Given Dan and company's inability take care of the little things when they matter most (like coordinating the upgrade of exchanges) their total lack of business acumen

That leaved me a bad taste also...
One week before snapshot he states he will focus the last week to coordinate the upgrade off the exchanges...
And after snapshot he just confirms that bittrex (I suppose the same is true for others,bter(?)) was not individually  informed and they should know about it because 1 month prior we made a buzz about this news...
If we had 50 exchanges that support us I could  understand it,  but we have only six (poloniex,btc38,bittrex,bter,yunbi,metaexhange)...
With this logic he shouldn't care informing any exchange prior snapshot...

PS I believe that exchanges in reality knew of course about the migration.  But  we gave them the opportunity to blame us for the luck of communication/migration... If bm had sent them only one fu#$% email before snapshot (2 minutes "work") they would not even have the chance to do it...

PS2 I agree with almost everything clout has said...

I think lack of business mind is the problem.
The team do not understand there are things very easy but create huge value. Making migration more easier, notify exchanges are things of this kind.

If the team consider more, we will spend less effort, and create more value. Think about why Dash and Dogecoin have a larger marketcap without the "innovation" like bitshares.

We lean on innovation too much, but do not understand to solve a problem we also need many "traditional" method. We lean on develop too much, but do not understand to solve a problem there are other steps to take. Or, we do not have real problem-solve mind too.

From my sight, problem is lack of business mind, and aim too high but solve no real business problem for now.
Must admit the dev team have done a lot good work.

I talked with them, they're working on it and they said it should take ~2 months. It will be a simple interface at first but they're looking into doing more work as to provide us with a trader like interface in the future.

Thanks！

I think a simple UI is enough. No need to spend too much time for the little group of profesional trader.

Just remember that "little group of professional traders" is who brings liquidity to the table. And without liquidity the bit-assets (i.e. SmartCoins) are just useless.

IMO it goes like this:
good trading interface -> liquidity -> SmartCoins become practical -> normal users start using BTS

Yes, this may work.
I mean simple, mean it is a good UI for most people ease to use.

What the gateway can get to do so. The exchange fee is too low.
And the fee to place an order is high. Why not lower the fee to place order and increase the exchange fee? (Even can be set by the issuer)

Sounds good, but we have prepare yet. Hope good luck.

Utility should be the priority , that can create network effect thus increasing the price. Once people notice the speed BitShares protocol presents it will make the price skyrocket . There should be a simple user interface specificaly designed for   the general public  . Many people will want to enjoy the speed without dealing with the complexity. Everything is going pretty well if you ask me ..

yes, everything is very good except the smart asset, we shouldn't spent too much at smart asset now, we can delay this when BTS return to 0.05USD

if we have support some business, the liquildty will be larger, and this lead to a tight peg.
All this have connection.
I agree that support business is the key to start.
