"Request new Coin" form + voting mechanism built in bitshares web wallet

I think this is a good idea. Revenue from coin request as well as paid sponsoring will be beneficial in the future. It doesn't make sense, however, to add new coins without first solidifying trading in our own assets. We still have a lot to do to make this a competitive exchange that people would like to see their respective coins traded on

Bitshares has great built in exchange . We should be more open for new customers, especially those who cannot find help or proper service in other places.

A lot of exchanges has "Request new Coin" mechanism (some of them are automated):
https://poloniex.com/coinRequest
https://bittrex.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/202583854
https://c-cex.com/?id=vote
https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes
...

This is great way to find new customers. Each release has official announcement, usually on bitcointalk. It would be great to mentioned there, each time, when new coin is released

There are limited number of 3 or 4 letter coin symbols. Thats why we cannot just add every coin. New coin should be founded by people who vote for specific coin. That would be easy way to crowdfound expensive 3 or 4 letter coins.

Cryptsy has two kind of votes:

• free (each user is allowed 1 free vote per coin.)
• paid votes (which have no limit on the number of votes)

I am not sure how this could be implemented, but I think some special bitshares account should be created (or pointer to not revocable address). What do you think about that?

We would need a mass sharedroptool...

@fuzzy Do you remember the ideas we were discussing a year ago on exactly something like this?

Maybe a variation on that could work. Something like perhaps new DApps that want to get added to Bitshares in a prioratized premium type way would simply have to pay out a percentage to Bitshares?

Another variation, make it into a sort of lottery. People vote by donating some of the coin they want added until it meets a minimum USD threshold, and then all of the voters are entered into a random lottery with the winner or winners getting the jackpot?

You could even tie in prediction markets. Predict which coin will be added to Bitshares next?

If the Bitshares Wildcard/Diamond idea is used it might have to separate itself from the Bitshares blockchain and instead utilize the Play blockchain just because of China with it's gambling laws. On the other hand, some ideas could be borrowed from Bitshares Wildcard/Diamond for the benefit of Bitshares where the benefits clearly outweigh the political costs.

Yes I do remember very often actually

Only problem at present is that we are in the stage of building roads and there is a gap in that area.  I can say though that @CryptoPrometheus and @clout had some interesting ideas too.

We should strive to do better than that.
1) We should make it fun.
2) We should add prediction markets (let people guess which coin will make it next).
3) We should add chance, frequent rewards, for the people who can correctly guess which coin will get the most votes in the next election cycle for example.
4) We should develop ways to let coin creators who pre-mine to lock up a certain dollar amount value of their token in order to get on the exchange. This way coins which don't have much of a market cap won't make it.
5) We should offer some sort of premium services for issuers, coin creators, DAC creators, who want favorable treatment in certain areas.

One way to monetize would be to simple let ads display in the interface. I don't know why Bitshares isn't monetizing ad space but it should. The profit from this should either go to the users who view the ads as some sort of interest, or it should be burned.

Doing that would allow an attention economy to be born and it would monetize the attention real estate of the GUI. Of course the coin makers would have to pay for this premium service, they would have to pay for our attention. The result is we'd be able to get people off of the forum and onto perhaps a more decentralized communication platform.

I requested to the developers to put in a troll box but so far they haven't listened to me on that. I would also hope they monetize the attention real estate because it's an optional source of income which is being put to waste. It of course should be opt-out for people who don't want ads, but those people should not get the income stream.
