How does one get a historical wallet balance for an arbitrary time in the past?

Can any wallet or web site easily do this yet?

There is a great way for people to vote for delegates on the Bitshare block chain, including the ability to delegate their vote to others.  It seems to me that we need some way to expand this so people can vote (and delegate their vote) to arbitrary 3rd party survey / petition systems.

In other words, instead of voting your shares for a particular delegate you would vote your shares for a 3 number identifier.  The first number would identify a 3rd party, such as Canonizer.com, survey monkey, or whatever.  The second number would identify a particular survey/partition, or whatever on that sight, the 3rd number would vote for a particular position/camp/answer or whatever.

Given that, people could do things like sign their shares to support petitions to accomplish things, vote for things, you could use systems like Canonizer.com to build and measure consensus or share support for a particular change in the system, or whatever.

We are working on the designing and implementation of a system enabling BTS owners to vote their shares.  We want to do this as rapidly as possible because being able to do this is a critical prerequisite to any governance development process.  The initial design specs are being collaboratively developed in this publicly editable Google doc:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uWpw93xlJk3qwqNAaiwvMeQmXkjUt7e8rco17DOP8UA/edit?usp=sharing


As you can see, we are attempting to address a couple of design issues and need to select the best way to resolve them.

First, how will Canonizer.com verify public Keys (or Titan IDs, will using Titan IDs even be possible?) submitted by Canonizer.com users, to avoid voter fraud?  I hear this issue is already proposed, and in the system, so any detailed information along these lines would be helpful.

Next, canonizer.com currently lists all users in a camp, along with their canonized score (based on the user selected canonizer algorithm) contributing to the total canonized vote for their camp.  Obviously, if we set up a N bitshares N votes canonizer, this canonized support score will publically reveal how many shares each camp supporter has registered and verified with Canonizer.com.  While this may work for some transparent people like Brent Allsop, there is a good chance there are at least a few of you for which this will not be acceptable.  There are many ways this problem can be addressed and we have started brainstorming some of the better ideas in the design document.  We obviously could use a lot more help in this area since we want to pick a design that will do everything everyone wants.

As usual, if anyone can contribute anything to this process, anything would be appreciated.  Brent Allsop is willing to commit some capital towards this development effort.  So if anyone is willing to help with the development in any way, Brent Allsop will be able to pay you for your time in either BitUSD, Bitshares, Bitcoin, Canonizer.com coins, plain old USD, or whatever you would like.

Upwards,

How long after Ether is trading, will it be before we can purchase BTSX, with Ether, in the Bitshares client AKA vault?

I invested a good chunk of money in the Ether genesis block, just for fun, but would like to move it back to BTSX as soon as, and as easy as possible.

Don't know how to add an "other" value where people can add other suggestions, so maybe just post them to the forum?

What is the resolution of BitsharesX (how much is a Bitshare Satoshi)?

In the wallet I see 5 digits after the decimal, but in other locations I see more?

Does the wallet clip or round...?

How do you set the wallet so it will always display them all?
