Hi guys,

I did ultimately find a comparison table on this forum outlining some of the differences among BTS and other cryptos, but I came across it only by chance and can't seem to find it now that I'm looking for it again.

This is just a thought, but perhaps the community could put that comparison table, if not an even more definitive or comprehensive comparison (video?) and put it somewhere where it'll be right smack 'in their face' when people come to the forum so they can readily see a link to go to for review.

From what I've been studying and researching, BitShares is most certainly in a league of its own (that's why I'm here and invested in it) and with sooo many new crypto-currencies (and decentralized "financial ecosystems", etc. i.e. NXT...?) vying for attention from the world, I think it would serve our community (and efforts) well for any and all newcomers to have clear-cut, easy-to-find, 'in-your-face'  access to the information that will quickly help show them the differences and benefits of BTS compared with all the others popping up out there on the crypto-scene. (Not unlike the excellent newcomer "Video Tutorials", bam! right there, at the top of the list.)

We (BTS) not only needs to be 'different', 'better', than all the others out there, but we need to be able to quickly and easily get that information/understanding into any and all newcomer's hands.   

It's a confusing new world out there for most people and the quicker and more efficiently we can "bring them up to speed", reducing their research time, confusion, and uncertainties, the better for everyone. After a long, hard day at work, etc. most people, regardless of their interest and enthusiasm, have limited time and energy to go on a long-and-wide information hunting excursion to find answers to some of the more fundamental questions they'll likely have in trying to decide what BTS is, how it differs from other potential cryptos and competitors (NXT?), etc. ( A big, bold, smack-in-your-face link: "HOW BTS IS DIFFERENT (& BETTER) THAN ALL THE REST")

I think the quicker (easier to find) we can get the basics answered for newcomers, the quicker they'll dig deeper into it all and feel more inspired, comfortable, and enthusiastic jumping on-board.

Anyway, just a thought. A consideration.

(Damn, I wish I had bookmarked that page with the comparison table already put together, because now I'm hunting again myself to track it back down.. It's a very helpful and useful comparison table, but it might go a little farther/deeper in its comparisons/differences with something like NXT, but, - where the hell was it again....? )

 Peace.

Hi guys,

Okay, what numb-nut newbie oversight might I be making here - I have no audio coming through with any of the videos I've tried to watch so far (5 videos so far with no audio coming through).

I've checked everything I can think of on my end, volume level settings, sound system is powered ON (duh), etc. and all is good.
I have no problem hearing audio through my system when I play a Youtube video, music through my Winamp player, etc. I'm just not getting any audio coming through with these Video Tutorials.

Can anyone offer any suggestions of what else I should check?

Thanks for your help.

This is the most important talk I have ever heard for comprehending fraud within the global financial system(s). Caveat emptor!

Thanks for the post. The rabbit hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper.... But hey, stick with the mainstream presstitutes and their disinformation and we can wallow in ignorance, peace, and bliss, right?!  (I need emoticon to display my 'sarcasm' with that statement.)

Hello,

I've been researching and bringing myself up to speed on the BitShares concepts/platform, etc.

Can anyone tell me or point me to any information that provides a simple, succinct comparison that will help me understand the differences between the BitShares DAC exchange and these other "Distributed/Decentralized Crypto-Asset Exchanges"?

Along the same lines, can anyone explain or point me to any straightforward and succinct documentation/information regarding:

a) When someone purchases "bitshares" (not BitAssets, but the bitshares used to purchase the BitAssets) with their BTC on one of the BTC exchanges, where do the BTCs go? Whose pockets do the BTCs end up in?

b) Is there a cap on the number of bitshares that will/can be generated? i.e. Does the share dilution ever decline or just increase indefinitely?

I've been reading and watching a lot of information about BitShares, I apologize if I've missed (or not understood) the answers to my questions while going through all the info I've gone through so far.

I thought perhaps just asking these questions pointblank on the BitShares forum might get me to some answers more efficiently and quickly. 

Thanks in advance for your help and clarifications.

Hello,

I'm just starting to get on-board with BitShares and I would like to reset my BTS Client password (for security/confidence sake), but the File/Change-Password menu option is grayed out and not selectable.

I went so far as to uninstall and reinstall the BTS Client hoping it would give me the option to recreate my wallet/password, but after re-installing the BTS Client (as I feared), it simply reverted back to the previous account/credentials.

I registered my BTS account, hoping perhaps I might then be provided an un-grayed-out change-password menu option I could use, but it's still grayed-out and not selectable.

? Is the change-password file-menu option grayed-out for everyone, i.e. this just how it is for whatever reason for the time being?

? Am I overlooking or missing something?

Thanks in advance for anyone's clarification on this.
