Keyhotee / Re: Is there a Keyhotee Timeline or Development Blog?
« on: December 10, 2013, 11:57:24 pm »
Is the Keyhotee project  still on track and to go live on New Years? Haven't been updated much about the progress of Keyhotee in the last few weeks.

We have a team of developers working on it intensely.  To accelerate things we have been feeding them liquid pizza at 78 degrees C with Mountain Dew delivered intravenously at 30 PSI.

Thanks for the update Stan  :P

I have yet to see it up in the last few days, any other word/reason on why Protoshares have been off of coinmarketcap for this long?

Keyhotee / Re: Keyhotee browser plugin - a must
« on: December 10, 2013, 05:43:39 am »
I use chromebook a lot and really like it for the simplicity and security it brings. I hope that we can have at least one way to use Keyhotee in chrome os. I think browser plugin and packaged app are the 2 ways I know that could work. Third party server could work but that will break my privacy.
A plugin/app would bring an interface/platform for keyhotee to work with the browser and would not have to be centralized as it still functions off of the block chain, the only third party would be downloading the plugin.

Quick question Daniel, is the 5 percent return from your gains or what? Also where do these extra 5% gains come from

Keyhotee / Re: What's the point of keyhotee?
« on: December 03, 2013, 05:44:34 am »
I'm really excited with the ease of setup that keyhotee will offer while being able to locally decrypt data using the block chain. In terms of security, people were mentioning earlier about using the type of security the armory wallet uses but if keyhotee will allow third party addons, people could easily add 2-step authentication to provide almost impenetrable security to their wallet (something along the lines of something like digipass dynamic security)

Great specs, how much did you end up paying directly?



71
In that case do you still think you would offer dividends on Bitshares?

Phoenix: If you're interested read up on current Proof-of-Stake methods work to see how they distribute their coins, Peercoin is the largest by far right now.

All of that said a premine coin sold into existence like mastercoin secured by mining may be the best of all. 
No that is not our plan for bitshares because we do not need to raise capital for bts.

So is bitshares at the moment still planned to be traditional mining for generation of new coins? I apologize I might have been thrown off by the thread's earlier discussion.

73
Bitcoins was in the least sense of the word: Centralized.
Satoshi developed the software over a year and a half and allowed other developers to aid him completely open source.

On the other hand you're talking about controlling the money supply.

So is the plan at the moment to begin like Mastercoins and have a sell off of coins from Invictus? If so will you be selling the coins relative to the market price of Protoshares?

74
Well as I was lead to believe Mastercoin's main difference from Bitshares is that Bitshares is actually decentralized, but if it is being premined and distributed, that takes out basically the point of calling Bitshares truly decentralized.

Mining coins makes sense as a byproduct of a productive activity of a DAC, say providing encrypted wireless mesh networking bandwidth, or providing encrypted network storage space in a Tahoe-LAFS public cloud, but otherwise seems to be a senseless waste of resources. The mining aspect of Bitcoin didn't really make sense to me when I first learned about it (when it was at .10 USD), which kept me from being an early adopter at the time.

NXT has a proof of stake in development, but Mastercoin-Exodus and Bitshares have a much more professional organization as projects.

I've been through 4 different methods of coin distribution: Giveaway with huge amount held in reserve by originators- Ripple; Purchase during public offering with deadline, no cap limit - Mastercoin; Mining - Protoshares; and Public Offering with no deadline or capitalization limit posted - NXT. Of the 4, Mastercoin, with the simple purchase of shares with a set deadline and schedule of early adopter bonuses has been by far the best.

From this experience, I would favor methods including awarding bitshares to developers for work, IPOs with set deadlines or capitalization limits and bonuses for early participants, and additional creation and payment of bitshares such as providing useful computational work related to the purpose of the DAC, provision of storage space, or supplying network bandwidth. Dividends from the DAC may awarded according to Proof of Stake or maybe it would be preferable to just let the value of the shares appreciate to avoid creating a tax liability.

People who preferred Mastercoin were the ones who could buy in early. By giving these away directly you are setting up a system looking more identical and centralized like Mastercoin as well... When you only cater to people who have the money the coins will end up in the hands of not nearly as many people.
