General Discussion / Bitshares vs Bitcoin Locks
« on: March 14, 2015, 03:02:26 pm »
Hi,
One of the things that I find most attractive about bitshares is the ability to buy market pegged assets. So, silver, gold, national currency, etc. My question is: how is this any different from an end-user perspective than Coinapult-style bitcoin locks?

Also, it should be noted that Mycelium (the popular Android wallet) is working on a Coinapult locks implementation: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2yxid5/chainalasys_vs_mycelium_the_full_story/. (See the 3rd paragraph down from the top.)
