Somebody like this is probably too big to simply join the BitShares team. He would want to start his own project and have it be his idea. If you talk to him, you might want to frame it in terms of the overall potential + the areas where this ecosystem would benefit from new businesses/layers/solutions.
But we would not be asking him to "join the BitShares team". We would be asking him to accept a PAID invitation to do a presentation and Q&A in Mumble at a specific time, and we could advertise the shit out of it far and wide.
I'm all in favor of it. But inevitably, these shows end up trying to find common ground with the guest. I know the shows are supposed to be wide-ranging, but it's basically a BitShares crowd, and so in the end, is this person going to have any overlap with our project or not?

To upgrade:
- Download alpha 8 release: http://bitshares-munich.de/bitshares-wallet/BitSharesWallet-v1-alpha8.apk
- Install it right over the top of alpha 7 release
- Write down your Brainkey (in Settings screen) and TRIPLE CHECK you wrote it down correctly!!
- Uninstall the wallet completely (not really necessary, but right now it's the easiest way to clean up unused files)
- Install alpha 8 again from scratch
- Tap on Existing accounts and then tap on the first link in the following screen to type in your brainkey
- Give it a few minutes to sync up and bring in all your balances and transactions
- Done. This week we are doing even more UI work, upgrading the Contacts screen, etc
I'm not a fan of percentage based fee's. The fee's are paying for the cost of doing the work to process the transaction. It doesn't cost, computer power wise, anymore to process a $.01 transaction or a $1 million dollar transaction.
I think there may be a better answer to micropayments, other than percentage based fees. Percentage based fee's are really a legacy form of tax, and we should look at some alternative and innovative forms of fees while we are still young.
I would support percentage based transfer fees (with a minimum to prevent Spam and a maximum to remain competitive).If I understand correctly, are you saying that you want to pay for this feature?
I would not support any temporary lowering of fees or any reduction of fees other than moving to percentage based.
We do not want to get in to a race to the bottom.
When will this STEALTH feature be implemented and will there be press releases and marketing so people know it exists?
I changed the wording of the poll.
Looks like we lost the ability to reset our votes when I did though.
So, if you sold "a month ago" does the title of this thread make you some kind of troll or just an ignoramus?
I had others invest a substantial amount in BTS early on. I sold my personal stake, because I saw more opportunity in day trading on Poloniex. I haven't told the other investors to pull out yet, but I will be...
If you have to ask this question then maybe it's time for you to sell.
If you cannot find an objective and rational reason to hold, to stay, then perhaps you shouldn't.I feel like bitshares is stuck between is it a platform for other businesses/developers to build on or is it an exchange company?
In either case there are design issues. For example no way people are going to build on a platform where in order to get your app/business on you have to get people to vote for it etc.
Alternatively look at ethereum...its clearly a platform that wants others to build on top of it. And many have already.
We all have complains and concerns. I've complained about the lack of micropayment capability as being a main hindering factor. I've complained about the lack of bonds or similar functionality as being a limiting factor. Of course there is no place to collect yield in Bitshares 2.0, so of course there are a lot less people holding in Bitshares 2.0. What did anyone expect?
And of course BitUSD isn't successful because without micropayments it never will be. People around the world and in poorer parts of the US are getting paid in what Silicon Valley developers would call micropayments. Without the ability to pay micropayments you miss the majority of payment types which take place online.
Now it's time to be tough. You can either hold no matter what, even if BTS goes to 0.001 and lower, and wait the situation out, or you can sell now and get out before the next seemingly inevitable price drop. Until the exchange has bond markets, lots of unique assets, prediction markets, stealth, and we have micropayments, we can't really say Bitshares 2.0 is good enough to deserve a $100,0,000,000 marketcap or even a $50,000,000 marketcap.
Bitshares is at a low price because that is where it's current utility is. Unless more utility is built around it, it's not supposed to be priced higher than it's worth. Ethereum is actually over priced due to hype and should be $20,000,000 or less, but it's Ethereum.
Hahah i don't know why you're stuck on micropayments. That's simply not where the money is.
I sold a month or so ago when Dan made the post about vision. I realized then that this going nowhere. Dan's too much of an idealist and this project has lived and died by that ethos.
