you are trying to register a "subaccount" for matt608 and obvisouly do not have the account loaded into the wallet

if you want to register "foo.bar" you're required to also have "bar" in the wallet

Ah I see so using a "." between the words has an actual purpose, its not just a convention.  I was just trying to create a new account and fund it from my other one, I didn't know anything about 'subaccounts'.  So I could just create a new account without the "." and fund it from the other one and register it?

Found this,

which is useful.

I'm trying to register a new account and have sent it 1BTS from myself but when I click "register account" and then click "ok" nothing happens, it wont register it.  The popup window just stays there.  I can close it by clicking cancel, but clicking "ok" does nothing. 

Can anyone help?

I think there should be 4 : if I agree with the value proposition the delegate proposes , do I need him right here , right now ?

We actually have limited funding space though inflation , how to spend it wisely (not just on the right people , but the right project ) is a important matter . Of course we can take baby steps by falling over and over again and learn from it . But why should we do that when we can think harder and harder ten steps ahead . If it turns out after ten times of hard thinking and we still makes the same mistake , then at least we can tell the world :  That failure is out of our hand , because we did though it through .

I agree 100%. 

For the question 'do I need him right now', I say preparation time is needed right now for the certain propositions to come into fruition in time for maximum cost-efficieny.  The market cap argument goes both ways.  It's easier to lower it when its small, but its also easier for marketing to increase it.  $1000 well spent while the market cap is tiny has much more impact than $1000 well spent when the market cap is larger.

A final factor I would actually add, is:
What is the cost of voting against?  (not voting)

We need more than mere project boards, imo we need an independent website for 'bitshares jobs' to promote to the outside world, but a subforum will do for now.  We need delegates voted in with the specific role of 'hiring' so that all workers/employees don't have to become elected delegates themselves to get paid.  Pointing prospective developers to wrag-tag discussions about projects without a clear direction for them to get started isn't enough, we need job boards to promote to attract lots of talent.  Not to say hashing out the associated ideas etc shouldn't be done, of course lets facilitate that, but its not enough.  We need something 'presentable'.

Something needs to be done about expanding wish lists like this into a list of 'job offers' in a new sub forum which can be promoted outside of current Bitshares developers.  With comments like this starting to arrive:

And no where to specific to send them. 

People just say 'make a delegate for yourself' and give them a huge barrier to getting the work done, learning about delegates, setting one up, campaigning, paying a huge fee upfront.  It's crazy to make someone do that and it will just turn people away.  We need to have a few delegates with 100% pay voted in to be run by people who's responsibility is to hire developers for specific tasks. Bounties are no good because the worker never knows if they are going to get paid as there could be others working for the same bounty.

While the agreement between delegate + voter can be informal, consisting of campaign pledges rather than contracts, when a delegate hires someone else they need to have the option of offering a contract with a fixed amount bitUSD for the task, not requiring the worker become an elected delegate.  If delegates need to be legally defined to do this then we need a discussion about what delegates should be legally defining themselves as being.

I would eagerly vote for a trusted figures such as BM to have another delegate (or 2) pledged to be used entirely for hiring.

For marketing its a killer angle to have job openings working for a blockchain, even if they don't end up working for it directly (some will though).

We need job listings, at least 10 separate listings created in a new bitsharestalk subforum called of 'job openings', with the skills required and a task or small group of tasks. 

Once this is done and there's a delegate elected and ready to 'hire', this message can be blasted across the world at low cost because its such an awesome story.

I'm running as a marketing delegate and having this done would be hugely useful.  Some big traffic can be drummed up, and developer interest stirred up at the same time!

Please do it!

Tl/DR:

- We need funds available and ready to spent on hiring by a trusted figure (e.g. Bytemaster)
- A more comprehensive list of all desired tasks
- A new subforum where tasks are separated (reasonably) and its made to look like the feast of opportunity that it is.  This can then easily be promoted as a 'special place on the Internet' etc (+ can replace the bounty forum).
- Discussion about the legal definition of delegates.  Does the whole thing need to be informal?  That makes us 'slippery', hard to interact with the world.

Better yet start a whole new website for it.  It doesn't need to be a big coding enterprise.  A clone of Elance costs under $900:
http://www.agriya.com/products/freelancer-clone

We could set that up and have an in-house bitshares jobs site.  Only delegates have access to post jobs.  Simple.  If it gets busy enough it could even become an income source by turning on the listing fees.  There would just need to be a little of work on it to integrate bitUSD as a payment option and offer bonuses to employees to accepted payment in bitUSD.

This is the way to do it.  Get a site like that set up and then we can promote it to great effect.

I like your plans of marketing, they seem very promising.

Methox is running a 100% payrate delegate, and it seems Methox has planned a lot of promoting activities, but he is still in the stage of ability proving, instead of results enjoying.  So I doubt the community would agree to support two "unconfirmed" marketing teams at the same time, given the overlaps of your plan with Methox's.

Why don't you join his team first, and prove your ability there. What you asked (200USD per month) is just a small portion of Methox's income, I think he will welcome you. If in future, we really need more marketing teams, you may start a new team by then.

Thanks for the comments ripplexiaoshan, the thing is I'm not doing it for the 200 bitUSD, I'm doing this because I think it needs doing. 

How many articles would you propose to write in six months? And where would you post/publish them?

Six months is too far ahead to think for me in terms of article numbers, I'd prefer to keep estimates no more than 3 months as that's all my proposal covers.  The number of articles I write depends largely on article ideas and the quality of those ideas.  This week I've written 2 articles and my delegate pitch.  2 a week is 8 a month or 24 over 3 months.  To me that number sounds like a '****tonne' and its hard to imagine that many good article ideas to inspire me.  I mean quality articles, stuff thats good enough for very popular websites, not some crappy pumping with no substance.  I can't crank them out like a machine, they need to be populated by ideas.  That's why I went a safe estimate of 10 in 3 months.  Translated into Spanish and Chinese and the safe estimate gets 30. 

Chances are I could do a lot more than that, but I don't want to make any promises I might not be able to keep.  Thanks to the amazing community great ideas fly around here all the time so using community inspiration I could even end up writing more than 24.  For all I know I could get 10 good ones done in the first month.  But I'm just going to stick to a safe prediction of 10 in 3 months. 

Keep in mind its not an exact thing.  Articles can be modified to have a slightly different angle on them, in which case, is that 1 article or 2?

Where will they be published?  Wherever they can in a way best for the DAC.  MeTHoDx went straight ahead and published one to r/cryptocurrency, I was expecting to offer it to pop-tech blogs such as Wired as an exclusive but it turned out pretty well.  On Nullstreet there's a group of contributors in lncluding HPEnvy who help decide where to send the articles and what order to do things.  I certainly will aim for popular websites and leveraging social media to get the most out of each one.
