General Discussion / Re: Is it like you don't care about PTS?
« on: January 14, 2014, 06:34:25 pm »
So let see :

-3I it is a 2 month old company,and  in those two months they manage to crowdfound  more than a million dollar and they will have more then 2  millions by the end of the third month . For that matter how's your start-up compare ? Or any start-up  in this short time frame?
-they have a full team working on Keyhotee around the clock and they delivered the first alpha version. Read the last newsletter, they explained why the delay for keyhotee, in fact they  addressee all your concerns that you raise here.
-finding new good developers, as you should know, is not easy, finding new developers familiar with cryptoworld is even harder. Bounties it is a way to find those rare developers and to attract that talent make those bounty worthwhile I remember when they announce that they have a team working around the clock for keyhotee, some complained that this is not the right approach and bounty should be the way to do it etc. Well, I guess they have them both now. But I guess this is not good enough either ....

You make some good points tough  :

-I agree some of the bounties they are more efficient done by hiring professionals like for the website. In my opinion the website should be one of the top priorities right know, and should have been done by know.
-Marketing until now not the best thing !!( but I have fate on Brian  )
-"How about you leave the forum to your great batch of moderators and go ahead with things that actually require your attention?" I thing although bytemaster presence is essential on the forum,  I think now there are enough people that could moderate and answer most parts. He already started doing that.
-Most of you concerns are addressed in the forum, but not everybody has the time to look this is very true and this must be improved. The newsletter is not enough, some kind of global news once a week will clarify things for everybody. 

Yeah sure there are things that should and must be improved but let's be objective here. Blaming it the easiest thing to do.

Domsch,

This seems to be your second proposal to Invictus; this being the first: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1578.0

I personally applaud your spirit and creativity, but if the first proposal was to create an innovative and comprehensive marketing ideology that encompasses many aspects and would probably warrant a complete team to execute, how then one month later are you prepared to launch this much different venture that in essence is about a 180 degree difference in its nature (marketing to legal/regulatory)?

Are you still working on the marketing plan from the link above? Do you have a separate team dedicated to it?

Can you provide any evidence to your success in the areas of marketing and/or legal regulatory compliance?

Hey Brian,

Do you have any more details regarding Invictus' participation in the conference and your event on the Saturday? Is Dan an official speaker, if so, when is he speaking? As I do not see him listed here: http://btcmiami.com/

I am considering booking a flight, but my primary interest is meeting up with Invictus, so any further info you have would be appreciated and help to make my decision.

Thanks

BitShares AGS / Re: Should 3i stop BTC investment of AngelShares?
« on: January 11, 2014, 12:30:09 pm »
Average daily donations BTC: 48.68
Average daily donations PTS: 2,740.2

48.68 / 2740   =>  .0177

Current PTS Price =>  .0175  (coinmarketcap)

Isn't it funny how efficient the market is?   The only thing stopping BTC donations would do is force us to sell PTS for BTC in the market to pay our bills.  Either way Invictus will end up with BTC and the PTS price will be suppressed.   Except with AGS the process of converting between BTC and PTS is distributed and done in a way that is far more effecient than if Invictus was attempting to raise 500 BTC selling PTS on Bter or Cryptsy.   It is also far more efficient for those who want to invest to send us BTC directly than to jump through hoops on Bter or Cryptsy paying their fees.

Changing the rules would hurt PTS far more than keeping things how they are and how things are is BETTER than if we never took BTC for AGS.    There is a method to our madness.

Your calculation above is a bit cheeky. You compare the average AGS-implied PTS price of the last 10 days with the current price of PTS.
The average PTS price was more like 0.022 BTC which is about 25 % (0.022/0.0177) higher. Clearly selling PTS to donate BTC for AGS is the main reason for the PTS price decline since New Year.
Changing the scheme halfway through though is definitely the wrong thing to do.
One thing III could do instead is denominate more bounties in BTC and not in PTS. I guess many bounty-hunters would sell their PTS for BTC right away depressing the price even more. Since we all believe PTS is undervalued long term this is also in the interest of maximising the value of the Angel Fund.

Here is my take:

"Bitshares: the digital standard for assets and equities." or even simpler "Bitshares: the digital standard of value exchange."

From merriam webster:

Standard:
3
:  something established by authority, custom, or general consent as a model or example
4
:  something set up and established by authority as a rule for the measure of quantity, weight, extent, value, or quality
5
b :  the basis of value in a monetary system <the gold standard>

Agreed 100%. I really, really do not want to skim past Memory Coin posts anymore. The problem is when you use "Show unread posts since last visit." It is a useful tool, but it is inundated with Memory Coin posts that really are putting a negative vibe in this forum.

Bytemaster claimed in another thread the option of filtering them out, but I can't seem to find it.

It's in your account setting
profile > account settings > modify profile > ignore boards option

but also +1 to the OP

Thank you!

Suggestion would be to remove Memory Coin from the forum. I use "Show unread posts since last visit", and most the time the majority of posts are about Memory Coin, which I am not interested in reading. Also, for any newcomer it would absolutely seem like MMC was an Invictus product as it is so prevalent in the forum.

Keyhotee / Re: Block Chain Absolute Surveillance? "Mark of the Beast"?
« on: January 04, 2014, 08:46:52 pm »
First of all, thanks for this highly needed philosophical sit-down.

A long long long time ago I wrote a paper on the politics of a community driven MMO game. You'd have several game servers with different rules and policies and the total control of each one of them residing in the hands of one single person (commonly referred to as a god). I identified an interesting dynamic: although the god in the virtual environment had total control over every single aspect in virtual life, they had no incentive to abuse this. If the abuse would outweigh the server's benefit people would move to a server with a more benevolent god. Leaving the abusive god with an empire of dirt. A server being all abandonware, open source and running on a Pentium I, the successful servers thus had an an omnipotent yet benevolent tyrant.

So to arrive at the discussion at hand:

The blockchain does indeed offer a model of total surveillance if correctly implemented into a society. The concept of the blockchain is however, by definition, open source and community driven. Abuse of a blockchain would therefore prompt the community to make up a new blockchain and a government that would try to impose a malevolent version onto an unwilling population would soon find itself emperor of the aforementioned dirt empire. The power of the blockchain ultimately resides with the people. The abusive government would stand and fall by the veto of the network. Any attempt at centralization would spark a decentralized alternative, and put the power right back where it belongs.

We should not be afraid and not be hiding in the ever diminishing illusion of anonymity. We should stand up and realize we wield the power that can force our tyrants to be benevolent.

Your ID is then no longer a mark of the beast, but a mark of liberation.


Nice post. I think we are all tired of feeling paranoid, so let's use these new tools to their full potential in order create the environment that we want to live and do business in. I agree that since Bitcoin has already laid the foundation, and if it or any other blockchain gets too corrupt, moving off of it and creating better alternatives should be relatively easier and more accessible as we progress.

BitShares AGS / Re: [AGS] Angelshares day 1 statistics.

Is this information accurate: http://angelshares.info/beta/

It does not seem consistent with the results in the first post here, or am I missing something?

Nice arguments and strategies Dom. Enjoying this thread.

Bytemaster,

I am sure that you realize this, but be very wary of people demanding marketing at this point. Stay the course and focus on the fundamentals.
