Use of the dex spiked again, with number of orders placed hitting a new high.

Its growing guys.  Maybe not as fast as we wanted, but growing.



A rising BTS price over time will also encourage use because shorting bitassets into existence will actually make money and get rewarded. 

Also, people who are trying to use BTS will not be discouraged by the price crashing.

Yet precisely at these times, people can't transfer, can't register on OpenLedger and can't see the full display of the market pages.

yes, bugs in OL are a problem, but @bytemaster et al (sorry i don't know exactly who, else i would give them credit) are patching in some fixes over the weekend that should solve a lot of the issues.

we have plenty of great ideas for new features in this community, but i'll say this over and over, the best project we can be working at any given time is simply improving the user experience; that has to be something we're continuously funding, that we're all continuously making an effort to stress the UI and identify areas that can be improved.

it would be such a shame if we had new users interested in Bitshares come try to open an account, maybe place some trades, but ditch it altogether after a buggy experience.

I can appreciate that you as a trader would like to see resources dedicated to squeezing every last drop of performance out of the code, however if you look at the situation objectively it should be clear you have some control over your performance problem - run your own node and stop being (in your words) lazy and (my words) selfish.

if i wanted to run my own node, i'd already be doing it. i want to invest and i want to trade. We would be screwed if the only way to have a decent trading experience were to run your own node. the main point of this thread was to flag the issue to improve the user experience. thankfully, @bytemaster and his team were amazingly responsive and this issue can be put to bed. 

in case anyone's wondering why there's practically no order book in the BTC-BTS market, i haven't been able to place a single trade for the last 15 minutes; now i'm giving up for the evening and heading out. same for SILVER; i had a half dozen trades execute, but now i can't re-load new ones with these issues.

Same latency issues today. I'm having a horrible time trying to keep up with the market, adjusting open orders taking far too long per order, some of them timing out bc of the delays. We're a new technology, so i get that we'll have technical growing pains, but this really needs to be a community priority to fix.

Tried to change the Api Connection in the settings?

yes sir, that's usually the first thing i do; still, i'm thinking about the impression that'd be made on new users to the trading platform. sometimes the API swap works, other times it's still slow.

Let's hope this increased market capitalization is here to stay, if not just the start of an even bigger rise. More capital means more developers, more interested investors, more entrepreneurs to build services on top of our network...

Yea, it's pretty awesome knowing that our development growth/funding/liquidity/everything gets exponentially better with increased market cap...it's like a perpetual motion device or something. Once the cap really starts climbing I imagine it'll be like a bomb going off. An economic singularity, if you will?

I'm pumped.

 

ha! hey you never know, sometimes trends just feed on themselves and the best marketing Bitshares could ever do is simply to jump in price!

My 2 cents

Get listed on BitShares DEX:

- Migrate natively
- Get Listed as an IOU from one of our Exchange
- Get Listed as a MPA
* Create a new Asset

+ a little HowTo for the tricky part when you click on one of the list item

that'd be the best case scenario for us, but also makes a lot of sense for new altcoin ideas that would like to benefit from our network effects and superior technology..

we can certainly appeal again to Twitter to release the account for us, but it may also be worth the $3k extortion to get it out of the way sooner.
