Just a short question: Are watch-only adresses possible with TITAN. They became handy in Bitcoin ..

This series of articles/posts is intended to be an extensible work considering parts of DPOS/BitShares technically. If you feel something is missing just tell me and I will add it.
The goal is to have an article we can use to construct a FAQ for a technical description of the ecosystem.

Interesting quote:

NEM And The Altcoin Landscape

Unfortunately the altcoin landscape is currently plagued with cheap scams and elaborate pump and dump schemes along with a horde of impulsive people enjoying playing this game. However NEM has nothing to do with this landscape. While we may well go through a cambrian crypto-explosion phase, NEM seems to be already between the fittest and is only getting stronger every passing day.

I know things are more complex but for the sake of simplicity consider the following graph:

                                                                              The Altcoin Landscape                               
                             Cheap Scams          Elaborate Scams             Clones                Low Innovation         Deep Innovation
                                      I--------------------I--------------------I--------------------I--------------------I

Hey friends,

I am proud to present ThePad (tm) to you. It's basically a online-multiplayer notepad using HTML and Javascript. You can find it at:

• http://pad.BitShares.org

I'd like you to see this page as a place we can use to collectivly contribute content to the BitShares economy. The site is hosted by me (xeroc) and can also be accessed using pad.xeroc.org. There is no relationship with invictus.

My Plans with this platform are as follow:

• collect ideas for marketing, dacs, bounties, web articles, articles for the newsletter
• I'd like to see content grow over there before publishing at blogs, press or conferences
• we could even create content for several presentations useful for conferences, introductions, etc.
• many more content based services (I will add any good idea to this list)

Currently existing articles with ongoing work:

• DPOS_FeatureList
• Community_Bounties  Collection of bounties and some organizational parts on bounties (in cooperation with Clains how recently got 150PTS for that purpose)
• Charity_Delegate   My own idea setting up a delegate and using its earnings for charity, https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4582.0
• Articles for a newsletter
• Collection of topics for a newsletter
• Newsletter in general   The biggest part. As I see there is currently no time for 3i to generate high-quality newsletters on a regular bases, I'd like to collect ideas for an upcoming (community-driven) newsletter. I already added some ideas I recently read on the board together with the corresponding links. Please feel free to add any idea or to write an article (short, medium, long). The community is free to edit/proof-read any content of this server. 

An advantage of the software in place is that every single change can be reverted. Anything entered at any time is stored and can be access by the history (including a slider to see the authors typos ;-) )
If users vandalize content on purpose I might consider enabling a registered-only access-control.
Of course I am open for any comment.

One last thing: Please feel free to open up any new pad you think might contribute to the community.

Earlier today I was depating a little with CLains and I'd like you to participate in our thinkings.

We were thinking whether we could rent a community server and decouple the BitShares community from invictus to have a real independent economy. atm we are all looking towards Dan and the rest of the Invictus Team all managed by BM.

My proposal would be to
1) rent a v-server for a few bucks a month (for the time beeing a small machine should be enough)
2) get the subdomain community.bitshares.org point to that server
3) set up service:
  - etherpad for collaboration (ie, live editing of the wikipedia article, documentations, etc...)
  - podcasts
  - a community magazine
  - technical howtos
  - market analysis
  - possibly webwallet (once we have once)
  - block explorer
  - financal descriptions
  - etc (feel free to add anything to the list)
.. all under community control
... all under one domain
... all paid by ...
 oh wait could setup a delegate to to earn money for the server. Maybe we can combine this with somthing like a community delegate (see https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4582.0)

What do you think? Worth a shot?

BTW. you can check out etherpad @ pad.xeroc.org (I set it up today fo testing purpose)
