Design looks good, though I wonder the font appears a bit small; and the blog could do with a bit of spice colour or images.


Who is the customer and what will this do for them? That question could be more obvious.

Big Money audience: "industrial-grade financial smart contract platform" is a great hook.
Top line of links/puffs though I would have thought should be "Decentralized Asset Exchange"; "High Performance and Scalability"; "Collateralized Bond Market". I don't know but whatever will ensure that the key audience is hooked.. they may not scroll down that webpage that looks like every other webpage unless there are enough hooks on first glance.

Individuals:
Does the detail appear too technical for noobs with some cash to invest? How is BitShares obviously appealing to mom+pop who are aware of Bitcoin+ but unsure and unaware of why they might want an "industrial-grade financial smart contract platform".


The "Who" is behind it could be made more obvious.. evidence the strength of the dev team.. skill set if not now named individuals.


Perhaps consider making something of what is now BitShares heritage .. 2.0 is built on the back of experience that others do not have.

Also, I wonder if there are opportunities to make statements from partners and players in FinTech - ones that lend credibility.. "BitShares 2.0 made me say 'Wow' - Janet Yellen." etc.

Perhaps more important than our opinion, is getting the reaction of those new investors you want to engage.. test the water with a few big players who might be intrigued - Barclay's blockchain accelerator and others who are up to speed - and see if that website answers all their questions and perhaps get quotes on the back of their feedback.

I'd replace "Email me when it's ready" to subscribe for alerts and progress updates.. and then keep those interested engaged over time.

and later perhaps integrate the wallet or a demo video. Different people like different methods of communication. The walls of text perhaps need "quotations" in bold that shout out the tldr; .. but there is a lot of content which is great for those with the time to read it.

During Taulants hangout the other day he mentioned that most of the big players are waiting until the end to add their funds.  They wan't the wallet badly and don't really care about the BTS return of 15%.  They wan't someone else to pay for the open license, then the wallet is basically free for them.

Yes, it sounded very positive.. it is better of course to have more people buy in and the sweetner is a good one. Hopefully that interest alluded to will follow through. Still better that the community here can muster itself when something like moonstone steps up rather than looked for new business interest.. but then on the flipside if it is sincere interest it's engaging new business interests rather than individuals, which is exactly the right way to go.

What happens now is that you wish you had bought BTS with it instead.

Are you two not fans of moonstone?.. and if not, why not?

Rather than just chatter nonsense, I put money where my mouth is. Try and take the piss, if you want but it's more useful than hot air and cheap shots. Also Taulant recommitted to the 15% return today, not that the return over the top of what those BTS will be is why I did it.

Including the 0.1.1 GUI?.. iHashFury suggesting the same GUI error as before.. see https://playtalk.org/index.php?topic=320.msg857

Are we any closer to getting a PPA Repository to save users compiling their own?

BitShares and MaidSafe could go so well together!  They need DPOS, our crowd funding, and our economic system, and we need their routing system, hosting, and storage.

SAFE will go well with everything.. but unclear why they will "need" DPOS; they had the fastest crowdfunding seen in a while; the SafeCoin will act like cash.. obviously, it'll evidence their utility, if they support BitShares and others but "need" is a bit of a stretch -> will benefit from.

After much hard work, we’ve created an embeddable mining chip which we call the BitShare that comes in a variety of form factors.

Perhaps with their marketing people will buy BitShares
