Unfortunate for me.

I'll have a iPad, no other computer.
So I need a mobile solution that I can have 100% confidence in.

I've watched the Bitshares price double in recent weeks, and it seems like I'm going to miss the boat for investment before Bitshares 2.0 is released.

argh. frustrated.

Just wondering what the specification requirements (operating system, hardware etc... ) will be for the upcoming Bitshares 2.0 wallets?

a) Desktop wallet (Windows, Mac, Linux)

b) Mobile App Wallet
    (is this being released in conjunction with 2.0 ?)

c) Web Hosted Wallet (What browsers, Desktop and mobile)



A friend of mine has been having a very hard time successfully downloading the current Bitshares 1.0 wallet. So we hope with Bitshares 2.0 wallets, things will be much better.

I only have a 4th generation iPad, so I'm waiting for an app.

We both want to get into Bitshares with some decent money (ie more than "spare change") before 2.0 hits the market (for obvious investment/early adopter reasons).

We are not feeling comfortable of buying Bitshares and leaving them on an exchange until 2.0 comes out, that will feature better wallets. We obviously don't want to fall victim to poor security on an exchange, or get "Mt. Goxed"!

I just wish that there was some official instructional videos on the bitassets.

There's so much talk about BitUSD, but it seems no one seems to care about how to teach others how to grow the other bitasset currencies. Why?

I think the rest of the bitasset currencies would actually take off, if there was instructional videos of people actually showing how the beginning of each market is created.

Right now there is no BitAUD, BitMXN or BitNZD.

So let's take BitNZD...
Suppose I am your grandma living in New Zealand and yet there's no bitNZD currently in existence, how do I effectively create some bitNZD for myself to use?

I would want to see a step by step tutorial, with all the caveats so I know what potential risk I could be getting myself into (shorting, covering, etc...).

In fact, I would want to see a video demonstration of someone making some bitNZD, and show how the supply of bitNZD can now be seen on bitsharesblocks.com

Thanks for the insights Luckybit.

I agree with you Bob. Peertracks (or streaming services in general) would make a good solution for audio books.

Right now companies are skimming 30% (sometimes more) off every sale of Music, Ebook, and Video.

Somehow I think content creators might be able to do better on their own, and I think blockchains can help.

So here's some thoughts that might inspire you wonderful developers out there


What if your Digital Media Player/Library app on your computer/mobile devise, in fact had blockchain wallet built inside that ultimately decided whether or not you could open files in its vault to read, listen or view?



Imagine this hypothetical scenario to purchase an Ebook.....

- You want to buy an Ebook directly from an Author.

- You have to option to buy a license to have that book for a period of time (maybe a week, month, year, 60 years etc... )

- You decide to purchase the 1 week license, for 1 BitUSD, using your digital media player/wallet app.

- Once paid, the Ebook file downloads into a vault created your digital media library, and a separate TOKEN that represents the 1 week license you purchased also downloads into your directory of licenses you've purchased.

- The TOKEN grants you access/permission to read the digital media which is held in the vault inside the wallet.

- So, if you wish to read the Ebook, you downloaded, a multi-sig check must be done on the blockchain to confirm that the license attached to the token is still valid. If the license is valid, you may open the Ebook file to read it.

- Once files and licenses are downloaded into the wallet/digital media player, they cannot be transferred to another wallet.

- If the license has expired, the file will stay in the vault, unable to be opened. However this takes up disk space. So in order to free up space, you perform another check on the blockchain. The blockchain shows that the license has expired, and therefore instructs your digital media player app to delete the vault which contains the file.

- Deleting a file happens through multisig. The author that supplied the book and license has the ability to grant the Ebook to be deleted from your library, if you wish to as well. Your signature, plus theirs, instructs the file to be deleted.

Hope this inspires some of you out there in the Bitshares community.

Although I'm not a programmer, I have plenty of imagination
If I can help use my imagination to help others make the world a better place, it adds to my fulfillment.

Btw... this is another small taste of my imagination.
I have much more thoughts on this topic.

I have a solution for Music as well, that could solve the issue of piracy once and for all. Piracy will become a tool for music discovery. While the implementation of token controlled access used in musical artist's career protects their revenues. This topic has several layers of complexity to solve, but if completed.... bye bye iTunes, ticketmaster, and others that make their businesses by skimming 30%.

Hi -  I'm not a developer, but I am curious if the following is possible with Bitshares?


Is it possible to create a digital token for the purpose of granting controlled access?

For example:
If I had a hotel, and were to rent a room to someone for a night.


a) Could I sell a digital token to someone that would act as a key to the hotel room?

b) And that, such a key would would not be transferable to another person? (security)

c) And that, such a key would have a time expiry (smart contract?), or the door could be reprogrammed not to accept the key (digital token)?


Cheers

PS: Overall, I'm just trying to understand the ability of Bitshares to provide token controlled access. I can think of several applications. 

Some applications you may want to grant the ability to transfer the digital token to another person — such as in the case of warranties for products.

Watched Keiser Report today (http://youtu.be/tgYKebRxEtw), and the guest was representing Blockex.com

Blockex apparently are a fiat to alt coin exchange.
Apparently they won't accept USD, due to regulations though.

The guest said they were accepting fiat for Startcoin (which is what Max K. is behind)

Has anyone in our Bitshares community used their service?
