Actually not at the end of each block but somewhere in between. An important point is that the market engine runs *before* new orders are applied to the market, i. e. after creating an order it will take at least two blocks before it has been executed.

What's the rationale behind this? Why aren't orders matched as they go into the current block?

I believe orders are matched highest bid to lowest ask, and that only equal priced orders are sequenced non-deterministically.  I'll have to confirm this.

If this is the case, then it won't be known which orders should match until the full list of orders for the given block is complete.  Then, the actual processing of the order list takes some time, and delegates don't want to miss their block production time.  So then the only way is to finalize the order list in one block, process that list between blocks, and then finalize it in the following block.

I think a lot of our grass roots customer acquisition will be greatly accelerated once we have solid light and mobile wallets.

I know that's what I'm waiting for before I start seriously recruiting less technical friends.

What I think the platform needs, is the ability to look at everything priced in BitUSD, BitCNY, BitEUR. So it looks like a real trading platform and would appeal to those who want to use it as such.

Take for example ability to trade the pairs BitUSD:BitCNY, or BitCNY:BitGOLD, etc. That would really create demand for BitUSD, BitCNY, etc.

You can already do this. Every asset is tradable against every other asset already, most of those markets just don't have much adoption and liquidity.

If kind of screenshot, or demo video is provided in pace with the launch, it would be better. People still cannot believe why Moonstone is important and how it is awesome.

Great Idea clayop!

I think a row of videos and giving more visual importance to the potential 15% return might be super important.

Anything else we should add or change?

^ This.  No offence, but at this point there's no actual video showing anything that works (as far as I know), and no publicly accessible source code.  The more you can show people to convince them it isn't vaporware, the more comfortable they'll be contributing.

Have you seen this video ?

No, I had not, thank you.

I realize it's a bit late now, but for any other readers, this is much easier to manage if you break up your shorts into small orders.  That way you can roll it all over gradually with a lot less extra BTS.

Is it all a single order coming due at once?

Yes, NOTEs are trading on BitShares.  If you import your AGS and PTS keys, you should see them in your BitShares wallet.

The dilution rate is lower than that of Bitcoin, and can actually be focused toward more useful contributions than mining.  If the transition to dilution is a major factor in the market cap dropping, I think it's a result of the way the change was handled, not a response to the change itself.  Thus, reversing it could just scramble things even more.  If you want to get rid of dilution without further disrupting the system, I suggest running and voting for low or zero pay delegates.
