General Discussion / Re: Hangout Questions for Bytemaster (Due Friday @ 10:00am EST)
« on: May 08, 2015, 01:52:40 pm »
My question: why does the web-based wallet still look dead and unusable relative to regular exchanges? Our in house gateways are still not integrated with it to allow users to deposit BTC into BitAssets, and it has no trollbox to allow users to help each other & give the impression of activity. Bter got hacked and lost $millions, but people still flock to that site because they have the aforementioned basic features of an exchange. wallet.bitshares.org doesnt, and it doesnt have a decent domain name either.

Just my opinion!

Believe it or not the current BTS rules are heavily  *rigged against BTS bulls.

Here's another way of looking at it: The rules are heavily designed to provide the maximum robustness to BitUSD actually working and not being under-collateralized. If this means that the opposing side that shorts BitUSD has to provide more collateral then so be it. They are taking an extra risk by leveraging their BTS. BitUSD is the product that we all want to work and succeed.

There is a much less risky way to be a BTS bull - just HODL. Shorting is like being a bull on anabolic steroids.

General Discussion / Re: web wallet like counterwallet.io?

wallet.bitshares.org ?

counterwallet.io feels really smooth and fast. Our wallet is a bit sluggish in comparison, e.g. when displaying the market preview graphs.

Also they have a great domain name dedicated to their wallet. btswallet.io would be a great name for our one.

General Discussion / Re: Ripple fined

This bit is very interesting:

Quote
Pursuant to the agreement, Ripple Labs will also undertake certain enhancements to the Ripple Protocol to appropriately monitor all future transactions.

Could regulators put pressure on Bytemaster & co to change the BitShares protocol? Of course the answer to that would be "the community has the source code and wouldnt accept those changes" (I would fork them out immediately).

Is the main difference that Ripple was selling the XRP themselves, so its not really centralized whereas BitShares isnt really owned/sold by any one group?

In my opinion the existence of bitUSD-USD gateways is the crucial assumption here and it needs to be fulfilled before we consider anything that is based on this assumption. In other words, there is no point in discussing the upgrade to BitAssets 2.0 (which I generally like) if we keep avoiding the subject of gateways.

The funny thing is that BM seems to realize this:
but fails to address what the plan to make it happen is.

Ive observed that BM announces technical changes, he does not generally announce gateway/integration progress. Its too market sensitive.

Apologies. I'll try to refrain from price speculation for a while.

Dont apologize. Im so useless at predicting whats going to happen that I value as many opinions as I can get. I got really excited about the DACx integration and was going to buy more, but Empirical was right - its still early days.

Does DACx accept Yuan (via their website) which gets converted to BitCNY, which trades against BDR.AAPL? How does that work?

What advantage does DACx get by using BTS as a backend? They could just accept CNY themselves without any transaction fees.

Wow I cant believe I havent heard of this before.

Thanks Xeldal, but how do I found out which other asset BDR.SPY for example is trading against the most? Im searching for it but there is loads of pairs with 0 volume.

The exchange page really needs to show a hot markets page.

Edit: This is the kind of news that we've all been waiting for - companies integrating & leveraging the BitShares blockchain. I bet this is the kind of announcement Bytemaster was hoping to save until the Summer :D

So has DACx created UIAs for US stocks so that Chinese can buy them?

You only agree because that is what you WANT it to do.

Arent we allowed to hope for a desired outcome which is not unreasonable? Otherwise we would all just give up, lose interest and sell. You certainly havent because youre still here.

I have a second question for BM:

When are we going to stop constantly re-engineering BitUSD (It basically works), and focus on getting new users? We arent getting new users because we dont look like a regular exchange that people can easily deposit into.

Sorry for your loss. Darwinism can be a bitch.

The good news is a lot of people who still support the project had the foresight to get out of a lot of their position months ago. I'm for example sitting on a lot of dry powder in BTC which I really don't like, when I see BTS getting the package right, I'll be able to buy 3-5x more BTS than I had before even if I miss some of the initial upswing. So there's still a potentially big valuation out there if it can become competitive.

Lol well played.

I don't know for the current ones, but the dumpers before them are more intelligent than we are...

I agree hodling onto something that loses 94% of its value does make me feel dumb.
