Robrigo, I sent you a few BTS.

Sent!

Thanks for helping get the word out about BitShares. We're all set for contributions now.

The interview between bytemaster and bitmarket will be streamed in a 30 minute slot at the end of the agenda on Friday. The booth will be active for the whole day.

Thank you everyone who has sent contributions! We are ~0.234 BTC away from covering the fee.

Please review and give feedback on the company description I drafted for our booth. I wanted to focus on BitAssets, and I figured it was okay to get technical considering the demographic. Feedback is appreciated.

Also, there is a 2000 character limit.

Are you a merchant that would like to accept cryptocurrencies directly without having to pay a third party service to mitigate risk due to volatile prices? Perhaps you are a trader and would like the ability to hedge without exiting to fiat currency. Or maybe you seek peace of mind, and would like to keep your savings safe from unexplained seizures by the IRS.

BitShares (BTS) provides the solutions to these problems by leveraging a new technology called BitAssets. A BitAsset is a first order derivative that tracks the price of a particular currency or commodity, such as the USD, CNY, EURO, or GOLD. This mechanism is known as the market peg, and is maintained by establishing a Nash Equilibrium between traders to trade around the real price of the commodity. These assets such as bitUSD for example, are issued on the decentralized exchange that exists directly on the BitShares blockchain. Issuance occurs when an order is matched between a short order and the bitUSD buyer (long position), "minting" the bitUSD into existence backed by at least 3x the value in BTS as collateral. The collateral is "locked up" on the blockchain, becoming freed when the short position is covered. Covering effectively destroys the bitUSD, removing it from circulation. The short can purchase the bitUSD and cover their position at anytime within 30 days. After 30 days, the short expires and is automatically covered. If the price of BTS falls relative to the USD such that 75% of the collateral stored would be required to buy back the bitUSD necessary to cover the position, a margin call is executed and the position is covered automatically. This ensures that the bitUSD in circulation is always fully backed by BTS as collateral. Holders of bitUSD and other BitAssets receive a variable % yield paid out of a reserve fund on the blockchain, funded by market fees.

BitShares provides the services of a decentralized bank, exchange, and derivatives market all on one blockchain.

Thanks for cleaning it up! I'm going to submit your version... it flows better.

I'm also in with 0.1 btc. Where should I send it?

Thanks Delulo. I've covered the remaining amount to register so this helps! You can send it to 14CL3ATQ46SBMetCvQniUCr4HsjuRH2UmV.

Robrigo, I sent you a few BTS.

[onceuponatime]

Sent the registration fee and submitted the assets.

I hope to see some of the other members of this fine community drop in to represent BTS!

Instructions for "dropping in"?

I think you just need to register and then a link to the expo will be provided in an email later: http://www.cryptomoneyexpo.com/expos/inv2/

I registered but haven't received an e-mail. Have you?

[robrigo]

Which of the four events do I need to register for?

Linking directly to the registration page is broken apparently, I updated the link. All you'll have to do is click the "Sign up / Register" button here: http://www.cryptomoneyexpo.com/expos/inv2/

Still need donations for the fee?

Donations are appreciated, I ended up covering an additional ~0.2233 BTC on top of the 0.16666667 BTC to expedite the registration, so any additional contributions will help me offset that.

Thanks!

OK will send you 0.1 BTC later!

Done!

Thanks!
