You can place market orders and limit orders, and they get automatically matched. Try it, it is easy.

thanks for your responsiveness.

bitUSD == USD (Just different ways of referring to it).

Open.USD is real FIAT USD deposited into OpenLedger's bank & issued to the user in return. bitUSD have 2 times the amount of collateral than Open.USD & the collateral is provable on the blockchain.

Thanks @Customminer, sounds quite clear now. Indeed, why not having several version of USD on Bitshares blockchain.
On OpenLedger, there are actually 3 types of dollars, including USDT, which I guess is USD Tether.

I have these questions too, specifically:

1) if both these currencies are 100% (or more) backed but currency, why does open.BTC trade at .9 to bitBTC?  Does that mean if I wanted to withdraw using open ledger I would loose 10% of the value of my currency?

2) conversely if I transfer BTC into bitShares through openledger would it be theoretically worth 10% more than its value in bitBTC, but with no way to withdraw?

Clarification on the price variance of these pegged currencies would be helpful since they seem to vary significantly from each other.  I'm sure I'm just missing some important detail

Thanks.

I have been looking at the bitUSD/open.USD market, and there is actually some activity. The volume is quite low, but the price is stable around 1 to 1.
@benbogart, I see as well the market open.BTC/bitBTC. I don't understand either the 10% difference. If someone can explain.

If there is a big difference in price between bitBTC/open.USD and bitBTC/bitUSD, then there is an opportunity to make an arbitrage between the two market, using the USD/open.USD market. There might be many opportunities to make arbitrage between markets, and that would actually bring liquidity everywhere. Has someone already worked on that?

That's correct, there would be a GUI, and anyway some components on a centralized server. Votes can also be integrated on a centralized server, I was just wondering if it was already available in bitshares.
So yes, it sounds indeed feasible to register the votes of token holders directly on my side, but that would be ugly and centralized

Thanks to you Ravid and xeroc for your support.

Well, you said that people will vote on stuff related to your company. I am pretty sure the stuff to be voted on will not be shown in the Bitshares wallet as it has nothing to do with its network. So you'll need a centralized voting hub anyway and it will do the weighting and calculations.

On the other hand, if you are an established company with a budget, you could hire a developer that could implement the voting with your company token on Bitshares. Some kind of flag would have to be added to the workers/improvement proposals/your stuff so that Bitshares-related proposals wouldn't show at your hub and yours on ours.

Bitshares devs are pretty busy as they are, so you'll need to hire your own and get him working with our guys

Well, thanks for all these very helpful things.
Indeed, enhancing bitshares to propose such a mechanism would be, in my opinion, a great new feature for bitshares, and indeed, the best is about bringing new people to implement it.
I'm currently working on designing a project and gathering people for this project. Will consider assigning dev to that, if the community likes the idea.

Same thing happened to me yesterday/today.

I tried endless "resending" of the activation email.
My guess is that the domain is blacklisted somewhere.

I wrote a PM to fav, but no anwser so far

I thought FollowMyVote wanted to do exactly that with their stake-weighted "thing" .. don't know how that projects went/goes

Thanks for the reference. The project looks serious, Github available, very rich website, but indeed, looks like it hasn't been much forward since a year.
Hopefully, EOS will provide a way of creating voting framework to create DAOs

If anyone has any other ideas about voting mechanisms on top of a bitshares asset, please let me know.
Thanks.

Hi,

This is for the one in charge of the maintenance of the forum.

I tried to create an account with another email address, and I never received the confirmation email.
My mails are however hosted by a well known Swiss based hosting company, and it seems that the mailer system of Bitsharestalk cannot send any email to this provider (infomaniak) => email would be ngenko at btc-consulting dot org

I therefore created an account with an email that I actually do not use much... can someone assist?

Thanks.

I would expect a little bit more than such a paper to invest in this project. At least mockups that shows your ideas to make it simpler.
