Hey @fuzzy

Just a heads up that this episode was not made downloadable for others when it was posted.

Is it going to be eventually available on the Beyond Bitcoin youtube page?

Fixed

irrespective of what BM does, this project is still way undervalued i think..

Bingo. BitShares needs new leadership, but it still has great potential. If these entrepreneurs we keep hearing about can create growth on the blockchain, then maybe that's where the future is. If Bank of America suddenly plugs into BitShares for its back end, then it would break loose for the moon. But why would any large company do this when they could control their own version of it? Smaller entrepreneurs, not large companies, probably will fuel the growth. That makes it organic and it means this will take time. We need to make sure we have a development team that still can maintain this system and make minor tweaks as needed -- witnesses and community members will need to be patient and continue voting for funds for proper maintenance, etc. Aside from that, just stay in it for the long haul. This will be a slow, grinding slog. Hopefully, we will grow steadily, and years from now we will have a large market cap.

^^^^^ this. this. this.

but only if people are willing to be patient (or actually pay the workers who sacrifice for the project).

and organic growth is preferrable indeed.

There are users who intentionally went around claiming typo names so they could return the funds in the event this happened. I wonder if these accounts were one of them?

I think @fuzzy may know more.

unfortunately i do not know on this one. what i did early on was try to get accounts on bitshares for people who sacrificed a great deal for the project and had some level of reputation in the community   i did this in hopes of "benevolently" squatting on them and giving them to those to whom they should belong. i did this because the last thing i wanted was for many who were basically poor from volunteering for bts (instead of working another job as a secret bts holder and stacking) being charged outrageous sums for an account name i thought a person deserved.

however, it was not long after i went and did this that it was made public that names would be nontransferrable.

that was on the 1.0 wallet though and i have since stopped using it and even asked riverhead to separate all those accounts from my wallet.  if any of those accounts have ever received funding i do not know to be honest.
