(译注: 这是monsterer以及shentist的100%受托人竞选帖, 原帖的标题是” [MetaExchange] 100%支付率受托人竞选帖!”. 不过他们的100%受托人已经当选了, 而且根据内文第一释出版已经完成了50%)

大家好,
这是MetaExchange的100%支付率受托人拉票帖. 受托人账号是:

dev-metaexchange.monsterer

什么是MetaExchange?
MetaExchange是一个网站, 设计用来将进入比特股世界的门坎降低到0. 它会透过以下方式来达成目标:
* 提供点对点 (p2p)的入金管道给BTS, bitUSD以及其他主要的比特股资产.
* 作为一个网络钱包, 允许人们开始接触比特股, 但是不需要去下载客户端, 等待几个小时的同步只为了一探究竟.
* 提供一个成熟的交易接口以及市场浏览器, 形式就类似于forex/比特币交易商

我们是谁?
monsterer:
我的真名是Paul Firth, 我已经再c++软件开发专业超过10年. 在这个计划里, 我和Shentist结为伙伴, 由他来帮助我形塑MetaExchange的样貌并提供我注册受托人的资金.

我也经营了一个关于软件开发的部落格: http://wildbunny.co.uk/blog 以及一个位于英国的股份有限公司 (Wildbunny).

shentist:
我的真名是Frank Ahrens, 我负责软件支援. 我很高兴Paul和我能够找到一种方式来将我们共同的愿景用于帮助比特股. 在这个计划里我会帮助愿景的形塑以及处理法律以及商业部分的事务.

计划的释出时程为何?
* 第一释出版将会是一个比特股市场浏览器, 允许用户来浏览市场以及资产, 就像是任何交易者在比特币交易所都会用到的界面.
* 第二释出版将会加入点对点入金系统, 允许用户来挂买/卖单来将BTS以及其他主要比特股资产对比特币交易. 在这个系统里, Metaexchange将会作为第三方托管代理商来帮助安全的点对点 (对比特币)交易.
* 第三释出版将会是一个网页钱包, 并在点对点交易所中加入对法币的入金服务, 这个服务很可能会是跟Fidor Bank AG (译注: 德国的一间银行, https://www.fidor.de/)合作.

点对点交易所有许多巨大的优势, 例如可以提供一种容易的方式给比特股用户来获得大量的BTS或资产, 而不用直接影响市场. 我们也不会保管任何私钥, 因为我们深深地相信用户资金的安全十分重要.

你们目前的开发进度到哪里?
MetaExchange目前正利用业余的时间进行开发, 但是这样的方式很难有足够的时间来积极开发, 这就是为什么我们正竞选以争取100%受托人. 我估计我们目前大约完成了第一释出版的50%.

你们的受托人名称是什么?

dev-metaexchange.monsterer

作为结语, 我们要说的是我们真的无法在没有你们支持的情况下完成这个计划. 我们需要你们的选票! 谢谢你们的关心.

Paul aka monster / Frank aka Shentist.

注:  以下是一些开发中的产品的截图:




bm:
svk & monsterer...  我期望你们可以迈向建立一个通用的开源码基础.
这将会非常的有用, 如果monsterer可以产生一个开源码的”网关”节点来达成以下事情:

1) 当透过一笔BTC交易获得了X数量的BTC并经过了N次确认, 就连同交易发送等量的MEBTC到签署交易者之一的公钥.
2) 当Y数量的MEBTC被接受, 送出等量的BTC给这笔交易中支付的账号.

假设这个产品会是一个独立的服务 (daemon)来和bitcoind和bitshares_client进行沟通.
我认为如果你们是由BTS持股人支付薪水, 那么你们就应该把产品开源码. BTS持股人会从这样的开源码产品中获益最多, 而像是MetaExchang这样的服务是基于声誉以及网络效应之上, 因此无法被轻易复制.

monsterer:
听起来很容易, 但是问题是什么是MEBTC?

bytemaster:
MEBTC是一个用户发行资产, 给MetaExchange使用的...是一种IOU资产. 它将会大大地帮助新用户的加入.
IOUBTC是一种可以用来1:1兑换BTC的方式, 中间没有价差 (如果不算中间IO发行者收取的小额的手续费的话), 而BitBTC则是因为流动性的议题所以有价差.
IOUBTC VS BitBTC的市场将会帮助BitBTC流动性的增加, 并提供类似的好处给相对的喂价, 但是IOUBTC会比较需要对于IOU发行者的信任.

monsterer:
好的, 我被你说服了 - 这应该相当容易. 我将会将这个列为第一优先
第二释出版将会是透过人跟人之间配对的比特币/比特资产出入金服务, 因此在metaexchange中的’跨链’是透过第三方托管服务达成.

Bitshares have cought a lot of attentions in the crypto currency industry in four months since it was online . Now , Bitshares is at the forth place at coinmarket.com valued roughly 42 million USD market cap .  To a large extent ,Bitshares got the favour of the market is because of the limitless potential for application of the BitAssets such as BitCNY and BitUSD etc . BitCNY and BitUSD have both the same high-speed transaction , trust-less features as Bitcoin , in addition, BitAssets have  stability as the fiat they are pegged to . These features are essential to payment system . Once it applies at a large scale , it would completely remove the obstacles for crypto currencies to be used in payment system . As the original issuer of BitCNY and BitUSD , the market cap of Bitshares would be redefined by that .


As a matter of fact , the market had already valued the importance of BitAssets . When Bitshares was first online , BitAssets was still under development , the practicability was still unproven . Back then the price of BTS was floating between 0.04-0.08 CNY . The watershed of the BTS price happened when BitAssets was brought online , Bitshares rose from 0.06CNY to 0.3489CNY at a couple of days . Although the practicability of BitAssets have been proven , and yet like all new born things , BitAssets weren't perfect at first , so the application of BitAssets like BitCNY was hard to promote . The market once again sent it's signal with the price , the recent drop of Bitshares said that already .


Luckily , for months the inner-market exchange rules for BitAssets have been improved greatly , recently , our DacSun team studied the new rules with great length , we deemed that the essential conditions for BitAsssets to be successful are already there , it's about time for massive promotion of BitAssets like BitCNY and BitUSD . Here are the reasons :


1 ) We like to use BitCNY as an example . The zero cost for shorting BitCNY at the first stage has changed , now shorting BitCNY should pay interest to the long position , the interest rate will be determined by the supply and demand from the market . This rule has solved the situation of huge one-way selling pressure of BitCNY . Because if the selling pressure are higher , the interest pay by the short position would be higher too , that would decrease the demand for shorting . It also means that the long position can get more interest so the buying pressure would be higher . This rule has balanced the buy and sell side of BitCNY and lead to a more robust market .

2）BitCNY short position will no longer be indefinite . For now the shorter need to buy back their BitCNY within a month . The monthly cover makes BitCNY more easily goes back to a balanced position as it's fiat value .

It's not just us who sees that , many senior members of the Chinese community have acutely aware of the changes , some of them have already made explicit plan to be the market maker and exchange for BitCNY just to gave it a final boost for its success . For that , we DacSun team deeply appreciate their efforts , we believe soon there  will be BitCNY market makers and exchanges , and that would be important .

We the DacSun team have no doubt in the success of BitCNY . Of course the massive adoption of BitCNY will not happen for no reason , we hope every member of the Bitshares community can stick together and joint their effort for the payment application of BitCNY after the plan bring online. Of course , we the Dacsun team will do our part as well to offer incentive and support for the promotion by community members . We will also use all our media resources to help the promotion of BitAssets .


We hope within three months we can see the effective application of BitCNY . A little spark may kindle a great fire , the torch has already been lighted up , let us change the world .

Zach是一位技巧丰富的可用性工程师， 他对于Namecoin,  去中心化的DNS以及ID具有相当的热情. 任何关心区块链+网络架构的人应该都知道他是谁.
我正支用剩余的私有DNS资金加上一些我自己的钱来让Zach来到VA进行为期一周的试用工作， 时间预计在一月上旬， 情况就类似于当初dbrock以及drltc的时候.
这一周的试用期将会有酬劳， 他大概会做一些关于我们的钱包可用性当中的一些相对容易的部份. 但是此行真正的目的在于看看我们是否在哲学观点上能够彼此融洽， 并一起脑力激荡来找出能让我们持续支持Zach,  并让比特股从中获益， 并找出实现去中心化DNS的过程当中我们将要完成的事项.

请不要为此太过兴奋， 当中仍然有各种不同的可能性存在.  但是可能性当中包含了让Namecoin的核心开发者来为比特股DNS侧链工作， 为此让我们一起善待Zach =D

I have 2 computers with the following situation:
1. a personal desktop running BTS wallet 24/7, but it doesn't have a public IP
2. a VPS also running BTS wallet 24/7, but does not want to revel its IP since it is running other servces.

but I do want to help others get blocks synced ASAP, and I found the slowliness is one of the major reasons that would scare away newbies first time using BTS wallet. So I wonder if there is any way that I can be a seed node without public IP/IP revealed?

Newest changes for Bitshares Play whitepaper(additional information)
by Hackfisher

Nearly all value creating comes from the basic needs of humans. As for the gaming fields which Bitshares Play is dedicated to, the needs of game players can be divided into several classes: one is based upon risk-reward or luck, which is focused on reward. The other one is the need for entertainment and a sense of achievement, which is more like consumption or social activity.

Based on these two kinds of needs, different types of games were developed. The extreme example for the first kind is gambling games. There are different feelings toward gambling games in different countries and cultures.  One view is that humans are not perfect thus this kind of need should be suppressed, another view would be to trust the technology that a free market has to offer .

As a decentralized network and technology, Bitshares PLAY doesn't need to care about the different views of values. But as a game platform and DAC, different design would affect the games it should support. The major goal for Bitshares PLAY is to connect the game community and crypto community though technological innovation, so the conflict with different views of values should not be a task for us to care or solve.  So, we choose to support games for consumption and entertainment purposes instead of supporting gambling games.

We choose a one-way exchange model instead of a two-way built-in exchange, especially for on-chain games. That means the system can only trade PLS for game CHIPS (all coin or prop in games ) under present prices, not vice-versa. The income for selling CHIPS will give one part to the game providers, the other part belongs to the system. The price of CHIP from an on-chain game will depend on the total sold value and the total supply of CHIP.

On the other hand, the second hand game-props market still exists between players by the P2P model. The system will automatically match the buyer and seller to enhance efficiency. This kind of automatic exchange model is one of the advantages of a DAC compared to the traditional off-line trading platform. This kind of market model can help the circulation for goods and consumption, protect the interest for the plays, and promote the trading volume for the game providers. Some of the traditional platforms like Steam can do the same thing, but the transparency and trustless mechanism of a DAC is better.

At this point, we can see the model in Bitshares PLAY becomes to simplify and unify, and to be a decentralized game mall and second-hand game props market. The games in the game mall have on-chain and off-chain games, the difference depends on how the price will be set and if it's based on trust. On-chain games refer to those rules and economic models that exist on the blockchain.  The pricing model is based on income history and the current supply amount . On the other hand, the pricing model for off-chain games is solely decided by the game provider, the value of the game coins is determined by the credits of the provider, the DAC would set a reputation system to prevent fraud. Even compared to the traditional games, the advantage of a DAC unmanned company is huge. These advantages include no middleman (meaning lower risk, lower cost), transparency, openness and a degree of automation.

For mass adoption we need a traditional platform like PeerTracks for Music.  Playshare.io is such a platform. Like we said before, this kind of platform is just a node in the decentralized network of DAC, just like BitPay for Bitcoin. Everyone can build such platform, the network itself is decentralized and basic on open protocol. PLAY would prefer a model like BitPay to solve the volatility issue instead of a BitUSD model. These two models have different advantages and disadvantages. The reason for playshare.io to choose the BitPay model is that it's easy to spread and understand. As for future plans, it would not be difficult to change to a BitUSD model after it matures as long as we keep flexibility.

Thanks for Gulu, Clar, HeyD, Boombastic 's contribution for this article.
