I'd suggest this instead: one of our community members (someone who has a good understanding of BitShares) teams up with an external C++ expert and they write a tutorial together in close cooperation with CNX.

this is a market makeing bot, make bid/ask order at the current price with a spread.
nobody can make sure this is profitability.
if you need a marke maker to provide liquility, you can try this bot.

@monsterer didn't you have a thread where you discussed this with @tonyk ?

Any updates on refunding BTS  @monsterer ?

Except that if everyone did this BTS would fall more than 1% and thus no one would do it. Hence, it is not profitable for people to proxy.

All you need is the ability to make "voting power" expensive.
In Bitcoin, you need to buy expensive equipment

And if it did that, then all the inactive voters would come out with torches and pitchforks to fix it.

Until things start going in a direction they don't like, many of us are content to let it ride.

A decision not to vote is a vote for the status quo.  That is not the same as being centralized.

DPOS was a nice experiment, but the requirement for active voting was a big oversight. Much simpler to just plain remove it all and go with a much simpler system, which simply ranks by stake.

and suddenly you loose all the nice advantages of dpos, namely, the fact that only those that WANT to produce blocks may produce blocks.
With your approach we are back at square NXT and can't achieve 3secs blocks .. period
