The real pitch to Overstock should be getting them to dual list their stock as a compliant UIA on the BitShares exchange rather than trying to build their own.

And pls let us discuss such things before you get in contact ...
If they get contacted in wrong way ... it's a lost contact ...
At least we need a community member with a deep technical understanding of bitshares .. more important 2.0
Input appreciated @vikram
I wonder if BM and co is vetting anything at all.
1. We met Mark a year ago at a Mastermind Networking Retreat in St. Martin. He impressed us.
2. We trust and respect the people who set up that meeting.
3. Mark continues to be recommended by those and other people we trust.
4. We have had good interactions and discussions with Mark - comparable to those we have had with equally trusted forum heroes.
5. We genuinely like Mark.
6. We are aware that there is lots of favorable and unfavorable web content out there - about us as well.
7. So the existence of both kinds of content is not in itself a reliable indicator of anything.
8. We have not hired a private investigator, government agency, or proctologist to do a background or backend investigation.
This is a decentralized, libertarian community open to anyone without needing our permission or blessing.
If this is going to work, this community needs to deal with newcomers in a way that allows them to bring and establish a reputation on its own merits.
Without alienating and offending them before they get a chance to do so.
And anyone who has worked in this troll-infested industry for very long is going to have lots of different opinions out there to be vetted.
Anyone who has ever tried for 100% customer satisfaction with a start up business knows how hard that is to achieve.
So feel free to ask about those issues, hear the explanations, and make up your own minds.We have not, can not, should not and will not get involved in sorting that out for you.
Thanks for the input Stan. It's no secret that initially I didn't get the Bitshares thing right off the bat when Stan, Dan and I first met. We have some amicable differences. But things move on and what they are doing now makes sense to me and my team.
There is also no secret to me or my life. You only have to google my name to see it all. Some of it is inaccurate, but everything generated by us is. Good and bad. I have always prided myself on being being open and honest about me, my past and my endeavours. I'm aware this may put certain people off, but those people put off by it are not people I am interested in forging relationships with.
Despite my past and what ever moral judgements people may have on it what I am is a guy that works all the hours he can to make his vision and goals come to life. That is the main reason investors have backed me to date and my team work so hard for us all.
And you are right Stan this industry is troll infested and it needs to change to grow up. My personal approach (or at least the approach i try and stick to as much as possible) is to ignore the out and out flamers and trolls, address anyone who is reasonable and concentrate on the business building at hand.
As I have said before I am an open book and am willing to speak to anyone, anyone can add me on skype ID: mjlyford and schedule a call with my PA Zoe - zoe at lyfordoffice.com .
And last of all for those of interested in reading more about me you will get a warts and all account of my life to date (well up until two years ago , its being revised laster this year to reflect all the things I have been doing since May 2013) you can read my book (for free) by downloading it http://rebelentrepreneurbook.s3.amazonaws.com/Mark_Lyford_Rebel_Entrepreneur.pdf . Like I say it's warts and all and some of the scenarios and decisions I made in my life I regret, but its real and honest (maybe a little too honest in some areas).
What I can promise you if you do take the time to read the book you will get a full and real understanding of me, my life and my passion.
All the best
Mark
Business partnerships and cryptos working together like this deal is the way to be successful. Not trying to convince everyone on bitcointalk that all your competitors are scams.That is just a battle that goes nowhere.
While the silly proof of work altcoins and their little communities sit on bitocintalk and try to tell everyone that they are the true successor crypto and everyone else is a scam, our community will simply develop the Bitshares Exchange Network, grow with more coins and companies joining in, and generate actual revenue through trading fees, and grow until we are profitable.
Then it wont matter anymore if the clowns in the altcoin subforum think Bitshares is a scam because it raised money and actually paid its developers, which is apparently anathema to some of them. Bitshares will be a profitable DAC operating the Bitshares Exchange Network, making crypto trading secure from hackers for members of any coin community, and allowing companies to raise funds and issue assets on the blockchain. And all the reasonable people will see that and wake up.
Why are so many of you wearing sneakers
Alpha geek dress code.
I guess its just a thing in crypto to see EVERY single project accused of being a scam.Communist!
We could probably find threads on bitcointalk accusing every single top 20 coin of being a scam.
Those people say Bitshares is a scam for a million different reasons.
Haha! you sound like DecentralizedEconomics on BTT
Was this the annoucement we were expecting about one of the top cryptos joining BitShares? Or is there more to expect? I kind of have a weird feeling about Banx, it's just that, a feeling but it seems weird,
If I remember correctly, I saw some kind of statement about high monthly dividends, 5 or 10% in the future? Can't remember where and specifically when it would provide that. Someone who knows Banx better cares to freshen my memory?
Another blossoming from the St. Martin Mastermind networking retreat we told you about a year ago.
How many BitShares personalities can you find in this picture?
banx is a ponzi scheme. the 'banx share' token use to be on blockchain. It was great when it was only traded on the Banx Capital central exchange, because they manipulated the trading, and made it seem like it only goes up in value. But since its an altcoin on a blockchain, another exchange finally hosted it, and the prices diverged. So banx shares was then migrated off the blockchain to Banx Capitals private accounting book. Now no one is allowed to sell the banx shares they own, only to buy from on the central exchange. In the period it went to 10 million market cap. wow!
Why do people want to buy 'banx shares' which they cannot sell? It pays dividends, if you get on a mailing list. and Banx Capital claim banx share owners are part of an IPO, and that eventually you can sell your banx shares.
There is no actual profit in the company. dividends, to those who are paid, is paid from funds of share purchasers. And a PR operation is funded as well.
Banx Capital says they are going to use bitshares technology... to convince people to buy more banx shares lol. that's all. they have no real business.
Yes a few months ago they finally set up a working crypto currency exchange. it has no volume I don't think? Banx Capital has no expertise and just enough skill to con people over on bitsharestalk.org
