I guess this was all bullshit then?

"CCEDK has become the first exchange in the world to make its books completely transparent – using the same public ledger philosophy that made Bitcoin so successful. 'You don’t have to worry about our exchange being hacked or whether it is honest or solvent. Everything about our new accounts will be an open book and you control the keys to your own funds, even while they are on our exchange.'"

I will also only use it if someone else use it first

Hmm, somehow I feel that is not exactly the way you create market depth, by staying away untill someone else decides to join.

You all have a decentralized platform, and market dept will appear if all start using it, but since many people still have not migrated I think it is far too early to speak about lack of support, and more a question of getting the platform fully filled with all shareholders and interested parties of BitShares.

So, for the ones reluctant to add funds untill others do, dont worry, it will happen eventually, with your help sooner than later though, and who says all your funds need to be in an exchange possible to be goxxed, when you have now one that cannot? 

OpenLedger is mant as a platform available for the entire world to use, no matter colour of skin or colour of coin, and I think personally seeing the new things added every day, that we are in for a great product increasing in value every day.

Can you just answer the OP's question?

CCEDK maintaining its own order book off the blockchain is not how you add market depth either!

The Affiliate System will be available by the end of the week.

Which week?

Precisely.

LOL!   Which summer are talking about while that we're at it?

Australian Summer obviously.

As well as being far too long, if I paste that URL on reddit to try to share how great our exchange is, it will immediately get buried as altcoin spam.

Everyone still thinks that an exchange can only be provided by a private entity, so thats what they expect to use. Like it or not, BitShares has not yet established itself as an exchange - its just an altcoin to most people. Dont believe me check out the price.

That site is provided by CCEDK, so why didnt they promote the webwallet under their own name? trade.ccedk.com / wallet.ccedk.com would have been MUCH better.

After the bond market is released and people are asking on reddit "How do I short Bitcoin?", you think Im going to paste the URL bitshares.openledger.info ? No I will get buried to oblivion. I would however paste the url trade.ccedk.com

I hope that when Banx sets up their webwallet, they wont make the same amateurish mistakes.

Perceptions matter.

I agree with everything said here. We need higher quality URLs for the referral program.

Another name that sprung to mind - Ben Mason

He is worthy of consideration not only for his solid perspective of the mission and core principles BitShares is based on, but also b/c he is cool, rational and very respectful in his interactions here in the forum.

agreed. Ben has changed my perspective on an issue numerous times, even when I'm not commenting and just reading from afar.

Really every name on this list so far has made invaluable contributions to BitShares and the community - I even feel that way about Ken, who I didn't take seriously at first but who has demonstrated impressive sweat equity - coordinating translations, offering bounties, pitching the product etc - kudos to all of you.

This poll is not really useful if it doesn't include the current fee rate. You're assuming everyone is unsatisfied with the current fees, which is not true.

I would support regional based pricing if it was possible. $0.2 for US and Western Europe is fine.

Why is a $0.20 USD transfer fee considered high? Even in developing markets, or for the unbanked, is 20 cents per transaction really a financial burden that will hinder adoption?

I also think a lower fee is not needed. Lifetime membership returns $.16 of those cents anyway.

We've had feeback from South America (ElMato) , Eastern and Southern Europe (Noisy and Liondani) and China (Alt + many many more)  saying the fee is too high for their market.

You're competing with BTC, Centralized crypto exchanges and their local banking services at the moment with a by comparison new, risky, somewhat complicated alternative.

When you have a liquid and popular derivative stock market/ Popular BitAssets with easy BitAsset to real asset crossover/third parties offering full service remittance via BTS/BitGold to real vault options etc. Then you will start to be offering products and services they are used to and willing to pay much for and also in some cases won't be able to get anywhere else. Then you can look at raising fees substantially.

Thoughtful response. Makes sense - thanks!
