Not a bad idea really:

1. Everyone here pledge some of Lisk (that we will be compensated for at the average selling price when Lisk becomes liquid).
2. Someone (call him the Orchestrator), creates a UIA from the total pool and builds a market in bitUSD like this:

1000 bitLisk at 0.10 bitUSD each
2000 bitLisk at 0.15 bitUSD each
3000 bitLisk at 0.20 bitUSD each
4000 bitLisk at 0.25 bitUSD each
etc.

This will create a buzz around the BitShares platform for the next three weeks that is worth it's weight in bitGOLD

This will make people try the BitShares wallet and experience the kickass-ness first hand.

Then when the Lisk is liquid, all of us who pledged Lisk, send them to the Orchestrator who sends the winners their Lisk as the owners of bitLisk redeem them for the real thing.  The Orchestrator sends us bitUSD (average selling price) for our Lisk.

To make this easier for the orchestrator we can make 1 bitLisk redeemable for something larger like 100 Lisk, so that there are not a million redeemers who want Lisk dust.

If we are lucky, those who buy bitLisk will try to resell it on the market before the Lisk becomes liquid, and we will have a fully functioning free market of Lisk/bitUSD that we can brag about and create buzz, and teach people about BitShares.

To compensate the Orchestrator, we can all pitch in and pay him like $xxx

I know that Ander said that he bought some, and I would pledge some.  Who else would pledge some, and who wants to be the Orchestrator (tell us your fee).

Overall, great idea.  All we have to do to teach the world about BitShares is to pool risk.

This is an effective way to leverage all the buzz created by the Lisk team before they become the world's largest DPOS cryptocurrency.  The best case scenario is that we remain the world's largest DPOS after Lisk launches.

What do you say guys?

Who's up to defend our first mover advantage?

But overall, it looks like a DPOS community helping another DPOS community, bringing buzz to us all!




TO INFINITY AND BEYONDDDDDDD BITCOINNNNNN

Not bad, a million dollar marketing campaign and the best they can come up with is the term "federated"

hmm not bad. Lets adopt it.

BitShares uses a group of "federated" miners too, just like DASH and Rootstock.

See how that works.  Linguistics are open source, so use what works. The industry is adopting standard terminology, and we need to recognize and adopt whenever possible (like now).

What makes their "federated" group more trustworthy than ours ( besides the fact that ours has a much longer history of trustworthiness)?  That's the info I'm looking for.

BitShares - Backed by a democraticly elected group of federated miners since 2014.

See, that has a nice ring to it. Thanks Rootstock!

Wow, I wonder why all the new startups are copying the BitShares "federated" miner model?

DASH Decred Rootstock Lisk
Darkcoin never had federated miners

Actually, the term is "federated servers" I believe. That's what our miners use (or will be using)  right "servers"?

So from now on, remember to always use the term "federated servers" when describing the BTS network.  It's important to be hip, if you want more dev funding.  That's the essence of marketing.

look up the wallet named "trust"

speaking of sidechains, I posted an ad for help on bitcointalk looking for people who might be able to help

Hell, I'd be happy if we could even get the same respect as the dawg

I gotta say:  FUCK the whale who sold down to 400. 

Idiot.  Even if this is a top, you couldve sold now for more.

I'll always wonder who that moron was. He single handedly triggered all my shorts to be liquidated costing me a pretty penny. By the time I woke up, the price had completely rebounded and I was completely fucked.

That's probably him right now trying to buy back in.
