Is there an inactivity fee applied to bitassets? It would only make sense to have such a feature if the delegate voting took bitAssets into account when voting, but I think it's only BTSX? That right?

Seconded. The POW nature of PTS is very bizarre.. surely it should be using DPOS by now?

Broke down one of the infographics to some of the smaller components for use in delegates websites:

Aloha to all 

We could meet up this Saturday 20/09/2014 around 1pm around the centre somewhere. If date and time suits you guys please let me know so we can  decide together about the place.

aloha 

Won't be able to meet up until november/december time.
It'd be cool if an informal beyond bitcoin was recorded for those who couldnt attend to hear your thoughts on the future of bitshares?

Do you have any similar advice for users running headless delegates on servers?

I run the delegate on a linux vps, but when I need to upgrade I switch to my laptop for producing blocks while recompiling on the vps (not enough RAM to recompile while running the client), so atm I have the same wallet on 2 computers. Is there a way to export the keys from one to the other so as to have a clean merged wallet? Not really a priority but it would be nice to have 

Quite a good idea having a fallback wallet to produce blocks whilst upgrading the dedicated client.

I think we should produce a standardized document for all delegates to follow, kind of like a best practices when updating their delegate clients.

Also interested in a london meetup at a weekend. Strictly keyotee id's in person though.

I am the legal expert here. (From now on!)

The DAC's are completely legal in the world!

In a world, where no countries exist!

How legal are the legal entities of 'states' / ' country'?;

What is the law that allowed them to exist?

Where is this 'earths constitution' that those states followed  to exist and be  'legal?

So.. can we register a decentralized autonomous country? Exist everywhere, be bigger than corporations?

What's UN membership entry requirements? https://www.unglobalcompact.org/howtoparticipate/How_To_Apply.html looks like you can register an organization/corporation.


If we needed to have land, we could back it with a decentralized autonomous virtual reality country with the following: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8346.0

I think your premise are wrong.
There is no UN in the 'earths constitution' ... at least there is no such 'legal' entity prescribed by the 'constitution of the planet'.
The registers do not mention such entity registering itself following the ''earths constitution'  either.
So, whatever high regard you hold for this institution, I am sorry to inform you, but UN has not followed the necessary procedure to establish itself legally as per all requirement of the current 'earth's constitution'.

Can you elaborate on this "earths constitution"?
How can DACs be integrated into the core of such an idea?

I'm really interested in crypto, but i'm uncertain where the evolution of cryptos and DACs is going in terms of legal status in countries - like some countries have banned bitcoin, have any got a negative stance on bitshares/other DACs whilst they're accepting of bitcoin?

Are delegates going to run into the risk of suffering the same fate as this guy hosting a proxy server in the uk? http://torrentfreak.com/uk-police-takes-down-proxy-service-over-piracy-concerns-140806/

Do you think delegates should have their servers behind fast vpn connections to hide their locations? Would it be inadvisable to host a delegate server on a cloud computing company based in the USA and Europe (Azure, Amazon, Heroku, etc) and instead host them in where the most volume is for bitshares (china/east asia) in the best area legally?

Anyone else thinking the same and don't know if becoming a delegate is safe?
