Once the pump finishes, people will get bored holding a hypecoin with no GUI and and smart contracts that are clearly inferior to those on BitShares. They will then start to look at the liquidity and beauty of our DEX and come flocking over. Ethereum's market cap is just a glimpse of the great times to come for BitShares.

Im bringing out my inner Stan.

lol, traders never care about GUI .
They trade on the exchanges .

I trade Bitcoin for half a year without even touching the Bitcoin wallet

Yes you trade on an exchange that has a decent GUI. Well done.

General Discussion / Re: IRC/telegram as a trollbox?
« on: February 08, 2016, 08:47:36 am »
Having to pay a BTS fee to post in the trollbox is a non starter - it has to be offchain.

However it would be beneficial to login to the trollbox using a blockchain registered username.

But lets just get something quickly working in the wallet first.

Since their buzzwords work so well, maybe we could copy them for our DPOS rebranding:

Segregated Proof of Stake
Discriminate and Proof of Segregation

/sorry crap joke

I think that instead of shying away from the algorithm that has proven successful thus far, we should have a blog post that defends it and addresses the FUD that comes from people like Andreas.

I agree with Jakub in that if we rename DPOS, people will see it as a sign of weakness.

My question for BM:

Back in the 0.9 days we talked about having autobridging , and IIRC there were some technical problem to do with how orders were matched. I was wondering if these are still an issue in 2.0 and whether we are likely to see autobridging sometime in BitShares 2.0?

There was a post this week from a newbie who deposited into OpenBTC (I think) and wondered why there was no liquidity to go into USD, only for BTS. Autobridging would fix this, and would be a great way to bootstrap liquidity.

Thanks.

Liquidity inside BTS is starting to get so good that there is almost no need for Poloniex anymore  +5% +5% +5%

Is the recording up anywhere?

yup.  Here's an old thread.  never went anywhere.

It didnt go anywhere because of technical reasons in the old 1.0 code IIRC.

I'm glad there is at least one person in the world that still believes in Bitshares' potential.

Here is something that makes me believe in BitShares - the exchange is actually growing in usage: http://cryptofresh.com/charts

The overall trend is up, and each of those peaks are higher.

Best way to add liquidity: Autobridging

For example at the moment OpenBTC:USD has 0 orders. However OpenBTC can be traded for BTS via OpenBTC:BTS, which can be traded for USD at BTS:USD.

Therefore autobriding could combine those 2 operations into one atomic operation, and the GUI could automatically fill in the OpenBTC:USD market with the offers that can be filled by those atomisized operations.

The result is that all those separate UIA tokens on Openledger automatically become integrated. Of course the spread would be higher, but it would at least kickstart the OpenBTC:USD etc markets.

I asked BM a while back about whether Autobriding could appear in BitShares, and there were technical details to do with how order matching is done. Perhaps these are no longer the case in 2.0?

The concept comes from Ripple: https://wiki.ripple.com/Autobridging

Has Ethereum run into the same problems that we had i.e. running out of donation funds and having to resort to dilution to pay developers?

That should start to bite at some point.

I was literally 2 mins ago about to post a link to a market to show someone in an altcoin forum about BitShares, and it still redirects to the create-account screen.  >:(

Yes you can view a market if you select it from the Markets list, but sharing a link is still broken.

You cant tout anything if the Openledger website is still redirecting when you try to look at one of the market urls. So amateurish. Apparently Im the only one who thinks this is a problem.
