Sounds like an interesting idea to explore.  Virtualgrowth exchanges various crypto with other users already and think it would be beneficial to explore offering services like this more.

Good communications on the subject of NDA's.

Idea to throw out there.  What if we require or work towards FDA's as Full-Disclosure Agreements instead.  So as to make agreements in such a manner that all matters may be comfortably disclosed in and towards the spirit of open understanding.  Much of which seems to be what we are progressing to (more) open technologies and ways of doing things.

For example possibly responding to the Non-Disclosure with a Full-Disclosure idea moving our and their ways of doing things in a more open manner so as to not or initially less of ideas of not disclosing some aspects of things.  Rather think and learn what and how to disclosure more still within the proper interests of those involved.  Mostly food for thought as we discover and explore new ways of doing things together.

Great to hear! Look forward to more.  And of course ZEPH soon enough.

Look forward to more details.

Looking around for documentation updates to help possibly work on solutions towards updates I found one that appears to have been updated just yesterday!

BTS Tools Documentation by Nicolas Wack
https://media.readthedocs.org/pdf/bts-tools/latest/bts-tools.pdf
Release 0.4.14

QuoteThe BTS Tools will help you build, run and monitor any graphene-based client (currently BitShares, Steem, Muse, PeerPlays).

QuoteIf you like these tools, please vote for witness wackou on the Steem, BitShares and Muse networks. Thanks!

You may find more on my recent post on steemit.  Thank you to those that have assisted with updating the graphene documentation that will be of great help and value to many.

Like the sounds of these ideas to some degree but don't like the continuous interest rate.  Anything with an interest rate may destroy itself after thirty cycles.  Whatever those cycles may be.  Brings me back to a special asset that I have been thinking about for longer than bitcoin has been around.  May have to dig up those notes and further explore something that would be between the USD and HERO that may not has so much interest pressure.  But more of a mechanism that minimizes the long tern interest destruction factor that I have some long term concern of.

Good bump, surely an idea to think more about.  As a decentralized exchange it would make sense to try to have some of the more attractive creative assets since we have the ability to create forms of creative assets with bitshares functionality.

Noticing that the bitshares documentation could be using updated, would like to present the idea of getting feedback on how to best get this done.

Main questions are the following:

Who is available to update the bitshares documentation?
When can this be done?
How long might this take?
What is the estimated cost?
Who will lead the worker proposal?
How to vet the worker to lead the documentation effort?
Apptrade is seeking to learn more about Cryptonomex and Bitsapphire
What is your experience with them?
Why did you choose to work with them?
Do you know someone in that team to get in contact with?

Great to hear it and looking forward to it.

Invested and look forward to more.  Also if a group may want to invest together I may offer to help manage such interest.  Keep up the great work peerity! :)

Will be presenting an idea for a trading contest on bitshares that I and others seemed to have been thinking about for some time.  Different than HERO, would like to present an idea that is with less risk.  Will be sharing more details tomorrow morning on Beyond Bitcoin Hagnout #215.

Bitshares Trading Contest Pre-Announcement Idea
virtualgrowth[/member]/bitshares-trading-contest-pre-announcement-idea]https://steemit.com/trading-contest/@virtualgrowth/bitshares-trading-contest-pre-announcement-idea

FTP / PTP - Free to Play or Pay to Play

Two choices are of being FTP, Free to play, or PTP, Pay to Play.  Would like feedback on which is preferred.  So please vote on the option below for initial feedback and I will also ask during the hangout.  In either case it will be pay to play once the contest starts as participants while have to trade for more tokens to win.  But there is the initial choice that Free to Play may be offered.

Initial entry price will be between FREE / 0 and about 1 STEEM, 1 SBD, or 10 bitshares (BTS).

Tracking Profits of Traders

Have decided to abandon the idea of tracking profits or progress in such a traditional manner as this seems to difficult to consider.  Then on top of this there can be deposits and withdrawals and trades in other trading pairs which make such tracking too difficult.

Size of Trading Accounts

Everyone has different sized trading accounts.  To control this variable my thought is to issue the same amount of tokens to each participant.  Then everyone has essentially one trading unit to try to trade up from.

Buy Back & Float

With one token this contest will be continuous.  In seeking a flexible solution the idea will be to allow participants to hold on to tokens as long as they want.  So the "Buy Back" will be optional at most times during trading contest with current thinking.  Thought is to offer different prices over the course of each contest window with a price that will rise and fall over time.

At the end of each period all the tokens in the contest may be exchanged for some rate that will be announced that may be about 80% of the overall prize pool with 20% being reserved for the winning top token holders during each trading period.

Prizes / Winners

Currently thinking to reward about the top 10% of participants with about 20% of the prize pool.  Liquid STEEM from this post will go towards funding the reward pool.  Time frame of contests will be one week.  Winners will have to send all of their trading contest tokens in to get their portion of the prize pool.  This will have winners starting the next cycle with zero tokens.  Then participants may choose to exchange their tokens any time with other participants or the trading contest account that will be offering various amounts through the contest always providing some exchange price on the open market for all tokens currently in the trading contest.

Token distribution

Token distribution for this Bitshares Trading Contest will occur during the Beyond Bitcoin Hangout and/or After Party.

Contest Announcement

The contest will be announced by another account to be announced during the hangout.  You will be able to sign up in the comments section with your bitshares name and payment instructions will be presented unless it is to be free to play.

Trading contest mechanics

Trading tokens will have a transaction fee so you will not want to trade them too much.  If you hold on to them they will be worth 80% of some potential value.  However if you trade for more you will increase your chances of winning more.  The contest will be to trade these tokens relative to price movements of crypto in respect to potential value of having enough tokens to win a portion of the trading contest reward pool reserved for about the top 10% of token holders.

Welcome all feedback with the alpha version of this trading contest idea.  Hope many find interest and value in this new idea of mine which combines numerous interests and passions of mine with crypto, games, investing, and trading while providing a way for others to learn and get rewarded.

Greatly interested and supportive of this idea of a local bitshares peer to peer service with escrow as I feel this would be very valuable to our community and would love to lend my assistance if I may of any.

Great job @MrWang in getting to this point through the fruits of your hard work and never ending persistence.  Look forward to working with you on some level as may need be and lend assistance if, where, and when ever I may.  Wish you the best in your adventure with crypto and continued growth and success. ~ virtualgrowth

Thank you guys! :)

Just want to say great to see the idea of an explorer being discussed and worked on.
