What merger?

The merger of BitShares, Vote, and DNS into one all-consuming super-powerful mega-supreme-overlord DAC to rule them all. BTS supply was inflated to 2.5 billion from 2 billion to effectively "buy out" these chains and have BM and the rest of the devs focus on one DAC instead of creating many mini-DACs.

Riots ensued. Them was dark times...

Probably not supposed to talk about it ( ), but it was mainly the fact that toast was gonna allocate his pay to other delegates while he helps out with Music for a bit.

24 hours from now -- "Way to jinx it lil_jay890".

 

lol but in all seriousness this is long overdue.

BitShares PTS is #3 on CMC 

Guys....we finally did it. We OVERTOOK LITECOIN!!!!

Oh wait, PTS. Carry on.

Must mean taxes are finally paid off. Lol. Probably helps that a decent chunk of available-for-sale BTS are currently locked in the abyss of BTER.

Too bad there's no specific mention of BitShares. At least the Larimers get some credit where due.

While it's nice to see some activity, there's still the nagging issue of low developer transparency. Too many of us feel completely out of the loop as to what developments are taking place, who's working on what, where we're headed, and what our timelines are. These details are important to secure investor confidence.

That is a  problem with a very simple solution.  In fact bytemaster himself has been exemplifying this strategy ever since it was made available to him (over one year ago now).

They only have to show up and I organize everything else. ..

So tell me,  when something is so easy and freely available. ..why is it underutilized?   Is it not obvious that communication and teamwork are what we need most?

I agree, the mumbles are a great way to get everyone communicating. Too bad they're always during work time for me, or maybe I'd try popping in sometime.

I have a feeling tomorrow's mumble will be interesting...

That's not easy for common user to participate .
It need to be some sort of standard operation , like diagram , project management flow chart ...etc .
Lack of that lead to the misunderstanding of low-transparency . In fact many documents are not available .

Agreed. An easy to see, frequently updated reference piece with concrete details and precise plans is what investors want to see.

GitHub activity seems to be at an all-time low. Milestone issues have remained practically unchanged for the past 1-2 weeks. BTS 0.6.2 is already 4 days past due.

Now there's talk of dev time going to Music/Play. I truly feel that at the rate we're going, we will be completely dominated by these "powered by BitShares" competitors because they have none of the bad PR, inflation issues, or merger bad-taste-in-mouth problems going on in BTS. How could we possibly compete, when inflation keeps dwindling our market cap, little seems to be truly advancing development-wise, and the devs aren't keeping us in the loop (in regards to concrete timelines, current focuses, etc)?

Seriously -- what is going on? As a shareholder in this "company" I feel a bit of transparency is sorely needed.
