Development has never been happening faster than it has these past few weeks and we have more developers coming on line in the next 3 weeks.

I would suggest that the biggest thing that slows down development early on is getting the basic framework in place and communicating the ideas.  You cannot exactly bring in the painters, electricians, roofers, and plumbers on the same day you show up to dig the foundation.   

We have been through most of the hard part and getting people up to speed while everyone lives in different places is very challenging.  We now all work in one location and it has greatly enhanced throughput. 

Just look at the github logs at the number of people and frequency of commits.
I remember the Mastercoin guys saying exactly the same stuff about three months ago. Since then, they are still incredibly slow and have underdeliver.

It's a scary thought to think that the development could be slower. The speed of development is not a source of satisfaction for me when today there is still no working product.

I stumble upon that on Reddit, it may be relevant to the discussion: http://bitcoin-betting-guide.com/james-cannings-blog/0-house-edge-provably-fair-and-trustless-gambling/

Here the two transactions:
300ac672feac193430f4a498cec3e554e33abce22dbe0be8ed1ef5bccb302234
04a8723369dfa2492ff80963e9100c73358c7bd588a5d6e2e14a4ecc03adb8f0

As you can see they are not known by the block explorer, but my wallet treat them as sent transactions (my balance is deduct). And when I go to "Transactions" in my wallet there is an interrogation point ahead of the transaction instead of a green check sign.

I do toast's way and its working. Thanks guys.

But I have another problem now. I sent two transactions while my wallet was not sync, they have not get any confirmation but they are no longer in my balance, so what should I do to get back the fund on my balance?

Make a backup of your wallet.dat.
Run protoshares-qt.exe (BitShares-PTS.exe) from command line (or shortcut) with -rescan:
Quote
protoshares-qt.exe -rescan

or if you have a latest version:

Quote
BitShares-PTS.exe -rescan
I have done this but this doesn't work. After the rescan my wallet is still the same, with the unconfirmed transactions treated as sent transactions.

It's just a fork of Monero, same final supply but more expensive right now, and less evenly distributed.

Pump & dump

Hi, since few days I have the message "no block source available" (protoshares-qt, version 0.4) and therefore the wallet doesn't download the blockchain.

Please explain me what should I do to make it works!

Is there a PTS block explorer aside coinplorer?

Yeah this is a very interesting project.

General Discussion / Crypto-hedging will be a big market.
« on: May 05, 2014, 08:20:45 pm »
There is an interesting Reddit post about Circle, a well founded start-up who looks like it will be a very serious player in the future crypto landscape: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/24s2yz/circle_offers_more_product_clues_at_the_mit/

This is relevant to Bitshares X because there are clues about their future services, rather mysterious until now. And it appears they will provide, beside easy buying and secure storage, a stability of price thanks to some sort of "dollar-denominated bitcoins".

Now I doubt they plan to make that by using directly BitUSD (their customers will want to own $-BTC, not $-BTS), but they will definitely need to use something like BitAssets in order to hedge themselves against volatility.

I stumble upon a good debunking of Rifkin's nonsense by Eric Raymond, prominent advocate of open-source, author of The Cathedral and The Bazaar:
http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=5558

[...]
The book is a blitz of trend-speak. Thomas Kuhn! The Internet of Things! 3D printing! Open source! Big data! Prosumers! But underneath the glossy surface are gaping holes in the logic. And the errors follow a tiresomely familiar pattern. What Rifkin is actually retailing, whether he consciously understands it that way or not (and he may not), is warmed-over Marxism – hostility to private property, capital, and markets perpetually seeking a rationalization. The only innovation here is that for the labor theory of value he has substituted a post-labor theory of zero value that is even more obviously wrong than Marx’s.

All the indicia of cod-Marxism are present. False identification of capitalism with vertical integration and industrial centralization: check. Attempts to gin up some sort of an opposition between voluntary but non-monetized collaboration and voluntary monetized trade: check. Valorizing nifty little local cooperatives as though they actually scaled up: check. Writing about human supercooperative behavior as though it falsifies classical and neoclassical economics: check. At times in this book it’s almost as though Rifkin is walking by a checklist of dimwitted cliches, ringing them like bells in a carillon.

General Discussion / Re: DPOS DACs as bitcoin sidechains?
« on: April 29, 2014, 09:32:41 pm »
Bitcoin doesn't support across chain Trading by the major mining pools as far as I know
Here: http://www.mail-archive.com/bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net/msg04388.html
Peter Todd says: But moving value between chains is inconvenient; right now moving value requires trusted third parties. Two-way atomic chain transfers does help here, but as recent discussions on the topic showed there's all sorts of edge cases with reorganizations that are tricky to handle; at worst they could lead to inflation

What does it means by regorganizations that are tricky to handle and that it could lead to inflation?
