Howcome bitEUR sees so little action? Are there almost no Europeans in on BTS?

Should work fine, especially after tuning torrc to consider bitshares-related connections long-lived (it'll then choose only reliable [high uptime] relays).
I mean, you can do VoIP over tor with hidden services and get <1000ms latency, and that's with hidden services which tend to be slower.

How about running the delegate through a proxy, namely, Tor?
Proxy support at the moment appears to be nonexistant, transparent proxying might be possible though ..

How about 'normal' online businesses, and getting paid in bitXXX (possibly not the best abstraction there.. heh) ?
Would this not bring advantages, especially for those on the frontline who are already being paid in crypto? There seems to be good potential there, I'm willing to bet these people would prefer to have stable value on their earnings instead of being subject to btc/altcoin volatility.

Noted, svk and delulo - so, essentially, doing something productive 
I'm a bit stumped on the no automatic downvotes, pretty sure I read it somewhere yesterday, perhaps even @bytemaster's blog. Must be outdated info.
How about sub-delegates? Say someone wants to run 10 delegates from different locations for resilliency. According to docs I've found, this should be done with subaccounts, yes?
If yes: How does voting work then? Do people vote for the 'master' account while all the subaccounts reap the benefits?
When using subaccounts, should each subaccount have a specific goal in mind, or it does not make sense to subdivide like that?

Noted re the explorer site, thanks!
When you say there's no automating voting, you're talking only about automatic UPvoting, yes?
I am curious, out of the hundreds of delegates out there, what makes a particular one stand out? Besides running a tight & stable ship (read: no security incidents and excellent uptime), what incentive is there for people to vote for a certain delegate?

Technical Support / On becoming a delegate - a few simple questions
« on: February 25, 2015, 06:53:38 am »
Undoubtfully, delegates are a crucial part of BitShares. Being a security-focused IT person, it is only natural to marry that with my growing interest in bitshares.
Even after searching, a few things are still not clear. Hopefully some of you could help.
First of all, it is my understanding that all clients will detect certain easy-to-spot misbehaving by delegates -- automatically, and downvote them accordingly. Is the opposite also true? Will longstanding well-behaving delegates be automatically upvoted?
What constellation of conditions is necessary for a delegate to reach the top 101? Does that list tend to stay the same, or it's always rotating, possibly enforced by the system?
Is there some 'delegate explorer' website out there?
Lastly, pertaining payouts, it is my understanding that delegates get paid in bitshares, correct?
How many bitshares will that be -- does it depend exclusively on the burn rate, or also something else?
I read somewhere that at (that) the moment, a delegate is expected to get about $2500 equivalent in BTS, presumably for a month of service. Is this more or less right?
If so, as an extremely well versed systems administrator who's fully comfortable with securing unix systems to high grade, what prevents me from setting up 100 delegates (I realize many/most would not make it to the top 101), wait for them to become stable and accepted in the network, and sit back & watch the money coming?
Surely it cannot be that straightforward?

General Discussion / Re: BitShares 0.6.1 Feedback
« on: February 23, 2015, 12:19:48 pm »
Here's my experience with it so far:
1. Lags too much. On a VM with 1300MB RAM, running only xfce and BitShares, it'll start swapping.
2. No possibility of deleting accounts (unregistered ones - I understand the limitation/possible impossibility of removing blockchain registered accounts) - hide it under 3 red popups if you must, but please add it!3. Takes too long to start-- without any visual feedback (meanwhile, the log is getting spammed like mad).4. Logs way too much, if there is an option from the gui to minimize logging, I missed it.Other than that, it's been working fine for me so far.
Sorry about formatting, don't know what's wrong, it's mangling spacing between lines..
