What news?.. no reply in the Muse forum; so, will post here too.. surprised there is no comment simply to confirm the snapshot occurred as expected.

I got to claim MUSE in the https://wallet.muse.help and in time for the snapshot, which I gather was expected end of 11th Aug.

I've also then got NOTEs against a BTC address but expecting that is fine, given the suggestion:
> those that participated in the pre-sale of NOTEs and have never claimed anything, you can wait and import your Bitcoin private keys directly into the upcoming Muse (the new Blockchain’s) interface.
from https://steemit.com/muse/cob/muse-project-status-update-action-soon-required

The email prompt suggested:
> The launch of the new Muse blockchain will follow shortly after the snapshot period. This will be the last time you hear about complicated crypto stuff from us!

but what's next?..

Did the snapshot occur and what does that snapshot do next.. is it some less than complicated crypto and required a new blockchain or other?

Is there a timeline for development.. and is this forum the best source for updates going forward?

 

Is there current 32bit version available for Linux? https://bitshares.org/download/ appears to offer only something with a filename as _amd64. Instructions to build 32bit perhaps would do but those aren't available directly, which makes it harder work than is needed. Having a repository available would help user adoption too.

Then, I wonder the wallet location could be more obvious and the worry of over installing an older version of 2.0 could be disappeared with a clearer how-to.

I'm just looking at the steps needed to upgrade and it seems I need 0.9.3c and then 2.#.

Where is the build or otherwise instructions for 32bit Linux???.. the download 64bit gives an unhelpful "Exec format error" that some users might not understand.

https://bitshares.org/download/
> The latest official release can always be found on GitHub at this URL: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares/releases/latest
points to 0.9.2
and
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-0.x/releases
suggests a 0.9.3c marked as prerelease - is that the right copy to do a build against?


Is there still not a Linux repository for these? - that would make life so much easier for Ubuntu/Mint users.

While waiting again for the BitShares client to catchup, I'm wondering at how slow the software is running - how much it's trying to do..

Have the devs considered a switch to Rust? I've not seen any discussion here about it but then elsewhere there's a lot of praise for what it does for development. Rust is a systems programming language focused on three goals: safety, speed, and concurrency, and appears to be delivering. It's a painful transition initially but the payback is huge. It's probably the wrong time to ask but for example, MaidSafe is getting great results; Rust's inclination to resist any overhead and then retain speed and stability, might be worth considering. It apparently greatly reduces the codebase and the complexity.

This list of what Rust does not do, is interesting: https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/218040.html

BBC:Newsnight is one of the more serious mainstream news staples. So, surprising to see this so early on. It's rather upbeat on the wider potential.

I wonder that BitShares could approach some of those, if it needs bridging.

After much hard work, we’ve created an embeddable mining chip which we call the BitShare that comes in a variety of form factors.

Perhaps with their marketing people will buy BitShares 

UK:London http://smlf.info/ had an inaugural meeting to kick off its http://bitcoinandblockchainleadershipforum.org/ this morning.
This is a forum for traditional banking and that well represented. The forum supported by the BoE; LSE among another 50+ key interests from global fintech.

You missed the banking sector getting its head around basic questions. It's currently more about learning (basic orientation); sharing ideas (wonderments) and insights (few). So, some way to go before there's any 'leadership' but given the key interests from traditional banking, it has potential to become influential if not useful.

There was no mention of BitShares or really any depth of awareness beyond the obvious - Ethereum and 'smart contracts' were mentioned in an obvious way. I had a sense that some in the room understood at depth but most including the BoE are at the stage of doing their homework before making any decisions. The big take away, I suppose is no surprise that they are taking blockchain technology seriously.

There seem to be a few efforts to create accelerators (Barclays is a key player) and so perhaps from the crowd will emerge real expertise. BoE rep talked of their current research and how legislation might not necessarily be the same as old banking.. but made clear indication that they consider that confidence comes from stability and therefore by their logic, necessarily that requires regulation. So, they are not fully understanding the potential but it's a step in the right direction. There's expected to be more of the same each month on different related topics tbc.

What was not discussed was any talk of supporting current development and I'm not sure what to make of that. Perhaps those present are above such trivia but I suspect many will have money to burn researching this over the next years. Investment is the best route to understanding?.. I didn't get a chance to suggest that they would do us all a favour splurging on moonstone.io or directly supporting key devs of substantial projects like BitShares.

It's clear that they all believe that regulation is necessary but the form that might take relative to each class of activity, is not clear. There's talk public already of the BoE and others looking at hosting their own blockchains but I can't see the advantage of that and the risks of proving such a network are great.

Opportunity potentially there if BitShares core devs want to reach out to traditional banking, contact smlf and pitch for a presentation within future meetings.. @bytemaster ? Some in the room have insightful questions and not to be underestimated and all appear clever enough to appreciate real depth of answer to their concerns about 'what can it do for me'.

I'll just leave this here as thought it useful and well maintained: https://www.privacytools.io/
