well...I hope you all the best

any candidate for this role right now? how about kevin harrington?

He is moving from employee to independent entrepreneur with the same task but powerful new incentives and capabilities.

Hey Stan, I have a plan to promote the market in Africa for BTS. What do you think about this? I wish you gonna support me.

It's not Stans job to support you. It's the collective shareholders in general. Make a delegate proposal in the delegate sub, lay out your plan in detail and see if your idea is worth funding. I'm eager to hear what your plan is!

  africa could be a great potential market, if we get mobile light weight wallets out there asap

I will. I have been in Africa country for more than four year. I worked as a marketing there. So I know why lots of guys there need currency digital and how the application could be there!

I just come back from Mali and literally at every corner of the street there is a Orange booth, for people to transfer money with their phone. Orange charge about 3% fee for every transfer witch is a lot. Yes the potential is big but there are tons of problems to overcome. Anyway  looking forward to see your delegate proposition. What country you have been in Africa ?

I may be missed this one but I'm wondering who's this delegate and what exactly he's doing to be payed at  100%? Sorry if this was answered somewhere.

Give the man a break

Go back and look at my 1000+ posts. I've been more supportive than almost anyone on this board. Some would call me a shill. And I'll continue to be supportive. I just don't see VOTE as any more important than getting BitShares ready. This Vote thing will bring in a few people, but it is experimental or long term at best. For whatever share I have through my AGS donations and all the BTS I've bought, I would vote to put developer time on getting this client ready.

 

I disagree. 

1) Voting does not have to be incorporated by the government for it to be extremely beneficial to our ecosystem.  Why?  Because voting is just another word for polling (in a way that is highly resistant to sybil attacks).  Why is polling so valuable?  Consensus...and what does our ecosystem rely on more than anything?  One word--Consensus.  'nuff said on that. 

2) How do we teach the layman of the benefits of our technology?  I have tried many pitches to the general public for this technology.  In order to teach about bitUSD, bitGold...etc, we first need to teach about the differences between fiat and money.  And that is just the beginning of the train wreck that ensues.  However, when I ask people "Do you know, for certain, when you push that little button on the black box next to so and so's name, that you are really voting for him/her?", they intuitively understand.  It is so easy to step into the value of transparency in voting...and from there it is a very small (but powerful) step to expand the conversation to "once this technology is adopted by everyone, we won't even need representatives...because you can vote on the issues that matter to you--directly and transparently" is an easy step to make. 

3) Polling services can make a great deal of money in and of themselves--without real world voting even being attached.

We ignore the value of these things and we are missing a huge representation of value.

I agree. It has been 6 years Bitcoin is out and , as is it right now, it is just drop in ocean on the financial world. There are many reason why this is happening, but the main problem is because there is no mass adoption. People they don't get it or don't really care. People are living their life, if they need meat they go to the butcher if they need money they go to the bank because that's the way the system works since we are born. People generally don't see their banks as a centralizes entity, they see it like a trustworthy place to put their money. People don't have libertarian views by default
Money is same like air you just breath it you don't think about it. So good luck explained them bitUSD.

The killer app in crypto is the one that gets mass adoption, and there is nothing out there yet, but it is coming sooner or later.
For mass adoption  you need something easy to understand and use, something that need not explaining  so you need a Trojan horse for the masses. I think Vote is a very good candidate and Music is the other.

Adam delegate is  out now. What we really need to do is to vote cass in , he's so close !!

Another country where bitUSD could explode :  http://panampost.com/peter-sacco/2014/12/02/venezuelas-plummeting-bolivar-dips-into-hyperinflation/

We definitely need to translate everything in  Spanish. Clearly there is tremendous potential in Latin America for bitUSD.

I'm voting for matt608 for sure.

I could see that plan working. Making people vote in a parallel transparent, anonymous and trustless system it is exciting. Giving back their power and trust is priceless. New Mine questions are very good and raise valid issues  but I think the FMV strategy has a very fair probability that it will work  because they not gonna fight the system they offer a alternative as an experiment. I think making people vote on FMV that's Adam power and his marketing experience will come in handy.
 
I agree with Bytemaster is  much more easy to market Voting that Bitshares  simply because everybody get it and is affected by it and they know that they have a voice, money in the other hand, everybody use it but very few understand it and people believes they have no power to change nothing.

I'm not sure  that's a good strategy to reveal the plans in advance. There  are organisation and companys that have the legal and financials resources to just crash about anything in sight very easily, the only way to beat them is to be clever. Think at how many startup are in stealth mode, because if they don't do it that way, someone more powerful and resourceful will steal the idea and run with it.

If Vote will work then transition to Bitshares will be a piece of cake. If people trust Vote they will trust Bitshares, if this plans come together this the sure  way to make Btshares whatever we all dream it up to be.

Hey mic9,

welcome to the BitShares community.

From my understanding the details are not available/published yet. But IIRC the first product (peertracks) will have a streaming platform available .. so my guess would be that (as you pay a little fee to peertracks) .. that they will host the servers for that .. Not sure if if remember correctly, but in one of the mumble dev hangout sessions cob told us about needing these fees to pay for legal and servers ...

I don't think musicians will be required to run servers .. that doesn't make too much sense ..

Music will be hosted by Peertracks server that is for sure. Artist does not need to do nothing besides opening an account and uploading the music on Peertracks and of course issuing Artiscoins . As for the fees this is still up in the air fee or not fee, but my guess is there will be some kinds of fees.
