Im unable to load bitshares.openledger.info, it just shows the 3 dots loading animation. Anyone else seeing this?

Sigh...

Edit: Hmm never mind there was something wrong with my browser and I went on another pc. Mods feel free to delete.

Litecoin is flat because its just a coin, whilst Ethereum is already at 40-60k transactions per day, whilst we can barely make 5K:

Q: What smart contract is Ethereum actually being used for to generate such a high transaction count per day?

I recompiled the webwallet for the first time in a while, and it says in the readme that npm run build creates a bundle in the web/dist directory, and I can "use a webserver of my choice".

My question is, is it safe to just open up index.html in firefox, without serving that content from any webserver? I did that and claimed a few balances and it seems to be working fine as a webwallet. Just wondering if this is ok.

Whos up for another London meetup? Theres lots to talk about, and there are a few new London/UK members here like Jonny. Love to talk about thedex.org

This will be the first meetup since BTS balances became public, so that will be fun

In post 2.0, do we still have a halving that caps dilution over time? Or is it a case of dilution forever until the project is finished?

I see weve added 3M more shares since 2.0

Right now there is 500 million BTS just sitting on centralized exchanges, not available to pay any fees to the network, just sitting there ready to drag the price down.

So why dont we require shareholders to fulfill responsibilities to support the network? The point being to gradually force BTS off centralized exchanges and into accounts that are active on the DeX. Centralized exchanges that earn huge fees from their users trading BTS back and forth will find that they have to pay for that privilege.

This is how to do it:

Every account (possibly with a minimum amount of 1millioin BTS) is required to perform market making activity on BTS/USD (we can work out the details) using at least 1% of the account's balance of BTS, every single calendar month. All applicable accounts that dont do this pay 5% of their BTS as a penalty. An example criteria of market making is to place an order within 10% of the price feed for a minimum amount of time.

Again, all details subject to discussion.

The only problem with this idea is that the centralized exchanges wont like this and might coordinate their stake to vote themselves onto the committee and disable this feature. But they are still a minority even if they all vote together, and if the community votes for this then we take back control of BitShares into the hands of the real supporters that use the DeX. And we can start earning millions of BTS of in fees.

This idea has some characteristics as the old 5% inactivity fee that BM floated ages ago. Im ready to do market making with 1% of my stake if required by the network.

The witness node really frustrates me. I was sitting on a train without an internet connection but with the full blockchain saved on my laptop, trying to experiment writing some python scripts.

-Everytime I start the witness node it insists on doing a full rescan, which takes 10 minutes.
-When it does finish rescanning, I cant connect to any seed nodes because Im offline, so it then crashes which means I have to restart and rescan again.
