BTSX76TAEgPBhGNfgkfNjPmzEu31a2kGqYUL2umUFZaSYWi1R57CiV adds just fine.  Not sure if thats your key though.

Not anymore.  blew that away.  Now I have: XTS6v4boE6wB42Lp21tiFZRUc5kDq21UHFKXEhBf9EUJm1dvBNu8q

which I also can't add.

Galt,

Yes. Do it soon. I paid 7 BTS yesterday to register, so the price may go up. :)

Okay, just not sure how to send it to my delegate account that isn't registered yet.

wallet_add_contact_account <account name> <public key>

When I tried to add that key you posted it threw an error though.

Yeah, I got 10 assert exception.

how much does it cost?

would it really really help, or will this unique delegate problem hammer itself out in no time?

my campaign platform would be: "I don't really give a shit if you vote for me, I'm just trying to help."

right now, 17 BTSX to become a delegate. You don't need anything too fancy for the vps at the moment - $10-30/month?

There are ~1000 other delegates out there, so you have to weigh the possibility of being elected to the top 101 with the cost of being a delegate.

EDIT: Either way, it's probably also good to learn about the delegates out there and vote for the "good" ones. And educate others about the "good" ones.

It seems the instructions actually work!!  I'm a bit shocked that everything is working as instructed after a previous experience spending a week or 2 getting the Bitcoin to compile with all it's libraries etc....

seems I'm just missing BTSX to become a delegate now.  I got ubuntu working and wallet created etc...but can't register my delegate due to no BTSX.  I only have some on Bter and can't withdraw. 

Anyone know when we will be able to withdraw BTSX on Bter?

Hate to ask....but....Bytemaster can you register my delegate account with the native_pubkey that shows from wallet_account_list_public_keys ??

account: delegate-galt
public key: XTS76TAEgPBhGNfgkfNjPmzEu31a2kGqYUL2umUFZaSYWi1R57CiV


Do you need some still? I will send you some to register.

Yes I do.  I am good for it I promise.  :)

Thanks, got it at my windows account so I need to send it to my ubuntu delegate account that I want to register right?  Sorry, I'm a bit new at this.

Galt, I would gladly do that for you, but my funds are not accessible until tomorrow.   Note:   It is best not to reveal your public key and desired name publicly least someone attempt to take the name.

Okay, thanks for advice.  feel free to remove it from posts if you can.  I can change it if needed.

I'm confused how I would run a delegate - I see I can register my ident, is it just as simple as doing that and then getting people to vote for me?

I think the tools are fine but the explanation for people who haven't followed every dry run are sorely lacking.  Once people understand how to be delegates or what it requires vs what its rewards are, we'll probably see less centralization.

agreed. I didn't realize there was such need for delegates. should I rent out a vps and (try) to get the code compiled for the sake of helping?

there is a need for delegates, ideally they would be 101 individuals with standing and technical experience in the community trusted to (1) not screw the system and (2) maintain/pay for their node.

to do it see:
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares_toolkit/wiki/DPOS-initial-delegate-setup

To be a delegate you just need to:
1) pay to be a delegate (set up an account, give it some BTS, register the account, register the account as a delegate)
2) set "wallet_enable_delegate_block_production $ACCOUNT true"
3) UNLOCK YOUR WALLET and keep it unlocked!!!! set a long time out (that was my mistake at first)
4) somewhat optional, but nice to do:
network_set_advanced_node_parameters {"desired_number_of_connections":50, "maximum_number_of_connections":200}

benefits: you get a share of the transaction fees (pay_rate*10/101*transaction_fees_per_day)
costs: maintaining a vps, having to be on top of things

in theory, you should campaign and be well known. In practice, for now, it is dominated by the big accounts giving themselves a large number of delegate spots.

Thanks, I will work on this. I managed to get it installed on ubuntu using these instructions:

https://github.com/dacsunlimited/bitsharesx/blob/master/BUILD_UBUNTU.md

just haven't tried running it yet.

That isn't including any of the initial delegates. And there are still 26 of those. So 6 entities control well over half the delegates.

Maybe you guys want it that way?

This is not looking very decentralized.  Especially to any newcomers.

We want 100 unique individuals, but obviously there are not 100 qualified candidates right now.  Show me a list with 101 unique individuals ready to operate nodes and I will vote for them all in a minute.

Right now the system is young and is already more decentralized that bitcoin & Ripple.

You are entirely too quick to judge.  Look at the DIRECTION it is moving and not where it is.  It started out 100% centralized... now you are complaining about 5 people with about 7% control each?   And then insinuate that we want centralization?  ::)

If I wanted to act as a delegate to support Bitshares X what are the basic steps I need to take?  Setup/maintain reliable server(s)?  register as a delegate?  ask for votes? something like that?  Do I need a certain amount of BTSX in my wallet or any other requirements like that?

Coming Soon...
http://cassyo.cc/labs/btsx/index.php

Very nice.  The Wiki the site links to is very good as well.

http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/Bitshares_X

with a number of use cases that help explain the history, key terms and the big picture regarding how one might use Bitshares X.  It helped me a lot.  I hope this is further expanded to cover delegates and user created assets in more detail but the use cases are the most helpful to me.  Knowing why and how to use the DAC is most important to me.  Good Job!!

Very amateur feeling after navigating it. (only the background is great but it isn't enough)


What about:

Do you think for a potentially huge Industry and marketcap this is better?  :P


Much better!  :)

General Discussion / Re: Basic How To

Please comment.  This will constantly be an in progress page.  This is also a first edition. 

If you are ever confused, visit dacsunlimited.com and download from there.
Thanks for your work.  My main suggestion would be to remove any unnecessary technical/crypto "jargon". 

Examples:

Instead of saying "Creating accounts using DPOS" just say "Creating Accounts".

Instead of "The associations between the accounts and your wallet are cryptographically private.", just say "The associations between the accounts and your wallet are private".

Change "If you continue to get errors, please make sure the username has not already been chosen" to "If you receive an error, please make sure the username has not already been chosen".

Change "This is similar to a "receive" address in a BTC wallet but not the same" to "This is similar to a "receive" address in a Bitcoin wallet."

Also, be consistent in your terminology, use "Bitcoin" instead of both "Bitcoin" and BTC.

This type of Basic how-to and or wiki is really needed.  I have been lurking around here for months, have a strong IT background and barely understand how it works and how I could  use it.

Thanks for helping people get started.

The wallet will not open for me on Windows....it crashes every single time
\
what is the error?

See my post history. I'm sure it's the same problem I've had.

yes it is the same problem....have you been able to find a remedy?
Does not work for me.

I get the same issue on windows, the wallet software appears to install ok but when you run it, it shuts down almost instantly.

Mine was working fine all day but now it shuts down almost instantly as well.  maybe they are working on some issues.
GALT, are you using win7? or what version?

I am using win 7 64 bit but it's working now.  :)
