I bet traders would start coming in if we had this integration.. Use the wallet to setup and mt4 to trade replacing the job of exchanges..

A walet and exchange should not be together theynare seperate problems with seperate comcerns, wastimg time on the exchange portion is inefficient

Any updates on the progress?

I don't think much has been done since the last post... I've been trying to drum up some interest again though.

The BTS community is stuck on this thought that fee's are the problem with adoption and market cap growth.  The fee's aren't the problem, the interface is.  I'm hoping that the blocktrades worker proposal can be redirected to creating an metatrader plugin.  They seem like the most able candidate to integrate bts and mt4.  I would even advocate doubling their pay to get this done if that's what it takes.

The Chinese bts community is stuck on fees.

They also complain about UI. However most of them have never used MT4 (even BM hasn't).

Its used worldwide, bm isnt a trader so he doesnt know

I'm glad there is at least one person in the world that still believes in Bitshares' potential.

Here is something that makes me believe in BitShares - the exchange is actually growing in usage: http://cryptofresh.com/charts

The overall trend is up, and each of those peaks are higher.

You mean the asshole's "bot" is working greater each passing day?... well together of the other 'no-matching' bots?

Are the bots paying fees resulting in BTS being burned or returned to the reserve pool?  If so then it doesnt really matter whether its a bot or a person making the orders.


Successful exchanges with liquidity will attract a lot of bots.  Poloniex has tons of them, any time you put in a big order, bots will instantly move orders in front of it.

Its actually a really neat site to see whats happening with bitshares

We can accomplish this with a pretty straight forward Smart Contract on Bitshares I believe.

The process would basically involve creating an EBA (UIA) that interfaces with a hosted wallet of said coin.

Similar to how blocktrades works, a deposit address associated with the EBA would be generated.

When the deposit hits the address a transaction is sent via the smartcontract to issue the EBA to the associated Bitshares account.

When the user wants to withdraw, they would perhaps send the amount they want to withdraw to a given bitshares address with a certain memo to specify the target address. The EBA is removed from their account and the coin is transferred to where ever they wanted it to go.

This would require maintaining a very secure environment.. but it's been done before.

This would effectively transfer coins in and out of bitshares in their full value.

It's doable.. I bet blocktrades is already like 90% of the way there.

You need acct for cross chain coin transfers...

Future proof of work is not determinant thus the mess we are in.. This is why satoshi designed it so that the work you do is valued at present and only that, the exchange of value of work is easily calculated and understood.. Imo he considered energy as a component to base inflation on because adhusting inflation has to be based on a factor that is not manipulated and everyone can evaluate piblically.mining efficiency could be the measure of how energy is utilized to track and adjust inflation of momey supply... The rei applocation looks interestimg because i have had issues with rei in terms of agent trust and contracts.. And there does exist an oppurtunity to overthrow the system here

They have good documentation and examples of applicaoons of their "features", for example leveraging the key value system to extend to any abstract business with data requirements in decentralized fasshion... so we need marketing related documentation to entice managent of azure and the likes.. developers can look at the api documentation.. azure will pick us up no prob

What exactly is "marketing documentation"?

http://emercoin.com/content/EMCDPO.pdf
http://emercoin.com/EMCDPO

That is just for the name value system.. See how they extrapolate with examples to trigger the readers imagination(marketing).

And then follow it up with a technical writeup

http://emercoin.com/EMCDNS_and_NVS

And that is for the copy paste code of namecoin.cpp 0,6,3... They took the name system and did documentation on it and made it "sexy".. Appealing to external people out of crypto.

The only innovation here is the ddns which i dont know is custom or copied, and relating it to thr name value system through lookups.

Its more fluid than what we have to a lehman. The migration guid should be less prevalent because newcomers wont care for bts 1.. Perhaps it should be the use cases link instead or, "what is bitshares"? And start talking about the big picture with links to the individual features we offer and within therr the links to tech documentation.. If we create this flow and get lehman to test it out snd repeat back what we want them to learn then its ready to go for azure.

Took me several clicks just now to read what i wanted i was jumpimg around.. With empty space on the side there should be some graphic symbolizing the feature it is talking about.. It will invite readers to stay on the pages that are important... Especially omes describing features..

All we need is for ppl to feel they are educated quickly about what we are about without trying to sound so smart that you need to be an engineer to "get" the idea of bitshares. We want them to say oh ok cool it can do that? What else? Ok cool i dont need the tech details you have sold me, seems like smart ppl behind this one.

The "features" marketing documentation should probably follow the guideline:
1) what problem are we solving? (Think outside of crypto)
2) why current solutions are not sufficient
3) validate that we are capable of solving and extendimgnthe solution with outside thembox thinking (so they will feel as if only we can solve related problems going fwd, basically hand holding)
4) how the feature works roughly for a lehman
5) what else can bitshares do? (Other marketing pages for other features)

Documentation to a project is like unit testing part of development.. It is equally important to the actual features.. If you only have half you wont have many ppl giving a shit especially ones that review it at a higher level to see if its worth more effort to integrate with.

You know what the fundamental problem that the Bitshares community has always had. You guys decided that you solved all of the space's problems and then went into a bubble saying let's not interact with others outside of declaring our vast superiority. This debate is a perfect opportunity to inject Bitshares into the discussion about reaching scalability. Bitcoin issues are Bitshares issues. Bitshares was funded by Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the reference cryptocurrency for all people to compare against. And both use the same family of technologies.

If someone is saying hey let's improve the core technology in Bitcoin, then everyone in the Bitshares community should be leaping at the opportunity to have a discussion about it. It means you get media exposure, new developer interest and perhaps more funding. Use common sense man!

One person does not make the community.. Most of us are receptive to crypto news regardless thus making the community opposite of what you just made it out to be. Nice article.

The key value system is a direct ripoff of namecoin aliases, then they tie it into the ddns system.

There is a dns server built in, and a pay per click model builtin which is interesting...

No unittests.. Its a sell for me.
