It's like people don't even realise that the web wallet is out, and that it works perfectly!

wallet.bitshares.org!

Good news?  They likely processed this stuff manually.  The fact they are changing plans means that maybe they realized people were just happy to remove all their coins when given a chance.  (I've been waiting.)  They're going to rebuild it now?  Huh?  Well let people continue to remove their coins and then when you have a rewrite done open back up.

This is just an excuse to not pay people and is NEVER good news except that snapshots now have a >0% chance of being delivered.

Yep. This is a stalling tactic and not good.

Hello everyone,

Metaexchange and Cryptohedge have been working together for the past week to integrate Cryptohedge as a bitUSD liquidity provider, and we are now ready to unveil the Metaexchange bitUSD bridge. This bridge is jointly operated by Metaexhange and Cryptohedge, with Metaexchange providing the platform and service, and Cryptohedge providing liquidity from our CFSBTC and CFSUSDA funds.

The goal of this service is to make it as easy as possible to instantly get into the bitshares decentralized exchange and start trading. The plan is also to use the API to integrate it directly with the upcoming wallet by Elmato in order to enable sending and receiving bitcoins that are automatically converted to bitUSD seamlessly, with high liquidity and low spread, so the average cryptocurrency user can now have easy access to hedged bitcoin account.

Considering the recent release of the web wallet wallet.bitshares.org, the decentralized exchange experience will soon be as smooth as any centralized exchange. If you want to check out the service, please go to https://metaexchange.info/ and try it out (also check out the new BTC/BTS instant conversion). Please note that it is still in beta and has low limits and a high spread. It will gradually be improved over time as we optimize it for the best possible user experience.

Shapeshift works by running a bot that buys or sells on the market whenever someone buys or sells from them. When a given asset has no active markets that they have a bot for, they are not able to offer their service. Bter was the only place they could source their bitUSD before, now that it's gone they have no way to offer it until they make a yunbi bot, however that will probably still take a while.

Looks a lot better now

We all need to remove every single BTS we own from all exchanges. 

When we want to buy BTS, we deposit money on the exchange, buy BTS, and immediately remove it.  Always.  Immediately.

When we want to trade we use the Bitshares Decentralized exchange exclusively.  Only ever send BTS back to exchanges for permanent cashing out.


Please give me a time machine so I can go back and do this with bter.  I will only ever use the decentralized exchange ever again.  Hopefully many of us will learn this lesson from the bter hack in a way that doesnt cost us much except for pain, or a little BTC.  I don't ever plan to have much BTS on an exchange for more than like an hour or so, ever again.

Please tell me how you plan to get your money into the decentralized exchange if there's no open orders on poloniex or btc38. Or even better, how do you expect new users who have no experience with bitshares, who don't even know what the decentralized exchange is, to get their money on to it?

@Rune   Can you please tell me how to deposit to poloniex? Somehow I am missing it.

Go to balances (top right corner), my balances, and then search for BTS or BTC.

I just signed up at poloniex.com

But, I can't see how to deposit. Could you point it out to me please.
