Muse/SoundDAC / Artist coin initial distribution?
« on: November 26, 2014, 11:39:50 pm »I was just thinking, how will the artist coin be distributed. What's to stop someone with fat pockets from buying up all the coins at launch. Should the artist coins have a pre-sale launch like notes?

Stakeholder Proposals / Proposal to run voting similiar to a 401k for casual users
« on: November 21, 2014, 03:52:20 am »
If possible I think this proposal can incentivize users to vote who don’t have the time to research all the delegates. Just as we pick funds in 401k, users can pick categories for their votes.
Delegates declare the category they are working within. This will be in on the blockchain and can’t be changed later. Those categories are then used for the Poll. People who vote directly for a delegate get the full weight of their stake(current system). Those that vote through in the poll will have their vote proportionally divided by the percentage to the individual categories. Inside those categories their vote is then weighted to individual delegates based on how many individual public keys voted for those delegates.
This allows casual voters to have impact without having to research the individual delegates. An incentive can be giving to those that participate in poll. This can be set up so that they poll occurs on a certain interval (60/90 days). If you take the poll then vote for delegates directly later within the poll period, the incentive pay is repaid back to Bitshares. If have voted directly for a delegate in the past x days then you don't receive an incentive.
This system is kinda similar to US senate and house of representatives. It allows the casual users to have a similar influence to those that do take time and research and for individual delegates.
Example
As a customer of Bitshares you have direct impact on how the service is ran. How would you like your influence to be represented in the Bitshares service.

General Discussion / Look what someone has figured out...
« on: November 14, 2014, 10:58:37 pm »http://cointelegraph.com/news/112915/bnp-paribas-research-reveals-5-potential-disruptive-impacts-of-cryptocurrencies
Caught this this quote from the article,
"These initiatives might first appeal those who are already raising money through alternative channels such as crowdfunding. However, we might not be far from the day when a quoted company says that coins (that we could call ‘Bitshares’ to distinguish them from the currency coins) represent shares of its capital."

General Discussion / Delegate Classifications
« on: November 03, 2014, 05:52:56 pm »I know its been discuss to death, but i do think we need to define categories for types of delegates. Since on a technical level there is nothing to distinguish what delegates do. There should be some type of classification so at glance we know what their role is. Just like a company has different departments that focus on different aspects of the business. Here are some I thoughts of below
Marketing Delegate - promotes and expand user base. Works on branding with online/offline campaigns
Developer Delegate - Works on adding new functionality/Dapps to Bitshares
Technical Delegate - Standard delegate. Signs blocks. Help test new features/functions in client. Quality control.
Communications Delegate - Coordinates projects between delegates. Moderates communications within Bitshares (what Fuzz does )
Again there are no required code changes. Just a way to make since on what everyone is contributing if they are a delegate.

General Discussion / Using user assets for salary/development work pay
« on: November 01, 2014, 12:31:21 am »I haven't thought this out all the way, but instead of using delegates to pay salaries, could we issue user asset for that project or person? The asset would have to be set up in away where tokens can only be remove by the issuer but anyone can deposit to it. We could then have the DAC/delegates pay at a set rate but other users could donate/pay into asset as they feel necessary if they choose.
