The only effort I've seen be successful in this arena was Methodx's creation of the NullStreet website. The key seemed to be making something exclusive sounding and people went to it.  Like how they make people sit around outside clubs forming lines in Vegas and charge a lot. I'm not saying do this, but my attempt at community building had limited luck. Methodx's attempt was far more successful in motiviating people to participate.

Seriously though was BM compromised via the server (which means everyone should change passwords) or his own stuff...

@meda the Blockstack project is indeed a decentralized DNS project. There seem to be some similarities with the BitShares domain name system.

@gamey When you download the CLI you can perform lookups right away. And registrations are simple, all you need to do is send bitcoins to your command line wallet and then you can start registering and managing names, all in the command line.

As far as a DNS resolver goes, we don't have one available yet but that will be released soon. In the meantime, we recommend using the specialized blockstack resolvers that several organizations and developers are running. Here's one example: https://resolver.onename.com/v2/users/fred.

And there shouldn't be anything vague about our documentation. Have you seen "How Blockstack Works" (https://blockstack.org/docs/how-blockstack-works)?

Also, if you read carefully, you'll see that Blockstack only uses bitcoin to store the hashes of data records / zone files. The records themselves are stored outside of the blockchain. By default that's in a DHT but it can be configured to be stored anywhere. And additional nodes sync and backup this data. This makes it highly scalable. Also we chose to use the Bitcoin blockchain because it's the most secure by far.

Also I'd point out that the Blockstack software can be configured to work on any blockchain (using our virtualchain library). It's just that the first and only Blockstack network is currently being operated on the Bitcoin blockchain.

Well as you know there are so many projects on the internet.  When I see a webpage where everything is distilled down to what you want your product to be instead of what it currently is, I like most others, zone out. I reread your frontpage and had the same impression a second time.

That being said, after reading your explanation it seems you've made decent progress. (And thank you for giving a summary)
 
 BitShares DNS refers to a blockchain that was cancelled by Bytemaster after going live that had a several million market cap at the time. I was actually interested in working on it at the time and had actually spend several hundred dollars putting together a Windows dev machine specifically for it. So your project is interesting to me and there is a huge demand for it. I just think that until you have a seamless integration into the DNS system as a whole, it doesn't really bring much value as far as anti-censorship.  Storing data on a blockchain etc is not anything new, but I really hope you continue with your project.

Please come back and keep us informed with any milestones.

One of my largest peeves on this forum has been people taking the statements of a single person and extrapolating it to the whole community.  Repeatedly.  Some manage to take this even further ...

Regardless, it would appear that the bickering brought ivglavas to sign up, as their first post was in this thread. So I'm feeling slightly redeemed.

Meh, I'm not done here.

The funny thing is.... you guys are "smart enough to know Litecoin was dying wayyyyy before I did," but you're not smart enough to see that Bitshares is dying. Now, THAT is funny.

BTW, I never said you were new to crypto.  I said your account was "relatively new" (IIRC) but did not check my memory was shown to be wrong. I made a correction in that post.

Who is deluded here?  Really?  ...  No one here said they knew LTC was dying before you, just that it isn't some brilliant insight into CCs.  Why do you think people want to fork and try TonyK's idea?  It isn't because they think BitShares is going to the moon.  Again... your thoughts are so inconsistent.  It makes it hard to listen to you, because you never put forth ideas..  just ALL over the map. It is always nonsense like the above.

edit - wait maybe Tuck said he knew before.. whatever..  I don't care.. the point is, you turn that into "you guys".  You take any statement of one person and then turn it into some plural.  Over and over. Stick with facts and what people say.  Don't be afraid to admit you were wrong about something instead of floundering about all over the internet trying to show you were right about something.

Coinhoarder you are as deluded as anyone and you can't even think straight. After repeating myself multiple times you finally have admitted you were greatly confused.

I'm still not sure if we are supposed to blindly follow Bytemaster because you view him as having a towering intellect or if that would be the group think which you hate so much.

This forum is all over the board about dilution and it is usually the Chinese guys who hate it. 

However, thank you for explaining why you personally care so much. 

Saying that LTC is going nowhere is not some bit of brilliance... lots around here have been saying the same. Yet they're still far ahead of every other project that didn't have a huge IPO/celebrity backing.  Seems very likely it'll die eventually. I've referred to LTC as BTC 1.2 some time ago.. I don't think I'm particularly smart for realizing that, nor would I ever brag about it, but to each his own.

Here's an idea, how about we focus on attacking ideas instead of each other.

That is fine and all, but that is not CoinHoarder's mission so he will never do this.  He has a relatively new account. Swears up and down he has no stake in BTS.  Uses similar verbage of trolls past. I'm just pointing this out.  Even this thread, he derailed with nonsense, conflating this with TonyK's idea. You have to scratch yourself on the head and wonder why he cares so much, bringing it up in completely unrelated threads, trying to derail things etc.

NXT's idea was interesting to read and no I don't think they stole BTS's ideas, nor do I think many people in this thread believe as much.  Nor do I think everyone can't see the problems with TonyK's idea, they just don't all explicitly state it. 

Some people around here seem to realize that if you repeat nonsense enough, someone somewhere will start to believe it. That irks me.

Don't worry, I won't muck up this forum with my trolling the trolls. (much)

edit - Ok, someone pointed out I am wrong about the account's registration. I thought I remembered his account being summer 2015. It is summer 2014. My mistake.

You guys are delusional. Check the date on the OP compared to the date of Tony's OP. If anything Tony stole the idea from Nxt. They have been discussing similar ideas for a long time now, this is their most recent design.

You are completely confused and should stop posting until you get it straightened out. 

Which idea would Tonyk have stole?  Who are the "delusional guys" in this thread??

But besides that... TonyK's idea is not "BitShares 2.0 mojo".

In your goal to manipulate/complain/whatever you have completely confused yourself.  Nap it out for a bit, kid. Try again tomorrow. Goodluck.

You mad?

Irritated at your idiocy.
You're definitely an idiot that lacks reading comprehension.

Exhibit A: The thread title is "NXT forks Bitshares 2.0 mojo!" which refers to Nxt forking TonyK's idea (considering the link in the OP).
BitShares 2.0 is TonyK's idea?  Wooah, lemme tell him this one.
Exhibit B: Someone claims NXT stole the idea.

While we are sitting here in a circle jerk arguing about dilution, other people are taken our ideas and running with them.

This has nothing to do with TonyK's idea. Ok.  One guy says they've taken our ideas, but that doesn't equate to 'you guys are delusional.  Everyone takes everyone's ideas here.

Exhibit C: Someone agrees with Exhibit B.

Same procedure as every year ..
At least we wont have much money to spend innovating in future

Exhibit D: I did not accuse Tonyk of stealing the idea, because of the use of "if anything" and the context surrounding those words. Considering those things, that statement doesn't mean "tonyk stole the idea." It means that it is impossible for NXT to have stolen the idea. Let me dumb it down for you... It is impossible for Nxt to have stolen the dual token idea, because their OP was before Tonyk's OP, and I know (since I am a Nxt investor/supporter) that they have been tossing around this idea for a while. If anyone stole the idea (Nxt or Tonyk) it was Tonyk seeing as their idea was published first.

Their idea is for a dual token system to deal with their forging system.  So you have equity in forging.  TonyKs idea was never to create more tokens.  Just make it so you can't trade BTS outside the DEX.  There is little commonality in these ideas..  the fact that you read that into this is quite demonstrative of how out of you are.  You are blinded by your FUD mission. I am not going to spend more time on this post.  You're a fool. I gave up refuting your nonsense after the first few. 

Let me dumb it down for you. No one here suggested they stole TonyKs idea!!!!

Good luck kid, maybe you can diceroll up another 30-50 IQ points and you can make another appearance as him.
