General Discussion / Re: Why have you stopped using BitShares?
« Last post by R on April 20, 2024, 12:46:14 am »
Have you gained further insight into this issue?

How were you affected by the Telegram group bans?

Starting with the Telegram group bans.  It is obvious to many, IO Banker is a hinderance with the bitshares community.  This becomes a problem across platforms, as differing views and constructive criticism is what drives innovation.


On a more positive note,

Haven spoken to many people online/offline in regards how/why/when they utilize a blockchain has narrowed down one sticky point for sure.

Ease of use was the common denominator.

This leads back to why centralized exchanges such as coinbase and now the btc etf have gained massive volumes.  Many older users are simply hesitant to trust themselves with self custody, stating it was too difficult to manage.  People are comfortably with what they know, the banking and investment houses as we have today.  One user brought up how quickly people's mind will change if they faced banking capital controls such as were instituted in Greece awhile back.

Point blank, Bitshares needs a modern, simple, easy to use UI.  One app with the same interface across platforms would be a homerun.

Yeah, the "official" telegram channels are the private property of individuals who wields the admin powers entirely at their own discretion, I wouldn't consider such a ban the official stance of the DEX against you.

I hope the astro ui project can be the building blocks for such an UI, however it still requires computer terminal experience.

Hopefully the Beet and BeetEOS wallets can also replace the difficult to use UIs they disliked too.

It's baffling really, for the "goxxing" and countless fraudulent CEX closing down that people are still content to trust them entirely, I mean 400m BTS was just given up on Binance by balance holders without a peep, that was pretty nuts. The only way I can think it wasn't worth it to people to withdraw is if there were millions of accounts holding tiny amounts of BTS on binance rather than a few large holders.

It is quite interesting however that a month later Binance has barely shifted any of the BTS they "bought" from their users, they now hold just shy of 10% of total supply and at the pace they're selling it'll take years for them to dump it all. So Binance therefore seems to have a multi-year plan for Bitshares.. interesting..

In other news, Binance ex CEO is being sentenced on the 30th April 2024, will it be decades or months? Ready the popcorn..

Jumpstarting a dev fund like this is perfect way to attract more attention to the, hopefully, self sustaining chain.
With a large increase in the reserve pool, we could approve multiple worker proposals to fund multiple different developer funds, there's the committee dev fund account for example, otherwise private groups could do the same, for sure!

I think also with a larger reserve pool, we could also do a worker proposal for regularly airdropping onto active Bitshares users, without having to wait for the committee to build funds from bitasset earnings. Could be done against the holders of a pool share asset, or against ticket holders for example to directly improve network decentralization by distributing funds to the most active key stake holders.

https://github.com/bitshares/bsips/issues/295

Seeking input on this draft BSIP on Github.

Worker proposals haven't been getting activated for years seemingly out of a fear that the reserve pool will run out.

The draft BSIP proposes to increase the maximum total supply (not the active liquid supply), so that worker proposals and witnesses can get properly paid for their hard work for years to come.

To those who would reject this idea, do you have sufficient Bitshares vote weight to reject a future BSIP vote on this matter?
