Does anyone in this community arbitrage for a living?
With all the volatility and many Exchanges to choose from, there should be a wide variety of software applications available for doing crypto-arbitrage, right?
 
Quatloo Trader looks nice, but afaik @fyrstikken only released it on windoze. (i'm a linux guy now)
 
Can someone here name the top 3 crypto-arbitrage apps for me? Google reveals bupkis.
Please and thanx

Could we change this sentence:
The most popular bridge is currently ShapeShift.
 
..to this:
The most popular BitShares bridge is currently MetaExchange.
(and href to the .info site of course)

It's 7 connections right now, won't go any higher. Should I use the console to add more connections or something?
I'd rather not upgrade till 0.10.0 is out next month.
lmk, please and thanx

Bloomberg changed their link.
The Bloomberg Businessweek link "read more..." needs to be edited to this new link instead:

I'd like to change the password, maybe even add 2FA, is this possible yet?
I didn't use a very strong password on first install and I'm getting a pretty substantial amount of money invested into bts and bitassets so I need to make sure my investments are as secure as possible, ya know?

The wiki.bitshares.org site is really out of date and as Bitshares progresses it's only gonna get worse.
I'm trying to learn everything I can about BTS before dumping much more money into this. Oh, and yes, I plan on dumping a lot more into this
 
I'd like to help with the wiki but it needs to be syndicated from github first.
Heck, once it's up to date you could even publish it to gitbook so we can all download it as an [always-up-to-date] eBook (pdf, mobi, epub, etc).
A Bitshares 101 second edition if you will.
 
The Bitshares Toolkit Wiki should move to:
github.com/BitShares/bitshares/toolkit/wiki (or something like that.)
 
I'd like to contribute to the DNS (.p2p, .dac) stuff too, but it will need to be up on github as well.
 
Can someone please make the mods on github and get the wiki syndicated so we can start helping out, learn about BTS much faster, and never see outdated docs again?
Please and thanx

Re: http://wiki.bitshares.org/index.php/DAC/Hiring_Employees,_Management_and_Development_Teams
 
Getting hired as a Delegate by a blockchain-driven DAC is WAY more secure than a traditional j.o.b. oh, and no more top heavy management either since they can simply be voted out and replaced with efficiencies never before seen in traditional companies. DPOS DAC's - simply awesome.
 
SAMIR
I have to leave now, ok? (gets up) I have to get my resume ready.
PETER
Get your resume ready for what? Another job where they can fire you for no reason?
SAMIR
That's right! If I'm lucky.
PETER
Look, I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired of being pushed around. Aren't you?
SAMIR
Yes, Peter, but I'm not going to do something illegal.
PETER
Illegal? Samir, this is America! Come on, sit down! Come on! This isn't Riyadh! They're not gonna saw your hands off, all right?
.......
PETER
The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy. It's just that I just don't care.
BOB PORTER
Don't, don't care?
PETER
It's a problem of motivation, all right? Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!
BOB SLYDELL
I beg your pardon?
PETER
Eight bosses.
BOB SLYDELL
Eight?
PETER
Eight, bob. So that means when I make a mistake, I have eight different people coming by to tell me about it. That's my real motivation - is not to be hassled. That and the fear of losing my job, but y'know, Bob, it will only make someone work hard enough not to get fired.

I'm sure a Delegate is already workin on this, but thought I might post my observation here..
 
CoinMarketCap shows all the bitassets except for BitEUR.. Can we get on there somehow?
http://coinmarketcap.com/assets/views/all
 
Shapeshift shows one bitasset now, but not all 6. Can that be fixed too?
