In the last three months:
Ethereum is down 44%
Bitshares down 33%
Steem down 71%
Ethereum Classic down 44%
Litecoin down 11%
Monero down 46%
Dash down 22%
Augur down 72%
NEM Down 41%
Waves up 43%
Bitcoin up 25%
(by no means a comprehensive list, but good indicators)
We can see that by no means is this down trend unique to Bitshares in the short run (last three months). Long run chart trends are important for sure, but the current slump is almost exclusively an exodus to Bitcoin which received about 2.5 billion in capital in the last three months. It is reasonable to trade and invest based on your thoughts on this trend continuing or not at the moment most other factors are taking a back seat.
CNY market cap is getting torched currently... This plus the decline in the BTS price looks like some larger holders are leaving the ecosystem
With the chaos going on around the world, people will take notice of BitShares. It seems to get glanced over by the crypto crowd however once real traders try it out, watch out.
-War on cash worldwide, see India as the latest example
-Crazy volatility in FX markets
-Volatility in the metals markets
The list goes on and on.
Just broadly so far I've:
- Merged some fixes from upstream Graphene repo that have been sitting there for a while
- Workaround for log files filling up disk space during sync
- Removed some offline seed nodes
- Deleted some abandoned branches from GitHub repo
- Updated docs submodule (repo wiki) with upstream Graphene updates
- Merged a couple minor pull requests
- Removed some no longer active members from GitHub org
- Added @svk as admin to GitHub org
Next I want to begin merging updates/fixes (of which there are many) from upstream steemit/fc. This requires a lot of care because some of them are incompatible with BitShares.
Interesting. It would be technically possible to use BTC as collateral on the BTS chain, while keeping BTS for fees. But it would have the same sidechain security challenges: BTC miners could collude to steal the collateral out from the asset. Today, BTS witnesses can't do this, so it's a step down in security.
I actually think that BTS can become a better and better collateral token as its market cap grows. Considering that, and the security implications, this line of inquiry doesn't excite me as much as it could. Honestly, if I were going to sidechain it up like this, I would be tempted to just clone Graphene and not use the BTS token at all.
Good discussion. After reading the R3 article, I like the Bitshares model more than ever.
Right, using Bitcoin as collateral would not solve the problem of volatility. Bitshares would work the same way. Managing the collateral is a simple business risk that can be professionally managed by experts. As long as one does not replace the Bitcoin nor the USD both sides are fine.
The idea of pooled collateral is an interesting perspective. Would that reduce the individual loss and spread it among all issuers? In the Bitshares blockchain today everybody has to manage their risk level themselves. A bigger BTS buffer helps in volatile times.
That day marks the end of an era, which had a very negative impact. Hopefully this brings in more confidence and a period of prosperity to the ecosystem.
The next video has been released! Bitshares Merger Vesting Ends
holy s*** Vikram is back!
great to hear this! I have to say that as much as Dan was the brains behind the project, you were the engineer behind it, and you made witnesses' lives much easier by fixing all the little warts, polishing edges, properly tagging and announcing releases, and more generally maintaining the administrative part of the project that makes it easier for the rest of the ecosystem to consume the software.
Your presence in BitShares 2.0 was missed (by me at least, but I don't think I'm the only one) and for example the general feel of the cli_wallet in bts 2.0 is a lot less polished than what it was at the end of 0.9.x due to that.
So if you want to come back and fix all these little things to make a great product even greater and manage the project to that end, then I guess that you clearly have my support!
Hi I've written my wallet password down and i've tried with and whitout capitalization but it still doesn't work.
What do you suggest? I need to get my account acces back!
Regards.
Does bitshares have a proper way to liquidate outstanding tokens which are no longer supported?
No it does not.. but it's an interesting idea to enable some kind of kill switch for owners. The alternative of course is hard forking it out by a consensus from the voters.. but that would get messy and trample on property rights in my estimation. I would prefer if there was some way the owner could voluntarily kill their asset in some structured way so that all balances somehow go through a forced settlement and the name can be removed from the space. It would then be claimable again perhaps after a period of 60 days or something like that. Similar to how domain names work I suppose.
Just some thoughts.
Sorry construction didn't work out... I know how hard going crowdfunding can be.
At least, there should be some way to freeze an asset such that it can't be traded at exchange anymore.
