Changing the rules seems like a bad idea. Ever since the beginning, it's been said that there is a price floor for bitAssets that a user/merchant can count on.

Having said that, I think there is insufficient proof of demand - a poll of 12 results hardly counts as a empiric proof that there is really demand. I'm also missing proper research, how would Bitshares benefit if it was implemented or how is Bitshares suffering at the moment when that change is not implemented right now? A economic change like this needs proper due dilligence.

I hear you .. thanks for making this very clear.  Of course this will not go on the mainnet with issues like this.

Thank you - please take an extra look at usability. Errors like this will alienate potential customers and there's a large risk that users might loose funds because of issues with the receipt so we need to be extra careful that this does not happen.

I'll be very happy to test/review any changes to the usability. Just hit me on telegram/slack anytime!

I would ask as a normal user.

What's a private account?
What's a public account?
What's a private contact?

Why do I need to use stealth at all? As I user I have no knowledge what a blockchain is and that transactions are all public by default. We need to publish documentation WITHIN the client with little tooltips (What is this?)

And I'm not aware that I need to keep this little receipt and give it to the sender, how would I know that?

You may be right, but I still think the interface is way too unintuitive for the average 'early adaptor' - nobody knows the difference between ~ACCOUNT and ACCOUNT unless they've read this thread, it is not documented anywhere. Especially more documentation about the receipt is needed otherwise funds are really in danger of being lost!

After discussing with svk in telegram, I know now how it works.

Issues.

1) You should not be able to add your own public key as contact, it shows 'missing' in your private account then
2) The receipt only shows in the console, but it should be in the dialogue
3) Entering the receipt works, but it should display more details like how much has been received
4) The balance is only shown in the transfer page, and only there if you do a refresh of the page (and unlock)
5) I would expect to see ALL my balances in the dashboard, including my private balances.
6) There is no link to send txs to private contacts, but there is a link for private accounts to send from. Inconsistent.

EDIT:

7) I created a new private account and tried to transfer funds from my public account to ~test3 (my private account). Got a receipt in the console which I tried to enter in 'Receive'. Getting this error in the console: Error: Missing required field: Label is required unless a private key is provided(…)

My personal opinion:

I decided against creating a worker proposal to develop features on the BTS UI because of the current anti-dilution discussion and the proposed $50-$150 worker creation fee.

I'm working on a react project at work so I should be more than qualified to contribute, but I can't be bothered to pay $50 - $150 so alt and his supporters can vote any legit proposal down, regardless of the actual nature and content of the proposal. Of course, it's up to the shareholders to decide, but voting down proposals just because you can and dislike dilution really scares away people, especially if they're going to loose money because of this.

My point is:

This is already a hostile environment towards freelance workers, and I'd rather invest my time finding projects at the free market that can pay me MUCH better and I don't have to deal with emotions and politics. My 2 cents.

The current german translations says 'WE ACCEPT' but you probably would want to say 'HIER AKZEPTIERT'

so either it's WIR AKZEPTIEREN SMARTCOINS (text first) or SMARTCOINS HIER AKZEPTIERT (text last)

Theres no reason to create bitassets right now. you lock up 300% in funds. you maybe force settled at a price you don't like.
You have zero guarantee you will be able to buy buy back your bitassets at a decent price and pay off your debts to retrieve your collateral.

This. We need documentation how to operate the bitasset market, how to provide liquidity. We have to describe how market participants can profit from the DEX, otherwise liquidity will stay as it is now. Shorting right now is a sure way to produce a monetary loss.

I think there should be incentive for the LTM program - that includes the ability to use advanced features of the network, including referring new users, using the bond market, stealth transactions etc. All that can come in addition to the actual reduced fees.
