Don't worry, at this very moment we have Brian Page bringing in some large "whales" from St. Marten. It's super hush hush though. Don't tell anyone.

Ugh, I hear ya. Can't believe I'd ever find myself agreeing with NewMine. It feels like things were so different a few months back. Every day was a new exciting announcement, a new window opened, a new reason to be hyped for BitShares...

Dinner in St. Martin with Kevin Harrington!
Talk of whales/strategic partnerships ready to buy in soon!
1.0 on the way!
Marketing blitz about to commence! Secret sauce was kept under wraps, but it's gonna be huge!
Possible partnership with Vitalik and Ethereum?! No way!
Infomercials!
John Underwood remittance partnership!
Vote has a super exciting secret sauce! Could we get it in the 2016 elections?!?
Referral program! Pre-paid card partnership ready to go!
Talk of a credit union! Could BTS buy one??

...then the merger happened. And all the excitement came to a grinding halt as the forum became a battle ground between PTS and BTS and every other post was about inflation, or allocation squabbles, or nubits being a Ponzi, or some company stealing our brand, etc. PR disaster after PR disaster.

I still think BTS has the best tech and the best shot at success. But damn, things have been grim lately. Apologies for the rant...

The funny thing is; only one of those things that were promised or eluded to by I3 will ever come to light at the hands and sweat of I3. 1.0, that is all. Everything else was a pie in the sky bullshit promises sold to loyal followers in order to keep toeing the line that justifies all the AGS donations.

I think the Devs should give every person who publicly thought Brian Page should be fired some of their I3 funds. 1000 each for every excuse and back they gave Brian Page in that glorious May thread. 

Link: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=4779.0  Much foot in the mouth going in that thread. Lesson: not all negativity is unwarranted or unjustified. Take the negativity and think for one second that maybe it's justified and you may end up 1 step ahead rather than exactly where you were or two steps back. Sometimes the person holding the flashlight needs it shined upon themselves in order for the others to see clearly too. It sucks having to be the voice of reason here even when I am right.

Are you going to return all your NOTES when they become liquid?? This request of yours is completely selfish and irrational. How many times do you need to be told that your donations came with no strings attached. No one owes you shit. Get over it.

I haven't sen any information on 100% delegate:   chen.haonan

who is already at position 116 (even without my vote haha).


Anybody know anything about his proposed service?

I'd like to come along to meet you all. I'm not sure yet whether or not I'll be able to make it though.

The website is sparse on information - not sure what to expect from this...
