General Discussion / How about a bitshares leadership summer meet
« on: March 22, 2015, 03:24:05 am »
Hey everyone,
I think a meetup in the flesh with bitshares leadership, delegates, and entrepreneurs building on top of the protocol would be incredibly beneficial.
Knowing it will most likely be in the US, I will selfishly suggest sometime between June 15th and August 15th as that is when I will be in the US next.
Is there any interest in this? Virginia meet be a good location to keep costs down for the most amount of people or something like Vegas could be fun enough to draw more people. Is there any interest in this? To get specific.... perhaps answer this question.
Would you attend a bitshares specific event that would span a Saturday and Sunday this summer if it were held in America?
Feedback welcome

I cant wait to have a phone app without the delegate and markets tab to promote.
And when that happens, we should send Max to the 'Shark Tank' http://abc.go.com/shows/shark-tank .

General Discussion / The web wallet is a must use sales tool.
« on: March 16, 2015, 11:34:24 pm »
I just spoke to a couple of non-crypto people.
Talked about bitshares for about an hour with not much to show except confusion.
Then we went to https://wallet.bitshares.org/ and I asked them sign up for an account.
I sent them 50 cents each, and got them to send 25 cents to each other. The whole process was done in less than 5 minutes and light bulbs were going off all over the place.
The web wallet is a must use sales tool for non-crypto and is actually an easier sale than crypto people. Crypto people struggle to get over the stable currency thing. Non-crypto people never think to ask. Futures contracts, derivative markets and delegates never get mentioned.
I cant wait to have a phone app without the delegate and markets tab to promote.
edit: I should mention I have done this same process for bitcoin many times over the years and the difference is huge. Bitcoin still left them confused because what is a bitcoin worth? This is infintely more powerful. When they send 50 cents.... they get it. No more question other than... Can we do it again?

I would be interested in having this vision filled out... what are the components needed. Fill in all the blanks. What will it take to get there?

This is why I got involved in bitshares. This is an absolute inevitability in my opinion. Who are the entrepreneurs who will make it happen first? Big bucks are lying around just wating to be picked up.

General Discussion / Re: Mercury, first fully decentralized exchange releases source code
« on: March 06, 2015, 04:04:22 am »AFAIK .. order book is processed on a CENTRALIZED server .. hence, no competition to BTS imhoFrom http://mercuryex.com/
When making trades, your wallet will use the Mercury Order Book service to find bid or ask offers opened by other traders. This service is centralized, but it is never involved in the actual transfer of funds so it doesn't require any trust.
What are the flaws, if any in this approach? Is this a way to make trustless transfers from bitbtc to btc?
