General Discussion / Re: Where to buy BTS?
« on: September 05, 2015, 07:33:30 pm »
Please help, can't find solid and trustable exchange site
If you have BTC, LTC, or DOGE, you can safely buy some BTS from http://blocktrades.us. We are a "currency converter", rather than a matchup exchange, so we don't hold customer funds longer than necessary to confirm it before we send you the converted output coin. We also accept credit card orders for amounts over 10 BTC.

General Discussion / Re: List of Brownie.PTS distribution?
« on: September 05, 2015, 05:49:24 am »
As to specifics of Brownies, Bytemaster can see the distribution since he controls the asset, but its a mystery to the rest of us.  "Regular users", if by that you mean forum regulars over the past year, probably got about 3000-6000 brownies depending on post count (at least, if they posted in the thread and bytemaster gave brownies).  Those who did dev work for BTS got tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of BTS, based on looking at the supply distribution.  (We cant see who they are, just how much is in different accounts).  As to people who didnt get them in those ways, they have to grind mumble sessions for DKP Brownies, or buy them.

Brownies are pretty much 'Bytemaster DKP' in my mind.  He will distribute the epic loots in time. ;)
We're offering a very limited supply of those "DKP points" now on a daily basis at http://blocktrades.us, for anyone looking to buy brownie.pts with Bitcoin or BTS...

yeah nice to know, but off topic.

so you got a lots of brownie.pts and now you are selling. Is this the point of your statement?

my question was, if there is a list, who we can see how much brownie.pts everyone got?
No, my point was that we're offering a limited amount of brownie.pts from our holdings as an incentive to try the blocktrades service. I felt it was worth mentioned that we're selling some now to BTC holders, as another poster already mentioned you could buy them on the DEX for BTS.

As to your original question, I thought that had been adequately answered already (didn't know the link didn't work since I didn't bother to follow it, not really that curious who has brownie.pts personally). I think the "richlist" link is pretty much the definitive answer to this question, btw (unless you get a lot of voluntary answers from all the holders).

Can understand BTC -> Brownie, but can't you do BTS -> Brownie on chain? Though I guess until 2.0 traversing the order book properly will retain a certain skill!

Yes, we could have placed asks on the distributed exchange to sell them as BTS, but that does "lock them up", so they wouldn't be available to BTC buyers at the same time, and we have a fairly limited supply. By selling them thru BlockTrades, we're open to purchasers with any currency we've provided a pairing for.

More importantly, this is really more of a promotional offering to attract people to make a purchase through our site,  rather than a desire to sell the brownie points. Naturally, we could have just offered to sell them to BTC holders, but we didn't think this would be fair to BTS holders.

395
As a promotional offering, BlockTrades will be selling roughly 10K brownie.pts per day for the next two weeks as we approach towards the launch date for BitShares 2.0. The brownie.pts can be purchased with either BTS or BTC. We have a strictly limited supply, so we strongly recommend you keep your purchase to the suggested deposit limit shown on the page.

Technical Support / Re: Integrate third party services on the wallet
« on: August 29, 2015, 09:24:48 pm »
Sure ..
in theory you can integrate any service that offers an API .. including metaxexchange, blocktrade.us and mostly all central exchanges ..

Then it would be nice to offer something like coinigy. BitShares could turn into the "go to" place. We would have our markets running on our chain but also the option to interact with other exchanges. Would be nice to see that later on. But mainly Metaexchange and Blocktrades so we could go directly BTS <-> BTC

I discussed exactly this last year, but nothing came up of it.
It's in the works: we just gave Valentine our updated API docs for BlockTrades last week and he's planning to add support for it soon.

General Discussion / Re: Take the Money and Run!

Yeah, calculation in bitAssets are really, really tough at the moment!

Seems I am not alone. on BlockTrades it says, To receive 600 BitUSD, deposit 376.20519551  BTC and you can't buy bitUSD at all with BTC.
BlockTrades works off the actual markets, in this case the BitShares DEX market (and to a limited extent off feeds for some markets). Right now, it looks like we're quoting 173BitUSD for 1 BTC. This is certainly buyable, it just means the market is valuing BitUSD higher than USD (this isn't that uncommon).

That valuation makes sense. I was referring to this below. Maybe I need to login or just a display bug?
No,  looks like there was a problem where the database for our live site was missing the market pairing for the bitusd->bts market direction, so it was unable to provide pricing in that direction. I've added it now, and it's providing proper pricing for that direction.

Not sure why it was reporting such a strange value for receiving 600 BitUSD for Bitcoin, but after updating the site to our latest code, it's reporting 4.252 BTC for 600 BitUSD, which I think is an accurate reflection of the market.

We now have enough LTC in our accounts to start accepting limited amounts of BTC, BTS, BitBTC, BitCNY, and BitUSD for Litecoin. We've also added a pair for buying BTC with LTC.

Will BlockTrades be among the first to convert to the Graphene backend? Will BlockTrade leverage it's community relationship to the technological benefit of the exchange?
We added support for the graphene client a while back to help verify that it had the features required for gateway support.

Nice.

Btw, when is Blocktrades' gui going to be updated? Are you going to use the new webwallet as a frontend?
We completed the first update of the GUI sometime back, but still haven't rolled it out as it's mainly "invisible" to users (it was done mainly to ease long term development of the GUI and to speed rendering of web pages) and has been deemed lower priority than other changes we're making. Our volume has been growing quite rapidly, so at the moment we're focusing a lot on adding new coin pairs, making sure we handle the volume well, and adding more security features such as increased automation of cold wallet management.

It's very possible that we will add the webwallet as a frontend to the decentralized exchange, since this would allow us to diversify our offerings to customers, but that's a decision for later on.

General Discussion / Re: Bitshares price discussion
« on: August 21, 2015, 07:39:30 pm »
Still learning about Bitshares but feel like it's both technically (from a trading standpoint) and fundamentally (from a project and news standpoint) undervalued right now and just purchased 1 million on Poloniex with a 0.000017 average (Cashed out a minor part of my Ether crowdsale holdings). Just wanted to say hi here and will be following the thread.
If you want to buy a lot of BTS, our site BlockTrades probably can get you better prices, and it's much safer than trading on a centralized exchange (your money doesn't sit for long outside of your wallet). See the link below in my signature...

General Discussion / BlockTrades supports new Litecoin pairs
« on: July 31, 2015, 08:55:32 pm »
You can now directly purchase BTS, BitCNY, and BitUSD with Litecoin on http://blocktrades.us. Once we've built up a significant balance of LTC we will add the reverse directions as well (e.g BTS -> LTC).

404
Currently we support:
DOGE -> BTS,BitUSD,BitCNY,NOTE

and

BTS -> DOGE

We don't have many outgoing pairs for DOGE yet, because we don't yet have much DOGE, but we'll add more pairs as we gain some liquidity there.

General Discussion / Re: BlockTrades pricing engine updated
« on: July 27, 2015, 05:08:36 pm »
If you're looking to buy some BTS, now's a great time to check out the new prices we can offer!
.. on it :D

edit: the robots are somewhat out-dated .. this is what is used today and in graphene: jdenticon.com
Yes, we have jidenticons in the "new GUI", but we didn't want to rollout too many updates at once. We plan to update to the new GUI today or tomorrow (we completed that work a while back, but we're fairly conservative about updates to code that is working and we rated the market engine improvements as the most important).

Are you guys integrating with the Cryptonomex web-wallet or MoonStone?
Yes, we are integrating with several wallets, including the Cryptonomex wallet, as well as bitshares-related websites. We haven't talked with Moonstone guys yet, but we're certainly open to integrating with them as well.

@dannotestein : let me know if i can assist on the new blocktrade web UI ... happy to assist!
We'll almost certainly want to take you up on that offer before too long, cass. The current GUI update is a mostly "invisible" one from the user-perspective, since it's mainly a change in the way we dynamically create the content (this also gives a performance boost in the rendering, although that's not really a significant factor in the simple GUI we have now). In fact, the biggest visual change I can think of is the replacement of the robots with the jidenticons that xeroc mentioned. So, while there's been a lot of changes behind that little blue cube, they don't show much on the surface :-)
