The number of witnesses is dynamicly defined from the number of witnesses that thare voted by the BTS holders.
Its up to them to vote for more witnesses.

Stakeholder Proposals / Re: Pay USD workers with fees collected in USD
« on: March 22, 2018, 07:26:38 am »
That is great!

Also, given the current 15% premium on bitUSD and the need for the workers to buy bitUSD to cover workers, we maybe find a win-win solution. Here is what currently happens.

the workers.bitshares.foundation account obtains BTS and uses them to buy bitUSD off the markets paying a premium of up to 15% some times.
This "leaks" profits to those that short bitUSD and sell at <15% premium and improves the liquidity. This profit is paid by the reserve funds!
In a sense, we could say that the reserve subsidizes liquidity. Personally, I don't have a problem with this, but from an economical point of few, it
would be much better for the BitShares ecosystem if there was a cheaper source for bitUSD for the workers.

The question I would like to ask is this: Should the worker account rather pay a premium to improve volume (not liquidity - it's actually taking liquidity)
or should the worker trade against committee-owned funds at feed price?

Voted!! Looking forward to working with you.

Please let me know when you have been approved so I can grant you access to the internal committee-only subforums.

I have voted for clockwork's worker since he proved himselve reliable on the testnet
I also intend to approve the committee proposal of xiaoshan

Why is domain costs listed as $15k when they were already purchased? Did you purchase them from 3rd parties? Who paid for that?

bitshares.legal, bitshares.works and bitshares.exchange don't have domain information public, why? Who owns them now?
Those domains have been obtained by ChainSquad GmbH out of pocket. The .exchange domain was the most expensive in
the set with >$10k that were paid to the original owner.
The domain information is not public since the domain is supposed to be migrated to the BitShares Blockchain Foundation
after covering the costs for those domains. The domain bitshares.foundation is somewhat special because it is handed over
to the BBF for usage while the costs are still covered by ChainSquad GmbH.
UItimately, I (as the CEO of ChainSquad GmbH) want those domains to be owned by BBF and my own costs covered.

I suggest the team add extra budget to improve SEO for bitshares.foundation. The reason why those lawyers, exchange and any parties want to contact Bitshares will go bitshares.org because bitshares.org is listed as Top One when Google Search "Bitshare".
I would ask the web devs to do the basic SEO, thanks for letting us know.

The cost should not be "up to $15k" but should be an already-known number.
The domain costs are fixed - the other items are budgets for development

When can we vote on this ?
Actually, the blockchains knows this worker already. A bug in the UI prevents users from voting on it. A fix for this has been merged already and I hope the web devs can make an "early" release

also, will this websites be available fully open under MIT in github ? so we can clone them, send pull requests ? i understand the .legal maybe will not accept pull requests but the others ?
Whatever the community pays will be published Open Source on github.
We intend to make heavy use of jekyll and sphinx.
Those repos will all be placed in the bitshares organization (like committee.bitshares.works repo)

Hello, I would like to get the following example from the PyBitshares documentation [1] to work:

Code: [Select]
   
    from bitshares import BitShares
    bitshares = BitShares()
    bitshares.wallet.unlock("wallet-passphrase")
    bitshares.transfer("<to>", "<amount>", "<asset>", "[<memo>]",
                        account="<from>")

Although this is not the meat of my problem, you cannot supply keyword parameters after positional parameters. Therefore the call to
Code: [Select]
.transfer() cannot have
Code: [Select]
account=<from> parameter at the end.
Surprise to me. Keywork parameters have to come after positional arguments in python.

Anyway, moving on to the real issues, it seems that before you can get this example to work, you need to decide on a wallet operation model (Wallet Database, Provide Keys, Force Keys). For this discussion, I would like to focus on providing keys.

The Bitshares constructor [2] accepts a `keys` parameter whose value may be an array, dictionary or string. This leads to the following questions:

1 - what is a wif key? What does "wif" stand for?
Wallet Import Format - it's the "usual" way of providing a private key ... they look like this:
5JmQw8nM4kS8XHMagco6JhJV2jiBdvj1Q2oUmtCBhA8CFm8AKUL

Quote
2 - Where would I access the private key for an OpenLedger account? Please provide a precise navigation sequence.
Account Menu -> Permissions -> Active Key -> (click the bold key) -> show wif key

Quote
3 - Where would I access the private key for a Crypto-Bridge account? Please provide a precise navigation sequence.
same as above -  if you use the same account on both platforms, there is no need to do the process twice.

Quote
4 - Once I find the private key how does one supply it? The docs state the types of things that the `keys` parameter accepts, but it does not show how to supply it.

try this
Code: [Select]
from bitshares import BitShares
bitshares = BitShares()
bitshares.wallet.create("secret-passphrase")
bitshares.wallet.addPrivateKey("<wif-key>")

Quote
After looking at the wallet documentation [3] I have a few more questions:

1 - after adding a private key, does PyBitshares automatically know which Bitshares account it belongs to?
For instance, if I add the private keys for the the bitshares user bev123 [4] am I able to call getActiveKeyForAccount [5] and supply 'bev123' as the name of the account?
Yes - the library figures this out automatically.

That error tells me you'r public keys have a wrong format.
Are you running on BitShares? What's your config looking like?

Dear community,

I'd like to update the community on a new plan that the BBF would like to pursue in the next months:

    http://www.bitshares.foundation/workers/2018-04-general-presentation

This forum thread is for public discussion.
Please don't hesitate to give feedback!

Still same error for me.
The issue is actuall on openssl binary since the default does not use SNI which is required on the haproxy.
To make it work you need to specify the SNI domain:

openssl s_client -connect eu.nodes.bitshares.works:443 -servername eu.nodes.bitshares.works

We've identified the issue with the certificate and now have a A+ rating:

This will ultimately raise a few questions about the STEALTH token which is a FeeBacked Asset that has been given by Dan for the development of Stealth. If the backend devs where to continue its development using funds from the reserves, it would only be fair to re-evaluate how well those that currently hold STEALTH (those that have interest in its development and usage), performed in the last 2-3 years.
For me, it never made sense to work on STEALTH only so that some other people (STEALTH holders) can earn money of it.
If solely implemented by the bitshares-core dev worker proposal then non-FBA is appropriate, otherwise fair enough. There'd be nothing stopping the copy/pasting of the stealth code without the FBA though right?
In a hardfork, yes.
But that requires (as usual) a BSIP and the approval of BTS holders.

I object to chris4210 advising anybody about anything  :o
As you can see from the linked document, the invitation covers the Committee as it is approved by the BTS holders. This also means, that it is up to the BTS holders to decide WHO that is. Of course, as votes come and go, the Advisory Board changes. 

On a technical note, the minimum number of committee members is 11, this will force the blockchain to approve the top 11 voted committee members. If BTS holders want to change members, there is a) the option of removing votes and b) getting someone else receive more votes.
