I purchase a nanocard last week, how much time take to arrive?
I got mine in less than a week. It was very fast.
If it has not arrived today, it will probably tomorow or monday
John, can you tell more about the project? thanks.
Thx alt
Based on conversations with Team Larimer I expect we will pre-announce the project to the community next week or the week after.
We are ready to announce just paying respect to other planned announcements.
can't wait to see
Announcing Brownie Points (BROWNIE.PTS)
Today I am happy to announce a new way of giving credit to those who contribute to the BitShares community, Brownie Points. According to Wikipedia, brownie points are a hypothetical social currency, which can be acquired by doing good deeds or earning favor in the eyes of another.
Normally brownie points are not tracked, but with the advent of BitShares it is now possible for us to actually track brownie points. I have created a digital asset called BROWNIE.PTS on the BitShares network. Brownie Points will be given away liberally to anyone who does anything positive for the BitShares community or Cryptonomex as recognition for earning my favor.
Everyone who attends a Friday Mumble sessions will be awarded with 100 BROWNIE.PTS, everyone who makes a useful, positive post on the forum will earn 10 BROWNIE.PTS. Everyone who finds and reports an actual bug on github will be rewarded with 100 BROWNIE.PTS. Anyone who resolves a legitimate issue on GitHub will be rewarded with major BROWNIE.PTS.
I will award brownie points for just about anything that I appreciate and in proportion to the amount that I appreciate it. If you are interested in helping me dole out BROWNIE.PTS then please contact me because I would really appreciate the help!
What are Brownie Points Good for?
Technically all Brownie Points mean is that you are on my good side. Brownie Points are not redeemable for anything and do not create any obligations between me and anyone else. BROWNIE.PTS is a tool that allows me to keep track of everyone who is in my good favor and to what extent. You will want to make sure you claim your BROWNIE.PTS because it would just be rude to refuse the BROWNIE.PTS and one day you may regret it; Karma can be a Bitch.Claiming Past Brownie Points
If you have contributed to BitShares over the past two years, please post in this thread with a detailed description of the work you have done and an estimate of how much time and money you spent doing that work. Include your BTS account name and you may find some BROWNIE.PTS in your wallet.
No Obligations
BROWNIE.PTS is merely a tool for my own use and I may choose to stop issuing brownie points at any time for any reason. I may reward them (or not) as I see fit, in the amounts I see fit, for the reasons I see fit. I may also seize brownie points from any account if you fall out of favor and anyone who complains in any way about how Brownie Points are issued or how I use Brownie Points is certainly not in my favor and may lose any Brownie Points they have earned.
[...] All it would cost is a vote, and we could have been well on our way by now with a system pulling INTO BitShares nearly $100k USD volume a day with tons of transactions and new users. We are poised to literally ingest the rest of the cypto mining world into BitShares.. just not enough to get to the 101 and get it done.

Sorry if this message is redundant, but have you got your message across to the Chinese community? It has been suggested that they own the majority voting power and the Chinese sure as hell have a large mining community.
Mining community in China despise BTS for not being POW distributed .
And BTSer in China hates mining .
Also , only BTC and LTC mining is China are considered "mainstream" , multi-pool mining is not really popular . And unlike Bitcoin and LTC miners , multi-pool miners won't normally promote the coins they mine .
Not that much different from the Western BTS-community then. Plus multipools are hated by most coin communities with a passion. One notable example is the development of dpos as a reaction to the selfish multipool miners in pow-pts. I'm kinda curious how you got to the $100k per day number. This is not the first or only POS-multipool attempt (iirc it was BlackCoin who started it) and the listed daily numbers would have been difficult targets for a multipool even in the ATH-era over a year ago.
In short, the bts-community is a tough audience to convince on mining, plus I'm kinda worried about negative backlash from those communities. Would a different twist be possible as a kind of multi-dpos-migration pool? Where miners get paid in dpos variants of their coin. In addition to offering/funding those communities an upgrade path towards dpos (maybe using the snapshot/sharedrop mechanic) instead of being seen as an attack.
Where did you get this notion of being seen as an attack?
I fail to see how what you are suggesting is going to have any value benefit to miners that would be attractive. If a pool is profitable, reliable, and consistent.. they are there, and so are their friends not long after. There are technical challenges to achieving that though that require fair amount of crypto programming.
Beyond this though our phase 3 would not rely on this any longer, and phase 4 would expand beyond what is available now in mining resources.
$100k per day is a conservative estimate at present market cap of 9% total market penetration of what can be produced from all algos of mining at present. We can achieve that in Phase 3 development.
