General Discussion / Re: the spread on shapeshift is real

I just tried out Poloniex today, I feel it's quite nice, the trading engine is smoother than BTER I feel.

General Discussion / the spread on shapeshift is real
« on: February 23, 2015, 06:43:18 pm »
Shapeshifted quoted me 0.000029 on buying my BTS, and 0.000042 to sell BTS to me. Who would use shapeshift with such spread?

I hope when they open BTS withdrawal, they would remove the 1% fee.

install virtualbox, create a clean vm with windows/linux installation, then run the client and keep your wallet in the vm.
Also back it up somewhere offsite, with a USB drive or something.
As long as you exercise good judgement and not install questionable softwares, you should be fine. A private person's computer is way harder to hack than an exchange, because due to the nature of running an website, it must have open ports, hosted with a 3rd party and publish it's IP address to the world.

This is a great idea. Silkroad single-handedly made Bitcoin popular in the early days. But Bitcoin is obviously not a good choice with escrow and value fluctuation.

General Discussion / Re: Bter suspended
« on: February 15, 2015, 08:35:37 pm »If it is claimed that a 'cold wallet' has been 'hacked' then one or more of the following is true:
- It was NOT a cold wallet
- It was NOT hacked
- The 'hack' involved someone having access to 'keys' by non-internet based means
- Someone was so incredibly lucky that they managed to guess the private keys (not realistically feasible)
edit: this wasn't in response to your post @Ander.
It was a cold wallet that went hot to transfer funds to hot wallet, and the hacker was patiently waiting for this to happen. BTER had no idea their systems had been compromised and the hacker was waiting for them to bring the cold wallet online to make a transfer.

« on: February 15, 2015, 05:49:34 pm »Where did you get that?
If you read my post above you'll see there was some glitch that incorrectly credited me with BTS & BitUSD on Fri that I noticed on Sat. I doubt I was the only one and I imagine the strange dump of BTS on Bter on Fri was probably related to that glitch/hack.
It seems to me that the hacker sold any free BTS they got and ran off with the BTC. The dump was like 3 million BTS, followed by a few more 200k dumps. At most probably 5M BTS. Bter probably can cover that, or at least fulfill 95%.
Unless there is a ~50M BTS tranfer on our blockchain yesterday, the BTS should be fine, or alternately almost all of it fine.
Can anyone see a transaction like that?
How do you know the hacker got any BTS? sounds like the hacker was just targeting BTC, and waiting for BTER to make a transfer from cold wallet, and as soon as BTER did the transfer, the hacker was able to empty their cold wallet and run off. Doesn't seem the hacker got any BTS

Does Cass work full time for BitShares?
The second delegate should be run at a different location, and preferably by someone else, otherwise it defeats the idea of delegates.

General Discussion / Re: Most of 100% delegates don't provide Asset feeds - why?
« on: February 01, 2015, 04:29:10 pm »I would like to point out that a number of these 100% delegates are not so technically inclined, but were voted up for their other contributions that would be funded by their delegate position.
Of all the information regarding delegate setup etc there really isn't much regarding feeds, and it is considered an optional element because of this I think.
I think rather than singling out the 100% delegates though, if you just make the feeds part of the standard for all delegates for their setup and provide clear documentation on that portion of the process, then it should fix itself.
Jonathan
I think there are a good number of people who can assist in setting up feeds. If majority of 3% delegates can set up and pay to publish feeds, there's really no reason for 100% delegates to not do so.
