Hey,

I'm trying to properly figure out BTSX, and have been wondering - since users can issue their own bitAsset through BTSX, can you make contracts for the bitassets at all? So I don't have to host a centralized server for such functionality? Or is that thinking too much like ethereum?

Lets say I want to reward users with shares of these bitassets, but I don't want to have to pre-mine the full amount in order to hand it out and become responsible for that full amount of bitAsset - that's a massive amount of centralized power that I don't want over a bitAsset.

Lets say i'm a delegate, and whilst I'm in one of the delegate positions I run a service that rewards users my own bitAsset, but I don't have control over the full 100% of the coins - I only make the contract and can become a  user myself and earn the bitAsset with no unfair advantage.

Cheers.

Running v0.4.14 of bitshares-x, is it normal that when you log in and press the forward button with no forward history, it'll log you out and the background/logo disappears, switching to white before being loaded again? Actually.. if it's loading these images online, it might be because my internet's being slow that the graphics aren't showing temporarily.

Second thing, when you're entering an amount in a transfer - if you put a comma into the field, it'll say "Wrong Amount". I noticed this when copying my full balance into the transfer field which contained a comma.

wouldnt it be like 2fa?

2FA via google auth or yubikey also would be a really handy optional feature.
If there's an opensource 2FA hardware usbkey, perhaps a keyotee implementation could be researched?

So what, burn btc for btsx?

I think i just asked a really similar question here: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=8766.msg113681;boardseen#new

So delegates don't get any fees on bitassets and only on btsx? :S

I've been researching btsx, and it would appear it's possible for a delegate to raise fees (maybe). Would people be massively opposed to a delegate doing so, but only if they were a charity?

It drives the price of another crypto down whilst pushing the price of btsx up, I support it.

So does simply selling the other crypto tokens for BTSX. The people mining on MineBitShares support BitShares enough to want to hold on to BTSX. If they already support it they can trade on an exchange directly and cut out the middleman.

Edit: I don't know. Maybe there is some weird psychological marketing voodoo going on that I cannot comprehend. Perhaps it would be attractive to people still on the fence about POW vs DPOS. I still think that if you think mining still has some value for the time being, it makes more sense to mine on a well established mining pool and then trade your BTC for BTSX on an exchange.

It's simply just a shortcut from mining hardware directly to btsx, rather than btsx -> whatever is the most profitable coin -> marketplace -> btc -> btsx.

MineBitShares.com - A virtual mining multi-pool for BitSharesX
Making the unminable, mineable! - Coming Soon

I'm initiating a delegate campaign to support MineBitShares.com.

MineBitShares.com is a mining pool which will direct the miners hashing power to mine the most profitable traditional POW based crypto currencies that is automatically exchanged for BTSX and paid daily to miners.

It’s likely the pool will help attract and retain new members of the crypto community to BitShares, and by automatically selling other crypto currencies to buy BitSharesX, it’ should also have a positive effect on the price.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the appeal of this? You are essentially acting like a middleman in the exchange between the POW tokens and BTSX. Is this just for people who don't want to bother with the "trouble" of trading their POW tokens (mined from an already well established mining pool) for BTSX on an regular exchange? Besides, if a POW miner actually believes in BTSX enough (or even just DPOS) to want to earn BTSX instead of the POW tokens, I would think their smartest move would be to sell their ASICs while they still can.

It drives the price of another crypto down whilst pushing the price of btsx up, I support it.
