We are making a few changes to our hosting infrastructure to better support the growth in volume of users and the geographic diversity of our visits. For this reason the forum will not be available temporarily between 11PM and 3AM Central time Wednesday 22nd July.

The forum software is going to stay the same, we are simply transferring everything to AWS.

EDIT 1:
Our next maintenance is scheduled on Sunday evening 07/26 from 11PM to 3AM CST. During this time we might experience service outage.

Edit 2:
We have moved to a new server, please report any problem here. Thank you for your support and sorry for any inconvenience.

Hi guys,

https://moonstone.io/ fundraiser app is live now.

In this thread any and all questions and problems will be answered by us.

Hi everybody!

This is the official Moonstone development and crowdfunder diary. We will get all updates as soon as possible to this thread, so please subscribe to this thread if you want to be up to date!

Moonstone development is continuing in great steps.We will be presenting the frontend for the first time at the Texas Bitcoin Conference March 28th. You'll be able to see the initial screenshots in our upcoming bitshares.tv video interview (thanks Max!).

Moonstone.io is currently being translated to Mandarin Chinese. The video is already available with Mandarin subtitles.

We are proud to announce that we will be integrating metaexchange natively with the Moonstone wallet. This means that you will be able to exchange BitShares and related UIAs within the wallet with BTC. The Metaexchange team will also help us in the crowdfunder with their phenomenal exchange daemon. We believe that this might be the future of how these crowdfunders will happen. Because we require a pay to public key functionality form the Metaexchange daemon we decided to be push back the crowdfunder campaign until that is developed. The new crowdfunding starting date is now April 7th  9th.

Until the end of March we will disclose the full timeline for future feature releases such as Identity Verification for gateway services, multi-blockchain support (including Bitcoin through the Bitcore wallet suite), and multisig support.

EDDIT April 5th:

We have decided to hold the fundraiser exclusively in BTC, there won't be a BTS or bitAsset option. The reasons are that the liquidity between BTS and BTC is so low that selling 130k USD worth opf BTS into BTC to cash out into fiat would according to our calculations move the market simply too much.

However we would like everybody to take part in the poll in this thread and let us know whether you would like to get 1.15 USD or 1.15 BTS through a buyback. Our original plan was to do a bitUSD buyback but it seems there might be interest in doing the unit of account in terms of BTS rather than USD. After all, the community is long on BTS.

Depending on the outcome of the poll we might have to postpone the crowdfunding campaign another day.

Please vote in the poll in this thread and let us know what you think!

EDDIT April 6th:

Based on the outcome of the poll we have decided to denominate the buyback in terms of BTS. This means that for every BTC you send in the price will be converted into the equivalent in terms of BTS at the time of donation, and you will receive 1.15 Moonstone tokens for every BTS equivalent you donated.

To accomodate the changes and to do some more testing on our crowdfunder setup we are postponing the start of the crowdfunding campaign to April 9th.

Once the wallet is released as version 1.0 the buyback with the d delegates will commence. Our delegates will be operational and can be voted in by May.

Final Timeline:

• Thursday, April 9th 2015 12.00 PM UTC (noon) the crowdfunding campaign will start
• Saturday, May 9th 2015 12.00 PM UTC (noon) the crowdfunding campaign ends.
• May: The wallet software version 0.9 final public test release will be made (with the MIT license if the crowdfunder reaches our goal of 130k USD)
• June: Version 1.0 of the wallet is released after extensive public testing.

If you have any questions please let us know!

EDIT April 10th:

It seems that there is such a strong interest to donate BTS rather than BTC our crowdfunder that some people are thinking about buying MOONFUND tokens on the internal exchange straight with BTS. (See this thread https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,15663.0/topicseen.html)

We're opening therefore a poll to see whether enough people are interested in us putting a sell order of Moonstones at about 0.9-0.92 BTS on the internal exchange. This way almost everybody should be able to participate (though at a slightly lower potential return rate, as we still need to cash out to fiat for operations). We would then also need to update the funds collected on the website manually a few times a day.

Please let us know what you think, and please vote in the poll!

Hi everybody,

After quite an interesting discussion on our last thread we convened with the team and tried to come up with an alternative proposal.

Our new fundraiser proposal:

• February: Launch the Moonstone landing page and get the word out.
• March: We’ll do a scaled kickstarter with a minimum of 130,000 USD worth in BTC/BTS and no upper limit. Donation period will be 30 days.
• We’ll map everybody’s public keys and send Bitsapphire UIAs to the corresponding public keys on BitShares. For every USD worth in BTC/BTS you send you’ll get 1.15 Bitsapphire UIAs (we have increased it from 1.1 to 1.15 due to higher risk as a result of opt-out delegates).
• Once the campaign ends and we reach the sufficient budget, both the frontend and backend of the wallet will be released under the MIT license (this means that anybody will have the right to use our code also for for-profit reasons). This is especially appealing to projects out there which need lightweight DPOS wallets but don’t want to develop it themselves. Future DPOS forked projects will also be able to easily use the code.
• The wallet will have 5 opt-out delegates which can be deselected upon installation and whenever you want. All proceedings from the delegates will be converted to bitUSD. 100% of these bitUSD will be used to set 1:1 buy orders for the Bitsapphire UIAs you received. Further monetization efforts will be reviewed later on by Bitsapphire (such as featured assets, markets, etc)
• This means that anybody who sent donations will receive 15% more than put in. Depending on the BTS market cap, this means that you’ll effectively get your donation back in 5-30 months (rough calculation based on historical BTS market cap, not binding and dependent on Delegate proceedings).
• If we fail to reach our budget the Moonstone Angular frontend will be released under the more restrictive GPL3 license which makes it impossible to use the code for for-profit reasons. The backend which makes the light client possible remains closed source. Nonetheless, the wallet will be released with the same number of delegates and whatever budget we got will be converted as planned with a 1:1 ratio.

All funds received are considered donations, no actions on our part are binding in any way. However, similar to the BitShares no-force approach we intend on following through with the above steps (unless the community gives us at this point good counter arguments or better proposals).

What are your thoughts on the improved fundraiser proposal?

There has been recently interest in creating a board to get the miners involved. The minebitshares project by nethyb has been pretty successful so far. We would like everyone to invite to the newest outreach board "Mine Bitshares"!

Hello all,

After the recent forum software update we are going to update the look and feel of the forum slightly step by step as to not disturb the usage patterns of anybody using the forum. The forum software will remain SMF.

We will start with simple CSS changes and will work our way up to functionality changes.

We are informing you so you know that everything is fine with your browser and machine.

Your Bitsapphire Team.
