General Discussion / Re: Potential BitShares Road Map for 2016
« on: March 06, 2016, 10:01:11 pm »
Very encouraged to see this roadmap.. it's an ideal route for people widely to see progress being made. Well worth the effort then keeping it up to date..

I wonder that some estimated dates ~Jan2016 need restating.. would be interesting for example, to see more clearly where Moonstone is up to, as that's not immediately obvious for all the posts we might find by searching, having it all in one place is much more friendly to potential investors.   8)

General Discussion / Re: Any interest in a more modern Discussion board?
« on: December 07, 2015, 09:10:59 pm »
A change to Discourse would be a big positive.

Discourse is really good for seeing quickly what has changed. https://www.discourse.org/
Example is MaidSafe https://forum.safenetwork.io/

Meta / Re: forum setup
« on: November 10, 2015, 10:25:17 pm »
Just to note that the forum seems a bit slow, which is not something I've ever noticed before.. I'm getting 3/4 sec delays on requests for opening pages and the option to reply; submit reply just took 10+ secs. Hopefully that won't last..

Also I notice for the first time Firefox.. now version 42 suggests a flag against the url "The website does not supply identity information" and "The connection is not secure" despite being https:.. "Parts of this page are not secure, such as images"

@chryspano @merockstar Thank you!!  8)
Why is there not an abc introduction on the wallet of sticky on the forum suggesting hacking the json to be small and claiming the balance.. would save so much time.

« on: November 04, 2015, 07:00:23 pm »
Online web wallet import keys has been running for 24hrs .. it that doing anything useful or is there another route to getting keys into a 2.0 wallet?..

Where is the build for GUI on 32bit Linux?..

Where is MoonStone's wallet up to atm?..

Technical Support / Re: Building BTS 2.0 in Ubuntu from scratch
« on: November 02, 2015, 09:45:03 pm »
> later ill post a followup on how to install the js gui

That would be really useful.. I have less time atm and don't want to read a manual, I'm just keen to make the transition to 2.0. Why are there no repositories or binaries available for 32bit Linux??.. Why is it not made simple; expecting every user to build seems a bit ridiculous. Last time I looked there was a web wallet, is that useful for import of keys to a wallet that can then be simply saved? Also, where is MoonStone upto now?

Technical Support / Re: Linux 32bit - 0.9.3c and 2.#?
« on: October 18, 2015, 04:43:05 pm »
urgh..

bitshares-0.x for 0.9.3c qt build fails on npm install for why I can't immediately see.. this more time consuming that I was hoping for.

Error is..

npm ERR! git fetch -a origin (git://github.com/linemanjs/grunt-contrib-sass) error: cannot open FETCH_HEAD: Permission denied
logfile suggesting
>6144 error Error: No compatible version found: grunt-contrib-sass@'linemanjs/grunt-contrib-sass

Is there an option to export from commandline Linux without the qt??

Technical Support / Linux 32bit - 0.9.3c and 2.#?
« on: October 18, 2015, 10:50:52 am »
I'm just looking at the steps needed to upgrade and it seems I need 0.9.3c and then 2.#.

Where is the build or otherwise instructions for 32bit Linux???.. the download 64bit gives an unhelpful "Exec format error" that some users might not understand.

https://bitshares.org/download/
> The latest official release can always be found on GitHub at this URL: https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares/releases/latest
points to 0.9.2
and
https://github.com/bitshares/bitshares-0.x/releases
suggests a 0.9.3c marked as prerelease - is that the right copy to do a build against?


Is there still not a Linux repository for these? - that would make life so much easier for Ubuntu/Mint users.

General Discussion / Re: Active (un)voting initiative
« on: August 27, 2015, 02:18:04 pm »
We got a new problem now!

We got delegates who are DEAD being voted UP while delegates who are WORKING being voted OUT!

Are they being voted for or just floating up because someone pulled the BTS that was the vote for those others. If a transaction is made from the BTS that is backing a vote, does that vote not just disappear?.. Someone buying bitUSD for example will throw their vote in that transaction? Eitherway, there's not enough people voting and frequently enough that the 101 is stable atm.. old versions and offline delegates perhaps should not even be contenders. .. and I expect everyone waiting for v2.0

You might want to consider a more aggressive automatic weighting for delegates that become unavailable or that do not perform against basic metrics, like upgrading. I took my BTS+DVS delegates offline a few weeks back, not that the BTS one was ever in the 101 but still I see no change on the ranking of either of those.. which is slightly odd, given that those are not responding they should loose reliability weighting faster. There might be a risk of abuse via DDOS but I expect there will need to be DDOS protection deployed on real delegates anyhow.

Relying on voting.. compelling voters to be active, always seems like  a weak link. Most BTS holders, most of the time will be busy doing more than attending to the politics of BitShares and then also voting to that.

Vitalik and the rest must be laughing all the way to the bank..

Yeah.. I wonder who sold this time.. when so many others were being advised of a bug that would null their claim and transfer of ETH.

27
Yes.. I hadn't seen that the IPO was 0.30. We'll see where it goes from here but as with BitShares, if it doesn't deliver utility to those who are not just speculating, then there might be another slippage. Part of utility will be stability in the chain and a lack of bugs and other limiting issues. Without having seen a BTC like success just yet, it's too soon to suggest they released to ETH too early.. they could still be the one that wins big.

28
Looking forward to seeing what happens as soon as people can get their ETH on exchanges and dump.  Pricing it at 10x the IPO price in this era of depressed crypto prices is insanity. 

I'll buy later if it falls below IPO and stabilizes.

I haven't paid much attention and wasn't aware it was priced that off target.. not surprised.

Ethereum 24hr change down 70% atm http://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/ethereum/#markets and I wouldn't be surprised to see it fall a long way more, to below BitShares1.0 where it belongs.

There's no surprise seeing a dump at the open as that is normal, satisfying the substantial minority of speculators who become frustrated. Compounded with that what Ethereum is offering is underdeveloped, I'm not surprised that it's burning and glad that this is the one project I did not invest in.

Ethereum is ambitious to say the least and already there are alarming bugs that those claiming their ETH on Windohs could lose that into null addresses. I wonder then if there are others who are upgrading past that bug and getting out. There's a long way to go before I will buy in.. it's a fragile as Bitcoin in 2010 when I first saw that.. give Ethereum a year to bed down and prove itself.. and then I expect CounterParty will have made it available on BTC blockchain. Why Ethereum went the route of creating a new chain, I don't know.. it just added the wiff of altcoin.

Hopefully BitShares will take note and understand that smart investment follows real demonstrable utility.. BitShares2.0 will need to deliver more than hype and speculative opportunity.. and communicate that in an academic way, not just in marketing speak.

General Discussion / Re: Very disappointing BTS performance
« on: August 07, 2015, 10:13:37 pm »
On the upside the external timing is better and perhaps more serious interests will see and understand BitShares2.0 utility.
Hopefully the marketing of that will be as good as the product and not just the hype that is easy to see through. CounterParty[Symbiont]; Overstock; and even Ethereum are doing useful work stimulating the interest of big money, so hopefully BitShares will have a product that appeals to them and perhaps talks their language, so some of them will make use of it; perhaps APIs and CLIs beat GUIs for that?
The downside to BitShares I wonder is the voting and DPoS, which has never seemed compelling to me; just an arbitrary means to an end. Still, if it works in a way that is responsive to the user, then there every chance it'll capitalise on what is at core a really good prospect.

tldr; buy while it's cheap!
