Ha, I got a notification in my email from Bitreserve that the article was posted about the same time they took it down.

@wasthatawolf, do you have any idea why the bid price for BitUSD is reported higher than the ask price over the period of time roughly spanning Jan 22 to Jan 26? That is something that I thought would be impossible. It is resulting in a negative spread!

Edit: Also, the last time the price data was updated was Feb 01 2015 01:45:03 GMT.

Doesn't look like the bitsharesblocks API from @svk is working... http://www.bitsharesblocks.com:2086/api/feedstats

My guess is there was an issue with the data from that API for those 4 days in January.

For a quick dollar to dollar comparison with the centralized competition...
Shapeshift adding us is great.
But how is it decentralized?
I see them using bter to buy and sell BTS and bitusd.

The comparison is between Bitreserve USD and Bitshares USD

Shapeshift is just the conduit

General Discussion / Re: 100% burn+"filler" delegates and the "cutoff" delegate

Won't adding this delegate to other trusted delegates' slate compromise its entire purpose?

Don't we want stakeholders to explicitly vote for this delegate if they believe its approval rating is lower than what they think the vote-of-no-confidence threshold should be and to take away some or all of their vote if they think the approval rating is higher than what they think the threshold should be? If this is added to the slate of well established delegates, then I don't think we can really infer much from the approval rating of the "paid-delegate-cutoff.misc.nikolai" delegate, which defeats its entire purpose.

Wherever the cutoff delegate ends up will be a function of several factors: actual voter intent, overall voter participation, and the wants and needs of large stakeholders.  Trying to distinguish which factor caused it to move the most is going to be pretty difficult.

I'm not convinced this method is any better or worse than a traditional vote.

I wonder why Bytemaster was so confident the on-ramp would be available by the end of 2014...

That's the $1,000,000 question now isn't it?

That just illustrates the need to be cautious and take such statements with a grain of salt unless they are backed by factual evidence to support them. I'm beginning to learn that my optimism for BitShares progress may need to be dialed back a notch or 2. In far less than 6 months there have been some major changes and mistakes here such as with marketing. I remain optimistic but each of these cost a few points of confidence / optimism.

I feel much the same way. 

The best metaphor I could think of that helped me to better understand the issues that have come up is to view Bitshares as a ship and the dev team as the shipbuilders.  At the end of the day, you can't expect the shipbuilders to be experts at piloting the ship they're building, no matter how well it's built.  For the most part, all the missteps we've seen to this point have been on the business side of things.  Until Bitshares finds an experienced captain and crew (business development team), it's going to be difficult to break through and gain any sort of traction in any market.

Going back and forth with their devs by email, they are actively on it. Their last estimate was "a few days".

We have an email thread going right now where I am helping them with integration.

Awesome, thanks for the update.
