For testing purposes you can use any SMF forum, I suggest https://bitcointalk.org

ignore this post (need 10 posts, the captcha struggle...) 212213

Don't post dummy messages, if you wont to avoid captcha, post your questions or make useful comment to existing posts.
If you don't have questions or comments, captcha is not a problem for you.

1) BitShares is trading, therefore documentation and a working trading API. The relevant methods from poloniex should be available via wallet_cli, as this is what traders expect
https://poloniex.com/support/api
2) Easy on/off ramps
3) Marketing: Now that there is something to do and a way to get funds in, demonstration or examples of someone successfully using the referral system.

Fix the export / import process
-Not only is it painful to get a working 1.0 export, its doubly frustrating getting that to import into the new system.   There's 10 different ways to do it with information spread all over the place and NONE of them work properly.

For non technical people this process is currently next to impossible, even if you have all the proper information to do it.

Build an executable that has 1 function

1. import a keys.json file and balances and produce a single 2.0 backup.json (not 10 TB worth of backups like we have now)

This backup has to actually WORK, everywhere, whether its a full, light, or web wallet

THIS ^^^! and Documentation/Wiki, namely for the CLI syntax, but a comprehensive Wiki would be nice.

this ends in two days.  if you have something to add please do so soon

1) GUI wallet working in pristine condition
2) A PowerPoint presentation for use by anyone in the community
3) Boots on the ground... inviting and joining "technology" groups via local Meetups (or any other group function).  It's about time to get human yo!

Here's a big one: fix the 1.0 - 2.0 migration problem: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19194.msg246592.html#msg246592

Elsewhere I saw it suggested that an EXE / binary be put together for the sole purpose of creating a standalone backup.json file that can be imported into the web wallet gui and contain ALL accounts and their balances in one easy step.

However, the problem is that even with such a tool for some the process will be VERY time consuming for those with lots of accounts and / or lots of keys in the accounts.

This is a big monster that impacts many people and needs to be slain. I myself have not got all of my balances migrated. I also need to reclaim my accounts, which are nothing more than empty shells right now.

that sucks that it would be time consuming. but I'd deal with it. unless there's a better idea?

From time to time it is good to look at where we are and identify what is required to make bts the best it can be.  Having a few focal points of established roadblocks that require our utmost attention, is imperative to most effectively help the dev team and community press forward in assuring bts remains in its rightful place.

This community is very active, but are we focusing our efforts and working together to work on the highest priority issues?  I call these issued bitshares' monsters.  And id like to form Raids of people to slay them...and pay them for leading and/or attending these raids. 

If you could pick 3 of the monsters that most plague bts' growth and adoption, what would they be?

CNX could do better at (and therefore help Bitshares):
1. Forming trust and reputation retaining partnerships
2. PR: Managing public expectations and building a conscise brand

Can I add another one?

4: Use our Reddit more. (One of our big problems I think is that we stick to ourselves here on our forums whilst every other community uses Reddit. Our Reddit is how the world sees us, not here on these forums)

Then lets upgrade our forums is what im thinking!
