Con gratz! It is good to see some faces after the dev team who spend so much time and effort into the project! Thanks. Also thanks to all delegates for their great work.

Looking forward to the launch of bts 2.0!

Guys, the last blog entry on BTS2.0, bitshares.org/blog, reads half cooked and appears unfinished. Could someone please add to it and explain things more broad and clear? Right now only insiders may understand the topics and issues, etc, discussed. The announcement should be crystal clear and professional, not some irc like summary. Thx

I agree. I sure hope Bts marketing improves with the referral system! It has been painful thus far, and this announcement does not sound as exciting as it should (to the average reader).


The queen may be the most powerful piece on the chessboard, but it can't do everything.

All the other pieces need to do their parts.

It's not a typo imo and it's also quite clear what it means: it's just stating that the snapshot day is a Tuesday, which means there's 3 whole days left of the work week to offer support. In other words: it's not happening on Friday evening with no support until Monday!

Correct.   And while we might be willing to work that weekend we aren't going to do that to our partners and exchanges...

I may be in the minority here but I don't really see a problem with the quoted text.  Snapshot date has been announced as October 13th.  That is a Tuesday.  So the snapshot will be on a Tuesday.  If that was the only sentence in the announcement I could see how it would be confusing.  I don't think the full date needs to be in every sentence.

I also think it is a typo but this needs to be fixed asap.

1. It is not professional

2. It might end up in some speculation trading. People withdraw their BTS from exchanges every Monday and resume trading in exchanges every Wednesday and the result is some crazy volatility for no reason

Launch Plans
We will be taking the snapshot on a Tuesday so we have time to prepare on Monday and support it through the rest of the week. The actual snapshot time will be the last block prior to 9:00:00AM EST. BTS 2.0 chain will then launch no later than 4PM EST.
UNQOTE

What do you mean on "a Tuesday". Do you mean on Tuesday the 13th Oct or on a Tuesday up to the 13th Oct?

I think it's a typo.

@tonyk I have definitely seen CLI calls that relate to blinded transactions .. not sure about titan ..

Anyway .. blockchain support means that all that is nees is already there and making it accesible does not require a hardfork of the blockchain .. kust some "exposing the right features to the customer/GUI" ..
