Is there another checklist "step 1 do this, step 2 do that" available besides this thing?
https://github.com/BitShares/bitshares/wiki/DAC-Launch-Checklist
 
That one is for coders (sort of), but I can't find an actual checklist that the general public could follow.
Please and thanx for any direction on this...

BitShares community, please give a warm welcome to Will Thomas.
 
Will is the Founder of CryptoMate, a UK-based cryptocurrency Gateway which allows almost anyone with a bank account to buy cryptocurrencies directly. Will is a 14+ year IT and marketing guy with a passion for economic empowerment, politics, science and technology. He also Founded BritCoin, an altcoin which gave him a world of experience in the cryptocurrency space. Allen Scott (@ The CoinTelegraph) published a beautiful writeup on CryptoMate last week too!
 
Using the UK Banking Initiative "Faster Payments" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_Payments_Service), just about anyone can now buy cryptocurrencies with their bank account directly, in just a couple of hours!
 
Will's Question:
Right now Cryptomate is a registered company with 3 directors each with a certain % in shares, once version 2.0 is launched (the peer-2-peer exchange platform) and is operational, we will be paying out shareholders automatically every 24 hours in BTC based on their % share of the company.  Since we don't accept any FIAT (buyers send directly to sellers/vendors) and the service generates revenue in BTC through fees, we were thinking of selling shares through crowd funding where investors get a % shares in the company and the daily profit pay-outs.

This would be a great opportunity for Will to form a DAC and utilize UIA's for this funding, yes? Once CryptoMate v2.0 is released, I think this would also be a great money-maker for CryptoMate to offer market-pegged, low-volatility BitAssets like bitUSD, bitCNY and bitGOLD as well.
 
Let me know your thoughts guys and please give Will a warm welcome!

Another "decentralized" exchange hits CoinTelegraph, am looking for an upvote to his writeup:
http://cointelegraph.com/news/114365/the-future-of-crypto-exchanges-and-the-race-to-become-as-decentralized-as-possible#comment-2043953017

1. Are UIA's going to change with the release of BitAssets 2.0/3.0? If so, what will be changed?
 
2. Could I use a UIA to hold my subscribers/depositors (a site I'm working on for BitShares) monthly dues? This way those dues create liquidity for the UIA.
 
3. Could the UIA pay rewards to those depositors/subscribers?
 
4. Will the UIA pay its holders (those who trade it) some Yield like a typical BitAsset?
 
5. What will a 5 character symbol (letters only) cost?
 
6. Living in (and issuing from) Germany, what sort of legal things should I do before I create the UIA? Then, before the UIA issues Yield or rewards?
 
7. I'd like the UIA to somehow pay an employee of our Munich DAC. Possible?
 
I need to make sure I do this properly. This DAC is going to generate a LOT of fees for the BitShares DAC and bring a LOT of investment, so I need to make sure I'm doing this right.
 
Please and thanx guys for any help with this you can provide

It's party time in Czechoslovakia - Děkuji! Děkuji!!

I'm seeing this "funny" trend..
1) Paypal starts accepting Bitcoin and it barely bumps the btc price.
 
2) Ripple Labs raises $28 MILLION and their share price only bumps up for about 22 hours.

3) The top 15 on CoinMarketCap, overlaid, follow each others 7-day VERY closely.
 
4) Pumpndump rallies never seem to last more than 36 hours.
 
So, for global growth it all comes down to this:
A) Which companies have the most robust product line?
B) Which companies employ the most experienced, driven, and accountable staff?
C) Which companies have the best image?
D) Which companies generate profit and do not need VC control?
E) Which companies are attracting mass media and Whales' attention?
