Maybe I'm just doing this wrong, but why are there no recent posts about BanxShares anywhere to be found ?
I'd have expected at least some reaction from within the BTS community about the situation, even if was only about how cruel the nasty Nxters are....... 
I have no reason to assume that there is some kind of direct fraud involved but the style and the way of selling something like
www.banxplatinum.com is totally inappropriate for a Bitshares "partner". By style of selling i mean that you can't fast forward videos, claiming knowing for certain that Bitcoin will go to the moon, treatening potential customers with "if you don't buy this you will loose the opportunity of the century", bluntly and speculatively overstating things, walls of text without saying what specifically the added value is etc. It's just not worthy to be associated with of a business like Bitshares that tries to bring transparent and measurable added value to people. And the most important part is this: It doesnt even matter what I think about it personally, it is enough that it will shed a negative light on Bitshares / CNX and it's ability to choose "honerable partners". There is a public perception that a busniess is not honerable if it applies sales strategies like the ones described above.
Again, the product may even work! I have no idea. My point is just that the WAY it is sold will shed a negative light on Bitshares because Banx is perceived as a "partner".
I have no reason to assume that the owner of Banx, Mark, does not have the intentions to stick to the specific / measurable promises he made to those he makes business with (his partners and customers) - why should I think differently? But that has to be kept separate from the subjective issues desribed above. Now I think that such critique of subjective matters is justified BECAUSE Banx is presented as a Bitshares "partner" (and not just as a random business that uses the offerings of the Bitshares exchange network which any business can) - otherwise I wouldnt mind at all.
My specific request for action to Mark: Please either say that you are just a random business utilizing the bitshares exchange network (not a general business partner) or sell by being transparent and not by being intransparent (the banxplatinum offering is an example of selling through intransparency combined with hope).
This is just my own personal opinion as a member of the Bitshares community about which I care.
