Next thing we know , people would start buying subway AD space on major city upfront and ask to be refunded by worker dilution , because people would by shy to vocal against it for all his contribution and the financial risk he was taken upfront .

That will be an amazing marketing change .

@tonyk   what do you say

 

The network owning it's own naming assets is really so terrible? This i fundamental to any business DAC or centralized.

On the other hand.. there are other ways to recover the funds, it just might take a lot more work and time potentially... if he used the refer program and got paid on the refers sent to the network, i would take roughly referring 33 lifetime members to recover the funds. Who knows, at that point maybe he will just continue with it because its a good investment.

There are a few ways to skin this cat, but the worker is clear, simple, and lets the voters decide how they want to manage the brand. Trolling commentaries with anything to do with Workers these days seems inevitable. It's tired, old, and has been shown to be a pointless irrational argument in comparison to every other virtual currency that is excelling in market cap with higher spending that for them is completely out of control. While we are in control.

@JonnyBitcoin initiative to take action and secure our brand for the community is great. You think all your scenarios are going to come to pass then you better get to it and start getting all those spaces. Sounds like a great investment!

It's funny .

If a Ethereum marketing is paying 3000 USD to buy a twitter account name , which one you think he would buy , and why ?

The exact same name is not the asset on twitter . The count of the follower is .
If one account has more follower than the others , regardless of what name it is , it will be enough to do marketing .

Good buying opportunity if you believe it has a future.

No it's not .

The tech has a future , but market moves on its own free will regardless of how many features/function/big-things .

So if people do believe in the future , they should buy it at a lowest point and get more profit .

Million dollar question is when is the lowest point 

    When those who wouldn't sell at 13 USD sold .....

oh no XCP again .
Last year they claimed "we've realized all the Ethereum smart contract function" and trick people into buying a pump .

Now again ?
Or is it the same old news ?

Major takeaway of that video:

* They name every hardfork differently! Frontier, Homestead, serenity
* Only after Serenity they will work on scalability for 1k to 10k tps
* After that .. they will be up to 1M tps ..
* Ethereum 4.0 brings 'infinity million tps" (WTF?! they either break speed of light or the size of the planet ) and maybe privacy
* Casper (the POS consensus) has not yet been proven
* solving the Economic scalability (bad actors shouldn't make a profit) in casper is still unsolved
* cross shard interoperability still unsolved
* shard validation and fees still unsolved

I think they will run into a lot of issues if they do not realize that doing things in parallel results in a lot of overhead.

The video is probably not worth your time, Dan. But it gives a nice overview of their current plans

I will say one thing, their "roadmap" is a perfect hype machine. It gives people hope for a perfect solution to every problem.

My experience with ETH (yes, I actually built it and synced the chain)...

1. I really like the JS console
2. my node got stuck syncing multiple times and had to be restarted
3. my node crashed multiple times.
4. It took me an order of magnitude longer to sync their chain

My take away is that for all of their hype, they are about as stable as the early versions of BTS. That said, I believe hype drives price more than value does.

You just believe it now ?
I thought after the comparison of BTS went to all time hight at August 2014 with a barely functional wallet and the hint of big thing , and  BTS down to all time low with a much better version , you would know it already .

haha , i must say , good one .

Maybe CCEDK's ronny can turn it into better one :

this summer

Do I sense another exciting edition of "BitShares Summer Announcements" on the horizon? tbh those "Winter Storm Warnings" just weren't doing it for me...

 

This is the last paycheck you can afford to buy BTS at these price .

"Ethereum with it's billion dollar market cap and correspondingly large development fund will continue to move ahead with so many tools, they're going to become the Microsoft of virtual machines on blockchains."
- Daniel Larimer

Excellent. Dan said some very important things in that clip. He said the Ethereum virtual machine is "here to stay",  and that Ethereum is set to become the Microsoft of blockchains. Wow. He also said some interesting things about sidechains and the future interoperability of bitshares with other blockchains like bitcoin and Ethereum. Good mumble session. Thanks for posting that.

Ethereum now is the same Ethereum when the price was 1/20 .

BM's word proved my point  : Capital will make you believe in a tech . All that matters in the end is capital .

I wonder what BM will say when ETH price drops back again (if) ...
