Also the discussion about the future of bitshares? I mean.... it'll keep growing. I wanted to talk about the recent fall in price.

Seems like it's partly about the chinese government cracking down on token sales... but BitShares will benefit in the long term from that surely?

I dunno... the ideal world is so far away.

wow ,new exchange.

new face, same exchange.

I agree with this. Let's do a charts worker! I love charts.

Here is a cool one:



Tether went to millions in market cap and there's really no reason why bitCNY wont do even better. BTS is going to do really well.

The "reserve pool" is the equivalent of bitcoin's 5 million unreleased bitcoin. Except, we don't have to release the full amount if the stakeholders don't want to.

Despite the huge stockpile of resources the reserve pool has, the graph says it all, that ultimately the path we're on isn't sustainable. We need to make that graph go up (or ideally stay flat, with increases going back to shareholders as dividends).

The question in my mind now is how the hell did the reserve pool get so big in the first place? There is no ramp from 0 going up? Did it start high b/c of some initial injection? Where did that come from and who provided it?

It's too easy to smart people to hear about bitshares community spending money to create a false impression and decide not to enter the community. I will not vote for this worker. Anyone is free, of course, to fake volume on the exchange but the community isn't going to pay for it.

bitshares doesn't participate in any of the bitcoin rallies, but falls when bitcoin sells off...

I'm sure there is someone here who can explain to me how bullish that is.

The answer of "The future of bitshares has never looked brighter!" is not valid anymore when describing the price of the bts token.... That saying has been regurgitated thousands of times and the price keeps falling.

Pumps keeping getting smaller...

It's good to have your voice on here, stopping this from being an entirely "bitshares future is amazing" discussion. Progress and ideas are best arrived at through some healthy contention.

Although I'm confused about your motive. Why say the future doesn't look bright? All I can think is that you want people to sell so that you can buy cheaper. Which means I should buy more.

I do understand all this, that anybody can see all blockchain, but If I could delete all data (trace) form my browser it would be more difficult to identify (only from blockchain) which account belongs to whom, right?  And if anybody takes my computer, to transfer my funds he needs  only a password.  And If my browser was clean (logeout) from my previous session - he would need to:
a) know that some coins is there and
b) have password AND
c) the back-up file.  Correct me if I am thinking i a wrong way. Thank you.

Like most bitcoin or other proper crypto wallets a bitshares wallet requires a password to decrypt the stored private keys and spend the funds. There is no "login" or "log out". If someone takes your device with the wallet on it, they only need to know the password. HAVE A STRONG PASSWORD

https://xkcd.com/936/ - on password strength

a) "know that some coins are there" - fair point, you can clear your browser history to hide the site but the wallet file is still going to be on your computer
b) "password" - This is the main point HAVE A STRONG PASSWORD
c) "backup file" - if someone takes your computer, they will have this, make a backup of your backup.

the wallet automatically times out and requires the password, or you can click the lock symbol in the top right and your wallet is secure
(HAVE A STRONG PASSWORD)

-------------------------

If you do decide to open your BitShares wallet on a friend's or public computer:

1.) DON'T

They could have spyware, keyloggers, malware to copy your wallet file or any number of other nasty things.
remember, this isn't like "signing in" to a poloniex account, to use your bitshares wallet you need to move your wallet file to the new device and restore the backup.

If you do it anyways and you want to wipe the cache and all memory of your wallet here's how:

1. Click your account name in the top right corner, click settings
2. Click "wallet"
3. Under "delete wallet" select your active wallet (probably "default")
4. Click the "delete wallet" button, click "yes, delete wallet"
5. Close the browser, open the browser to homepage (not wallet page)
6. Clear the cache (in Chrome go to:  chrome://settings/clearBrowserData      in firefox go to "history" then "clear recent history", select all the options)
7. I hope you didn't put your wallet file on the harddrive, but if you did delete it. Delete and then empty the trash/recycle bin.

Step 5 is because the account name lingers if the cache is cleared while the wallet page is still open, really the account name should disappear when the wallet is deleted. Perhaps @vikram or @Agent86 could look into this.

This community is amazing. 100% in time for christmas.
