Openledger / Re: os.merkabahnk.io will join OpenLedger's Network
« on: October 19, 2015, 09:37:39 pm »Interesting project. I like your website. You used the graphics of BitShares very well. Will you build a Fiat-On ramp for Latin america?
Due to other endevours, MERKABAHNK has a well established partnership with a local payment gateway in Colombia, which enables us to receive payments from users both online and offline. The online method allows payment from any Colombian issued debit card. If the user prefers to use the offline method, the physical locations they can go to for purchasing BitCOP, are abundant, and well spread across the country. These include: major retail stores, lotto booths, banks and money transfers.
We are driven to provide a smooth experience to our clients, and being able to add CCEDK ramps is game changing for us!
Great news. Welcome aboard!
Thanks! @donkeypong
We are very excited in doing our part for the Network.
Welcome!
This is one of the best looking websites I have seen related to Bitshares! All referral revenue be well earned
Did I understand that right that you gonna use a bitshares private bitasset for the outcome of the Colombian Peace Treaty? That would be a premiere I guess!
Hi @delulo thanks a lot! That is correct, and others are lined up in our list! Nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come, I have been waiting years for something like Graphene. I remember MERKABAHNK, issuing its first version of a UIA (TQB) back in 2012 to fund Soluciones Verdes, a Social Entrepreneurship that tackles extreme poverty in rural areas of Colombia. We publicly time-stamped each market transaction using the feeds on twitter and facebook. We got funded at the time using what we had, now we have this OS where we can migrate these shares, and give birth to its market. We have at our fingertips the most powerful toolkit, that if supported with a complete documentation, we can take our businesses to the next level, and continue to innovate. I will be posting about them when the time comes, one step at a time.

Openledger / os.merkabahnk.io will join OpenLedger's Network
« on: October 19, 2015, 04:18:57 pm »CriptoBanco Exchange will refer its user base to OpenLedger
During the past 6 months, one of my priorities has been to structure and lead a robust and secure Cryptographic-Asset Exchange Platform for professional high frequency traders with REST API, yet simple enough for beginners. Since launch, BitGo has been hosting our wallet, allowing us to offer the additional security of insurance to our clients in the unlikely event of a catastrophic failure. So far, it has been a valuable experience, having managed to attract and build a solid relationship with users across LATAM. We narrowed down our exchange listing to (COP/BTC) and (PEACE2018), the later being a prediction market contract, for speculating on the final outcome of the Colombian Peace Treaty.

BitShares 2.0 Referral Program
IMO, one of the if not the biggest challenge entrepreneurs face when creating a new exchange, is attracting liquidity. With the launch of Graphene based blockchains, this will no longer be an issue. Exchanges are now able to bootstrap their order books, like a drop of rain that falls on the face of the ocean, and becomes the ocean itself. MERKABAHNK, the parent company of CriptoBanco, will lead along with all members of the OpenLedger Network, accentuating this emerging paradigm shift in business management. At each level of complexity, there is greater potential for new organization and change. Every other exchange out there willing to survive and thrive will have to follow and upgrade their engines, the story of evolution unfolds with increasing levels of abstraction.
We halted all trading operations at CriptoBanco during the time of the BitShares 2.0 snapshot. We will deploy our strategy, and start referring our users once the referral program is properly tested.

« on: October 15, 2015, 07:41:33 am »Hi fav! witness b33lz38v8 is polished and ready to serve on your list!
are you in our telegram chat? did you participate in testnet?
Affirmative fav! I am on the telegram chat (Desktop + Mobile) and under bot monitor.
The test network was my training environment/learning center. I checked out every single tag. This window of opportunity allowed me to prepare for launch, being fully ready to serve under 12 hours after release. My duty now is to serve and scale with the network.

Muse/SoundDAC / Re: MUSE LOGO (suggestions from community)
« on: October 15, 2015, 02:09:38 am »MUSE Blockchain Logo Proposal
Cool... especially the hexagon in the background with the hidden "M" as part of the design. The hexagon suggests distributed peer-to-peer--a level and transparent playing field--and the M would be a great way of tying in to MUSE.
What about having just the hexagon, with the "M" outlined in a different color?
Thanks for the input @pendragon3, you have a trained eye indeed! I have correspondingly applied the improvements to the logo proposal.

Technical Support / Re: Publicly expressing my concern about the hard-coded hard fork to 2.0
« on: October 05, 2015, 08:36:45 pm »I believe it was more than 10 days during which time more than a half million transactions were pushed through the network with many flooding attempts.
We made a few small changes to the vote counting, but have implemented unit tests for it and the last testnet (the one the crashed and burned) verified those changes worked fine (it crashed and burned for a different reason). Perhaps the biggest reason it crashed was that 10 witnesses were on the SEED node and the seed node crashed (looks like it was due to insufficient memory on a barebones VPS) and I wasn't around for a day. In a real network no more than one witness would be on a machine and it would have been restarted. In other words, the test network was run less carefully than a real network would have been because we were testing different things.
Perhaps the most important feature we have right now is the "last irreversible block" concept which gives all participants a guarantee that even if the real network has some unscheduled down time that the last irreversible block will never be undone after the network gets back up.
All I care about is that the blockchain is RECOVERABLE in the event that consensus is disrupted. If we aim for 100% perfection on launch it will never happen.

BitShares is THE BEST investment one can possibly make in today's world market. The life stream and collateral of the super-DAC, mothership to hundreds of billions of blockchains, assets and web apps.

General Discussion / Re: Best Quotes on The BlockChain EVER!!!
« on: September 17, 2015, 05:25:32 pm »
Global Political, Social & Economical Inclusion
Quote I: The point I am trying to make is that you do not escape the world of big corporates and big government by wishing for a trustless set of technologies that collectively resemble a technocratic crypto-sovereign. Rather, you use technology as a tool within ongoing political battles, and you maintain an ongoing critical outlook towards it. The concept of the decentralised blockchain is powerful. The cold, distrustful edge of cypherpunk, though, is only empowering when it is firmly in the service of creative warm-blooded human communities situated in the physical world of dirt and grime.Perhaps this means de-emphasising the focus on how blockchains can be used to store digital assets or property, and focusing rather on those without assets. For example, think of the potential of blockchain voting systems, centralised vote-counting authorities are notorious sources of political anxiety in fragile countries. What if the ledger recording the votes cast was held by a decentralised network of citizens, with voters having a means to anonymously transmit votes to be stored on a publicly viewable database?
We do not want a future society free from people we have to trust, or one in which the most we can hope for is privacy. Rather, we want a world in which technology is used to dilute the power of those systems that cause us to doubt trust relationships. Screw escaping to Mars.

Quote II: On the blockchain, nobody knows you're a fridge.--Richard Brown
Quote III: Each device is self-sufficient in managing itself, thus managing costs and resources on its own without involving recurring expenditures for maintenance. This uses edge-based cloud computing in a distributed environment, which means the devices on the edge of the network are connected together to form their own distributed cloud.
An important aspect of this distributed cloud is the lack of trust in individual nodes. With a centralized system, trust is easier, since a central agency manages all the devices and their identities and potentially weeds out the bad nodes. However, with potentially hundreds of billions of devices coming online, this is a next to impossible task. The core of this new approach is built upon the Block Chain, a model of distributed computing leveraging the architecture of BitCoin (without the financial component). Using the Block Chain we can implement the typical transaction processing work done by centralized data centers without any of the cost associated with those systems by using compute power generated by individual devices that would, in most cases, go to waste. These distributed, Block Chain-based services will run on new transport protocols as well.
it is the first time that devices can act in the financial markets completely independent of any human interference. An algorithm can generate its own wallet that enables it to trade with other algorithms. When these sit on top of things, it means everyday household and work items can in fact participate in financial dealings with one another and to the outside world
