keep away of  Steemit

That's horrible advice from my perspective. Anyone who feels stuck in BTS would have done themselves a favor by posting on Steemit.com early, but it's not too late! You still have another month to earn part of the $2 million given to posters and curators. I have done quite well myself and would highly recommend anyone here complaining about their BTS investment to give Steemit a try if for no other reason to make up some of your perceived or real losses.

If you feel bytemaster has somehow let you down, why would you not want to take some of the free money offered by Steem to make up for your claimed misfortunes?  It seems counterproductive to sit here complaining about your woes when you could have already made up any losses by simply making good post on Steemit or curating some good content and even better you could be accomplishing this off of the Steem platform you appear to despise so much for whatever reason.

If you blame someone for costing you money due to a decision or action on their part are you going to sit around moaning about it all day or would you rather go make that money back from them off of another project they created?

"I lost money from that guys last project so no way I'm going to go take some easy money off of his next one to make up for my losses!"

Seriously consider what you are saying here. It makes absolutely no sense. Dan's like, "Hey here's $2 million dollars for you!" and you guys/girls are like, "No way man, I'm not typing and posting links to earn back my money! I'd rather bitch all day and earn nothing!".

@whoeverrunsblocktrades Why is ETHER removed?  Will it be coming back? If so any ETA? I'm trying to BTFATH, like @tuckfheman taught me, and now I can't.

Edit: It's back up now.

Is that photo recent?

Would be nice if Dan could share any discussion they had in that sense,

No that's from a few years ago I believe. @Stan can probably confirm or deny.

Have them check the faucet url under settings and make sure it's set to https and not http

Thanks for the tip puppies! What's below is not for you but for the Dev team.

@bytemaster so how would a new user know to do this and how long has it been like this and why is this set like this? Who knows how many referrals have been lost because of this, seriously who knows? Is there any way to find out? I receive very few donations for my efforts in the BitShares ecosystem and am relying on referrals from my work for "pay" from the people who bootstrapped the blog and got me started. I've seen very few referral income for some time now, is this why?

It seems to be completely defeating referrers by giving new users errors with no message telling them how to fix it, but why is it like this in the first place is the big question I have? We have all of this momentum and new users are getting nothing but errors with an unknown reason? This is not presenting a good message right off the bat and is probably driving many new users away from BitShares for good. I wouldn't go back and try a crypto that gave me an unknown error when trying to create an account and I definitely would not put any money on their chain out of fear I'd lose all of my money.

I'm truly devastated to learn this and am really deflated by this revelation because I put most of my extra time away from my job into marketing BitShares and now I have no way of knowing if this is the reason it's not paying off and I'm not responsible for it, someone else is and they've let this go on for how long now without fixing it or at the least putting a message up showing how to fix it on the OpenLedger website.

I'm feeling kind of stabbed in the back here sorry but this really hurts and I feel like I've wasted a lot of my time for nothing in return. 

Hey fuzzy, here are the results of your tips...

thanks @fuzzy

Would you mind helping me with marketing ?

I have so much on my plate I don't have time to eat it all.  I post what I can, where I can, when I can for the blog and that's the best I can do right now.

@fuzzy  I can't make it to the Hangout but can you tell Dan props on his rap career and wish him best of luck in his rap battle against Lil Buterin.

New Member: Which exchange is best to buy BTS from? I have heard bter is not as secure as ccdek. I combed through this forum and saw someone suggest btc-e. Which is the most secure with least fees? (I am trying to buy BTS with USD)

*WARNING* Don't use BTER for any coin. CCEDK.com is reputable, especially in the BTS community. metaexchange.info as well.
