General Discussion / How "Free transactions" feature have to be promoted - VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!
« on: March 02, 2016, 10:06:23 pm »
We are all very excited about upcoming future.

What Bytemaster describe in his blogpost - How to build a Decentralized Application without Fees should be soon delivered. Thanks to @abit work, most of implementation is already done. He already created a Pull Request - https://github.com/cryptonomex/graphene/issues/603

And... in the title of this Pull Request we have an answer to question asked in the title:

New feature should be called:

Rate limited free transactions

Why this is important? Because... term "Free transactions" is too wide... and this is not exactly what we are going to deliver. There are some requirements which need to be fulfilled to have a possibility of making a free transactions. Do you see a difference?

Of course we cannot use term:

Free Transaction*
* - if you have proper amount of money on your account.

We should not over promise, and deliver exactly what we are going to say.

Do you know why this is also important? Because I have already find out, that when people first hear about "bitshares are going to have free transactions".. they react in two ways:

- They think, that this is not possible... because they know the reality. So they think that in that case bitshares is a SCAM or Ponzi
- They believe... they are making big plans... to figure out later... that there is a catch, and they end up with disappointment.

"Rate limited free transactions" is simple term, easy to understand. We should be allergic to all simplifications, and every time when someone will use that term... we should educate them.

At the end of the day, for most users (but not all) will not have any fees at all, so they will still have very good opinion about that feature, but we cannot afford more overpromissed marketing campaigns.

Your posts are losing value if you continue not expressing what you actual want to say!

Correct.

So... from what I have understand, you would like to have a twitter a'like service build on top of cryptofresh.com/posts?

I agree, that this is a good idea. I talked about that few days ago with @roadscape.

In my opinion, having free transactions implemented, we can easily implement blockchain based version of trollbox :)

Is there any other services which could be implemented based on that model? Sure! But I think, most of them would beed a free transaction already in place ;) Fortunately, graphene is under MIT licence now... so everything can be implemented :)

Do we have any sketches of possible placement and look of trollbox in current design of GUI? (CC: @svk) ?

General Discussion / Re: The Bitshares blockchain as the first public sidechain for Bitcoin

For reference: (with that link I will have less work next time, when I will need to find something what was already discussed about that topic)

This topic was already touched on the forum, however earlier we were not sure is it possible to do this:
- Is it possible for bitshares to become a sidechain of bitcoin?
- Graphene: Data security and verification on the chain

and we also got interesting input from Eric Martindale from Blockstream

Hey guys, Eric Martindale with Blockstream here.  The answer to your question is absolutely, yes!  It is definitely possible, and it would be very exciting to see BitShares as a sidechain.  If I recall correctly, there are many other related projects that would make equal sense as sidechains, too.

However, choosing to migrate from the existing model to a bonded sidechain is a different question.  While sidechains already exist in the wild (see the alpha sidechain if you're looking for something to prototype on top of), creating and configuring one isn't trivial (yet).  As part of the Elements Project, we're hoping to make this easier, but migrating any existing project to a sidechain will incur some amount of technical work.  In the case of BitShares, I would expect it to be significant – you'll want to make sure the benefits are worth the effort.

I'd be excited to have a conversation with Daniel or someone else from the BitShares team if they express any interest at all in pursuing this idea.  Obviously, I'm excited about it, because I think there is very clear value in doing so, but I'd want to make sure that sentiment is shared among those responsible for BitShares.

I, for one, think a world full of many interoperable blockchains is an exciting one!

Sidechains were also discussed during one of hangout with bytemaster. Could anyone help me find a link?

I said it before and I will say it again, sidechain should be our top priority! :)

Quote from: JonnyBitcoin on March 02, 2016, 12:09:18 pm
...
But to make sure almost all SIDEBTC is redeemed in the future we should make the collateral requirements for BITBTC higher than 100%
For example we could require 110% SIDEBTC in collateral to create 100% BITBTC
...

I am wondering how can we actually avoid requirenments for those additionall 10% of collateral.

Imagine that I have 1 SIDEBTC used as collateral to create exactly 1 bitBTC.


When I sell 0.8 bitBTC I need to:
- provide a public key, which wll be used to generate new multisig address
- sign 2 multisig transactions:
  - with 0.8 bitBTC, from my address A to new owner
  - with "0.2 bitBTC - bitcoin fee", from my address A to my new multisig address B

In that case I will have to prove that I have an access to my own bitcoins every time when I want to take something from my original collateral.

The downside: I am not sure... but is that will mean, that I will have to wait on average 10 minutes to fullfil an BTC order on the DEX?

BTW this crypto coins overview site count developers activity such as stars, etc: https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/bitshares

Exactly. However I have just noticed, that they have wrong numbers, and not updated information... so I sent them this email:

@roadscape: Did you were aware of that fact? If yes, could you double check that right now your API(?) provides proper information?

I am Mad that Coinmarketcap did not accurately reflect the volume for those assets like I thought it was going to.

This should be converted into Action Point:
AP: Send a information to CMC and ask for adding new pairs. Make sure that they received that message. It would be great to get an ETA from them.

I have already tweeted them. Someone else (I don't remember who), send them a request through their official form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1IZf5cBivam_93zENT_arFFuvWDidHGjWxoTMVmFSoWg/viewform

But we should make sure, that they started working on this.

I send them one another request:

Could you also change a little bit title of this thread, to be more descriptive? This will help find this thread in the future if this will be needed.

General Discussion / 1st Liquidity Event - Retrospection Thread.
« on: March 02, 2016, 02:02:43 am »
On Feb 29th the first Bithsares Liquidity Event took place.

I decided to create that thread, because I am an enthusiast of Agile Development what means... that I prefer develop things in small steps, next gather feedback to perform better in next iteration.

Personally I think, that 1st Liquidity Event can be considered as Minimum Viable Product which proved that we as a community can organize such things.

In the other hand, this event for sure was not perfect. We should think about what went wrong... and what went well.

That's why am asking you for feedback. Let's use a "MADs, SADs, GLADs" convention:



The goal of this thread is to define Action Points (AP) which will be applied in next iterations... in 2nd, 3rd, etc. Liquidity Events.

So... let me start:

I am GLAD that whole event was not a total failure :P
I am GLAD that many people participated in that event
I am GLAD that LE was unexpectedly amazingly promoted via TheDailyDecrypt (LE was mentioned in 5 episodes - details) - Thank you Amanda @TheDailyDecrypt
I am GLAD that there are people who cares about future of bitshares like @onceuponatime and @ccedk who funded 4 weeks of TheDailyDecrypt sponsorship from own pocket, and @JonnyBitcoin who helped coordinate that
I am GLAD that we still have liquidity on https://bitshares.openledger.info/#/market/BTC_USD !!! :)

I am SAD that so little people twitted about LE, or upvoted an information about LE on https://www.reddit.com/r/bitshares/
I am SAD that I was forced to prepare LE poster by myself... because no one prepared anything before scheduled deadline (14 Feb)... even despite the fact that I have planned to donate 5000 BTS for that, plus @onceuponatime wanted donate 4000 BTS. To be honest... I am still in shock that no one decide send anything.
I am SAD that I was confused... because on 21 Feb (after deadline, and after my poster was already send to Amanda) @cass also prepared amazing graphics. However because that was already after scheduled deadline and because I already prepared and publish myself, I didn't sent him anything. I have now some mixed feelings :(
I am SAD that I didn't know where else we should send information about LE (I had a problem to find a proper list of blogs and contacts to authors)

I am MAD at myself... because I should be better prepared from technical point of view for hangout which took place on 02-19... because when people asked about Liquidity Event details, then I started talking... and then... I lost my Internet connection (facepalm)... BTW... I realised that after... 3-4 minutes of my monolog :D
I am MAD at myself... because I had a plan to prepare some kind of instruction for newbies how to trade or borrow BTC/USD. I have started working on this... but I started too late, and I realised that I will not be able to finish that on time. It would be better if I just prepared some text instruction at least.

My thoughs and proposition of Action Points:

- Sponsorship of DailyDecrypt or similar media should not be made from private pockets. We have mechanism of worker proposals for that. And it would be great to have some kind of similar exposure to any media during next LE. Should we always ask onceuponatime or ccedk for money? No!

AP: for next LE prepare a Worker Proposal, to ask for some small amount of money for promotion.
- Who can take care about that next time? Personally I don't know how to create such worker proposal.

AP: Prepare text or video tutorial for newbies how to participate in next event
- this same here... any volunteer?

AP: We should collaborate and create list of email addresses to various authors of blogs, to which we could send some brief information with small media pack (posters, logos, etc)
- I guess.. this list should not be public, because then it will become a spam list. Any idea how we could prepare that?

I believe this is very unintuitive so far.

AGREE.

This is very powerful, but also potentially very dangerous feature.
If we do not want to loose users because of their mistakes... and our bad design, we should improve User Experience of this feature first!

Done.

How does it help?

This is the matter of reputation. It is much easier to attract attention of open-source developer when your project is considered as important and innovative. In my opinion, a lot of stars do not help much... but lack of them is very suspicious.

I know that this may seem to be silly, but a lot of developers care about reputation of project to which they want to contribute
