I had the same idea. I don't see any technical obstacles preventing us to do that.

Then lets do it ASAP.

With shapeshift API in the wallets it means you can get bitUSD directly from coinbase, and can spend bitUSD directly with every bitpay/coinbase merchant.

It's especially important for mobile wallets since right now theres nothing you can actually use a mobile wallet for since there's nowhere to spend bitusd, but if we put shapeshift API in it and enable it to scan QR codes for btc address + amount and send that to shapeshift and do the shift automatically, then suddenly bitshares mobile wallets are like a decentralized mobile coinbase wallet!

The op wanted a way to easily convert one asset into another inside the BTS wallet.
It shouldn't be to hard to implement straight sell orders into BTS to realise this.

I don't think it neccesary to implement the shapshift api into our wallets.

It might be usefull for the mobile wallets.

But for the normal wallet shapshift has already a way to buy anything with bitusd, you could buy with Bitcoin:
https://www.shapeshift.io/lens.html

Edit:

Just tested it, it seems BTS and bitusd are not yet added to lens.
But I recall toast saying that this was just the test phase.
So it probably shouldn't take to long before we can use lens to

Recently the Winklevoss twins said that Bitcoin could easily skyrocket to a 400 billion market cap.
And that a 1 trillion market cap, was also a possibility.
http://money.cnn.com/2015/01/27/investing/bitcoin-winklevoss-twins-gold/

I'm not taking it to serious but it got me wondering:

What would such a market cap mean, in terms of hash power, and electricity consumption?
Not even sure what the electricity consumption of BTC equals to today.
A small/medium/large sized city?
Would such a market cap lead to equal power consumption of a small country?
What would the computing power needed for such a market cap, equal to?

The last thing we need now is a bitcoin bashing, but it would be an interesting blogpost.

About attracting miners to our multipool by giving them a  bonus.

Where would this bonus come from?
And would there be a limit to this bonus?

For a quick dollar to dollar comparison with the centralized competition...

Shapeshift adding us is great.
But how is it decentralized?
I see them using bter to buy and sell BTS and bitusd.

Win GUI:
Initially it worked fine, then I hit the back buttons a couple of times, resulting in returning to go to the login screen. After refilling my password, it froze up.
restarting resulted in an CPU and ram drain.

The only way to start it up, is to close it using task manager. And then reset database.
After syncing up, everything seems to be working fine.

Can someone explain how to get your vested balances in DVS?
I have the normal balances, and voted with the whole stack.
But trying to claim them I get 20010 insufficient funds.

What is the output of "wallet_account_vested_balances" ?

Vesting schedule in DVS was set up wrong and everything is done vesting; so if you do "wallet_collect_vesting_balances <account_name>" once, it will claim ALL of your vesting balances the first time and will just fail after that.

I'm pretty Sure i haven't gotten the vested balances yet. I know the exact nummer of BTS at snapshot, and it's spot on with my DVS balance.

Output:

DVS893vBuuXqA3b4nrq2MeCxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",[{
        "balance_id": "DVS2CAXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "sharedrop_address": "Pvw5u6QQXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "start_time": "2014-01-05T00:00:00",
        "duration": 5184000,
        "asset_id": 0,
        "original_balance": 90858447,
        "vested_balance": 90858447,
        "claimed_balance": 0,
        "available_balance": 90858447
      },{
        "balance_id": "DVSFHSwQdtg4vxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "sharedrop_address": "Pvw5u6QQXxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "start_time": "2014-01-05T00:00:00",
        "duration": 5184000,
        "asset_id": 0,
        "original_balance": 6670251141,
        "vested_balance": 6670251141,
        "claimed_balance": 0,
        "available_balance": 6670251141

In total i have 23 of these sections (23 change addresses)

Edit:

I remember it didn't work in The previous version so I ran:
wallet_collect_genesis_balances <account_name>

Now looking in the recent transactions tab: it shows the balance twice as high as it should be, when I ran that command.

After voting the balance returned to where it should be without the vested balances.

I have a pic of it, but not sure how to upload it in this message.

going through my recent transactions:

Cancelling BITGOLD sell order, made me pay the fee in BITGOLD.
Putting in a sell order charges me the normal BTS fee.

So the problem here is that the relay fee, is in bitsilver in your case

If you still want to cancel, try buying a tiny amount of bitsilver

Edit: looking further, all BitAsset cancel orders are charged in that particular bitasset.
Cancelling orders can be up to 300% more expensive.
My standard fee is 0.1 BTS.
Yesterday I paid 0.0034 bitusd for a cancel order. So that's roughly 0.3 BTS at yesterday's prices.
With BITGOLD this comes around to 0.23 BTS

BTC38 is the best option.

Hi, I open a BTC38 account but deposit can only be done in BitCNY. Can somebody please tell me how I can bought BitCNY with € (have no BTC) ?

As far as I know there's no direct gateway for €->BTS

The best way to go for you would be €->BTC->BTS
BTC 38 has a BTS:BTC market
http://www.btc38.com/trade_en.html?mk_type=btc&btc38_trade_coin_name=bts

Now you have to convert your eur to BTC.
A couple of ways to do this is deposit eur at bitstamp or BTC-e, buy BTC and send to btc38 however this takes some time. In the case of bitstamp maybe over a week, because you have to verify your account.

Many country's have sites that allow you to buy BTC direct with euro.
You could use one of those sites, and then let them directly deposit in to your BTC38 BTC adress.
https://bitonic.nl/en Is an example of one of those sites

What eu country are you from?

When BitUSD is force-selled, are you going to prioritize BitUSD that hasnt moved the longest first?

i.e. If a BitUSD holder lost his private keys years ago, then his BitUSD should be the first to sell.

Everyone gets the same price so order doesn't matter.

IIUC it matters in that not all 100% of existing BitUSD needs to be sold in a black-swan to cover shorts - just some of it. Thats where you can prioritize so most active BitUSD holders wouldnt even notice.

I don't think it is wise to treat some BitUSD differently than other BitUSD.   

You are right that in theory I only have to force *SOME* BitUSD to cover, but prioritizing the oldest requires keeping balances sorted by date (big performance hit for normal operation).   

I think calling it a clean slate is best for everyone.  Chances are that if one guy has hit the limit then almost EVERYONE is below the 200% minimal margin but above the 100% technical solvency level.   Bottom line, *IF* we hit the Black Swan event the whole system needs reset anyway because all hell is breaking lose out there.

The whole system, or just that particular bitasset?
