Sorry, I skimmed this thread because I felt I should reply ASAP (will re-read in a bit, but I've gotta run an errand shortly so once I'm back)... let me try answering a few questions here:
What is share dropping?The act of choosing a targeted asset like BROWNIE.PTS, determining who holds this asset and their %-holding, and then distributing them a quantity based on their %-holding of some other asset.
Where do the fees come from?Right now to be safe we assume 45 BTS on every
transfer transaction. Since a share drop sends the assets directly to the share-holders BTS2.0 accounts, this is a
transfer transaction. Thus,
fee = N-holders * 45How could we reduce fees?Modifying BTS 2.0 itselfBTS 2.0 lacks batch operations right now, for example if there was a multi-transfer that let issue a person execute one command that pays to several people for a reasonable fee, this would reduce the cost. For example, lets say multitransfer required you to send funds to at least 5 people and costed 10 BTS per person (min. 50 BTS fee).
via ShareBitsSome how implement logging in with a BTS 2.0 account? If ShareBits could perform the sharedrop without sending any real block chain transactions, no fees need to be incurred. This is what
@Tuck Fheman attempted to do with his first few share drops (but they assumed your BTS account was the same as your forum account).
I suppose another way if you could associate a BTS 2.0 account with your BTS talk account on ShareBits. Which could be done in two ways, either a different memo-code would be used for this... or we make the assumption that if a person funds an account that BTS account becomes auto-associated with the account they funded (not ideal, for a variety of reasons).Edit:
Ok there's no way to word this without being confusing, so before I start when I say
BTS 2.0 account on ShareBits basically what I mean is similar to when I say your
BTS talk account on ShareBits or your Twitter account on ShareBits:
So, there would be no way to log into an authenticated session for a BTS 2.0 account on ShareBits (with Twitter there's open authentication, with BitsharesTalk there's the security code, etc. that's how you get into an authenticated session). However, what you would be able to do is
merge your BTS 2.0 account on ShareBits with (for example) your BTS talk account on ShareBits thus giving you access to your BTS 2.0 account's balances (on ShareBits).
Merging would be done by first logging into an authenticated session (i.e. say your BitsharesTalk account) on ShareBits, then going under 'Accounts' and requesting a merge to a BTS 2.0 account. The requirement for this merge is that BTS 2.0 account must have been used within your last 5 deposits to your account you're trying to merge from.
