It's the same thing with the NOTEs sharedrop. They paid all those transaction fees.

Wow I didnt know that.

Being able to sharedrop or pay a dividend with just 1 transaction fee should be on the roadmap for a post-2.0 feature development imo.  (If its not already in 2.0).

Agreed, the "single" transaction fee is derivative of how many transactions were applied to the system.  For instance, if I sent 9 dividends out, then the fee should show up in my transaction history as a single 0.9BTS fee = (0.1BTS/transaction)(9 dividends sent out)

Just like how Peertracks paid 1500 BTS for 15,000 transactions (at 0.1BTS per transaction)x(15,000 NOTES holders) when distributing NOTES

We can create bulk discounts by amount, for instance:

1/2 price on 10k-100k simultaneous transactions
75% off 100k-1M simultaneous transactions
>1M simultaneous transactions = regular price

This prevents spam attacks with false dividends paid to millions of accounts,

Don't force kids to click or type to peruse, or they wont spend their allowance on Muse (same "one click" to change the song if they don't like it).  Remember our audience has the attention span of a squirrel.

Lets recap - when the bts price falls you want to be long bitUSD, those who are short bitUSD need to margin up or cover at a loss.  If the BTS prices rises (say for example due to fantastic news), then bitUSD shorts laugh until bitUSD longs holding worthless bit-paper get pissed and dump their bitUSD on the market.  And if there are no buyers of bitUSD, then the shorters lose their positions one by one. 

The shorters "lose their positions" by buying the bitUSD to cover the short, ending up with more BTS than they started, and BTS has increased in price?  How is that bad?  Thats exactly what they hoped would happen in the first place.

I don't understand what you are getting at.

Yes, when the amount of BTS that you can get for selling bitUSD is decreasing rapidly (BTS price rise), the shorters will lose their short positions if there is a panic selling of bitUSD and no offers at the feed.  The shorts pick up their profit but then the BTS price continues to rise to new all time highs while they are sleeping. Then in the morning, they wake up to find the BTS price in orbit, but their short positions were called away just over the launch pad (realizing only a tiny profit).  So, there, you go Mr. Shorty, you shorted all the way down from $100,000,000 market cap purchasing BTS collateral the whole way down, and losing your ass on paper, and when the BTS price returns back up to the all time high, your short positions get called away at $25,000,000 market cap.  You wake up to see that BTS is trading at an all time high, and yet you have only realized a fraction of the profit that the bond lender, who issues the bond at the BTS low (then sold the bitUSD at today's market rate) and buys bitUSD when the BTS price returns to the all time high does.  He realizes the full profit. Then he liquidates the bond and proceeds to Barbados.  What happened shorty?  you should have bought moonswan protection for whatever the going bond rate was at the time, because only those who are bonded (insured against sudden volatile price rises that call shorts to arbitration) get to moonwalk.

I'll pay you 4% annually on your bitUSD so that I can short sell it and not have to worry about forced liquidation.

Am I making sense.  I want to go short and not have to worry about my position getting triggered while I'm on permanent vacation. I already have guaranteed risk, I want guaranteed returns, not arbitrary returns based on forced arbitration.  Until the bond market is open, however, I am fighting with other shorts to remain the most collateralized (chop chop Danny Boy).

I want to catch the next leg up in crypto, and not watch my position get called away prematurely.  What's the matter, you don't think that BitShares will ever surpass its all time high that it hit immediately following the release of its initial proof of concept?  cool, well, then go ahead and loan me your bitUSD.

Or maybe you think that when a big name company climbs aboard our smartchain, and all anyone can talk about is how much more exciting the Bitcoin2.0 space is than last year, that bitUSD holders are going to stay put in their obviously poor positions, allowing the short position days, weeks, and months to re-collateralize their position.  I'm just not that guy.

The smartcoin short rules require me to insure my position if I want guaranteed profit margins, but you can avoid the bond market and accept variable profit margins on your position.  The risk is yours to take.

don't worry man, I'll pay you 4% interest annually on your crappy bitUSD at today's prices for three years and then sell that worthless bitFIAT on the DEX (to purchase more BTS, rinse, repeat) , then buy it back on the open market 3 years later when it is worthless, and give you back your chump change. It's more of a guaranteed long term short (that can't get called in due to low collateral), so I can party for a year straight without ever feeling the itch to check the share price.  You would have to deal with any arbitration at the feed price in a liquidation sale. Sucker....

The bond market is black swan protection for the shorter like me.  The rest of the shorters will think they made money the day BTS moons, but will be in for a surprise when they open their wallets (short position liquidated)

Initially, we probably won't have enough money to fund more than one project at a time.

Another project to fund:  pay off the Moonstone fundraiser balance $110,000 and they will release the code as MIT open source.

1. Privacy



2. Bond Market



3. BTS Bathing Suits

Step 1 add the indicies for the DOW/NASDAQ/etc. components
Step 2 add the individual high volume components (APPL, GOOG, FB,AMZN,etc)
Step 3 add lower liquidity components as markets demand

Not really competition.
