I haven't been on here in a while.  I want to update to the latest bitshares wallet.  But when I go to bitshares.org it says 4.0 is released and only has a github link.  Do I get the wallet from there?  And how to install?

I also tried going to https://wallet.bitshares.org/ but get a "Application initialization issues" message.

The Bitshares Blockchain Foundation may be a good contact point.  I agree Kik's needs are a good fit for bitshares.  Anyone here in the Foundation?

I agree w/ jonny that a solution needs to be found.  Bitshares is being marketed heavily with the benefits of having a bitUSD & bitCNY as a way to park your money.  When things like Bitspark and the Hero Dollar are being presented, I guarantee 99% of the people aren't thinking in terms of a collateralized asset that can blow up.  The Hero is in the same boat as bitUSD, maybe even worse.  Because the HERO is marketing to the mainstream and advertises itself as having no counterparty risk, a black swan event will collapse it like a house of cards.

If I purchase EOS tokens on an exchange (instead of the ICO), how do I transfer them to an ethereum wallet?  Do I just use the ethereum wallet address or are there other steps?

What happens when the value of the collateral falls below the required amount (ie. your BTS falls below value of USD)?  Do you lose the remaining collateral & what happens to the bitUSD?  And if I buy bitUSD from someone and he/she gets "margin called", does it affect my position?

Dan mentioned a couple times about releasing info to those on a mailing list.  How does one get on the mailing list?

Once stealth gets into bitshares, then any crypto coin can have stealth as long as it has its equivalent OPEN.<yourcoin> UIA.  I'd like to see stealth marketed & promoted this way to the crypto world. 

It also makes bitshares a pseudo sidechain in that you move YOURCOIN to OPEN.yourcoin, do 3300 txn/sec on the bitshares blockchain, and then move it back out to a YOURCOIN wallet.

we'd better wait OPENLEDGER/BLOCKPAY/TRANSWISER or some other business based Bitshares success
maybe they will help Bitshares when they success.

or try to attract some VC fund.

I agree with this.

A bond market is a symptom of strong liquidity.  It doesn't create liquidity.
Building a fast car doesn't mean people will buy it.  But if there's a strong reason to get somewhere fast, then there will be demand for the car.

Blockpay is doing it right.  Stealth is being built because they NEED it for their business.  Monero has stealth hoping people will use it.  Which do you think will succeed?  I'm betting on blockpay.

Bitshares' success won't come from being like Poloniex.  It'll come from platforms building on top of bitshares.

A bond market is just another "build-it-and-they-will-come" idea.  That strategy hasn't been working.

And where is this demand for a bond market coming from?  I don't see it.  Maybe from people who want to lend for a return, but who wants to borrow?  On poloniex, demand only comes if a crypto's price is going up a lot.
