"Futures giant Chicago Mercantile Exchange, Thomson Reuters and the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) will now run the show through an electronic, auction-based and auditable systems."

This system uses an anonymous auction to help set prices, maybe they read about Bitshares! There is mention of rounds of auctions and then a price fix at midday. Just wondered if there was any technical reason for a price "fix" at set times, i.e. why not have a continuously adjusted price.

I want to vote for someone who isn't already a top 100 delegate. A brief pitch why here, might persuade me to cast a vote.

When an asset is first released, for example an asset that is planned to mirror the real time price of a commodity, how will this be affected initially in different trading conditions, for example if trading volumes are low? I might expect (or personally, I mean, have a wild guess) that the asset will more likely than not be undervalued. But I am not sure how the Bitshares X chains are initialized.

1. The vulnerability that recently affected Counterparty, could this affect other second gen. cryptocurrencies like MSC NXT BTS?

2. In any such event that can occur, is it best to previously define groundrules for best clarity?
Working these out afterwards creates lots of forum flack, moreso if rules are less well defined. For example, can trade rollbacks occur?
