It's a pity I didn't receive any newsletter about such an important event, does anybody know if there is any weekly or biweekly newsletter about BitShares?

there's only a very irregular newsletter released by I3/BitShares/Stan

I imagine that newsletter is not the same as the one in dacsunlimited.com ?

Newsletters are hard to write during periods when we have a high rate of evolution.
As soon as we have converged onto a final consensus about the "merger", then we can write it up for everyone.  (We now have the additional requirement that all such communications get triply vetted by experienced PR experts before they are released.)

I totally understand that writing newsletters during hectic development is difficult but I also think that communication is very important and the forums is not a good news channel as there is too much information to be processed as a weekly or monthly source of news on Bitshares.
Maybe twitter is a better source for news without waiting for a curated PR release.
I will try with twitter.com/bitshareshub and twitter.com/_bitshares

Thanks a lot for this post, I completely missed the discussion and even the vote.

Between the two wikis below I understood a little more how to actually vote:
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DPOS
http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/BitShares_X_Solutions#Voting

But I'm still unclear on how the payrates work and what the percentages in the GUI mean for each delegate, besides being reliable, why should I choose one or another delegate?

I'll also like to see a wiki explaining how the system actually works.
I read the theory but in practice it has a lot more tiny implementation details that I'm missing.
I can't find in the forums a post or wiki page that explains how the participation in the voting works, what do I contribute as a Stake holder when voting, how long does a vote last, etc...


I have found http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Bitshares-x-delegate-how-to
But this is a technical guide to install and configure both client and server, no explanation of what they do or how they work.
