I think you're missing the point

What would happen to the market cap of BitShares if the algos started picking up news stories of how the lead dev of B.T.S. just got hired by V.I.S.A?

Indeed what would happen? I can just as easily see such a turn of event causing BitShares to tank and die a quick death. Bachman's post is a totally rediculous idea. There would obviously be strings attached to the position, vesting for bonus, owning rights to all inventions, NDAs ... I know it was in jest but he just blew his avatar fascade.

I thought it could have some benefits, but only if done strategically and through negotiations...
I mean think about it.  BTS is pretty much already proven...and it isn't like Counterparty where the devs leaving meant counterparty was dead on arrival (because it was tied to alllll the negatives of bitcoin).  Bitshares (and graphene) is something awesome. 

Hm...instead of hiring Dan, why don't we show them the codebase?

BTS hasn't been proven yet .
It used a private C++ lib called FC which nobody use except a few people .
It hasn't gone through security auditing on the code .


It even needs manual reboot on Yunbi from time to time these days (They said it had been frequent since 2.0 ) . Don't know if it's their deal or BitShares' .

Its network has halted several times these few months .
2 Days ago , when the price surged  ,  BitShares was unable to do transfer (many people have complaint about that) . And it magically solved in the next day without releasing a new version .


In terms of industrial use , BitShares is far from it .

Is this the same as consensys , factom , emercoin on Azure ?

because I typed consensys , factom ,ethereum , emercoin on the seach box , and I could not find any , but these were the projects that has announced partership with microsoft  . Is their thing a different thing ?

Thanks .

people with more 'insider knowledge' than you or me tend to agree with you...

all those "weird name-weird name" accounts voting for xeroc as of late, send substantial amounts to polo on every price rise...I sincerely doubt they do it to go margin long...

Who are they?

I have no clue..but I am running with your speculation that it is either BM or some developers paid by him.... it just seems the most logical thing I have read or come up with myself.
(other explanations/speculations welcomed)

it's obviously a robot designed to move a truck load of BTS automatically bit by bit  , so it creates a name that would have less remote possibility of repeating existing names by picking names from a Dict and combine it  .

Who is controlling the bot however , I don't have a clue .

you do know counter-party dev was hired by a big company as well right .....

Werneo, glad to see you're still around. I'll use your reasoning as an excuse not to get caught up in the hype. 

Thanks man.

There are lots of new stories talking up Ethereum these days:

Sell the news might be wise.

Then again I could be wrong.

sell the news is always wise , just like when somebody tells you this is the last paycheck that you can afford to buy BTS   

You guys are delusional. Check the date on the OP compared to the date of Tony's OP. If anything Tony stole the idea from Nxt. They have been discussing similar ideas for a long time now, this is their most recent design.

You stole the English words from whoever invested English   

they can do 100K/s transaction .

A new company = Needs more money = You know what is coming next.
A seasoned expert in Finance = Needs more money = You know what is coming next.
A seasoned expert in IT = Needs more money = You know what is coming next.

Oh yeah Love you Stan.

Actually these people are bringing their own money to the joint venture
and have skills at raising funds and winning business from outside the BitShares universe.

That said, please send me 9 BTS in three easy payments to help cover postage and handling.

WOW. That's amazing. 
Everything and Everyone that makes BTS a failure is warmly welcomed!

i love you guys ... just give it no chance before starting ... man ..
i begin to ask me how we thinking we're able to attract new people into BTS/CNI with this kind of attitude.

Seriously. 
I honestly believe that some of the trolls here are being paid by outside companies, mainly from the BTC/ETH space. But, as Ghandi has said, first they ignore you, then laugh at you, then FIGHT you, then you win.

. You should create a troll worker proposal just in case to fight against these guys . And you should not fight it for free .
