BM really seemed to enjoy the hangouts and sharing his thoughts on the forum. Could that new "communication strategy" really come from him, or are we really facing a Chinese whale threatening to dump and kill BitShares price if open communication continues ? This sucks on so many levels, but the worst part is that openness and freedom is what we're supposed to stand for.

Bonne initiative, je me suis souvent dit que ce serait bien d'avoir un délégué en charge des traductions. Il y a plein d'autres choses à traduire aussi, je pense surtout aux sous-titres des principales vidéos et aux meilleurs articles du blog de Bytemaster.

Si jamais tu n'as personne, pour 1000 bitEUR, perso je serai partant pour le traduire aussi. Par contre, vu comme c'est la galère en ce moment, je pense que ça va être très difficile de trouver la somme requise.

I'm on OSX, 4 Giga RAM, flash hard drive. It works quite well, even if it looks very very buggy : most of the time my second account doesn't appear, the transactions take much time to appear even after the blocks have synced.

Globally the wallet is way way better, it does what it is supposed to do, but the user experience remains quite bad, IMO.

There are many annoying things. If your short is fractioned in 10 different transactions, you'll have to cover each of them manually, paying a fee for each (probably not only a GUI problem, but that's very frustrating).

When one asks for a price by clicking on it, a slightly higher price is selected. That is psychologically very hard to swallow, even if the amount is negligible. You clicked on a price, you want to select THAT price, not a higher one.

So you change the price to what the sell order is... but, of course, you probably have some unappearing decimals so the buy doesn't happen. Quite unnerving !

Then, you ask for 1000, and you get 999.999. When you autoshort to yourself, you find yourself with a 0.001 short that someone will have to buy and pay the fee... and then you have to cover that 0.001 and pay the fee again. Argh. Obviously, fees are negligible, but psychologically, it is not, it feels like a hassle.

On my Mac, scrolling down is not sleek. It stops, to make the orders defile.

Clicking on a button doesn't exactly feel like it should feel, for example the "confirming" action after putting an order appears somewhere often out of the visual field. Maybe a pop-up would be better ?

Maybe we also need a confirming for cancelling actions ?


Good luck guys ! We have the best product, as soon as we have the perfect UI, traders will flock !

BitAssets work great. By itself, this is a news powerful enough to shatter the financial world. And yet we continue sinking along with the Bitcoin vessel.

We are supposed to provide one of the most efficient trading exchange (aren't we ?). How do we get the traders to trade on our decentralized exchange ? The exchange UI is full of little annoying things, like clicking on a price and getting another price slightly higher, asking for 1000 and getting 999.999, micro orders whose fee is higher than the amount bought, etc... Shouldn't we ask a panel of traders to test our exchange, and then tell us what they expect and what they need to use it ?

We have a working technology enabling decentralized trading. Would a very usable, sleek UI do the job ?

People who lost Bitcoins here are probably not willing to laugh along with the meme's guy. Not sure it's good marketing, I think that angry people hate receiving lessons.

There is also the random shit in TASKFORCES which I'll be deleting soon.  The original reason it was created is for people who wanted to do random things like this.I thought I was going to find a home for the concept/content but it doesn't seem so.

Nullstreet is purely marketing, but the basic community needs a lot of minor things improved.  These are not marketing efforts.  The wiki falls in this category.

Great initiative, it's a shame it didn't work. Maybe we need a taskforce delegate, whose task is to find tasks doable by anybody, find people for doing the tasks, motivate them and tip them ? I spend so much time here without doing anything valuable for the system... well, I wrote an article in French and did some translation job, but I could probably be doing much more.

Sigh. How are shapeshift integration, metaexchange, cryptoedge, the much better 0.6.1 wallet, not short term good news ?

Delegates already have an unclear double role, adding proposal voting might be quite hard to swallow for many people.

Won't vote, for toast proposal
