Could it be a stand-alone third party site like a coupon or incentive program? It wouldn't need to be profitable, just break even. Or would it need to plug into BitShares X for the account info? If it were the former, someone like you might create something, and I'd gladly help you. If it needs to plug in directly to the code, that's where I think you'll hit a roadblock. There are a limited # of programmers working on BTSX and they'd probably much prefer to work on other aspects of it.

This is not an idea for the BitShares exchange. It's a business model for other DACs built on separate blockchains.

I dont think the bitUSD is trading at a discount because of lack of confidence. My guess is that it reflects the volatility in btsx. The market is saying "I think btsx could go up by 33% before i could get my BTSX out of bitusd and back into pure BTSX"

Its because, one, the market is bullish on BTSX and ,two, traders/investors don't know how to or don't believe its possible to get BTSX in and out of bitUSD quickly enough to react to the BTSX market volatility.

I dont understand if the problem is down to the BitUSD market not being fluid enough or people not understanding how to use the platform. Either way bitusd will get closer and closer to parity as the market becomes more fluid and traders/investors become more educated.
