I would like to know the reasoning behind why the mumble hangouts would be bad.That is also my impression!
As far as I can remember it was mostly stuff on the blog, the forums and press quotes that caused pr problems.
Not only have some mumble sessions helped clear up a lot of issues, I also find the hangouts a better way to keep track of what's going on than trying to find the information spread out in threads on the forums.
Welcome back!

There it is. It was not blue like the rest of the fields/text so I overloked it. But I also have say to I easily overlooks such things https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=14423.msg187633#msg187633Ok. that makes sense.I thought a Bitasset can be created by anyone -> then needs 51 price feeds for it -> then it has a market.I support this as an easy way to attract interest from a huge community. I also think we should add Ripple as a market pegged asset. The best solution would be to simply replace OIL and DIESEL with DOGE and RPY in a future hard-fork. Those two are proving impossible to get started and we'd be much better off having Ripple and Doge.what do you mean by a future hard fork?
A client update requiring a hard fork, like most of the client updates.
Is it instead the developers (Vikram) decides what Bitassets there are?
No you're right, anyone can create them, but to make XRP you need to pay 500k BTS in order to make an asset you have no control over, so it'll never happen.
However we used to have PPC, LTC and others but those were changed in a hard-fork and replaced with DIESEL and OIL. What I'm proposing is to remove the useless OIL and DIESEL assets and replace them with something useful.
And why doesnt it say here that BitGOLD is an ounce of Gold?
Where? The asset description for GOLD is "1 troy ounce .999 fine gold"

11.5 wamslol indeed. added to best quotes.. the question wasnt bad either though!
Answer here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=946174.msg10582076#msg10582076So you are saying the Mercury wallet as it is today is "extremely dangerous"? If so I didnt understand why.
With the current setup of Bitcoin, you would need to wait just above 100 confirmations to do secure ACCT (Atomic Cross Chain Trading). This would be 1 full round of all delegates for DPOS (about 15-20 minutes atm). These intervals don't make sense for trading. For ACCT to become viable for any chain (without waiting too much) you need a PBFT or PBFT-like real-time Consensus and Ordering Protocol (COP) on top of the main blockchain to make ACCT viable.
That, or the light client trading server does Paypal-like fraud detection and compensates counterparty risk accordingly with pretty high trading fees (anywhere from 0.5-4% of each transaction).
