interesting, I was under the impression freebieservers had more influence. in the end 0 teams signed up...?

We've been solely focusing on gamebet.gg for the past few days. This is metric from 2 days of taking sign ups.
I decided not to move forward with the tournament until we launched 2 key projects (gamebet & gambit) as they use Bitshares heavily and it made no sense to have the tournament until the projects were launched. I'll get back to promoting Bitshares as these pieces fall in place.

We had close to 400 bets being placed in our alpha test mode. I'll share metrics later.

when will TBTC , TDOGE coming 

I don't think it's necessary to peg a unstable currency.

It would be great to get back to a dividend because I really want to see a bitshares bank. I would stitch over in a heartbeat.

But also look at what we have now - 3 second transaction times. I'd saywe're better placed now despite the mkt cap. I just think we have presentation issues.

Do you recall why it was taken away in the first place?

Ok i'm done doing it in 7 min.  Imagine how much more effect it would have it an entire group of people used the tools available to them to do the same.  I mean if they realllly really wanted to have this tech recognized and tinkered around with by some of the people making decisions to use Emercoin...

Emercoin must have had a group of determined people...and they dont have our tools...so do we have any excuses?

I think the optimism is great but what product or service are you selling them? Atm BTS just lets you send tokens back and forth.

REFERRER: Well if you join today and go through the whole process of buying BitShares we'll let you send these currently useless tokens back and forth for $0.2

DUDE: Wow! Golly, golly gosh! Only $0.2 to send useless tokens back and forth! I can't wait to tell my friends about BitShares!

Sending anyone BTS is pretty futile, this is why the referral programme isn't producing results and the daily transaction numbers are stagnant.


Once we have tightly pegged Smartcoins that will be huge. But at the moment this rudimentary PM is the first thing that resembles a product or service. https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,21104.0.html

"BTS lets you bet on the outcome of the NFL, which no other blockchain does yet!"  That at least is something.

Link me when you have done it for a  or COPPERTICKET

As for optimism...we have the fastest, most scalable chain in existence.  There is a reason to get that into these people's hands. And 9 of them don't get it the 10th will.  Its call persistence and this attititude that sitting and doing nothing but complain about how bitshares needs to be better doesn't bring new eyes and talent. 

Why not use the tools we have available to bring recognition of the real achievements BitShares has made?

I just imagine if I posted this on Emercoin's forum(thread)....would I have an army of people helping me?  Or would they say "we have little to offer"?  Something tells me an optimist got Azure using Emercoin...but who knows...maybe it was complaining on their forum that did it.

It's fast, yes but if there's no product or service on the chain yet, then you're just able to send shares back and forth fast.

It's scalable, yes, but there's no significant product or service on it for Azure's BAAS to value yet. Even when Stealth is completed it will just be shares that you can send back and forth privately.

Read my last posts, I'm actively spending my time thinking of ways & solution to help BitShares be successful. Most of them revolve around improving and focusing on products and services like Smartcoins and PM's. Improving these actual products and services is what I personally think will get us on BAAS the fastest.

(Once we have lower fees and more tightly pegged Smartcoins, I think the share/tip bot will be a very positive service as well.)

However I don't think sending these tokens around now will have much effect as demonstrated by 3 months of the referral programme. If you think that is a positive activity and beneficial to BitShares, even though I think it's futile, I know your heart is in the right place, so I think that's great and I wish you luck with it as you say maybe every 10th person will be able to see the great potential.

It's not possible to buy etherium on dex right?
What should I do? Sell here and buy it on poloniex?
