Bitshares XT is not the final product .. you can see it as a testnet for testing dpos and snapahots for the first final bitsharesX chain

There is not so much talk atm

+plus .. releasing a blockchain is worth investigatin alot. I do not want a blockchain i.e. protocol to change after launch!!!!

+ education and knowledge/fear of unknown

Such a DAC might be good, but we should not over complicate things and excuse our doing something simple by staring into a complex optimal solution.For certain bounties, we get the tech gurus to judge, for others we get a few members of the community to judge, for others we might hardly need judging, etc. This is the cyberpunk solution, but we know from other communities that it can be used to great effect, so the possibility of an optimal, or even just better solution, should not weigh us down from doing what we can now.

We could just put up a poll on this forum if we decide to do monthly awards, for instance:

Most inspirational post of the month,
Most helpful member of the month,
Best constructive feedback of the month,
..
..

Awards could be PTS from the bounty pool,
donations from community members,
gifts from I3,
being featured on a section of the bitshares page,
..
..

One recent thought I had is that it is important to highlight users,
show appreciation for their contribution,
and give their reputation a memory in the system.

Please add this to "the pad" (tm)

The sources of the bitshares wallet could have a CONTRIBUTORS file and a AUTHORS file as several other open source projects have. Putting a name there might seen as a highlight :-)

(New site on wp base)
A Little more patience - new site is on the Way and will launched soon...

wp == wordpress?

So a few more community members could get read/write access to articles to that we can work that site, too?

I personally, like static (s)HTML pages more but for collaboration WP might be a better choice!

Thanks for keeping us posted

Just added the content of this thead to the pad.

@Stan, be it so .. bitshares.org is the community. acknowledged!

I will activly work on the bitshares.org webpage and look what parts I can expand.

I think working in a etherpad might get handy. I will give it a try and write down my thoughts.
