He just stated that there might be a partnership with an actual bank and didn't want to go into details ..

Great news. I will have to hear the record when it is released.

For the record, Bytemaster did this before when he spoke about partnering with Maidsafe... Ethereum.... is this another case of that remains to be seen.  Its a nice hint, but don't get too excited.


Others that could be added to that list: maybe Overstock?  Adam B Levine?  Toast coming back into the fold?  These are things that were potentials that fell through.

I dont see why Overstock wouldnt be interested now. They seem to like crypto and counterparty fell through.

As long as there's no official announcement regarding any partnership with a bank I wouldn't count too much on it. It's nice to hint at discussions with an interested potential banking partner, just to keep us on our toes, but I won't get too excited before it's official. There's way to many things that can go wrong in these kind of discussions. But those discussions happening is a good sign nonetheless!

There was totally a rumor about Overstock partnering with Bitshares.  Then Patrick Byrne announced the counterparty partnership, and that was the top for the Bitshares price in october.
(Of course, counterparty got screwed in the end.  But they did get a price pump for a while).

Okay.  I just put it there because people got overly optimistic when they heard BM had met with Overstock. Doesn't change the real issue which is we parterships were not formed with Maidsafe/Ethereum.  I don't know what stage they were at, probably just talking over emails or by the booth. 

Coinbase is another one which BM fired off as being interested.  We still have yet to see that come to fruition.

At this stage its easier to BM to make suggestions of things (which may very well be in the works) than to come to a meeting to say nothing at all and have rabid investors calling for change.  Implying things, especially when given as a trickle of news, are a good way to delay release dates.  Now a delayed release is probably best for bitshares 2.0 since it cultivates the best product release.  All I'm just saying, look at what's being said, and how that may play into the overall strategy.

Headline for Newmine's next post:

Bitshares devs to abandon Bitshares, work to make blockchain for some bank.

is @Newmine buying BTS after making these kinds of statements?

Have you included the newest information BM revealed in todays Hangout about an
actual BANK being very interested in CNX, the graphene tech and or BitShares
itself?!

It seems some more exciting news are going to be announced :D

Did you miss the part where after Newmine gets ahold of it, he will still find a way to make Bitshares look back and get people to sell, so the price will just drop more?

:P

I think I'll have to listen to the recording of that hangout! Was there any more details, or was it a subtle comment on which BM refused to expand?

although, the big question was [understandably] avoided: is this in reference to a bank's interest in somehow using Bitshares, or in hiring CNX for work? huge difference...

Since then the market has had to price in that it could actually still be a
while till 2.0 release and that with so many additions there may be quite a few
kinks to work out before it's a stable customer friendly version. The market
has to price in CNX. The market has to price in Ethereum may start trading
soon. While other BTS announcements have been well received by the community,
they don't result in any short term increase in the number of BTS users
or BitAssets. All the while BTS is releasing millions of BTS per week
via the merger and as it is very thinly traded at the moment it's hard
to support the price especially with Greece news which drew a lot of
speculators into non CNY based crypto-currencies.

 +5% Cool. My personal opinion is that as we've seen in the past,  being 'very interested' isn't the same as making some form of commitment. Also the market would have to figure out if a bank being interested in CNX and Graphene is necessarily great for BitShares.

(For example the bank may offer CNX tons of money for further developments that they don't want released to BTS or made public for a while. This may make our developers unaffordable and unavailable to BTS and reduce BTS related development.)

BTS developers would certainly deserve the success though. 

What is your best guess on when BTS 2.0 will be released?
