I still have the problem that allthough I have sent BTC to the account and it is visible in the deposits/withdrawals I can not trade with it at the BTS:BTC market because balance BTC in the "buy BTS" frame is zero.
You have open.btc, so look for bts_open.btc market, you are looking at bitbtc market

Openledger / Re: OPEN.STEEM withdrawal option is gone without notice and market has no liquidity

TaleRecursion, send your OPEN.STEEM to account 'steemit' on BitShares and include your STEEM account name in the memo and I will transfer the STEEM to you. 

My understanding was that OL / Blocktrades would process withdraw requests manually for any that did come up.  I was very surprised to learn that Dan would be on vacation at this time.

OpenLedger has 6302 STEEM on deposit.

http://steemit.com/@openledger

Anyone looking to unwind their order on OPEN.STEEM / OPEN.BTC can send me your OPEN.STEEM from the account they executed the trade(s) on.  I can unwind any trades executed by steemit which totals 1.67 OPEN.BTC worth of trades.  These trades were executed with the desire to help people get into STEEM and help bootstrap the market / price discovery.

To answer the original OP's complaint about the withdrawal being added and then removed, I apologize for that. it appears this resulted from another misunderstanding between CNX and I. To be clear, withdrawal has never been enabled for OPEN.STEEM since we didn't have the ability to automatically process it at that point. Unfortunately, the web wallet code that displays it in the gateway was added by a CNX employee without prior consultation with us, so I asked them to remove it as soon as I found out, since it wasn't yet functional. I don't think there was any "sneaky" intent in any of this, I think it was just a bit too much eagerness to start this market.

Finally, to the best of my knowledge, the gateway has been sufficiently tested this weekend on our development system, so I believe the deposit/withdrawal capability will be enabled today, although it will probably be need to used with a "manual" memo added until the next webwallet client is released sometime this week (probably very soon, but I'm away on vacation so it's difficult for me to say with certainty).

General Discussion / Re: Should BTS end merger vesting BTS early?
« on: April 16, 2016, 11:35:28 pm »
I was always opposed to the merger (even without understanding all the ramifications of it) and the way it was essentially "forced" on the community. And, IMO, it turned out to be in the top 3 or 4 "disasters" for bitshares (probably #2). It totally failed at its stated purpose (which was never adequately explained anyways), it wasn't decided very democratically,  it killed a number of funding opportunities, directly and indirectly cost BitShares two core developers (toast and Nathan), brought us another even more ineffective and expensive marketing manager that ultimately led the community to conclude that hiring an effective and reasonably priced marketing manager wasn't possible (something I don't think is true), introduced a lot of unnecessary inflation, and disenchanted a lot of loyal BTS followers.

On a personal level, it cost me some of my BTS ownership, as I wasn't a donator after the first BTS snapshot, since I thought most of the value proposition of AGS was tied to that snapshot. I liked a lot of the other plans in theory, but they were all high-risk long term plays, and I didn't see sufficient experienced manpower and funding to make those teams effective.

Despite the personal cost to me, I have to agree with gamey that changing the rules at this point would make us guilty of the same thing that was done to us, so I'm voting against this plan.

General Discussion / Re: So what is everyone's thoughts on the Bitshares platform & ecosystem now?
« on: April 16, 2016, 04:08:20 pm »
I think BitShares 2 has been slowly gaining momentum in the past five or six months as the infrastructure being built on top of it has improved. That infrastructure includes an ever-improving GUI, improved documentation and libraries to make it easy for 3rd party programmers to interact with it, many new and interesting types of assets to trade, one of the coolest blockchain explorers around, and even new ways to finance improvements to the blockchain itself such as FBAs.  And it's all being built on top of what is, to my knowledge, still the fastest blockchain around. And all of this infrastructure has been done during a time when BM and more than half of the CNX crew have been off working on STEEM. This is one of the reasons why I'm not too worried about the future of BitShares. In fact, I'm confident enough that I've actually been increasing BlockTrades' holdings in BTS lately.

There are many ways one can try to quantify how a blockchain is doing, and most people focus on marketcap, but this can often be misleading as it's driven primarily by short term speculation in cryptocurrency. For BitShares, I tend to focus on how it's performing in it's stated primary business: a decentralized exchange. So one of the metrics I like to look at is the number of "fills" shown on www.cryptofresh.com/charts. With a little smoothing, it shows a nice steady increase from around November 2015 onwards.
As we demonstrate the ability of BitShares to beat traditional exchanges in time-to-market on introducing new asset types, I expect this trend to accelerate.

General Discussion / MKR Bridge on BlockTrades
« on: April 15, 2016, 10:13:00 pm »
BlockTrades now has a bridge between Ethereum MKR and BitShares MKR (the coins backed by makerDAO). The bridge can be used from the webwallet or directly via http://blocktrades.us.

A side-benefit of this new addition to our "coin collection" is we'll be able to use the same technology to easily offer UIAs for other Ethereum tokens in the future such as DigixDao (DGD).

We're upgrading the software and hardware for the OpenLedger cryptocurrency gateways on Saturday. We hope to complete the upgrade within 1 hour, but it might take as long as 2 hours. During the upgrade period, it will not be possible to deposit and withdraw OPEN assets from OpenLedger, so please plan accordingly.

how do i deposit BTS to my open ledger account from exchange likes Polo or Bittrex?
Just withdraw the BTS to your openledger account name (name shown in webwallet). With OpenLedger, your account is your own wallet.

If this is an actual stock share then am I right that this will be the first actual (legal) company share issued on the blockchain open to retail investors? I know others have done it like Overstock but they weren't available for the likes of me to buy. Maybe there are others I've missed but I can't think of any.
As far as I'm aware, these would be the first actual legal shares issued on the BitShares blockchain, but it's possible it's been done on another blockchain. It would be kind of cool if it turns out these are the first ever, though, would be a nice press release if so.

General Discussion / Re: Yunbi started voting against all workers except refund/burn workers

What criteria determines if a worker is voted in or not?  Looking at the voting report on cryptofresh I see that only one worker has > 50% approval, which is svk.  However several others are green.
I "think" it works like this, but someone may need to correct me: There's a fixed amount of funds available to be distributed each day. The top voted worker gets its funds first, then so on down the list, until there's no more to give out (so the last worker funded may only be partially funded). The way you vote against any real person being funded (or at least to set a threshold for how many votes they need in order to be funded) is to vote for the "refund" or "burn" workers. Funds accumulated by the refund worker go back into the "reserve pool" from which the worker funds are paid. Funds collected by the "burn" workers are destroyed (the overall supply of BTS decreases). There's sufficient refund workers to eat up all the available funds to be paid out per day, in which case no real workers get funded.

So voting for a refund worker is making a statement like "I don't want to pay for the current workers at current prices, but it may make sense to pay workers in the future". Voting for a burn worker is more like saying "I think there's too many funds allocated for workers to be paid in the future, let's reduce the supply".

According to http://www.cryptofresh.com/workers, the current daily budget that can be paid to workers is ~315K BTS. Of this, about 87K is being paid to workers, and the rest is being transferred back to the reserve pool by the refund400k worker.
