Prediction markets are extremely important and we will regret not being the first
Maybe we cut our block times so we can get a nice pump going as well.
The reduced block times are just the banner of the pump. A pump group can use any fancy new feature this way, it doesn't have to be reduced block times (in fact I'd say that's a pretty weak feature to pump on really). Ultimately this is entirely market manipulation and an attempt to catch fools that buy into the euphoria. At the same time it's also quite good marketing for the coin (assuming the dump isn't too violent), suddenly darkcoin is a hot topic and people who had otherwise forgotten about it might revisit it again.
You don't necessarily have to spend money to make money. Bitcoin didn't. Yes it's definitely better if we can, but I'm just trying to make the point that it isn't 100% necessary. I've been working full time for free for months now and I'm aware of several others in similar positions. I really dislike these kind of "we need something, anything" type posts like we haven't got a light wallet on the way, or multiple bridges, or a zero click shopping cart, or a massive decentralized marketing effort or multiple media projects or about 20 different teams working on other awesome stuff. If you want to increase the cap, bring attention to these things and highlight them! If you keep pretending nothing is going on then you will decrease the cap.
As a dev delegate I am expected to take a haircut in terms of pay but I also expect to work part-time because it won't pay the bills... I have a full-time job and work on this stuff on the side so this is the kind of person that would fit the description for a developer delegate right now... when things change maybe you can have full-time devs once price rises but I expect this to be an early adoption phase so I'm holding as many as I can get assuming they are worth alot more in the future... to me its not the amount of fiat I am making but the amount of BTS and the amount I am happy with for the project I work on. Just like its not enough right now there will be a time when its TOO much.. so if we stay the line now.. we will reap the benefits later.
Also once a dev has enough experience he/she becomes a perfectionist.. and usually wants to do good work, automatically putting more hours in to make sure they release good tools, especially ones that may change the world... usually will make up for the fact that the pay is less (atleast for me). Usually devs are good at holding because they know they can raise value by developing.
So in summary, the devs that are delegates now are not depending on the pay to put food on the table.. but ones that fit the bill are the ones who are holding now to be "whales" in the future. If I was to interview a dev for a delegate job I would make sure they fit this personality trait, it will bring the most benefit in the least amount of time(time is of essence)
At current market cap, he's not making much
This was expected, and for me a big part of the reason why BTS is going to fail. Developers and others need to be paid, some of them have only this as their job, and with ever decreasing we would need more dilution causing more lowering in price; while other groups can happily fork the efforts and with good marketing can become successful. I only hope they sharedrop on us too.
BTS is NOT going to fail! You are leaving out of the equation the value being added by the delegates which is soon going to become more and more apparent. You are therefore, for whatever your personal reason (fear of success?), just spreading FUD.
And this is not first time of sumantso spreading FUD
Yes for cass second delegate
Someone brought up a question about adding additional coins.

While we are constantly monitoring the situation of other cryptocurrencies, we are more focused on the growth and development of bitcoin. We are all strong believers in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency and general and want to work towards ensuring a bright future for them. However, at this this time we are focused on improving the usability of Bitcoin through OKLink as well as the ability to trade bitcoin on OKCoin.
If an altcoin comes along that we believe has a bright future and adds more to the table, we will definitely look into it.
I think many altcoins are experimenting with the capabilities of the blockchain and what cryptocurrencies can do and look forward to seeing how many of them plan out, for example: storj, ripple, ethereum.

This is a really clever use of marketing funds because it'll kickstart the popularity of the pool and people will likely stay with bitUSD once they've tried it.
You had to have BTS before some time in december to get PLAY out of it.I held BTS throughout, but when I go to AngelShares Explorer here, http://www1.agsexplorer.com, and type my account name into balances, it is showing just zeros for Play. Why would this be? Is there another way to check the allocation?
Too bad. One of these days I would love to see a child DAC on the BitShares blockchain that uses BitUSD (rather than attempting to create their own BitAssets, thus splitting liquidity) and still retains the flexibility to hard fork as their shareholders want without disrupting the parent DAC's operations.
I still (not so) secretly hope that Music and Play will both eventually decide to "move in to their own condo in their parent's apartment complex" (i.e. have their own blockchain as a child DAC of BitShares where the core stake is listed on the BitShares blockchain) after trying to make it out on their own for a while.
