dead project,no news since july.liar stan.

Rome wasn't built in six weeks, pal.

There is so much going on behind the scenes that those who even scratch the surface would never say that with a staight face krill.  Hold on and relax. This stuff doesn't happen overnight.  I mean Ethereum has been in the works almost as early on as bitshares and it is nowhere near as far along when talking about enterprise solutions.

I really enjoy and look forward to your comments krills. They are deliciously simple, despicably rude and utterly devoid of context. Given that they are absolutely pointless, I can only assume you are a comedic genius dedicated to lifting our spirits. Delightful.
Haha .. translation : but that pile of turd is rich in minerals.

Though people want to hear more from some partners, it just may not happen as you are really pushing for.  Some are out there running their business in a different manner, do not really talk on forums, etc.  There are many types of businesses, and many models, theirs works for them without the interaction, etc. As a few others have said, it doesn't matter if we hear from every partner. 

When coding in Java, etc - do the devs and Java community expect everyone that uses their technology to report in, etc?  No.

What I was trying to convey earlier was that consumers need not know that this game company has switched to blockchain tech.  For them they may not know for a while, or ever.  That should be ok with us.  If they want to educate their users about how they are securing their assets, securing their data, etc that is for them to decide.  Being able to work with partners and integrate into different types of business outside of the crypto community is the key to mainstream, not focusing on those that understand it, or it's values.

Max, Stan and crew all worked on this quite a bit over the last several months, and all deserve praise on this.  It will be really awesome to see a real business outside of the crypto world with revenues using BitShares to secure their business.

So the shareholder of the project has no right to know who is jumping on board, what their intentions, objectives, incentives, and experience/qualifications are?

Do you see how fast this project is moving away from decentralized with Cryptonomex in control? This is a clear example the Cryptonomex is doing what they think is best for Cryptonomex?

Sorry, but you guys need the crypto community to embrace this first. Decentralized is a core ideal that gave birth to the blockchain. You can tell me all day Cryptonomex won't have control and will work for free for Bitshares despite the opposite being said, but the more centralized you are the harder mass adoption will be.

I think this project, with DPOS and the large stakes held by I3 people put the project very close to the decentralized side of the decentralized/centralized event horizon. With Cryptonomex licensing code for profit, I think you will find the project crossing that threshold and will eventually never see the true light of day, which is Mass Adoption.  And sadly, mass adoption starts within the crypto community. Joe Schmo isn't going to leave Wells Fargo for Cryptonomex Bitshares. I imagine that pitch is somewhat similar to Diner Club salesmen trying to get you to switch from a Visa. -Hey Joe why don't you try a Diners Club card? You can use it at 50 different restaurants world wide. -Uh, I can use my Visa at every restaurant, no thanks.

I3 was supposed to release control over the past year and they half assedly did, but even then no one saw or said there would be a problem with an open, free license such as a MIT. It wasn't until Devs making money and walking away (with their huge stakes) became a factor that all of a sudden licenses were needed so no one could steal the code and profit off it elsewhere.  BM still never answered my question in another thread about did I3 specify that they would work X amount of hours for Y amount of AGS or was it clearly implied that Bitshares would be delivered regardless of how much money was given?

Remember, Satoshi left Bitcoin core and it's done quite alright and finds a way.

I disagree fully.  Look at Abra goabra.com or Xoom.  Paypal is going to get into remittance through Xoom using cryptos from Braintree - Abrra has a dreamteam doing it via blockchain (bitcoin but oh well). 

And adoption will happen not because people understand the technology, but because it comes in a familiar for, like an app they already use or is intuitive.

If you don’t believe me or don’t get it, I don’t have time to try to convince you, sorry    ;)
Anyone looking to make use of Bitcoin, please ask Satoshi first. Thats the decentralized way

Or maybe your amusement is more important than what is being acheived here ? Is it ?

Try this for less daily frustration : Correlate Newmine's post with the price chart, notice trend, start profiting, stop complaining. ;)

Or just continue doing what 99.5% do and react emotionally. Personally, I'd rather profit and Newmine is the best tool I've found.

It's happen to me a couple of time that when I speak about BitShares around, some friends (after a fews days of research) show me Newmine posts on Bitcoin.talk or here. They tell me that this "crypto" project doesn't seem to go very well. So I have to explain and reassure.

It wasn't too much of an emotional reaction but a try ( probably in vain) to make the guy understand that it's not very funny to consume the time of other with non constuctive criticism. I would love if he could start digging a little more, understand better what he is talking about before start screaming "scam", "centralisation", ... "alien abduction".


Anyway, I like your idea to "Correlate Newmine's post with the price chart, notice trend and start profiting"

I'll do that from now on;)

I'm cautious that Bitshares is actually becoming more decentralized, rather than centralized.  To me, I was more comfortable when Bitshares was represented by I3.  We are becoming more decentralized and I personally feel it may be too early for that given the nascent state of the technology.  I'D RATHER HAVE CENTRALIZED COMPANIES MAKING DECISIONS FOR BITSHARES AT THIS POINT IN TIME, SINCE IT BRINGS MORE DECISIVE AND EFFECTIVE ACTIONS.

Silly rabbit!

It's a decentralized system.  Anybody can jump on board.  They don't need our permission.

Exactly the point.

Tokyo Rose
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Tokyo Rose was a generic name given by Allied troops in the South Pacific during World War II to what they believed were multiple English-speaking female broadcasters of Japanese propaganda. The broadcasts were aimed at Allied forces in the Pacific, with the intent of lowering morale. "American servicemen in the Pacific often listened to the propaganda broadcasts to get a sense, by reading between the lines, of the effect of their military actions."  "She often undermined the anti-American scripts by reading them in a playful, tongue-in-cheek fashion, even going as far as to warn her listeners to expect a “subtle attack” on their morale."

Baghdad Bob
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf (Arabic: محمد سعيد الصحاف‎ Muḥammad Saʿīd Al-Ṣaḥḥāf; born 1940) is a former Iraqi diplomat and politician. He came to wide prominence around the world during the 2003 invasion of Iraq, during which he was the Iraqi Information Minister under Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, acting as the spokesperson for the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party and Saddam's regime.  He is best known for his grandiose and grossly unrealistic propaganda broadcasts before and during the war, extolling the invincibility of the Iraqi Army and the permanence of Saddam's rule. His announcements were intended for an Iraqi domestic audience subject to Saddam's cult of personality and total state censorship, and were met with widespread derision and amusement by Western nationals and others with access to up-to-date information from international media organizations. In the US he was popularly known as Baghdad Bob, in the UK as Comical Ali, and in Italy as Alì il Comico.

Grima Wormtongue
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Gríma, called (the) Wormtongue, is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. He appears in the second and third volumes of the work, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, and his role is expanded upon in Unfinished Tales. He is introduced in The Two Towers as the chief advisor to King Théoden of Rohan and henchman of Saruman. Gríma serves as an archetypal sycophant, flatterer, liar, and manipulator.

Quote
See, Théoden, here is a snake! To slay it would be just. But it was not always as it now is. Once it was a man, and it did you service in its fashion.
—Gandalf, The Two Towers

Khan Noonien Singh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



Khan Noonien Singh, commonly shortened to Khan, is a fictional villain in the Star Trek science fiction franchise. The character first appeared in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Space Seed" (1967), and was portrayed by Ricardo Montalbán who reprised his role in the 1982 film Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.   Driven by blind hatred from past losses to Kirk, he will stop at nothing to inflict damage to Kirk and those around him.  Due to Khan's inexperience with three-dimensional space combat, the Enterprise defeats the Reliant and Khan is severely wounded. Refusing to accept defeat, Khan activates the Genesis device, intent on killing his foe along with himself. Khan quotes Ahab's words of vengeance from Moby Dick as he watches the Enterprise trying to escape on impulse power.

Quote
Khan: No... no... you won't get away!  To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!

Newmine want to do the poky poky to our new customers like the TSA does and answer his questions before they switch to our blockchain.

That sound like a great idea to attract new customers.

Everybody we explain this to loves the idea of joining this network.  Exchanges are just the obvious first industry, but anyone with a big user base can find an angle to sign them up and earn a chunk of their lifetime fees.

Go out into the world and bring us more such leads from every nation, tribe, and industry.

It practically sells itself.
