Some members have already expressed concern with this new name, as one of the biggest bands known of had the exact same name. Could we have some input from Peertracks staff?

Are you going forward with this? What about possible consequences?

If someone could clarify the situation here. I think everything is alright since AGS were donations and then donated PTS got sent back to original owners but i'm not sure

Why are there delegates with 0 active feeds? I count 27 and I find it odd they're not publishing them. Is there a special reason for this or they just don't do it because they don't want to. Is there anything keeping them from publishing feeds?

Whoever agrees with that will be chased down by bitcoiners like the Inquisition did in the past lol

But right or wrong, it touches an interesting point, the fact that reaching consensus on bitcoin seems a bit harder than expected and that "Bitcoin will be the victim of some “pioneer’s penalty” if it fails to add anything more to the table. In simple words, who will use an acoustic string telephone when he could access a mobile phone."

Meaning in the future it might fail to adapt if needed to be. Honestly that has been concerning me for quite a while.

Saw that article. I don't know the costs but I sure hell would love to see what could they make for BitShares 

"“A film makes your website much more attractive, it generates more traffic and more revenues. We know how to turn even the most complex and abstract matter into an entertaining movie. We are specialized in films for the Bitcoin and Blockchain industry. So if you run a Bitcoin-based business and want to make it more successful.”

I think this is needed. It can open many doors for a variety of other things we can do with BitShares, namely some kind of marketplace even though we already have multiple ones around so no need to reinvent the wheel, lending or insurance?

So first, do you think this is needed for BitShares?
If yes, do you think this should be a priority or not? Don't forget the issues we need to solve first in the upcoming releases.

Second, what kind of reputation system would be better?

A. 1 rep point per user? People could easily abuse this to vote others down
B. 1 rep point per BTS? Could balance things out. Just like how delegates are voted in. A mad whale could destroy someone's reputation, even though that person is legit. Or do you think long term the community would balance things out? What about Voting Apathy? If someone builds up rep and performs an exit scam, the community could be too slow to react and he could scam multiple people while he isn't voted down?
C. 1 rep point per user with more than X BTS on their account. Kind of solves both of the problems above, however, not completely the first one I guess, it's just a matter of distributing your BTS through multiple accounts.

Should rep points one user can give be proportional to the reputation points he has? For example, a user with 100 reputation points would be more influentional than a user with 50 rep points. Would this be fair, could this be abused? What do you think?
