storing the funds in bitUSD, bitGOLD or bitCNY seems like a good idea, it will provide stability in regard to the invested funds and it is a great use-case to illustrate that market pegged assets work!

if they dare let them deal only with BTC

Well they could always collect the crowd fund in BTC and then store it in BitCNY.   This will do the most for BTS. 

Days like today are a good example of why storing the proceeds of a crowd sale in BTC is a problem.

Totally agreed. Great idea.

I agree 100% with this idea/logic but I would recommend bitGOLD instead !!!  (even the investors would be impressed!!!)

Agreed. The best way to support BTS may be not honoring BTC in PLAY but using bitAssets such as bitUSD and bitCNY for crowdfunding.

I agree. But only if this is possible with current limitations.

So... January 5 to February 2, yet another period in which BTS will not go up, because the bitshares community is spending their money on yet another crowdsale instead of buying BTS.

You are missing one vital fact....

ANY development that is made and works with the BitShares PLAY Chain will be easily transferrable to infrastructure that can be used by BTS.  So your point is actually kind of wrong.  If we had a 1000 altchains each with only a few serious Developers, they would still be essentially working part time for BTS, free of charge. 

This isn't even talking about the HUGE demographic of future BitShares Users that PLAY could funnel in after it has grown enough.  I am constantly floored by how many people see devs who want to build infrastructure for DPOS (just not under the main chain) as a threat.  I see them as a blessing--ESPECIALLY if they are sharedropping on us.

They'd be a lot more of a blessing if they accepted bitUSD and bitCNY for their crowdfunding.

Wouldn't it be fair to say this might be a significant hindrance if the wallet is still buggy for the majority of users? 

I can see something like an AGS style campaign where people can choose to invest BTC OR bitUSD, but until the wallet is polished and easy for every user, all I see is a bunch of new people having too difficult a time to invest and simply choosing not to.

Yes, I meant bitUSD and bitCNY in addition to BTC for the crowdfunding would optimize the ecosystem benefits.

This might be a good idea.  Still concerned that wallet is buggy at the moment though.
