First, let me introduce myself. I've been around Bitshares since late 2014, back when workers and witnesses were combined as "delegates", and we ran v0.9 as a desktop client. Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.

For several years, I have run a Youtube channel under the brand Chronos Crypto, which consists primarily of news, lectures, walkthroughs, and product reviews. Check it out at https://www.youtube.com/c/ChronosCrypto.

The channel just completed it first worker term, which produced the following videos:

• Intro to Bitshares, where we take a brief overview of some of the key features that make Bitshares stand out from other blockchain technologies.
• Buying Bitshares the Easy Way, where we quickly demonstrate one of the easiest way to buy Bitshares: using a bridge inside the online wallet.
• Bitshares Inflation Rate, where we take an in-depth look at the inflation rate, or change in the supply, of the core Bitshares token.

Below are a few ideas for future videos:

# Tech Lectures (Example video: Xtreme Thinblocks)
   - DPOS for Dummies (witness roles; the advantage over PoW)
   - Hired by the Blockchain (worker roles)
   - Power to the People (committee roles)
   - Decentralized Consensus (proxy voting)
   - What is a SmartCoin? (shorts and margin calls)
   - Peg All the Things (price feeds and forced settlement)
   - Refer a Friend (referral/registrar system)
   - Custom Account Permissions (Threshold accounts, weight-based accounts, and multi-sig accounts)
# Walkthroughs (Example video: Getting Started with Electrum)
   - Creating an account on OpenLedger
   - Trading on the DEX
   - Securing your wallet with cold storage
   - Creating and managing your own assets
   - Setting up a witness node
   - Buying a lifetime account for marketing referrals
# News & Announcements (Example video: Bitcoin Classic)
   - New features (stealth transactions, subsidizing market liquidity, trollbox in the DEX, etc.)
   - Announcements (new worker or witness proposal to consider)
   - Trending discussions

I propose to renew this worker role to produce valuable Bitshares videos under the Chronos Crypto brand. The YouTube channel has over 600 subscribers, and is well-known in the bitcoin community, so this content will be dual-purpose: to bring new users to the platform, and to help make Bitshares more comprehensible for all of us.

If elected, I will produce a minimum of 3 Bitshares-related videos per month, and publish them on the YouTube channel. In exchange, the worker role will be 500,000 BTS per month, which is the same rate as the prior worker term.

Here's a quick walkthrough video on how to show your support. Vote now.

(Note: I accidentally created a duplicate worker proposal for zero pay. Just be glad I burned $16 of BTS to create the duplicate, as you vote for the correct one.  )

Thank you!

Have you always wished you could have a physical bitcoin, but never could quite pull the trigger and place an order? This is your chance to make that dream come true.

We are giving away, absolutely free, a Denarium gold-plated coin to a lucky Chronos Crypto YouTube subscriber. This is a beautiful 1/10th BTC brass alloy coin from Denarium, and although it doesn't come with the bitcoin loaded on it, it's very easy to load. The tamper-evident hologram is already in place from the manufacturer. Click here for a video with more info.

If you are already a subscriber, you'll still need to enter the drawing in order to qualify.

Good luck!

Hi everyone,

Thought you might be interested in an online conference this weekend on the topic of blockchain scaling. I'm slated as one of the 12 presenters, speaking on Xtreme Thinblocks, a scaling tech that allows blocks to be transmitted to nodes more quickly and efficiently.

Main site: http://onchainscaling.com
Speakers: http://onchainscaling.com/speakers.html
Schedule: http://onchainscaling.com/presentations.html

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to the successful funding of the Chronos Crypto Videos worker proposal, we have now released our first video! Feel free to share as you see fit. This could be useful to a few wider subreddits like /r/cryptocurrency, but I'd rather not push my own material. 

Open to any feedback, questions, criticisms, suggestions, etc. Enjoy!

Watch now: Intro to Bitshares

When BTS 2.0 rolled out, I expected Cryptonomex to operate the main faucet for registration fees. Instead, this was handed to a company called OpenLedger. Today, this is still true: http://bitshares.org has a "Try Online Wallet" on the front page that links to an OpenLedger URL. Even the official Bitshares web wallet at http://bitshares.org/wallet still has OpenLedger receiving the registrar credit on new accounts.

I was under the impression that OpenLedger was a separate company, affiliated with CCEDK. Is this correct? What is the official relationship between Bitshares and OpenLedger? Why doesn't the faucet come from the committee account, so that registrar bonuses are returned to the network?

First, let me introduce myself. I've been around Bitshares since late 2014, back when workers and witnesses were combined as "delegates", and we ran v0.9 as a desktop client. Then in the summer of 2015, I contracted directly for Cryptonomex for a couple months, doing UI work for the light wallet. I've always been fascinated by the tech behind Bitshares.

As a corollary to my work to produce Bitshares videos, I would be interested to take a volunteer position with the Bitshares committee.

As a committee member, my priorities are as follows:

• Offer low transaction fees to attract consumers, merchants, and traders to the platform
• Improve liquidity in the DEX, focusing on the BTS trading pairs against BitUSD, BitCNY, and BitBTC
• Keep Lifetime Membership relevant by having certain network actions require it
• Maintain network security by keeping witness pay at or above the cost of running a robust full node
• Enact popular protocol changes that are shown to have super-majority support through worker role voting

Please cast your vote for chronos-youtube for committee member!

Hi all,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm officially on the campaign trail for a new worker proposal. I'm looking to produce technical videos, walkthrough videos, and news/announcements for the Bitshares ecosystem. The videos will be posted to the Chronos Crypto YouTube Channel, where they will be received by well over 400 subscribers.

Here's the official worker proposal thread. I've put together a short video to introduce myself, and to explain how you can cast your vote. Watch it now.

Thank you for your support!
