Thank you favdesu, you're doing the right thing :)

Once this is funded, you have my vote +5%

I think the marketing initiative behind this delegate is good, I think your intentions are pure, and I also think that it is reasonable that you want to spread the risk of registering a paid delegate. However, the bonus is setting a bad precedent. Giving a bonus is essentially equivalent to buying votes, directly with the shareholder subsidies that these purchased votes bring. While this particular bonus (+10%) is not very much, what is stopping others from giving +100% bonus? Or more? The more incentive people have to "invest" into a delegate, the more people will do so, and the more guaranteed votes there will be.

This is a slippery slope that we do not want to ride down.

The risk of creating a delegate is on the shoulder of the creator, however the risk of electing a paid delegate is on the shoulders of 100% of the stakeholders. Offloading the creator's risk onto a small subset of the shareholders while simultaneously offering them a bonus reward for this risk creates an imbalance of incentives, and makes the shares of every shareholder who did not "invest" in a paid delegate who was elected this way redistributed to those who did "invest".

At first glance you might think, "well, if they are not elected, then the invested shares of every delegate investor are then redistributed to the rest of the shareholders!". This is true, however since delegate investors have incentive to vote in these bonus-giving delegates, as well as lobby for their election; they have "guaranteed votes".

Consider this post as an immune system reaction. Set a precedent and remove the bonus.

I think it will be easier to make feature suggestions once you have something released.

General Discussion / Re: Bytemaster and Mumble - A Proposed Solution

Haven't read the whole thread, but anyone can trivially record mumble sessions without using the built-in function. There is going to be no way to stop people from recording.

My guess is that somebody accidentally posted a private key, and a mod freaked out.

Edit: Or maybe I'm being to optimistic... I hope they didn't sensor it because it wasn't 'good for PR'. That would not be cool.

360p isn't enough these days

+5% Maybe just an encoding error? I'm pretty sure you had better quality in previous videos.

Too soon.

I like this idea because it more closely resembles having an application-based wallet, and the precautions you must take for security are similar.

What do you guys think? Can somebody comment on the security difference between this and what we have now and/or have planned?

transfer BTS with local wallet to bitsharegame

Is it 'bitsharegame' or 'bitsharesgame'? In any case, I would change it from this as you don't want people accidentally sending to the wrong one.

Do be careful when using the word 'Exchange'.  You may like to check with the local regulator if a license is needed.

I don't think we need to worry, as long as we avoid "Stock Exchange".

tx fee is necessary

Imagine you rent out an apartment with heat, hot water, and electricity included in the monthly rent. You then complain that it is necessary that you pay for these things in addition to your rent, as the rent should not include them.

178
I'm having trouble understanding the logic here.

About the no tx fees, one other point is that stakeholders are diluting 130k bitshares per month for Yunbi. while Yunbi exchange collects no order tx fees. this does not give a good impression. the dilution is not meant to subsidize exchange fees for yunbi to attract users and have misleading volume statistics.

So, you would rather Yunbi take more of your money, because the money they are already taking from you isn't for trading on their site? That doesn't make any sense. Why can't we be glad they are offering free trades? If they had delegate pay AND were making more money on the side, this would be satisfactory behavior, but the fact that they dropped the fee should be seen as a bonus.

General Discussion / Delegate Pay and 'Type 2' workers
« on: February 26, 2015, 09:36:13 pm »

"The overlooked detail is that not all sweat creates equal value. Type 2 worker was willing to break some rules, becoming an outcast and going hungry for an indeterminate period of time to create an automated stream of wealth for the village. Worker 1 expects to "get paid" this value by performing "skills" or "tasks". The basis of this line of reasoning doesn't yield the desired results. The key difference is risk taking with no guarantees.

Arguably almost all of the pioneers of the village itself (in this case Google) were Type 2 workers who held their thirst for years before establishing the stream of billions of dollars."

To all 100% delegates out there-- Hold your thirst, the wealth stream is coming soon :)
