I think DigixDAO / DGX will be a huge thing this year, it would be smart to position bitGOLD and bitSILVER as worthy and more decentralized alternatives.

Especially once we get those pesky confidential transactions going. Before summer.

Such a shame that once again, for outside reasons, stealth ends up being delayed.

Bitshares, then, continues to be a tool of mass surveillance rather than the beacon of liberty it has the potential to be.

Any thoughts on how to clear that silly 0.04 debt also welcomed .. i sold to some lucky souls slightly above the price feed, thinking that would erase the debt (yeah, no) .. as far as I can see there's only two options, buying more or shorting more.. the next order is 50%+ away from the settlement price and shorting more seems like an awful idea

To pay your debt you need BTWTY.

What you did is borrowing BTWTY. You only needed to click on "close position" if you changed your mind.
Then you have sold the BTWTY you have borrowed. That's a different story.

You ask me for an egg, I lend it to you. Then you sell the egg. Now, in order to give me back the egg, you have to buy another one.

Same think with BTWTY, You have sold the ones lent to you by Bitshares. You have now to buy the BTWTY to repay BitShares for the ones it lent you. If you increase your debt, you're not closing your position but increasing the BTWTY borrowed to Bitshares.

The best way to do it is to observe the BTWTY and BTS market and chose the right moment to buy back the BTWTYs. If you expect the BTS price to increase with the Stealth announcement and other development, you can wait and buy you BTWTY back when BTS reach 0.02$. You will have make money (BTS) on the overall operation.

It would appear I got margin called at some point in the last 3 days. Lost about $400.

Expensive lesson.

Awesome, looking forward to the upgrade

Indeed.

So this is an obvious pre-requisite. Does anyone know of real-time redundant feeds for these?

BitShares   BitShares (BTS)   $25,529,557.34   $0.009845   2,593,060,000 BTS   $6,899,880.0000   44.86 %

Wait for it..

Right, yeah.

But my point is that it seems extremely unlikely that anyone interested in crypto (that would be by definition and until/if this sort of thing is maintream, 100% of users) would take a short position with BTWTY.

If you believe in crypto, then it seems like a wise bet to make that the top 20 of all cryptos (and a dynamically list of 20 top cryptos as that) will never devalue much against fiat.

In other words, close to zero incentive to short.
