I'm researching for my next article, specifically in regard to ICO and how effective each platform might be for that style of business funding.

Has there been a case of any companies using the BitAsset system to raise funds yet? It seems like it would be an amazing tool for businesses (except that it currently costs over 6,000 USD worth of BTSX to create an asset which seems a tad excessive).

But cost aside, does anyone know of any organization even considering an ICO on the BitAsset platform?

I was really surprised to see how closely both have been tracking actual dollar value:

I was extolling the wonders of BitsharesX to a friend and she asked me a question that I couldn't answer with complete confidence, specifically, "how private the entire platform can be for an end user?"

I can answer that question (more or less) for other, more typical, crytocurrencies but BitsharesX is obviously an altogether different beast. I've been so stoked on the trading platform I haven't even stopped to think if it is possible to find myself or another trader via activity on the platform somehow.

Anyone have any thoughts on the anonymity issue in regards to the BTSX platform?

I'm currently running another test transaction but the price of BitUSD went up and I ended up walking away with more BTSX on a short... which seems backwards to me but maybe I am simply thinking of the market backwards already.

I will report back with exact numbers this time (didn't write everything down last time and as I mentioned in another thread the transaction history needs a little work).

I thought the first line was clear enough, I shorted BitUSD at one price, the price went up and then when I closed the short I ended up with more BTSX than I has started with. Which seems exactly backwards of what should have happened.

It would make a lot more sense to me if transaction history showed the price you bought or sold BitUSD/BTSX for by using the same inputs you used when you initiated the trade. Currently, it expresses the values backwards so if I sell BitUSD at X amount of BTSX per unit it will read something like "pay bid @ 0.04 USD / BTSX" in the transaction history.

That's all well and good except if I don't write down the sales price it's very tricky to figure out what I actually sold it for. The transaction history should have at least one line that matches my inputs and the information it's currently showing should be something like "details" I can see if I open up that transaction, is what I'm asserting.


edit: this would also have the added effect of cleaning up what the transaction history looks like. So instead of showing all the bits and pieces of a transaction separately you have a single, time stamped, line item which clearly matches the info I inputted to make the sale. The details of which should only be seen if I expand that transaction. I think you'll find users will have a much more pleasant experience if you do this.
