It's ironic that a lot of people who hold the belief that everything is in their head and nothing is real write a lot of books about it. Who do they think is going to read them?
@cube @toast, I just tried to setup a faucet, but don't know how to config below settings
"
export BACKEND_URL=http://url-of-backend-app:4444
export BACKEND_SECRET=random-string-shared-with-backend
"
Does this mean I need to run a client with "--httpport 4444" on "url-of-backend-app" ip address?
and what does BACKEND_SECRET suppose to be
thanks
So if I understand this correctly, if BitShares has an escrow multisig built into the wallet, it seems like a localbitcoins.com-like website for BTSX would be trivial to setup.
A localbts.com website wouldnt even need to store any funds, it would just act as the 3rd party signature and 99% of the time the website wouldnt need to do anything because the buyer and seller would agree and give both of the required signatures.
This is in contrast to Bitcoin, where multisig is complicated so localbitcoins.com stores the funds exclusively on its server, with all the added security problems.
Exactly! It makes many transactions simple.

Votes are bought all the time... only they are bought with campaign promises to steal other peoples money to pay welfare and special interests. At least buying votes up front is being done with the vote buyers money rather than the money of the people who voted against the welfare.
So you see.. vote buying has been made into an irrational politically correct opinion rather than a rational realization that for the average person selling their vote to the highest bidder is much better for them.
For example: in my opinion there is no difference between the two major parties in the US and I know the process is rigged. Knowing that my vote is not even worth the time to cast it, I would gladly sell my vote because my life would be better by selling my vote than by not selling it.
If we wanted to have a rational political system it should require 95% voter approval and that approval would have to be BOUGHT. 5% error to prevent deadlock for those unwilling to sell at any price...
You may be able to buy up 90% of the vote cheaply... but to get the approval of those who would be harmed the most by a bill 5% minority... would be a lot more expensive. You would have a government with 95% consensus based upon property rights.

Yeah it sounds exciting. It should work depending on how familiar and seamless the whole experience is to the average consumer. If it's done well then circa 5% yield is probably ideal. (Because counter-intuitively past a certain yield, the average consumer may perhaps think it's 'too good' and questionable as a result. The same goes for a deposit bonus if they did one.)
Who says you have to even be aware of that currency? Get a debit card that returns a yield from StanCardTM or something.
Load the prepaid "StanCard" wit USD via the on-ramp service, earn interest while on the card, and unload the card when you buy something in USD from any merchant that accepts prepaid StanCards.

I don't know but it will be interesting for this to be more obvious rather than just approx.
Just to note: Coinprism yesterday suggested $5,700 for BitShares, $40 for NXT, and $1.73 for Counterparty, while promoting the idea of "creating an asset on Coinprism costs just a Bitcoin transaction fee (3 cents, or even free if you want, as they are optional)" but I don't know, if that is accurate or much of the substantial difference between those platforms.
My motto has always been: Don't f.... wait for things to happen, just f..... do it!!!
