General Discussion / NuShares military tank to park outside Bitshares office
« on: June 11, 2016, 11:12:11 pm »
Saw this in Nushares chat today, referencing an old Sep 2015 custodial grant request
https://discuss.nubits.com/t/voting-custodial-grant-to-purchase-2s1-military-tank-for-nu-network/2806
I appreciate their jest.
It's good to have a sense of humor all the way around.

CoinGameLeader -- Sep '15
Dear shareholders,
As the network grows it will be imperative that we use any means necessary to help defend the peg. We have seen baseless attacks from various competing communities and we should position ourselves to withstand these attacks. I'm submitting a custodial grant to purchase a 2S1 Military tank from http://www.mortarinvestments.eu9. Here is the direct page6.
Included in the grant is the cost of purchasing the tank, demilitarizing the tank, getting a permit from the ATF to import it, costs of importing, black market remilitarizing, and shipping to park across the street from the Bitshares office with a giant NuBits flag posted on top. I cannot promise a timeline for all of this to be completed due to the various nuances of the plan described above. Be assured that it will be driven to completion with haste to the best of my abilities.
I appreciate their jest.
It's good to have a sense of humor all the way around.5
Technical Support / Is there no 32-bit Windows lightclient?
« on: June 08, 2016, 04:50:51 pm »Sometimes when I am away from my main computer, I use one of these tiny 7" mobile notebooks that is 32-bit on Windows 7 starter
I downloaded and installed this:
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/releases/download/2.0.160514/BitShares-light_2.0.160514.exe
Everything went smoothly including the install, until I tried to run the program.
Windows Error:
"The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows that you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you require an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the system publisher"
I know I can get a web wallet. I just hate depending on websites in case they go down or offline.
Would be nice if the github description explicitly said "64-bit" next to the Windows client, so I didn't have to download and install the whole thing, only to find out it doesn't work.

General Discussion / 404 Broken link on bitshares.org/download
« on: June 08, 2016, 04:21:36 pm »I did a google search for Bitshares wallet, google pointed me here:
http://bitshares.org/download/
I click "Windows"
It sends me to this link:
404 - file not found
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-2/releases/download/2.0.160524b/BitShares-light_2.0.160524b.exe
That can't be good. We're showing a 404 when people want to download a wallet.

General Discussion / Bitshares 2 - Volume summary, largest recent trades, something?
« on: April 24, 2016, 03:08:56 pm »I'm new to trading, so I'm probably using the wrong language.
But most centralized exchanges when you first login to them (think BTC-E or BITTREX) show you "at a glance" which coins are being traded the most, and recent movements.
This shows that trading is happening live, and where the excitement is..
However when I login to bitshares2-lite wallet. I don't get this "at a glance" update, which makes the whole experience very static. It gives the illusion that no one is trading, and that all markets are stuck and if I were the only one making a trade, well, I'd be the only one making the trade.
Now, I know I could go to cryptofresh.com and see this type of trading movement.
However, there's no ticker or anything inside of the bitshares 2 client that I can see that makes the client feel "alive".
I really think it would be nice if it could pull in an external feed from cryptofresh or similar.. Even something that gives a bit of info, and then to "see more" they could be directed to cryptofresh itself.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about, or am I just lost here.

General Discussion / Centralized exchanges are officially dead. BTS has the answer, but?
« on: December 19, 2015, 10:40:56 am »
So apparently if you trade on Cryptsy, as of recently, you can't expect to withdrawal your wealth.
Poloniex, the second contender to Cryptsy is all about KYC and official status. I have no idea how they are fairing during this Cryptsy outage.
Here is where BTS and decentralized trading matters......
I have a huge holding in a major altcoin that I'd like to convert, but shapeshift and similar projects don't offer a conversion.
Since Cryptsy and Poloniex have basically been limited (and sold to the regulation devil)
..and BTC-E doesn't carry my alt-coin...
Are we stale mated here in the alt coin trading world?
Of course it had to happen. The owner of altcoin decentralized exchanges had to make a few million dollars before the industry was regulated, and they registered themselves as KYC to keep it going as long as they could. However, they knew the moment they did that, it would create a problem for regular altcoin holders who just wanted to trade altcoins without all the red tape.
Then comes the flashlight in the dark.. people who have holdings in various coins, that need a decentralized exchange, with a decentralized network, to keep the system working that we've all known over the last 5 or 6 years.
Fantastic. I think I'm talking to the right community, maybe those that have been in it this long to offer meaningful suggestions, much like I would try to do..
However, why can't I trade my altcoin #1 for altcoin #2, and the people I'd like to trade with during this urgent moment, are not a participant in the BTS / decentralized exchange concept?
We have the medium, the technology, the concept, and idea. But during urgent times, we'd be trading with early adopters and early investors of Inviticus instead of attracting other people "today" and altcoins "created today"...
If you've read this far, then PLEASE REPLY. Say something. You should be as concerned as much as I am about the changing landscape. You get what I'm saying (Cryptsy Dead. Poloniex Dead, BTC-E kind of dead, and MT-Gox dead... we're running out of centralized exchanges, but the exchange 2.0 that should survive without centralized exchanges is half-dead and not adopted yet. so now what?
Should we all wait 6 months for something right to surface?
Or should we really be concerned that if you have a couple hundred dollars of an alt-coin to sell / convert, you are basically dead in the water like a leaky ship simply because all the major exchanges are F*'d?

Technical Support / Bitshares 1.0 to 2.0 is super confusing
« on: November 16, 2015, 05:41:48 am »
I don't want to run a light wallet to depend on someone else's interpretation of the blockchain by discovering an IP in the forums or adding a manual config to attach my light wallet to their system.
I want to run a full node, so I can pull in the blockchain myself, and have my own light client talk to it.
Here's what I did on Windows:
1. I downloaded and installed the bitshares-cli tools. I was dismayed to find it wants command line switches, even in Windows. I do know how to run Linux, but for simplicity sake, I want to start bitshares-cli and have a gui menu pop up and allow me to specify the command line switches with a graphic user interface in Windows.
2. So once I realized I can't run a full node with a gui interface without jumping to the cmd prompt, that proved to be very futile
3. So now, my last 0.92 Bitshares chain is now useless to me at this stage. I now sit unsync'd, and my wallet is dormant. I'm not seeing the latest enhancements or participating anymore.
My two questions are:
Q1) Why is running a full node in Windows non-gui, and why does it need to be so technical with command line switches and parameters?
AND
Q2) Even if Q1 above is true, why is there no walk through or youtube video produced that explains in layman's terms on how to download and sync your wallet and run your own full node if you want to in Windows? I shouldn't have to read tons of wiki stuff, forum posts, etc. Infact there's no readme included with the install?
This is how user-friendly [sic] my bitshares2 directory looks:
c:\Program Files\Bitshares 2\
bin
unins000.dat
unins000.exe
unins000msg
That's what you get.
Double-click on witness_node.exe and an MSDOS window opens with red text complaining about paths...
Huh?
It seems that we're racing ahead by implementing the structure of Bitshares and the technology by leaving user-friendliness behind.
Hope that Bitshares isn't just built by geeks, "for geeks". Some of us don't trust other "Witness full nodes" and want to run our own "witness node" to download our own copy of the blockchain. I know how bitcoin does it, and thought I could have my own BTS chain downloaded without jumping through too many hoops to do it.
If this stuff isn't easy for me, the last thing I am going to do is try and find friends and family to participate if I can't figure it out myself.
The purpose of this post is to bring awareness to those "already up to speed" in the project, who have been following its development to understand what someone like myself is seeing. We may be leaving people behind here, and I'm one of them.
Help...
I'm a firm believer that a witness_node shouldn't open a black DOS window and complain about path errors...
It should be slightly (sarcasm) more user friendly than that...

General Discussion / Why the value of Bitshares should rise significantly this summer
« on: May 24, 2015, 01:57:58 am »
I'm getting tired of the spam subject "Why I am afraid that the price of BTS is rising" which looks horrible in the "most recent posts" summary of the forum. None of us should be afraid of a rising BTS price. That's what most of us want to see isn't it?
It is to be expected (in my opinion) that Bitshares will rise. Surely there are whales that will want to make money on the way up. But over all, it should continue to increase over the next few months. But the super spikes are just bait traps, watch for those.
I'd be interested to know if anyone can predict what they think BTS might be by the end of September 2015
As I write this, BTS currently has buy orders at 0.00002300 but hit an all time high of around 0.00002700 BTC in the last 24 hours.
If you're not an experienced trader, I don't think this is the time to try and buy/sell just to try and time the market. If you believe in Bitshares, I think it might be a good idea to buy as much as you want to keep until September and avoid the traps that whale traders are going to set for you over the coming months.
These are just my opinons, I'm not an expert, but I've seen this type of trading action before.

General Discussion / Paypal - New Draconian Polices take effect July 1st
« on: May 14, 2015, 08:18:52 pm »
Paypal is making changes to its user agreement effect July 1st, 2015. They explicitly state:
https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/upcoming-policies-full
IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE AMENDED USER AGREEMENT, PRIVACY POLICY OR ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY, YOU MAY CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE JULY 1, 2015 AND YOU WILL NOT BE BOUND BY THE AMENDED TERMS.
Hmmm... A little foreshadowing there on what lots of user's response might be??
Some highlights:
______________________
-- You consent to receive autodialed or prerecorded calls and text messages from PayPal at any telephone number that you have provided us or that we have otherwise obtained.
[....to...] (v) poll your opinions through surveys or questionnaires, (vii) contact you with offers and promotions;

[...and...] PayPal may rely on information it receives from third parties.
_______________________

You acknowledge and agree that $2,500.00 USD per violation of the Acceptable Use Policy...

_______________________
YOU AND PAYPAL AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING.
(Writers note: No more possibilities for class action lawsuits)
________________________
Oh.. there is lots of neat hidden gems in their upcoming policy change document. It appears the world is Paypal's oyster.
If you confront Paypal about it, they'll probably brush it off, saying "oh, well the third parties we're talking about is eBay".
Really? THEN SAY eBAY IN YOUR DOCUMENT. Why put in "3rd parties" which means any other person or organization on earth too?

General Discussion / Reorg of Bitshares buyers and holders is happening now.
« on: May 06, 2015, 02:22:57 am »
Just wanted to state this..
If anyone knows about blockchain technology, when a traditional chainfork happens, it's because there's PoW blocks created on a different chain because of some quicker blocks, and nodes accepting the blocks.
Eventually these small forks "reorg" as part of chain reorganization
What we're witnessing now in my opinion, is a Bitshares "reorg" in the way of people who bought in to get rich quick and are selling vs the people who understand what Bitshares can and will do in the future and are buying the low.
So while we're in this transition, my recommendation is to either buy or sell in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I sincerely feel that I'm on the right "chain" by buying.
We'll see what happens, but I fully believe the current low exchange price of BTS is something we won't see ever again.
Keep forging ahead those of you long and strong.. this isn't wasted technology. It's very methodically designed and I think people a couple years from now might see these old stale dated May 2015 posts and wish they could have bought at these prices.
I don't know what spawned this post, other than the realization that we're going through an investor "reorg" akin to blockchain reorganization like Bitcoin has gone through with it's PoW mechanism.
I also agree with the vesting situation that is designed into the system. I never understood it until now.
Perhaps I'm seemingly coded in the way I'm expressing this point. Perhaps someone else can use better layman terms to explain what I'm trying to say?
For those of you who have knowledge of a chain reorganization, doesn't this feel similar?
A good video for this (before it's taken down) is this one from Dragons Den Canada (S09E18, Mar182015)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SratSgODX84
At 18 mins, 20 seconds, to 19 minutes the lesson is.. "I've done this for 33 years. The only way to make money is to buy fear and sell greed"
I think we're in the buy fear stage.
..he goes to to say "wanna know how you get 30 years of experience? 30 years. I've lost a lot of money to make a lot of money"
So I agree with his 30+ years of experience "buy fear, sell greed". Right now it's a buy fear market at these BTS prices it appears (my opinion only)

General Discussion / DNS and CJDNS and meshnet
« on: February 19, 2015, 02:29:42 am »
Since namecoin and .p2p are still vaporware at this point..
(I bought BTS because of toast and DNS initially. That was why I'm here)
I came across cjdns talked about on http://projectmeshnet.org/
Project Meshnet is a great idea if we can just get some Chinese manufacturers to start selling wifi devices (on eBay for under $50) or wherever that can act as dedicated wifi meshnet hotspots with a build-in 4 port lan switch. Everyone would plug these in and do software upgrades to expand the meshnet easily in the air, and in their home or office.
But that brings me to DNS
The killer app of this decade is going to be decentralized DNS. Without it, everything else that depends on free speech on the internet is at stake.
You can always find a way to to do almost anything (buy, sell, play, vote, trade, fund raise, etc)
But the one thing you can't do is have a decentralized DNS. I think this is something that shouldn't be on the back burner of the stove. It should be pursued until the wheels fall off.
Even if cjdns or any alternative DNS solution isn't easy to install or get adopted, what you could do is have simple CGI scripts or Wordpress plugin that any webmaster can install, almost like a looking glass tool that can be used to dynamically root any domain to a specific IP for that hour (assuming IP records could expire hourly).
Remember the SOPA and PIPA protests? Over 115,000 websites went dark Jan 18, 2012
That potentially could be 115,000 "looking glass" sites to decentralized DNS too.
I can't believe I don't hear more about DNS or at least joining some dev forces with CJDNS or other implementations.
I would also like to see Decentralized DNS have it's own forum on the main forum page, and for it to stay there until DNS is operational. It is not something we should stop for now, and finish later. It needs to be an ongoing project with even 10% of resources dedicated to it each week.
