Yes my balances are displaying in the CLI after running list_account_balances xxx, and there has been no balances to claim in the GUI.

I'm sorry, I don't know what would cause that. @xeroc wrote a python script to dump and import private keys. Xeroc, do you know of a reason why this would happen?

Like I've said elsewhere, this is not a bug but a "feature" of the market engine. Because there are sell orders below the narrow range of [CALL LIMIT, MARGIN CALL PRICE] the call orders will not execute. I'm showing them because I believe this behaviour is crazy and that margin called orders should be allowed to buy at a fair price, that is to say below their call limit.

If everyone who has sell orders below the call limit (in red from ~34 to 43.51637 in that picture) would now cancel their orders, the sells inside the range [CALL LIMIT, MARGIN CALL PRICE] would fill instantly, so the orders are there, it's just weird mechanics of the market engine making them not execute.

I agree it is a feature, but could it only be displayed when the orders are valid for execution? An order which cannot be executed by the market engine isn't a valid order and therefore shouldn't be displayed. At some point it may become valid, at that point it is appropriate to display it.

What's preventing market makers?

wallet api is missing some needed commands
1) cancel_order
2) get outstanding orders by account
3) get market history

I tried porting my 1.0 market maker to 2.0 but hit a wall with those commands. I didn't have time to to try a hack by searching the blockchain transactions for my ID to try to find all the transaction objects

Thanks maqifrnswa this definitely added the accounts to the accounts list but the balances didn't come over with the owner keys.

hmm, they should have come over.

In your cli_wallet, does it show the correct balance (list_account_balances ACCOUNTNAME)? You have to claim the balances first in the cli_wallet:
http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/howto-importing-wallet.html#claiming-balances

import_balance <my_account_name> ["*"] true
list_account_balances <my_account_name>
You can also check the GUI:
1) Settings -> Wallets
2) wait a few seconds and see if there is anything under "Balance Claims" in the window next to "Active Wallet"  If there is, you may just have to click on it and say you want to claim the balances.

The current rule makes the order book look silly and I think this should be changed to something like:

A margin call will occur any time the highest bid is greater than SQP and CALL PRICE is greater than SQP.

This doesn't capture the fact that the highest bid has to be lower than the call price.

I think the rule is fine, just the way the GUI displays it should be changed. Just don't show yellow orders (margin calls) unless the highest bid is less than the SQP. Then display all margin calls as an order at the SQP. That actually reflects what is happening.

Hello, I had several accounts with substantial activity. I tried to import my v1 using the web wallet but it was stuck at importing for days and never completed the import. I then tried the cli method, which worked. How can I transfer the wallet account from the cli to the web wallet? I have tried restore and import keys with no success.

I just did this recently:
1) in cli_wallet "list_my_accounts" find the "owner" key for the "name" you want. Example:
[{
    "id": "1.2.6004",
    "membership_expiration_date": "1969-12-31T23:59:59",
    "registrar": "1.2.6004",
    "referrer": "1.2.6004",
    "lifetime_referrer": "1.2.6004",
    "network_fee_percentage": 2000,
    "lifetime_referrer_fee_percentage": 8000,
    "referrer_rewards_percentage": 0,
    "name": "maqifrnswa",
    "owner": {
      "weight_threshold": 1,
      "account_auths": [],
      "key_auths": [[
          "BTSKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEY",
          1
        ]
      ],
      "address_auths": []
    },
{{{--SNIP---}}}

2) then in the cli_wallet "get_private_key BTSKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEY"
3) in the GUI go to "Settings" (the gear icon), then click on "Wallets" then click "import keys"
4) in the box, paste or type in the private key for BTSKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEYKEY and hit "done"
5) profit

two points:

I think low transfer fees will also render the referral system ineffective.   There would be very little reason to upgrade memberships and people won't be incentivized by getting a few cents trickling in each month from referrals.

and the "first one's free" salesman trick

We need a sales team, and we need to pay them. Where's the money going to come from to pay them, and what is there incentive to sign up "big" clients?

At the same time, no one will try out a superior product if cost appears to be a barrier to entry. Look at what google's doing now with google docs enterprise... they are making it free/cheap so you adopt them and don't even try microsoft.

What is unique to the BTS network? These can have high fees
1) Decentralized Market
2) Smart Coins

What is not unique to BTS? these can have low fees
1) Transfer of cryptocoins (e.g, the BTS coins themselves)

Each fee should be set based on a competitive pricing model. BTS should trade with BTC level of fees.
Market and SmartCoins should trade with polo and paypal level fees, respectively.

If network bandwidth starts limiting transactions, then fees can be made proportional to the true "network cost" (which might mean raising transaction fees). Assuming unlimited network bandwidth, fees should maximize revenue and therefore at least be competitive with competing tech.
