General Discussion / Re: Where can I buy BitUSD with actual dollars?
« on: February 06, 2015, 01:21:27 pm »
A localbitusd/localbitassets/localbitshares website is needed. 

Any trusted individual within the US, such as a US based delegate, who's willing to accept wire transfer could offer to trade with you.

Wishing a warm welcome to students from Duke University who may be checking out bitsharestalk for the first time after attending Dan's lecture.  Do say hello and feel free to ask any questions here.  You may also be interested in attending the live dev hangout on mumble today at 10am EST.  These happen every Friday.

Welcome!

:)

Nice!

This should really pick up when our marketing funnels start signing up wallet users in the next month or so.
Could you elaborate on the "marketing funnels"?

This is rgcrypto's work.  A Spanish language version (bitshares 101 book included) should be up  by the end of next week.  Then fb ads can begin!

BitGold has large spread, it will be a problem to pool operator to buy bitGold, also bitUSD has higher yield compare to bitGold.
Its getting tighter. If the required support for bitUSD is achieved, please add bitGold as a mineable option asap. I think it would have added appeal.

I'm in favour of providing the choice.  It would be good to become known as the first case of mineable digital gold and silver.  There's a lot of miners out there.

General Discussion / Re: Blockchain size projections

Bump. No data? Blockchain size seems to be a potential issue for Bitshares.
It is not an issue:
 - only delegates require the full chain .. so 101 ..
 - light wallets are currently under development

No need for everyone to store the full thing unless you WANT to

Is that really the case?  I thought everyone is downloading the full blockchain.  And the light client wont have a market.

Would it not be a good idea to have a link on the website to a neat GUI showing the active markets (spread, charts, orders etc).

That is a very good point.  Here is the demo:

General Discussion / Re: SMS Development for Developing Regions

I completely agree Africa is a prime market for bitUSD, bitGOLD and sending and receiving via SMS is needed to penetrate it.  It would be worth looking at m-pesa and learning how people use it.  Getting people on the ground in Africa is essential for anything to come of it.

Mining bitUSD will be talked about at 2 meetup events every month in Buenos Aires.
