I have started a tutorial to help guide people through setting up BTSBots and becoming market makers.  Thank you for inspiring me and all you and your app have done for the community!

I'd love support: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@scythian/dex-market-maker-tutorial-bits-and-btsbots

I won't be doing a lot of transactions with a multisig account, but the fees are kind of high.  Especially when you consider the amount of effort it takes someone to learn how to run a BTS multisig account safely.

Can we get them lower?

The more volume of anything on the DEX can only help in the long run.   Paying interest to large stake holders does work, look at what it did for Dash and their masternodes.  Keeping 75% of total supply bonded in a voluntary transparent way offers much needed comfort/trust and it really does buffer the huge sell pressure the centralized exchanges (all incentive for DEX to fail) can inflict on a newly budding BTS market bull run.

Increasing our total supply in bitUSD makes sense because it is the most well known fiat across the globe, which for 99% of the world that thinks about value with those terms we should exploit it.  We all know fiat's days are numbered, but what other platform could serve a better bridge for the masses.  I would be happy to collateralize all my BTS and increase MM in all top markets if I knew I would get a little interest on the effort and would think would even feel better about selling other crypto when I normally wouldn't.

Another option is going after other well known fiats that are not often paired with BTC like GBP.  Although with Tether starting to unravel, having bitUSD there with a big exit sign (Large liquidity) ready seems the more prudent thing at this time.

All in all the witnesses stand to benefit the most from the increase in BTS value.  So it seems logical that Witnesses could show their strong belief and support in BitShares by storing  bit***  in their account.  We as voters could start to look at things like that and adjust our votes accordingly.   The higher the BTS held on the DEX in collateral BitUSD (or whatever) means the weaker competing centralized exchange capital power has manipulating BTS.  We just need to breakthrough the liquidity threshold in several markets before the slow trickle of new users becomes a massive flood into the DEX.  The banking pressure/friction being applied to central exchanges right now is making it the perfect opportunity to work together to use one of BitShares unique features to solve a massive problem for the traders who have no interest in going back into fiat (although they really can on the DEX as well).

Hey guys,

it has been a while and I have been busy with all the BlockPay development. In the meantime, I worked together with the design team of myfable and we worked out the following new design mockup for bitshares.org

What do you think about the design?
The next step now is to get a second design for one of the subsides for Private Consumers and Business Clients. I will also get a dev bid for all of you and see how much it would cost to develop the site in a short time.

cheers Chris

I really appreciate the effort and will be voting for any worker proposal I see from your team.  The main landing page for Bitshares is a tough one.....since it can be seen and used in so many different ways and by so many different types of users.  I think something very clean, very simple that can break down the different choices available to future users would be most helpful.  So then the site/information can expand based on the user's goals/expectations/skill-level.

Thanks again!

I have voted to approve this worker proposal.  I cannot thank you enough for your hard work and time.

These videos are worth 1000 fold their cost to have done.
