General Discussion / Re: OpenLedger propose Bitshares 3.0 enhancements (NEW)

Personally, I fail to see why are you guys so excited about EOS. Right now bitshares is much more than just a DEX, it is full with other awesome feauters and that is what makes it the best thing in the market right now, it's a package deal. When EOS is released, it's gonna have all the features bitshares has and then some. Bitshares will be reduced to an app for dex on EOS. It's like if facebook would be excited for their whole platform to be reduced only to the messenger mobile app.
For now, whe have the tech and potential to become the new world currency, EOS will take away every advantage we have. It could be great if after the release EOS would be renamed to bitshares 3.0, and all bts exchanged for the new tokens but that's not gonna happen - it's a separate project.
So why would this project "go to the moon" after EOS? Could anyone explain that to me?

Content, content, content.

Blue Rock Talk

Tonight I get to sit in the same seat that Gerald Celente enjoyed a few days ago with Crypto Connie Willis!

Two hours of prime time video coming your way beginning at 10pm EDT in Virginia.
(Connie loves Steemit so we'll probably spend more time on that than usual.)

General Discussion / Re: Why BitShares is being delisted from Bittrex?

« on: October 07, 2017, 02:28:04 am »

Come to think of it...

It would be great to be delisted from BOTH Bittrex and Poloneix since that would concentrate market depth on the DEX like no other way. It in no way would affect the billionherocampaign since those exchanges are not part of its planned user training anyway.

Then we grow the industry by a factor of 10x users all trained to use the DEX and never using the centralized exchanges.

Couple that with the entire franchise of legal BitShares based exchanges planned by Stokens.com and Blockchain Projects BV adding to what OpenLedger, BlockTrades, et. al. provide and I don't see a down side.

Oh, and did I mention a virtual end to naked shorting from those sources?
...and all that voting power coming home to vote for needed worker proposals!

Please don't throw us in that briar patch!

We have to use more Dex, why the hell is not used massively? it is stupid to rely on centralized exchanges.
...totally agree with you friend..if anyone isn't invested in decentralized exchanges they need their head examined...it protects our God given rights to freedom and privacy..I've been watching youtube guys and there are so called Youtube analysts that have no idea what Bitshares is..i even saw a guy with over 10000 subscribers say they have no pairings and offer no coins...i was dumbfounded..we need to make sure to correct these guys because people are just blowing BTS off

We rely on people in the community to saturate the world with the truth. We can't be everywhere, but you are!

General Discussion / Re: Privacy in Bitshares

Hats off to Toni Lane Casserley - she contacted some of her friends at several exchanges and discovered that even though the blockchain itself has been up 99.9999% of the time, individual nodes at individual exchanges may disconnect. This looks to them like the network has hung.

The bug was fixed on Steemit and Peerplays but no one ever told the BitShares witnesses about it. So now they are grabbing the fix from Steemit and perhaps eliminating a latent issue that may have been lying in there since the Dawn of Time.

I believe that the ability to have privacy in our transactions is one of the cornerstones of freedom.
Another building block that has it's place is to achieve voluntary transparency when needed.

I believe that exchanges that achieve transparency in their operations while preserving privacy for their customers will have a huge competitive edge.

I believe that exchanges that can operate in jurisdictions which restrict freedom will have deeper markets than those who can not serve the needs of those poor, imprisoned populations.

Find a way to do all that all, and you've got a winner.

We plan to be a winner.

I agree too.

But we see what happens when powerful exchanges use their power behind the scenes to hurt others.

Yes, Bittrex looks pretty silly on this one, but that's their business.

Some people are willing to flush their company's reputation for short term gains, I guess.

I'll take a look at those test cases and maybe do a Steemit post on it.

We have had our lawyers check with the SEC, there is nothing going on with BitShares there.

There is no memory problem, they've been listing BTS for years.

There is no volume problem, we're in the Top Ten.

Latest back channel info is that BitShares has no supporting development team, yet GitHub shows tons of worker updates and the Telegram witness channel is alive with continuing coordination among very serious technical people. Further, I average a couple articles a week on Steemit.com/@Stan. Not to mention this forum, the BitShares DEX and HERO telegram channels and that all bytemaster's chains benefit from his current work on EOS which I choose to view as a giant BitShares R&D program. Wouldn't have been hard at all to find a dozen active BitShares leaders to ask about any such concern. I'm not exactly low profile myself.

I'm sure they will figure out a better excuse tomorrow.

I know a lot of exchanges are threatened by the movement toward transparent order books on decentralized exchanges - likely to be embraced when TXSRB.org finishes its negotiations with the American SEC.

BitShares has a nice inside track there, having been chosen by Stokens.com as the clean coin DEX on which it will build it's franchise of fully compliant jurisdiction-specific exchanges.

Yeah. That might have certain nefarious centralized exchanges a bit worried...
