Agree, a solid bitUSD with millions or billions in market cap is more useful than a bunch of smaller assets.
Looking at Dogecoin's gains in the last few days you can definitely see the perceived market value of greater merchant utility.
I think PayPal is working the three main payment processors, BitPay, Coinbase and GoCoin.
GoCoin also processes LiteCoin and Dogecoin payment. So the PayPal news has been a big boost for DogeCoin as it brings Dogecoin payments to PayPal merchants.
Approaching GoCoin may have some merit?
Gocoin is one of the exchanges I contacted yesterday:

Of course Gocoin makes their money by charging 1% & given tight retail margins and how quickly BitUSD transactions are processed and that it holds the value of the dollar, it's likely in the near future many merchants will just bypass these processors, though the fact they facilitate payments into bank accounts could still be useful for merchants.
Agreed .. a payment processor is needed .. but maybe not yet .. although people should start considering to set one up ..
The only thing that hinders adoption currently are the inconveniences of the wallet .. once these are fixed and no further hard forks are incoming mass adoption can come [/imho]
I just put the bulk of my funds into cold storage and I noticed the delegate voting options during the transfer.
Not yet being satisfied I am informed enough to individually select delegates (let alone 101 of them!), I went ahead and selected the "let delegates decide" option (or something like that. I still get the msg "this account is not voting with all of it's stake" tho).
In my mind there's a rather big hole in our DPOS implementation that needs to be filled and that's in setting up some basic standards or guidelines for delegates and providing a central place where that info can be published. Even basic info like hardware description, ISP, UPS and the like for each delegate would be better than nothing.
I wouldn't want to lock in a set of requirements, but having a basic checklist of guidelines each delegate could publish would give people a metric to compare delegates. Another set of criteria would be operational information and run-time stats, like svk publishes on his BitsharesBlocks.com website.
These things may have been discussed, but I haven't found such discussions if so. I'm also aware this probably isn't on the top of the priority pile, but it probably needs to be addressed before going live to general public in a big way.
It seems like every day I see web designs on the internet that look outstanding, and makes me feel like my efforts are neanderthal in comparison. But I could throw up a Joomla site with some generalized info pages about delegate voting, and a forum, guestbook or some way to for delegates to post the essentials of their "campaign platform" for the general public. Maybe even putting up polls to gauge what the BitShare community considered to be important in a delegate might provide useful input. Hell I dunno. Anyway, this may not even be worth 2 shatoshis to this community, but it's a thought that crossed my mind.
Hi cubecube have you looked into being listed on http://www.beyondbitcoinx.net/ ?
No, I did not. I am taking a look now.
Edit: I try to register but I am not getting the email for activation. I do not get the email even after I 'click' resend.
Will inform the programmer..im just a volunteer for the site.

What is the Most Innovative Cryptocurrency/Technology?

- open up firefwall ports/router forwarding (if necessary)
- (optional) increase max number of conections
- post pm to dacsunlimited and tell them the ip (there's is also a thread somewhere about it)
I got the client installed, now I have a few more questions:
..
-What ports do I need to open for it?
..
Right now I have this script using the delegate startup instructions from github.Code: [Select]#!/bin/sh
# Starts and stops bitsharesx
#
case "$1" in
start)
echo ""
echo "Starting BitSharesX"
echo ""
cd /usr/bin/BitSharesX
gdb BitSharesX
sleep 1
$0 view
;;
stop)
echo ""
echo "Stoping BitSharesX"
/usr/bin/BitSharesX stop
;;
restart)
$0 stop
sleep 30
$0 start
;;
view)
ps -e | grep BitSharesX
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
...But when I run it, the terminal stays in gdb mode, & instead of leaving me with a '$' prompt, it's "(gdb)", & I have to type 'quit' to get back to bash. Then that exits the process. Not quite right.
What's the right way to start & stop it?
And I don't see where to get the port info, either in the docs. Could someone tell me about that please?
Thanks,

-Where do I increase the max connections?
when client is running type:
network_set_advanced_node_parameters { "peer_connection_retry_timeout": 30, "desired_number_of_connections": 50, "maximum_number_of_connections": 200 }
If I do this command at the (gdb) prompt, I get:Code: [Select]Undefined command: "network_set_advanced_node_parameters". Try "help".
And if I do:Code: [Select]$BitSharesX network_set_advanced_node_parameters { "peer_connection_retry_timeout": 30, "desired_number_of_connections": 50, "maximum_number_of_connections": 200 }
I get:Code: [Select]QXcbConnection: Could not connect to display
Aborted
What am I doing wrong?
What is your primary pc? I run Xubuntu in a VM on my work laptop and it runs great.
MacBook Pro 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7
I tried doing the dual boot thing and it didn't go so smooth. Apple don't like that kinda stuff.
but virtualization isn't the same as dual booting. You could have an instance of ubuntu running inside your main operating system and it would, for all intents and purposes have the same effect as you're aiming for by getting a new laptop (although I haven't read the whole thread).

it'd be like having a little linux computer on demand that you could use exclusively for crypto. only instead of being an entirely new computer, you just borrow some resources from your computer to create what looks to the operating system as an entirely new computer.
This sounds like a great idea merockstar!
