Why are users involved in creating smartcoins in the first place? Why shouldn't the blockchain produce them? Does it matter if all the collateral is put up by a user? What if creating a smartcoin was as simple as just buying it from the chain.  If I want 50 bitusd I send the equivalent value in BTS to the chain. The blockchain lockes 200% plus the 101% collateral given to it. The 1% is a fee for this instant conversion.  Same thing in reverse. I send the blockchain the 50 bitusd, it sends me 99% of the value in BTS and unlocks the other 200% it was holding. The 1% fee can be burned or used as dividend payment to bond holders.

This way shorting can work normally and not involve creating supply. The collateral used doesn't made any smartcoins. It is just used to measure position in terms of the smartcoin being shorted. Trader's can short for what they really want to do which is speculate.

How does blockchain loose tokens? They only exist on the blockchain.

NO. This is just blockchain buying and selling passively, blockchain will lose all the token.

I've been running a witness node almost since the beginning of BTS-2, and I'm against increasing witness rewards at this time. The cost for running a sufficiently reliable node (or two) is covered by the rewards, even taking some hands-on time into account. I hope this will change in the future (meaning more network load), and if the BTS exchange rate does not rise along with its utilization we should talk about raising rewards, but not now.

I am, however, strongly in favour of separating the role of block producer from the role of submitting price feeds. As others have pointed out, running a reliable server requires different kinds of expertise than providing a "correct" (whatever that may be) feed.

Let's abandon cnx/graphene and start working in our own organization/repo!

我是一个程序员，已经从业15年；从PTS发布后开始关注区块链技术，在过去的时间里一直关注PTS、Bitshare1.0、Bitshare2.0、以及框架Graphene。

在目前各种区块技术对比后，发现Bitshare2.0以及Graphene框架是相当不错的，所以加大了在技术上的学习时间。

看到社区里很多人反对Worker,于是我已经开始免费的为Bitshares2.0做一个UI。这个UI，是针对入门用户，以操作简单为目的，主要实现交易和支付功能；这个项目的源码同步公开，以方便其他人学习研究。为更多的开发爱好者参与进来做出我自己的一点贡献。

I am a programmer, has been practitioners for 15 years; from the PTS after the release of concern about the block chain technology, in the past time has been concerned about PTS, Bitshare1.0, Bitshare2.0, and framework Graphene.

In the current block technology comparison, found Bitshare2.0 and Graphene framework is quite good, so increase the technical learning time.

See a lot of people in the community against Worker, so I have started a free Bitshares2.0 UI. The UI is aimed at entry users, for the purpose of simple operation, the main realization of the transaction and payment functions; the project's source code simultaneously open to facilitate other people to study and research. For more development enthusiasts to participate in to make my own little contribution.
