There are people who are passionate enough about BitShares to vote and do work to establish a reputation that others trust to vote for them.
What do we gain if we water down that trusted group with others who are merely paid to think for us? How do we know that a paid voter is wise and actually doing her homework?
The average knowledge/passion/trustworthiness per vote would decrease. Why would that be good?
Anything done to artificially increase the number of votes cast without increasing the knowledge behind those votes is just for show. Which means that the %voting metric is a poor indicator.
Suppose we offered $100 per share to get people to vote just one time. Naturally, turnout reaches 99%. What have we done? We have now locked in a bunch of random noise that averages out to the same thing plus a bias based on the sum of all disinformation, rumors and misconceptions. Now, when conditions change, the resulting inertia of unattended one-time paid votes is much harder for the truly informed and motivated voters to make a change.
A well informed vote from someone who has done the hard work to understand the issues is highly valuable.
A random (e.g. machine generated) vote is useless - it just increases the noise floor without changing the outcome.
Alas, rewarding voting yields mostly the latter, not the former.
Does anyone agree bitshares would benefit from some public face driving entrepreneurs and devs to the platform? Or are there better avenues?
I don't really think that running the very backbone of bitshares in a t2micro is a good practice at all, even if it seems to run "fine".
Witnesses should always be ready and able to deal with sudden increases in resources required by the network, and this is not possible with a t2micro.
What happens if a spam attack strike on bts? That low-end server will not be able to bear the attack.
What if all the witnesses run on a t2micro? Bitshares network dies.
And you can not even assume a priori that you will be always ready to manage your instance in time to mitigate an attack.
What if you are outside and can not connect to your servers or server's hosting? What if you are just sleeping?
Witnesses should always look at what could be the next required resources and their servers should always be capable of sustain a lot more requests that the current ones.![]()
When spam attack happens, witnesses can easily scale up their witness servers. In my case, I regularly update my snapshot image, so I can upgrade my server to the highest one (e.g. 32 core, 208 G ram, 10 TB SSD) in a couple of hours.
Setting up a testnet is not easy for a total newbie. The whole point of a public demo/testnet is to offer a simple way for anybody to try the wallet and all features of the blockchain.
This has been on the short term roadmap for a month now:1. Prevent margin call from being triggered unless the price feed is less than call price (popular demand)
2. Refund 99% of order placement fees on cancel
3. Split order-fill fees with referrers for all trades involving BTS
4. Launch a Demo/Dev chain that gives all signups a significant balance and an opportunity to play with all of the features.
triox sent 1000 BTS without a memo, but I just assume it's for this funding
thank you!
I am looking for a list of laws that have the following characteristics:
1. Completely Unjust (Victimless Crimes)
2. Probability of Getting Caught Violating the law is Low
3. Cost of getting caught is high
4. The penalty for getting caught is mostly financial
5. Have public sympathy for the individual prosecuted
Jury duty?
Nah. You just have to tell them you are an INTJ personality and they let you off.

I have two accounts, the one I do most of my voting with and then "bytemaster". It was pointed out to me that I wasn't voting with my own account and that 70M BTS were being proxied to me.
I decided to increase the threshold required to move committee decisions away from the core developers due to the recent controversy over "rash" committee decisions. My thinking was that increasing the threshold for getting voted into the committee would help increase quality and community consensus.
That said, I was also being a tad lazy because I haven't actually evaluated the committee members in closer detail.
I will probably vote for more witnesses (you all were doing a good job, I didn't intend to have my vote for some of you vote out others). You will be back in within 24 hours.
With respect to the committee I hope everyone who was on the committee stays involved. I just want to do my due diligence before voting for committee members. So for now, those who have trusted "me" with their votes can know that I have cast them in such a way that ensures I approve of committee actions.
