I use my Bitshares wallet pretty much every day and think the platform is great. There are still some features i would like to see implemented but these are mostly cosmetic and non structural.

Your BTS chart reflect a little known social contract that has been embedded into Bitshares for the last 2 years. good news is it is only weeks away for being fully paid off.

I do believe that we need to do better in ensuring our governance mechanism is functioning properly but most of the momentum we had going was hammered down by the anti-dilution crowd. i am seeing a change in ownerships that actually allows us to have workers approved and hoping that given the economic changes that we will see throughout the next month that it will help the A.D crowd to see the brighter side of employing people (via worker proposals) to work on the chain. if you are not familiar with the changes that i am referring to (not sure that you are otherwise i think you would have a more positive tone) the vesting shares of AGS and PTS holders will be fully matured on the 5th of November!! the shares that this group had vested over a 2 year period equated to 20% of the total Bitshares ecosystem and majority were held by PTS mining pools.

This is awesome news as it effectively reduces selling pressure from 8.5% p/a to 1.5% p/a and even if we spent the maximum allowed from the reserve pool on employing people to work on Bitshares it would max out at 4.35% p/a that is still almost 1/2 of the previous pressure we have seen in the last two years and we would have active development on the chain. The simple fact of using this governance model to employee workers is a massive feature in itself; over the last few months i have seen Dash being praised over its unique governance model!!; it is not unique at all its just that we have not been using our correctly and as such are mission out on the glory.

As i said with the massive reduction / mega halving of BTS being released to the chain i hope that we as a community can see the benefit of accepting reasonable worker proposals for the double benefit of getting work done and letting one of our key strengths shine and hopefully while we are doing this we can watch the price of our shares increase and start tracking back towards real world value.

We have a great platform, it is fast, massively scaleable, built from a common platform that allows synergies between other projects, supports stable currencies that work, UIA for supporting business use cases, prediction markets and governance.

Bitshares is not dead, it will grow and if you understand the details you would see the forest for the trees. now is probably one of the best times ever to be able to own Bitshares.

Remember Remember the 5th of November

If you are in the mindset of not approving worker proposals as you want to see the price of your asset grow please consider the harm that action has caused already and given the changing ecosystem consider approving reasonable workers to show off and grow the network and your investment.

Issue has been solved and funds have been credited to my account. 

for anyone interested; as stated in the instruction use your email address in the memo... duh... i noticed what i thought was a payment id embedded in the 'deposit' link at the bottom of the page and opted for that instead of an email which is what caused my delay.

All good now, thanks for the quick response.

Nice; what currency do people who have qualified cash outs receive?

Sorry if this has been mentioned before; i did not trawl through the 34 pages prior to making this post. (i just noticed it was also mentioned by @hammurabi a few posts back)

I am always confused by the toggle buttons within the asset creation menus...  i always finding myself going back to the market fee toggle button or the smart coin toggle button to confirm which is on and off; i do this because these are the only button with visual feedback that i can tell when it is enabled/on and disabled/off.

Given they are simple binary option i think it would be better served with a checkbox or some other button type that is more recognisable which toggle is on and which toggle is off.

i think this simple change would help the intuitiveness of that interface.

Hi All, sorry for the click bait; but wanted to get your attention.

If anyone has an LTB (LetsTalkBitcoin) account; i would appreciate an upvote on my comment and/or if you could add your own comment; relating to Bitshares worker proposals which Amanda sadly neglected mention after doing such a great job conveying the importance of governance models (in Dash); suggesting that Dash's worker proposal/ Budget items and voting mechanism is the first and only (loosely conveyed) self sustaining blockchain that can pay for its own development and project from the protocol level.

both Dash and Bitshares voting/worker systems were developed at the same time, weather Dash or Bitshares was first i do not care about, but i would like it known that we also have a system of governance that allows shareholders freedom to vote on a larger number of items.... try voting out a Dash masternode when they turn bad...

Thanks for your support.

How awesome would that be

Also Fiat Pegs backed by Bitshares...

Maybe we have to wait until the Coinsbank party to find out - https://coinsbank.com/party

 

Hi mate; great to hear you got it sorted out;

The lite wallets and the web wallets run the same code base so the interface will look exactly the same; i only prefer the lite client as i like the separation of my wallet and my web browser.

One downside i see to the web browser comparatively is that your keys are stored in encrypted from within your browser cache; it is ok from a security point of view (you should use a good password) but if you clear your browser cache you will also clear your keystore and then will need to restore from your backup file (.bin); this is fine and it is easy enough to do but it is for that reason i prefer the lite wallet as it means i am free to clear my browser cache without being concerned about restoring my keystore from backup.

In regards to your MAID i would suggest storing it on paper if you are looking to keep it offline for long term sake; this offers you more protection because it is physically stored offline; so it is safe from hackers getting on to your computer but not from thieves... but in the same light you computer is vulnerable to hackers and thieve so i would think paper is a better option.

In regards to SYS, OpenLedger only supports some coins similar to how not all coins on bittrex are supported on Polo; so if it is not on the list it is currently not supported and therefore not able to be transferred to the Bitshares network.
