So I haven't logged into my account for close to a year. Now I have used only a few variations of the same password for the last 5 years. So I try pretty much everything I can think of but everything says invalid password. I've tried this on the bitshares.org web wallet and also on open ledgers web wallet. But here is the weird thing, I ended up creating a brand new account through open ledger. So this time I know for a FACT what the password is. But when I go to log in using the Account method, it still says invalid password! What am I doing wrong?

Also alternative to trying to get the password right, I actually do have my public and private brainkey for my account. I tried importing that key into a new account and it said there were no funds that hadnt already been claimed   

I have 78000 BTS and I just wanted to get some of it out! Please help!

Let's all get on this people! We might just be ready for the new market by Monday! I'm on 0.4.6 are you?

While we are waiting to hear the plans for publishing feeds... Is there anywhere I can look to brush up on how to use the RPC calls with BTSX? I searched in the forum for a bit but didn't really find anything. More specifically running a script to make RPC calls would be nice. alt has a good python script here. But a tutorial on how to make my own script would be really nice. I've written python scripts before but I don't have any experience with RPC. The idea is that the delegates will get there sources different ways from different places right?

So I've been on version 3.1 and haven't missed a single block this whole weekend, after all my 2.x versions seemed to randomly miss a block every day or so.

Good job guys!

So I've heard a lot of people complaining lately that they think the current voting structure is not fair. We don't want the "elites" getting to choose who all the delegates are because they happen to have fat stacks of cash. Or maybe we want to see the little guys get a chance to jump in the mix and prove themselves from time to time. Well that is why we have voting in the first place! If 75% of the masses agree that there is a good candidate for being a delegate then no "whale" can do anything about it except try to promote against them a lobby for votes (or in this case votes against) just like everyone else. We could even form parties/groups that believe in a particular set of delegates and the masses that don't want to think about it too much could just vote the same way as their affiliation.

Ultimately if what you want is just to give more people a chance to try to be a delegate then what if we stop trying to say that voting is broken and start giving people a chance to prove themselves? There could be a "delegate proving grounds" test net that is a clone of the current release so that other people could have a chance to show that they are good at producing blocks. Having tons of shares wouldn't matter as much because the shares have no value and you could just ask for some.  Oh wait... That sounds a lot like the test nets that we already have!

OR

We can just live with the fact that voting is voting and just give people a good place to promote themselves. I REALLY THINK THIS WOULD SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS. People who deserve to be delegates should be able to explain exactly why they deserve to be a delegate. Not just "plz plz plz vote for me! ;P " The problem is that we need to have 1 place where everyone knows and can easily find, where potential delegates can promote themselves. It really should be a part of the main website for BitShares.org .  And what would be REALLY awesome would be if there could be something as simple as a Facebook thumbs up that the masses could click on if they like what they see. And it would automatically sync up to the thumbs up link in the delegate page of the GUI wallet. Heck it could even set up a transaction of all your BTSX to yourself and ask you to verify that. Even better would be some kind of HTML code link that could be added to websites or forums that works a lot like the Facebook thumbs up.

All people want is a chance. And everyone wants to see the best delegates get the job. So we just need to let people (active delegates or not) get a legitimate chance to prove themselves and I think all these "voting sux!" problems will go away.

Any thoughts?

So how are the first 100 delegates chosen? I know there was talk of a waiting line for alternate delegates to immediately take the place of a fired delegate. What would be the process to get in that line? Is there a minimum amount of stake that one needs to be considered for a delegate position? If an average person like myself has an average computer but a good internet connection (100Mb with pretty much guaranteed 100% up time) would I have a chance at being a delegate?
