@xeroc @svk, so I tested by creating a new wallet with a random 5000 char password, entering the password initially at the wallet creation screen goes as expected, but the moment I try to unlock the wallet and paste the giant password, same symptoms as before.

This leads me to believe it is a recently introduced bug. Can you guys reproduce?

Yes, I have always thought that the basic ETFs (SP500, NASDAQ, NYSE, etc) should be available in Bitshares .. I'm willing to write some articles on this alternative way to get in on ETF investing.

One concern is, are there legit real-time price feeds for these? iirc most/all that was available some time ago was delayed by 10 or 15 mins .. could be wrong.

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.

Yeah that's what I realized after the fact, now the only choices appear to be piling debt on top of debt or buying at an absurd price.

Well done karnalius!

This is the light client, @xeroc.

Perhaps relevant is the fact that the password is 4000+ characters - but it wasn't an issue until upgrading to the latest version.

I wouldn't say that a MPA fits for STOCK .. much nicer would be if companies were listed directly on BitShares

How would that look like?

Something dramatic appears to have changed in recent versions (my previous software version was from a few months ago), I use a randomly generated password for the wallet, and now when pasting it into the UI, when attempting to unlock the wallet, the program freezes for 1-2 minutes, while cpu% goes through the roof.

Eventually it will paste, and unlocking will work. But it was not like this in previous versions.

Any idea why, @svk @xeroc ?

This is the GNU/Linux (latest) version of the wallet, btw.

Stoked to see that Bit20 is now (for awhile) available on the DEX.

Yesterday I was reading more about it and poking around, and here are my observations.. your comment is welcomed.

- There is no vertical "Settlement Price" on any BTWTY market I bothered to check, except for :BTS ..  seeing as BTS is itself part of the basket, would it not make more sense for the primary (more advertised) markets to be USD and CNY ? And either way, the price feed should work for all of them.

- The concept is cool, but here's something I've been having trouble understanding: Who in their right mind would short BITWY into existence? (well, I did, and now owe 0.04 due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the dex mechanics)

- Related to the above, and assuming one is in the camp that believes bit20 is headed for an extragalactic moon, why isn't everyone shorting USD and using it to buy BTWTY?


And small suggestion to whom it may concern, there is a valid TLS certificate at bittwenty.com, but by default the browser isn't instructed to use the secure version. Easy fix, such privacy.

I'd like to write some articles on steemit about all of this and how financial privacy matters, but I don't want people to come and check Bitshares out only to realize that confidentiality is still a year away.

Hey, nice to see you here.
Is there any chance that we can read summary of your survey? YES/NO
Still have that in mind. I realize that participation was probably to low but some of us answered bunch of questions.

I can probably dig up the results if people find it relevant enough.

Participation was <100.
