This is so cool.
Wait, never mind.
We already have this.
Plugged in to existing exchanges too.
check out electrons.io

Yes, am shamelessly advertising it.

You should get this integrated with the wallet by submitting a pull request

I'll look into this.
Appreciate the input.

For those confused about how to use it to exchange,

1. Send BTS to electron-io with your BTC wallet id as the memo
2. Wait 3-5 minutes, while the system auto exchanges and sends you the btc.

I'd appreciate it if a few members here tested it with 1k-2k bts each and posted their experiences.
I'll work on the FAQ and other aspects soon.

For those wary about exchange rates - try exchanging in small batches, check with poloniex and see what the rates come to be (and let us know).
As of now, we take no fee.

P.s- the grid has been down, where I stay, but I'll be on in a few more hours and respond to all queries / PM's

Regards

"Page not found"

Works fine for me.

NOTE: The account is electron-io but the site is electrons.io. In the ANN post above both spellings are referred to as the BTS account but only one is valid. I'd advised them via a transfer memo :).

Fixed it.
Thank you so much

People keep talking about the “killer” app for Bitcoin being developed by teams with millions of dollars in backing, yet we fail to find the one solution that strikes it right with the retail markets. Talk about alt currencies with your average internet consumer and there is no way in hell you would possibly have him acquire a coin, without having to go through the nuances of transferring currency to the bank, acquiring bitcoin, then sending it to an alt-coin exchange, then paying for the currency itself. Throughout this process, there’s the painful aspect of fluctuating prices which would further lead to disappointments in the end consumer’s mind. In addition, for the “price” conscious consumer, this is an added paingpoint as he’ll have to usually set up accounts in multiple exchanges to garner the best rates while battling it out against a barrage of bots set up by individuals with years of experience in these scary markets. In such a scenario, creating something that is easy and intuitive enough for your grandma to use, yet complicated enough to battle it out with the smartest bots in the industry becomes a challenge. Yet , this is a challenge we rise up to every single day in the multitudes of businesses we’ve engaged in. Today, we are glad to formally announce yet another product into the ecosystem, built with the intent of providing a no-nonsense exchange without unwanted fee involvements.

Being individuals that routinely accept payments in alt’s we’ve had to spend hours just ensuring we get the best rates on our coins while ensuring the markets don’t crash due to any swift movements. In addition, maintaining accounts at multiple exchanges adds to the pain points. In order to tackle this, we created an API that converses with multiple exchanges in real time, places optimal buy and sell orders and reverts in a matter of minutes. We then interlinked user provided payout addresses to ensure users can garner the service without having to repeatedly copy paste their wallet id’s. What would this mean for the average user ?

We just created a system that does exchanges for you, without you ever having to visit the exchange or the gate way. Send money to a  wallet id, and the system exchanges and sends BTC to you right away.


So what would this truly mean for the end user?


It means we’ve made acquiring alt’s at the fastest rate possible, as easy as checking out from Amazon. Just a matter of copying the wallet id, sending in the bitcoin and well, you’re pretty much done. Since the  system reserves your wallet id for future transactions, you will not need to repeatedly copy paste transactions like you’d do at Shapeshi(f)t.  In addition, if you are a freelancer looking to take payments either in Bitcoin or Bitshares, you can simply send either of your wallet id’s and the system automatically sends you the other currency without you ever having to either reveal your holding currency nor having to spend time exchanging it, ever.

Take that for mass consumption!




FAQ’s

1. Is this decentralized ?


No, this is not decentralized in the true sense of the word. Users are still to send funds to our system, which is then dispersed across exchanges. What this does mean though, is that our system cannot be taken down, by solely taking down electrons.io. Since funds are sent to exchanges in real time, we don’t hold anyone’s funds for too long and the question of a potential loss during a hack is non existent. Similarly, users will be able to directly send cash to a bts wallet id (currently electron-io) and receive bitcoin without viisiting the site at all.

2. How does a user experience his coin ?


In order to exchange your currency, you are not required to visit the site at all. Simply send the BTS to electron-io with your bitcoin wallet id as a memo

3. What kind of volumes can this exchange?

Since this is purely experimental and the amount of market support for Bitshares is low, we recommend you to experiment with small batches. While we are able to track large payments, we are not able to gaurantee market support. Exchanges over 100,000 can have substantial impact on the prices and due to the same you are expected to exchange in batches






Note : No fancy fundraisers, no share-drops, no equity splits. This is a product released by Freebie LLC in the best interests of the community. We take no fee (for now). For corporate enquiries e-mail xypher@mail.com

we have tons of gaming oriented products coming to market soon :)

Will I be able to kill unicorns and sell their horns on the market for BTS?  ;)

Err, similar concept.

@Freebieservers was digibyte built using bitshare technology?

I don't think so. Its easy to build something like that though.
We'll probably do it one of these days when we find the time.

made this to showcase how fast it is to tip, i did this in under 1 min and this was NOT being loged in to open ledger already!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Y5Ws1xqZS8


using our open tip system and openledger, its so effortless and simple.

We should add that to bitshares.org if/when improvements are made to the bot and is ready for reddit, twitter, etc Also add it to bitshares youtube pages.

We should be ready on that front by saturday.

We are in the works for creating a game item marketplace and an e-sports betting site for months now.
It's been pending due to cash deficits, legal issues and other distractions we've been battling for a bit.
We intend to launch it with Bitshares plugged in.

Regards

What if you just hosted a site where people could use BitShares' Prediction Markets? PMs are decentralized. Would that still have legal issues? That should be the whole point of PMs.

I am assisting with the launch of the tipbot, and then another  project aimed at market liquidity over the coming week.
I'll try and dig up the documentation on this and read up. If you could link me, I'd appreciate it.
I'll need to do my reading before I can comment on this. Bytemaster had also referred to this in our initial thread and am keen to look at what's on offer.

not just reddit, twitter too. It seems easier to have a bigger reach. From that people would flow into r/bitshares

The tipbot will soon have UIA integration with twitter support, so enterprises and companies will be able to "tweet" tokens to the end users. This should by live by the weekend.

Disqus is another good commenting platform to use.

Since many websites including bignamed one like ign.com are using it as their commenting system.

And a simple google search of "blog comments powered by Disqus + (keyword)" would load any websites talking about your topic of choice using the disqus commenting system. In this case you can replace keyword with bitshares or bitshares 2.0 I hope this helps ^_^

Wonderful idea. I'll pass it to the team.

The tipbot we are working on will soon support reddit.
I'll look into Quora and Medium (later) because those too are some very interesting platforms.

It's Tony's opinion, not FUD. This forum was built on free speech. I've seen plenty of FUD before and his posts definitely do not fit that definition. Sometimes, he makes it more seem more personal than it should. But like all of us, he wants to see BitShares succeed and is a bit frustrated, I think, by some of the peripheral projects he views as a waste of time and effort. Personally, I think Fuzzy does a great job as an ambassador. At the same time, he does cast a pretty wide net and is on a permanent quest to build bridges when some in the community might not agree that those bridges are always helpful. Whether I agree or not with the criticism, it should be quite acceptable to question whether all activity really brings about productivity/value. And there may be a difference in how we define productivity/value as well.

Free speech and constructive criticism is at the crux of any good collaborative effort, but misusing the powers they give you.. that's what leads to resentment.
I am glad to have TonyK here giving us inputs, but so far I've not seen any positive sentiment from him, anywhere, which kind of makes me a bit worried.

Regards
