General Discussion / Isle of Man wants to become a leading Bitcoin hub

Would be a good place to establish Bitshares legal entity.

"Blockchain entrepreneurs can move to the Isle of Man and take advantage of interesting financial and fiscal incentives. Alternatively, they can stay where they are and set up a virtual Isle of Man corporation through local registered agents and non-executive directors."

General Discussion / New DEX exchange ANN

« on: April 21, 2015, 04:15:51 pm »

Looks like the Peercoin/NuBits/NuShares guys what to start a new exchange to compete with us

"B&C Exchange will be an open-source decentralized exchange that completes cryptocurrency trades between users by utilizing multisig signers that compete for blockchain rewards based on their effectiveness and honesty. Trades will occur using real cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and NuBits, as opposed to artificial proxy cryptoassets like those found in NXT or BitShares"

Stakeholder Proposals / Delegate/Worker pay idea

« on: April 16, 2015, 10:51:04 pm »

Could separate technical delegates from workers delegates this way?

Technical delegate pay 3%-5% - Signs blocks, produce feeds.
Worker delegate/Member pay 100% - for whatever project deemed important by community.

Worker delegate is not one of the 101 delegates. They are hired separately by the block chain. They are voted in either by the delegates or all bitshares holder. If elected then each technical delegate's pay will increase by 1%. That 1% is then sent to the worker delegate as pay. If the worker underperforms, they can be voted out and the 1% increase removed from the technical delegate.
