QuoteThis would be a great opportunity for Will to form a DAC and utilize UIA's for this funding, yes?
There was a beyond bitcoin episode where a guy who wants to do hardware for bitshares (routers etc) spoke up and BM discussed the question above. Fuzzy might remember which episode that was... ?

Faddat.  From MetaDev.  Used to be called DAWN, until they gained  their own campus and production grounds.  Now they are focusing on doing quite a bit more in an open and emergent way.  Pretty cool actually because they have picked up more than a few people and also extra funding.

We had his hangout friday...but his headphones were cutting out so badly that we had to reschedule (and kindly ask him to get a new set).  The hangout is next week.
Dawn... that was the name. Thanks!
Here is the hangout where BM talks about how to make a company operational (share allocation and shareholder voting procedure mostly) within Bitshares: https://soundcloud.com/beyond-bitcoin-hangouts/beyond-bitcoin-01-30-2015-dev-hangout-edited

BitShares community, please give a warm welcome to Will Thomas.

This would be a great opportunity for Will to form a DAC and utilize UIA's for this funding, yes? Once CryptoMate v2.0 is released, I think this would also be a great money-maker for CryptoMate to offer market-pegged, low-volatility BitAssets like bitUSD, bitCNY and bitGOLD as well.

First of all,welcome Will and I think Ken is absolutely right about the user issued assets.

Ken - great job for reaching out to Will. Seems like a win-win.

Thanks
M

Thanks a lot mate, and a good evening to you. :)

We're still in very early discussions now so it's too early to say if we can reach a partnership of some kind, but I look forward to seeing if there's something we can put together we can both benefit from. :)

I will pm you now before I forget!

Will.

If he issues a uia what is stopping a non Brit from acquiring the assets?  Even if he only sells them to Brits initially, those buyers can easily sell them to anyone on the asset exchange.
I think the UIA can be set to only allow ID authenticated users to control their asset, so maybe the market will stop sellers from trading their UIA to an unregistered account
*confirmed*

For trading CryptoMateGPB legally, they need to comply with regulation which will require KYC/AML ..

hadrian: Thanks for your kind words, really appreciate it!  And thanks for pointing out the pricing bug, I've just fixed it now.  Turns out I missed out BTS while updating out prices the other day, it was completely unintentional, we're not trying to deceive people. :D

fuzzy: I'll be in touch soon!  Thanks. ;)

I thought it'd be something like that  :D
Soon after shapeshift added BitShares (I think it was with BitUSD) they had a similar problem for a very short while - except the price was out by orders of magnitude!

Anyway, I've bookmarked your website and will be looking out for news and updates.

Hello Will.

This looks promising. I've not come across ANY other services like this in the UK. I've found a small handful of places enabling purchase of bitcoin through the faster payments scheme, but none which offer these other cryptos. Sometimes it's a pain having a bank account denominated in GBP rather than Euros, so I'm glad you're doing this!

If you were to create a User Issued Asset on BitShares, I would probably buy some because I'd like to see you succeed. Your service is good for crypto in the UK, and very convenient for users.

I hope you do well, and it'd be great to see some collaboration between CryptoMate and BitShares.

P.S. I recommend taking fuzzy up on his offer of a hangout if you can

edit: perhaps you'd like to know - looking at your website, some of the prices on the homepage are very different to those quoted when it comes to buying...
