Thanks for the writeup. Just watched the stream and that sums it up pretty well.

In the beginning of the crowdfund a market cap of roughly $40M seemed a bit high to buy in, but in light of recent altcoin pumps it looks pretty tempting now. I hope that you guys get some more money in the last week

@kenCode is the last chance of bts to succeed together with a coordinated marketing. And more specifically stealth IMHO..if that fails then..

By the way. Seeing bts bleeding and bleeding I am starting to think that maybe someone should fork bts,go back to fixed supply of 2billion which is reduced constantly by burning supply from fees.essentially go back to bts1 but rename it bts3 and sharedrop to bts holders excluding exchanges and let the market decide of that value. apparently cryptoinvestors want deflationary tokens not inflationary and this should be obvious to everyone in this community after 3 years of bleeding. What do u guys think?

Find me a cryptocurrency that isn't diluting its supply FAR more than bitshares is.  In fact, the only Bitshares dilution is witness pay and the somewhat minimally used worker proposal system.  Witness pay is tiny compared to the dilution of, for example, Bitcoin.  So that cost can easily be more than offset by fees as we gain traction. That's kind of the beauty of delegated proof of stake in case you weren't aware of that.   As for worker proposals, are you saying no development should be done at this stage?     

I agree. Dilution isn't the problem at this point in time. (Even the end of the merger vesting period didn't change much.) What we need is active development and a fresh perspective. To outsiders BitShares just looks dead, that's the problem. In the beginning it felt like we had a head start to everyone else but by now competition has evolved more than BTS did.

Sharedrop benefits everyone proportionately while buyback and burn benefits those who perfectly place their orders and sell at the max buyback price, benefiting the few.

Exactly. Especially as large amounts of OBITS are still unsold. The one party benefiting the most from buyback&burn scheme is CCEDK itself.

Awesome! Something like this has great potential imo. I would definitely buy some Liquidity is probably going to be a serious problem though. (I really think we need a way to pay interest to shorters...)

I'm also trying to understand the need of witness in this index. So it's a UIA traded index? like what Cyber.Fund have build on BitShares (SPIES).

No, this is not an UIA. It is a smartcoin like bitUSD, bitGOLD etc. No third party is actually holding altcoins, it is just a derivative powered by the DEX. Hence witnesses are needed to provide the price feed.

Everything worked out for me. Huge thanks to the Steemit support team. Great way to handle a situation like this.

We are launching a consumer-facing product in MAY!
