This sounds like Ken wants to keep everything MIT licence and you don't.

Hi JonnyBitcoin,

MIT or not is not the dispute with Ken. I am supporting open source and MIT licensed projects because that will help us all to develop more crypto product and services. The blockchain community is still in its early stage and the more useful applications we can build and share the better.

BitShares Munich products have been published under MIT license so that other teams can contribute and even build their own versions with the goal to provide a larger infrastructure of BitShares and Blockchain-based tools.

smartcoins wallet and I think every other software is released under MIT, as expected, now you try to claim some IP? this is exactly what no one wants or needs in crypto, and what most of us want to avoid.

very disgusted by your actions, @Chris4210

@fav thank you for sharing your concerns.
It is not my intention to "claim some IP" and/or to close source our products. I am for open source work.

In the case of BitShares Munich we are specifically talking about that Ken did not follow common business practices and did not make proper IP transfer agreements with our developers. In the last 10 months, I reached out several times to Ken and asked him to provide the signed documents for the company. Unfortunately, I never received it.

BitShares Munich is now solving the dispute over the IP, to avoid any future claims, lawsuit or other copyright violations that may occur through providing for example white label mobile wallet solutions. Since white label mobile wallets are one of our most requested products today, the company needs to make sure it hold all the necessary rights to sell, promote and maintain white label mobile wallets for its clients.

Nothing could be worse than building a Smartcoins wallet based mobile wallet for a restaurant, gas stations or a bank only to end up in a legal lawsuit because the IP rights have not been cleared before with the developers.

With more than 10 white label clients in the pipeline, it is in the companies best interest to know what is the legal situation with their developers.

Please also keep in mind that some of our clients, who want to buy a white label wallet from us, prefer to keep their apps private and request to show them the proper IP documents.

Thank you Roelandp for this cool new tool. That will help to monitor the witness activity more accurate. It is also great to see what kind of tools can be built thanks to Xeroc´s Python-Libary! 

This report is great for us. This will help us to make better decisions and update the fee accordingly. Thank you very much.

This version of the DEX look awesome. Thank you for building it!

Hi Vikram,

thank you for the update, unfortunately these updates are not regular enough to understand what you worked on the past few days and what you would like to improve next. Regular communication to all BitShares Shareholders is very important.

Until the communication has been improved, I removed my support for this worker.

Best regards,

Christoph

Results of the BitShares Munich Testnet: https://steemit.com/bitshares/@Chris4210/1h30-min-bitshares-stress-test-of-the-15-march-2017-3300txs-14000ops

Other big thanks to all participants and especially for Xeroc and his countless hours to get a great stats page up and moderating the stress test.

I am looking forward to the next stress test soon.

Yes the goal of this stress test is max performance. After the 15th. I would like to set up the next stress test for 22th or so that we take a lesson learned and increase the performance. Goal should be way over 100k with some code optimization.

Dear BitShares Community,

I would like to invite all members to join us on Tuesday March 14th at 3 pm at the BitShares Mumble for a Stress Test Setup Workshop. This will help especially new people to join the stress test and give everybody the opportunity to participate. Here is a tutorial how to get started: https://github.com/ryanRfox/BitSharesTESTNET  . Big thanks to Fox for the tutorial!

The big live stress test will be on March 15th at 3pm UTC!

We will all meet at Mumble to coordinate the test and discuss latest adjustments.

Happy Fludding next week!!

Cheers Chris4210
