Can you imagine if we had some sort of affiliate system where gatewasy would have had a bigger financial incentive to integrate and take on the trouble of figuring it out?

I still think that we should keep the conversation on the affiliate reward going because that would make the conversion MUCH more profitable for them and an easier sell for us.

Why can't we vote in delegates for them like we have done for BTC38 and others?

See: holytransactions.

Do you not think an affiliate system offers more direct benefit to the entrepreneur?

Agreed, I only see BitShares growing, more wallets coming out and a lot of good news. Bitcoin and all the alts are down too, we're not alone.
I'm buying BTS as fast as I can afford it too, this is one investment in my life that I refuse to miss out on.
 

You only agree because that is what you WANT it to do. You know nothing about what the future will bring. Everybody has been saying the exact same thing despite all the so called past milestones that have been reached. And look  where BTS is. It is collapsing, not growing. Users are leaving, internal market volume is shrinking, market cap and market share are shrinking....

I'm translating all of Max's videos right now too, plus I am creating open source subtitles files that can be translated into any language.

If I get voted in as a Delegate and can go full-time, then I'll be able to push Max's videos and the Wikipedia page I'm working on and such to every country on earth...

If you get voted in, you can go full time? Really? Do you know how much a full time delegate pays in real world cash right now? Practically nothing. Or is your productivity contingent on a delegate and not time or interference with your real day job. As in this is your hobby and you want to get paid to do your hobby?

I'm watching our volume and new user count more than anything. Software just sits there if we don't get the word out.

Can you provide numbers to back what you say above? If you can provide numbers then make a thread based on those numbers and no one can disagree. Numbers don't lie.

Here are some telling numbers... I clicked a random page to see the number of new users on this forum in the past on a given day, I happened to click this date https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=registered;desc;start=1080 from January, the entire page is filled up with new forum members from a single day. On the other hand, click most recent https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?action=mlist;sort=registered;desc;start=0 and it takes more than a week to fill up a page of new members.

We used to get a lot more fake accounts too...

Buying BitUSD == Selling BTS

I'm not too good with all the mechanics of the proposed bitasset 3.0 system, but does this mean that BitUSD demand will no longer positively correlate with a higher BTS valuation?

Buy BitUSD with BTS = Selling BTS = internal demand for BitUSD , so it's not positive on BTS .

Buy BitUSD with fiat or BTC = external demand for BitUSD , good for BTS .

Im pretty sure that's how it works today.  So the value proposition for Bts from bitassets hasn't changed?

An all inclusive network effect creates more value than several smaller network effects with as many users in total. That's why we are seeing gravitation towards not having multiple chains.  Same phenomenon happened with search engines.  I know things are moving fast, but reiteration is the nature of early businesses, without reiteration we stand to fail.

The dwindling interest can be attributed to a number of things:

Mainly the merger  dilution/distribution and inflation
The alienation of Adam B. Levine and Charles H.
and
The constant pivoting and changing.

I challenge you to go back and read the OG whitepaper, not the new one and compare the ideology and goals, ie the "axioms" part, and tell me how far away we are from that original idea because of the pivots and lack of progress. That is why the waining interest in  bitshares continues.

So you are proposing we do the following:

1) return to deflationary model
2) stop pivoting / changing
3) Bring Adam B. Levine back into the fold

If that is what you want then I think everyone will be very happy with what we are working on and will announce this summer.

Newmine.. just got served lol

Not enough data and too many variables for any significant correlations

I also can't get in on Fridays due to work and gotta say it's tough not being there.  Anyway we can get the raw?  Seems like delegate pay could
subsidize it

Based on everybody's feedback so far we've put together e redesign of our website and upgraded the donation flow.

To make sure everything is working correctly we'll pause the donation drive for a few hours.

In other good news, we'll put up MOONFUND tokens at 0.9 to BTS on the internal exchange today (Sunday).

Thanks everybody for your great feedback! Keep an eye out for some good news!

Nice! Thanks! Why not at 0.85 (15% rate)?

Right now I see the order at 0.870 BTS
https://bitsharesblocks.com/asset/orderbook?asset=MOONFUND

0.87 is as close to 15% as it gets (1/0.87 is 14.94%) - What I mean is they never promised 15% discount they promised 15% return.

So, basically they have changed all to what I initially wanted them to do - 1. offer the return in BTS (not USD); 2. Doing their funding in a may that has the least negative effect on the BTS price. (i.e. IOU priced in BTS not in BTC; selling the IOUs in BTC required the sell of BTS first before sponsoring their project, in the most likely cases).

The only questions remaining are: 1. Why the need to start doing it the wrong way and change midway through the process 2.At what time frame they will need to convert to actually fiat (hopefully many months, but pretty likely more than the remaining 27 days) 3.Will they actually meet the 130K USD goal 4. How long its gonna take to repay the amounts collected.

And Will enough funds be used in their wallet to get the delegates elected?
