Wow this looks amazing! By far the greatest exposure for our community ever.

What FollowMyVote is doing is so important not just for Bitshares but for the world. Great job team. Be sure to document the trip for us. It would be great to get an inside view of your experience there.

Safe travels.

Whose wall is that @1230? Could it be a bts long? Or is it a fake wall that is going to get pulled at the worst moment? If it is the short we need to make sure it never gets there. When will the short covering begin? I thought the short positions in the precious metals market was bad.

Im not sure the last time i've seen a downtrend like this. Its astonishing.

Sovereign Man / Simon Black is very tight with his email list..  He does not promote any affiliate offers.  He is however pro bitcoin and there is a slight chance.   Doug Casey is affirmatively anti crypto-currency.

Jeff Berwick of the Dollar Vigilante would be a pro cryptocurrency possibility as well.

Not sure exactly how Bytemaster worded it, but there were a few moments for comments regarding what people liked about the new changes, but time is always very limited in the mumble sessions. We have had plenty of the negative so far, and the share price has kind of put a temporary damper on things.  :'(

Let's see some things that we thought were more positive. And get some momentum back.

How do I import my keys from my AGS donations into Openledger? Doesn't seem to work for me. What's the best way to do this?

Can anyone help me out. Im trying to import my keys into openledger to claim my balances from the ags donations.

I didn't do much at all with my bitsharesx client. So I thought I would try it in Openledger. I got my account up and running. I looked on the forums for instructions and pretty much did what they said. And imported the keys but it keeps saying:

Error claiming balance: Error: Empty buffer

I've never done anything like this before. Help!

There seems to be an enormous amount of bts on Polo either short or just for sale at ever lower prices. At this pace the shorts can just keep running the stops and keep covering at little risk. Where is the demand for bts as collateral?

Interesting facts:

Poloniex sell order total: 25,313,531 BTS
Balance of the account "poloniexwallet": 12,687,090 BTS
Difference: 12,626,441 BTS

https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/account/poloniexwallet

What the...

It's OK...a person can trade his total balance multiple times par day. add to that the margin trading and it is about normal... actually even 3.5 bigger than their total balance would be on days like the last several.

[edit]
ohh you mean the order book alone? They probably have several accounts....but definitely more suspicious.

Polo has most definitely more than 12.5m bts on exchange. That's not very much at all. Wouldn't an exchange need multiple wallets for security anyways? I seriously doubt anything noteworthy is going on there.

@kingjohal

If you feel hesitant try staggering your buys. I try to buy and sell in at least 2-3 steps. And always keep a little btc on hand. That way you'll never feel totally disappointed if the price falls. You get to buy a bit on sale. No need to go all in, especially at one price point.

In your guys honest opinion human to human...if I have 30 btc left is it worth going all in BTS or do I have a very high risk of losing all of this 30 btc

If you are thinking of going all in long on margin?  No do not do it.

If you are thinking of buying and holding a bunch of BTS, not on margin?  That is exactly what I have done with all my BTC.

But you are responsible for whatever you do with your money.

Im not interested in margins or anything. Just buying and holding. This is what I'm thinking about doing. I'll sleep on it.

If you're buying and holding, and you its money you don't need right away, I say go for it. Fortune favors the bold. And actually the price is far too low for the majority of shares to get dumped. At worst if we go back down to historic lows we dump down to 1500 range. We haven't even doubled. Just look at the 52 week chart. We are no where near all time highs. I suspect your time in the troll box is making you indecisive. If you can afford to hold it. Bts right here right now is a ridiculously cheap bet. If you're feeling cautious just put some low buy orders in and see if margin calls reach your order. Traders are gonna trade. Take advantage. But check back in a few months and I think you will be rewarded.

I'm looking for a dedicated device to just hold my bts wallet on. I don't want to risk getting hacked. It's a substantial amount of bts as I have accumulated since 2013. Does anyone have a recommendations?

I was even thinking of buying a separate laptop just for this purpose. Is that overkill?

Feel kind of dumb asking but it's a genuine concern that I have regarding this uninsured crypto world.

I don't think it's an overkill, but on the other hand I don't think it could be wise to spent $600 in order to secure $2000, in this scenario you could probably use a dual boot system and be ok. Also I don't think it could be a bad idea to keep a small fraction of your funds in the dual boot system even if you have the laptop. I'm also curious about what other people think..

Yeah its much more than $2000. I just want to know what the best practice is. Especially when I'm referring my friends, I need to know what to recommend.

BitShares 2.0 will make it alot easier to secure your funds .. you can use hierarchical corporate accounts then (tutorial will follow ASAP)

Thanks xeroc. I'm not a computer guy and this is probably the main barrier to entry for a lot of older folks. Who generally have most of the money. I'll be looking for this.
