Interesting. There are people in that list that haven't posted here in a very long while, perhaps that should be taken into account as well. In doing so it also should be considered what the quality of such "dormant" accounts were when they were active.

I'm here from bitcointalk. This thread seems to be a little meatier than the bitcointalk thread. I like the technical info although I have no idea what a brownie is.

About my involvement in STEEM: I've mined this coin since before it launched 

I'd like to run a delegate/witness node, so here is more:

I have been following crypto for about 2.5 years now and it was only a few short months after my first purchase of BTC before I started getting involved on the development side. Lately, I have been working with the Eclipse dev team as a programmer. To clarify things, we have several devs. I am the lead (overly-outspoken) programmer. We also have an administrative dev and a cryptography expert. We are all "equals", leading different parts of the project.

I have expertise in enough programming languages not to bother mentioning them all. One language I will mention is C++ because much of crypto is written in it. I've studied cryptocurrency code so much that I can read through it like a newspaper and can spot logic bugs without even running the code. I have written a lot of cryptocurrency code for many projects.

I have many years of experience in system administration, setting up long running networks both as a consultant and salaried professional.

If I run a witness, I will do so using a top-tier cloud platform like google, amazon, or azure.

I prefer my witness account to be "steemed" if I am selected. I also have steemroller and steemer, and many, many others.

I have been putting everything into vests, even at the low rates we have been getting now. I was probably one of the first people with vests after relaunch.

I'm excited to see where this project will go. I have been recruiting new participants behind the scenes, and even helped a few people at BCT both on the board and privately.

Even if I didn't have a stake in this project, I'd be enthusiastic about its progress as the devs' goal is one of the well known killer dapps that will serve a useful purpose to society.

For instance, a user could lock up some bts for 1 year but also create bitassets out of that locked bts to be traded on the dex for that period of 1 year.  A margin call would cancel this contract.  Perhaps users who do this could be paid more.  This would give the network the full benefit of those bts by also providing liquidity to the dex.

Now that I know you are interested in this, I will try to push harder for its completion.

Perhaps I haven't won yet.  I intend to buy back brownies with some of my STEEM once all the infrastructure is in place to do it.  I need to know how much STEEM I personally end up with.

I don't like private profits being made from something that should be a core feature of bitshares.

I understand and appreciate that @onceuponatime has taken on risk and reduced sell pressure on BTS get Stealth asset implemented but I think this feature would be better as just a standard feature .

I'd like to see @onceuponatime  to sell this feature to bitshares and delete the Stealth asset.

He could sell it for whatever he paid +25% to cover costs and make a profit. This could be done as a worker proposal.

I've never thought Fee Backed Assets for core bitshares functions made any sense whatsoever.

 

I would support this move as well.  The easiest way to do so is to create a worker, get it voted in, and refund once upon a time his money.  That would require about 7.5 million BTS.  Maximum dilution for about 3 weeks should do the trick if my math is right.

Who thinks we can get that approved by shareholders?
