it never ceases to stun me how many shareholders just say "screw it, let someone else pay for it" then wonder why bitshares only has a small handful of devs when it coukd become a Mecca for them. 

About that :

"(3) This is what we currently know about the possibility of introducing a transfer fee threshold related to the BTS value being transferred:

Actually this question never got answered (please let me know if it was) though it has been proposed on several occasions, e.g.:

a transaction with value <= 1000 BTS you have to pay say 5 BTS
if it is higher the normal transaction transfer fee will be applied"

I think the actual fees prevent any way of small purchase. Tips, coffee, newspaper, ...
Any merchant would ever accept to lose about 0.1€ on a 1,2€ coffee.

Lower the fees for small transaction would be a solution

I also think that there could be another way to do that with 0 bts fees. It could be done with something like Sharebits who would integrade a super simple android/ios wallet with just 3 functions : send / deposit / withdraw. It would be centralised but it doesn't matter because nobody would ever keep big sums of money there. It would be like a day to day wallet, something like having 20€ change in your pocket.
It could be use to tip, coffee, ...
When using the "mini wallet" try to send  to a real BTS address, it would create a new address in its database based on the same name of the BTS one and send the tip there. Nobody would have even to create an account on the wallet to receive tips.

Is something like that in your plans @fuzzy ?

 

Ronny and I have talked about some of this stuff with Freebie.  Sharebits really does seem to be becoming the yin to bitshares yang because not only does it kind of rebrand the use of the word "shares" to something that another demographic (those who enjoy sharing) use it and bring more people onboard...but it also does have this benefit of helping "bypass" the referral system fees to a degree...which has some nice benefits (though like you said before, it shouldn't be an account that holds much money at any given time).

ShareBits integration could make it so CCEDK/Open Ledger Accounts to be able to send directly to their nanocard and convert to whatever they want at the time of purchase...or another example is our talks with bitteaser who is trying to build a presence in the google adsense sector using bitcoin.  Some big stuff, but of course I have no clue what the outcomes of those conversations will be until I find out more.  @xeroc has some ideas on how to do some cool things with sharebits and an API for it.  I think perhaps he would be a good person to talk to since he is the technical person talking about this with aliana from bitteaser...so I should stop at where I can no longer give you 100% certainty. 

So it seems that if there is too much volume, Sharebits doesn't create the confirmation post.

interesting.  thank you btw for the merry xmas

i would have gladly given it if id been asked.  however dont forget that dacplay forums can integrate with the sharebot and even muse and play.

Thank you EstefanTT! Merry Christmas to you too!

biggest test of the sharebot yet.  lets see what happens!

why not? Cause i don't have any BTS to hold .. unfortunately i had to sell them over the past weeks  to get some private related challenge solved

Man it sucks when the core devs dont have any stake in the project

tbh yes, it's not the best motivation .. but i will publish a worker proposal soon..

Good. And dump more. 

lol ---  .. or stop contributing .. i don't know what's better choice for BTS .. stakeholder should decide it ..
(and who says i will sell them, don't you think, as i'm contributing nearly 2.5 years now ... i'm not a believer?
Maybe u are right, i will rethink my consideration again ... as i don't want to dump 1 BTS if possible )


Merry Xmas ...

what makes dpos amazing is that it gives the community surrounding a project the ability to decide how to distribute their tokens.  to me the people who build and work for bitshares should be given tokens in the system.  there is no better way to distribute.  people for some reason forget that while they complain others are carrying weight and moving constantly to help bring value to bitshares...then i see people just make ridiculous comments like this. 

please good sir show me what you have done lately.  what sacrifices have you made personally? and dont tell me you pay by losing money.  in this space it is absurd to think its going to be all upside all the time. :/
