" their phone if we just can't win Apple over. I think Apple is getting concerned that we might be competing with their Apple Pay service now, hence the denial of our Wallet apps.

Does anyone know where I can find an off-the-shelf wallet application that can create a hash of a document and store it on the bitshares blockchain?...
and want to eventually develop a branded registry for securing engineering works.

Try out Alexandria (http://alexandria.media/#/media/type/book) and start getting familiar with IPFS (http://ipfs.io)...

That's why we have the little icons/avatars. Even for similar names the icons will be completely different.

Yep, those identicons help, but I think the wallets really need a Contacts screen. This way you could just click on whom you want to send to (like i did in the mobile wallets).

I just got another reply to my latest Appeal:
Code: [Select]

From Apple

Program License Agreement
Hello,

Thank you for your response. At this time BitShares is not an approved currency for the App Store and so the BitShares Wallet app cannot be approved for distribution on the App Store. Should you wish to revise the currency used by the app, you may do so and resubmit.

Best regards,
Erin
App Review Board

and my reply to it:
Code: [Select]

Hi Erin, thank you again for your time, it is much appreciated :) You are stating that "BitShares is not an approved currency". Bitcoin also was not an approved currency. The token name cannot be changed, that is impossible. Both of these technologies use the blockchain, and both are just tokens upon it. If "BitShares is not an approved currency" yet, then what is the process to get it this additional token approved just like Bitcoin?
Thank you again :)

So, here is Apple's latest email to me:

Hello,

Thank you for your response. We understand that you are unable to change the name of the currency, however this currency is not approved for the App Store and cannot be distributed using an app on the App Store.

We encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

Best regards,
Erin

It's getting almost comedic at this point, jeez
 
edit: i sent her another friendly inquiry, will post updates here as we go

-----------------------------------------------
Hello,

We are writing to let you know the results of your appeal for your app, BitShares wallet.

The App Review Board evaluated your app and determined that the original rejection feedback was partially accurate.

Your app is no longer in violation of PLA 2.3.

However, your app is still in violation of:

11.17: Apps may facilitate transmission of approved virtual currencies provided that they do so in compliance with all state and federal laws for the territories in which the app functions

The app facilitates the transmission of a BitShares, which is not approved for the App Store.

Additionally, the following issue was discovered during our evaluation:

2.9: Apps that are “beta”, “demo”, “trial”, or “test” versions will be rejected

The app claims to be in beta. Please remove all references to "beta" from your binary. If you would like to conduct a beta trial for your app, you may wish to review the TestFlight Beta Testing Guide. A screenshot has been attached for your reference.

We hope you will consider making the necessary changes to be in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines and will resubmit your revised binary.

Best regards,
Erin
App Review Board

I am replying to her now with another friendly inquiry. We will remove the word beta from the bottom left corner of the wallet screen if they allow the word BitShares to be used. Let's see... (for the record, this is fukn ridiculous IMO grrrrrrrr)

When it comes to getting approved by Apple, you might consider trying to bill your app more as a Bitcoin app than anything else.  Also, why do you need to mention encryption?  I would avoid that.

It's too late for that now since they have already read our app description, but when I originally researched all the other crypto apps in their store, a good majority of them mention how their funds are encrypted, so that can't be it. Their comment that states "approved virtual currencies" and the ERN and CCATS crap though is what really pisses me off. Our Smartcoins POS systems (above) are all native to iOS and Android as well, so is Apple going to deny all of those apps we are producing now too? wtf

Smartcoins POS beta1 now complete, but lots of UI to do still. Overdraft Protection in the BitShares Wallet is working great now (allows your wallet to draw from a pre-defined alternate balance if you do not have enough to cover your bill at the cash register). Rewards Card (loyalty points) feature is working great now too (the merchant can automatically reward their customers with their own token which can be redeemed (partial, or in full) upon the customers next visit). The callbacks are working great (and in under 3 seconds!) so the moment you receive your eReceipt from the merchant and approve the payment, the POS system verifies your payment and you're on your way. That's faster and safer than using cash!
 
We will probably be happy with the UI within the next 2 weeks, and then we can quickly do the same fluffy stuff to the Odoo POS system as well (it's also in beta1, but just needs some beautification).
 
The Smartcoins POS systems allow a merchant of any size to accept nearly any cryptocurrency (even the price-stable market-pegged Smartcoins themselves) at ZERO cost. All a merchant needs to do is install the free app into their existing POS system and they are ready to roll.

I just received som BAD news for iOS users. The BitShares Wallet for iOS was denied by Apple.
 
They denied it because (apparently) it transmits a "virtual currency" that is not approved for the App Store. Secondly, they will not allow our app because it uses encryption to which they do not hold the keys (at least guess this is what they are trying to say).
 
Anybody have any idea what we should do next? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

Your app facilitates the transmission of a virtual currency that is not approved for the App Store.

Next Steps

We encourage you to review your app concept and incorporate different content and features that are in compliance with the App Store Review Guidelines.

PLA 2.3

Additionally, we found that your Application Description states:

"Secured by the encrypted, fraud-proof BitShares blockchain."

However, your app does not have Export Compliance, which does not comply with the Apple Developer Program License Agreement, as required by the App Store Review Guidelines.

Section 2.3 of the Apple Developer Program License Agreement specifies,

"You certify that (i) none of the Licensed Applications contains, uses or supports any data encryption or cryptographic functions; or (ii) in the event that any Licensed Application contains, uses or supports any such data encryption or cryptographic functionality, You will, upon request, provide Apple with a PDF copy of Your Encryption Registration Number (ERN), or export classification ruling (CCATS) issued by the United States Commerce Department, Bureau of Industry and Security and PDF copies of appropriate authorizations from other countries that mandate import authorizations for that Licensed Application, as required."

Please review your app's encryption ability, and when resubmitting your binary, check the appropriate answers to the questions in the Export Compliance section of iTunes Connect. You may be asked some follow-on questions to determine the level of encryption in your app; you may also be asked to provide a copy of your CCATS.

If you have questions related to export compliance and your app's use of encryption, please contact the App Store Export Compliance team at appstore.ec[member=3065]apple[/member].com.

Ken,

I'm kind of confused by this.  Did your team read the terms of service prior to working on the iOS App?  Getting bitcoin wallets on iOS has been extremely difficult for the last several years and I wouldn't expect a bitshares app to be any easier.  Granted coinbase got their app on iOS, but i'm sure they followed the terms.  There are some other wallets as well on iOS, so maybe ask Apple why they were allowed in.

If they did it, and our technology in essence works the exact same way (encryption, blockchains, wallet transfers the tokens, etc) then why would they deny us? Yes, it might be difficult for them, but they must have said something or done something to help Apple to see the light.
 
I have contacted Apple directly via their Appeal process with that exact inquiry. A friendly message just asking what else we should do to get published in the App store just like all the other Bitcoin wallets out there. I will keep posting my progress with them here on the forum..
