Thanks, I did not know that there had been a black swan event in BitBTC. Nor that the feed price was not the real one.

The DEX should clearly warn of this type of circumstances, showing the actual status of a Smart Asset. It is not acceptable that the feed price shown causes confusion.

Greetings, I have an error settling 0.11377283 BitBTC.

Very strange. The operation was resolved instantly, instead of 24 hours, and for a price much lower than that marked by the witness. What has happened?

The best solution, and the most simple and decentralized one, at least for the currencies with the largest market cup, would be that the different gateways would generate enough Smartcoins, such as BitBTC.

Bitshares users could use the gateways to buy these smartcoins, or exchange them for real assets.

Nothing is needed to implement this, only serious gateways with liquidity.

So far, Bisq has a modest size, is another reason why it would not be a danger to Bitshares, and has just what Bitshares needs: a Fiat Gateway full p2p. I think the time has come to add and not to subtract. It is the way in which all the big companies have grown.

I do not know if you realize another advantage of using an external p2p Gateway to Bitshares: If a node incorporated some FIAT exchange system, even P2P, there could be legal and regulatory problems for witnesses, depending on their country.
However, since Bisq is an external App used by each user, those problems do not arise.
I think this has the potential to be a great idea  that should be explored.

I have already mentioned it on occasion, but I think the best solution to implement an escrow system is to use the most decentralized system that exists now to buy BTC, P2P way: Bisq. Why invent the wheel, if it already exists?

If Bisq implemented the option to change BTS or BitUSD by FIAT, then the purchase can be moved to the Bitshares DEX and the problem would be solved. There is not much danger that Bisq can remove volume from the DEX of bitshares, since the vast majority of Bisq's trade is exchange of BTC with FIAT, functionality that does not exist in the DEX. The exchange of cryptocurrencies in Bisq is wallet-to-wallet, and of very low volume. I do not think it could interfere with the type of smartcoins trade and low fees of the DEX.

Bisq can now trade with any type of cryptocurrencies, so it seems to me that the best approach for this project would be to contact the Bisq dev and propose a collaboration. Both projects would add synergies and win, so that a p2p-bridge would be available immediately. Precisely Bisq has modified its connections Tor to be able to work in mainland China and it turns out that there Bitshares has a good market. Makes sense.

 Bitcoin (rated C+) and Bitshares (rated C+) 
 Ripple ratted C-

 Bitcoin (rated C+) gets excellent scores for security and widespread adoption. But it is encountering major network bottlenecks, causing delays and high transactions costs. Despite intense ongoing efforts that are achieving some initial success, Bitcoin has no immediate mechanism for promptly upgrading its software code.
    Ethereum (B), the second most widely adopted cryptocurrency, benefits from more readily upgradable technology and better speed, despite some bottlenecks.
    Novacoin (D) and SaluS (D) are weak in terms of both technological innovation and adoption.
    Steem (B-) enjoys a relatively good balance of moderate strength in nearly all the key factors considered along with a social network feature.

Attention OasisDEX and stablecoin DAI launched. Dai uses margin call, very similar to BitUSD.
