I don't know if my password is not working because of the upgrade, because I have not been here in a while... moving, buying a new property had kept me busy.

I am trying to get into my account and the password I had does not work.

What is the problem?

Would it be possible to vote on the blockchain? Could this be a way to control election fraud?

If possible, what are the Pros and Cons?

Who is it taking down Ethereum and can it happen to Bitshares?

I have Bitshares 2.0 ............ do I need to upgrade?

Also... I got a "Sharedrop" from hybrid (Bitshares Talk)...  not sure what this is. I did upgrade to lifetime member... anything to do with that?

Also... That Sharedrop showed up in my account and now does not show.

Thanks

I tried to make a purchase of USD using Bitshares. Not sure what happened but the trade did not go through. First time I try this trading within the wallet from Bitshares to USD (BitUSD, I presume).

Can someone please check block 2235350 and block 2236021

and tell me what I did wrong.

Also, is there any way to cancel the transaction that has not gone through? My total count of Bitshares shows that some were take out for the transaction but it did not go through. Not much there but I am just learning this trading process.

Thank you.

Ray, your pictures are great. I hope this and other projects might consider integrating some of your images rather than merely stock or graphic design logos (which are beautiful, too, when done well, but nowhere near as expressive and unique as your work).

Thank you donkeypong ! I agree that there is a place for fine art as well as the business logo graphic art with regards to bitshares and cryptocurrencies in general.

I am reading more about how to incorporate my art in the blockchain for the purpose of dating the creation as a copyright date, etc. Love this idea.

You could do like luckybit said. btw UIA means User Issued Asset. An asset that would represent the value of your work, which you can create at any time on BitShares 

This could help you kickstart your art business. have a read here, hopefully you'll understand it better https://bitshares.org/technology/user-issued-assets/

Tbh I would love to see this in BitShares!

Thanks for the info and link. This is the kind of speculation I enjoy. I am inspired by the philosophy behind private currencies. This is reason to do art work. It may be revolutionary.

I will read and study the info in the link on bitshares.org so I can speak with a bit more understanding of the workings of it. I do own bitshares and became a lifetime member.

My user name is rayzzz57

I might be interested in forming a group to help administrate this project to put my art on the bitshares blockchain. I would want it to be done right so that people could feel confident about being a part of it. Anyone interested?

@Ray you've done great work! I'm very intrigued and excited to see you're wanting to integrate Bitshares into your work.
When you ask how to "incorporate" into Bitshares, are you asking how to connect your work to the block chain via a UIA? Or are you asking for ideas/suggestions/philosophy of Bitshares to incorporate into your artwork?

I understand basics about cryptocurrencies but do not know what UIA is... I saw videos about contracts being on the blockchain and thought about my art work, somehow being incorporated. I'll have ideas here, but am limited on the technical side. I do appreciate the private nature of cryptocurrencies just as the early American colonists used their own paper money instead of the British money... thereby keeping transaction fees under control and the money in their own economy instead of that of England. It was considered by Franklin to be the real reason for the American Revolution. It was a step in the right direction towards independence.

I am asking for ideas, suggestions, philosophy as well as to share my work.

Here are a few links to articles on my Art of Bitcoin...

I've wondered if a coin could be generated by the uniqueness of a piece of art. Scanning the art at exact settings, giving numerical values to pixels and creating one hell of a mathmatical formula to create a blockchain? I'd love to see that with my art. Let's try it with bitshares.
