Can you help test "wss://valen-tin.fr:8090/ws" which is provided by @linouxis9, located in France?

Feedback needed.

If all OK we should add it to default server list.

According to http://docs.bitshares.org/bitshares/user/assets-faq.html#fee-pool, to avoid unexpected loss, UIA issuers need to keep an eye on the fee pool as well as the market, adjust CER(core exchange rate) when needed.

What is the fee pool all about?
The fee pool allows participants in the network to deal with assets and pay for the transaction fees without the need to hold BTS. Any transaction fee can be paid by paying any asset that has a core exchange rate (i.e. a price) at which the asset can be exchange implicitly into BTS to cover the network fee. If the asset’s fee pool is funded, the fees can be payed in the native UIA instead of BTS.

Note
The core exchange rate at which a fee can be exchanged into BTS may differ from the actual market valuation of the asset. A user, thus, may pay a premium or spare funds by paying in BTS.

Warning
Make sure your core exchange rate is higher than the lowest ask, otherwise, people will buy your token from the market and drain your fee pool via implicit arbitrage.

It is the task of the issuer to keep the fee pool funded and the core exchange rate updated unless he wants the owner of his asset to be required to hold BTS for the fee.

The fee pool acts like the asset issuer placed a bid order (buy asset, sell BTS) in the system with CER as the price/rate. When a participant wants to pay a fee in the asset but not in BTS, actually she sells some asset to the issuer. If there is an ask order in the market which is selling some assets for less BTS, an opportunist can buy asset from market, then sell to the issuer to get an instant profit.

Currently, issues can run bots to adjust CER automatically.

So here comes an idea: why don't we have a built-in feature that adjusts CER automatically?

My proposal:
* issuer can set a parameter on the asset: P%, when the market moves, the system automatically adjust CER to "a_fair_base_price" * (1 + P%)
* make this feature opt-in, which means UIA issuers can enable it or disable it at will

Potential options for "a_fair_base_price" includes:
[easier to implement]
* current highest bid
* current lowest ask
* latest order filling price
* a calculation based on above values
[harder to implement]
* [weighted]average/lowest/highest filling_price/bid_price/ask_price in last X hours
* a calculation based on above values

In a liquid market, the automatic adjusting may work just fine (see price feeding for smart coins).
In an illiquid market, there may be people try to manipulate the price, so maybe automatic adjusting won't work.
 
Extended thoughts: probably we can adjust settlement_price of smart coins in similar way, so eliminate the need of price feeds?

More thoughts?

Registered members of the Republican party in Utah will be able to nominate a candidate for the United States Presidency by placing a vote without having to visit polling stations by submitting them via the internet at the party’s website. The votes will be submitted and secured on a blockchain.

How about Follow my vote? @ak

How about make a MUSE sidechain first? MUSE is also a Graphene based chain, it would be much easier to implement.

Rate Limited Free Transactions Feature Implemented.

Features:
* Committee can define the rate of coin-days to be converted to fees,
   for example, normal users can have: 1K BTS * 1day -> 1BTS of fee,  AM 1KBTS * 1day = 2 BTS of fee, LTM 1KBTS*1day=5BTS of fee

* Committee can define a cap of coin-days used for fees for each operation.
   for example, users can use coin-days to pay 10BTS of transfer fee, or 1 BTS of market order creating fee, or etc

* Committee can define a cap for every account type(LTM/AM/normal user), so a user would be unable to spam 100 or more free transactions at same time.
   for example, LTMs will have a cap of 100BTS, AM 50BTS, normal user 30BTS.

So if you're an LTM, and you have 1M BTS in your account, you can accumulate 5000 BTS of fees per day, or about 3.5BTS per minute. In case when transfer fee is 30BTS and the committee set the free-fee cap of transfer to 30BTS , you can transfer once for free every 10 minutes.

Have fun!!

By the way, @JonnyBitcoin @fav would you like to vote for my worker proposal "1.14.29   [BSIP10] Percentage-based transfer fee solution based on CER"?

Start.
Give every normal user a full "mineral bag".
By paying a bag of minerals, the user can do a flat fee transfer once for free. The bag then become empty.
The minerals in the bag will evaporate after 24 hours if not used. The bag then become empty.
When the bag is empty, the user can start "mining".
4 hours after started mining, the bag will be full.
The user have to rest for 20 hours to be able to mine again.
Repeat.

Advanced users (annual subscriber):
Advanced users have 2 bags.
Advanced users can mine a bag of minerals in 2 hours.
Advanced users can mine again after rested for 10 hours.
Advanced users equipped special bags so minerals will evaporate only after 48 hours.

Elite users (lifetime member):
Elite users have 3 bags.
Elite users can mine a bag of minerals in 1 hour.
Elite users can mine again after rested for 5 hours.
Elite users equipped high-tech bags so minerals will evaporate after 72 hours.

Happy mining
