THIS IS CHEATING

really, cheating, cheating who?
nobody takes any money from ppl
the contrary
All fees paid can be directed back to shareholders.
It's real volume.

'Faking" was a confusing word for me to use

Faking volume is a bad idea in any case, IMO.

It's even worse when discussed in a public forum. Now even if we have that much real volume nobody's going to believe it.


It's not fake if real bids and offers are being filled. 
Just like market making shows real market depth even though it is often done by the exchange itself.


agree and to make it more clear..we still vote for new or old politician, despite we know they lie.
so fake or better lie advertising does sell cars,
dont call it fake, call it
making awareness of something thats little known..
same goal different name

This really isn't fake volume. Transactions are being done on the blockchain, fees paid. I suggest you change the tittle and reword the original post. BIiSaares' reserve pool is the one paying for the transactions. But this is NOT fake volume since fees are being paid and any other user can take the orders from your bots.

I think this is actually a nice idea but let's just allow people to use @alt 's bots, which, btw, were the best thing that ever happened to BitShares as it is the kickstarter the DEX needed. Let people use them, let volume grow for some months. As long as it keeps increasing no need to take money from the pool.
Perhaps an alternative then is to promote and encourage existing BitShares shareholders to utilise BTSBOTS.com to provide liquidity and make private profit from doing so.

But how can Shareholders do this?

@JonnyBitcoin has made a great start with this btsbots app demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JVbUzbNkLpk

I may be mistaken, but I would hazard to guess that most current bts shareholders do not have a professional finance/trading background.
They understand cryptocurrency and can see it's potential to create the next world financial exchange, but may not necessarily understand the nitty gritty on how to actually use a financial exchange to trade, and make money.
I think lots of shareholders are kind of waiting for the serious traders to stumble across bitshares and start using it for themselves to make profit.

But without the early stage liquidity support the mainstream cryptotraders aren't interested. The DEX doesn't yet fulfill their needs. (Or does it?)
Once the crypto-traders are involved then progressively more mainstream players will have their interest piqued.

My prediction/opinion for the order in which players enter the bts market:

>>>>>>>>>>>>Current Shareholders who see the potential of bitshares to fulfill the huge niche that is a decentralized asset exchange (We are here)

>>>>>>>>>>>>Crypto-traders who get fed up of centralized crypto-exchanges

>>>>>>>>>>>>Recent mainstream finance university graduates who get rejected for an invest banking/stockbroker job. Internships are hard to come by for these students. BTS should/will advertise to this demographic once bts a little more mature. They can 'trade from home' and make more money than they could earn at the job

>>>>>>>>>>>>bitUSD accepted at Merchant stores thanks to BlockPay. Merchants offer discounts for payment in bitUSD due to the merchant's potential to profit by selling bitUSD for a slightly higher price on the DEX.

>>>>>>>>>>>>Retired or bored stockbrokers (Lots of money here I think). Ability to hold Gold, stocks and a basket of fiat to manage their pension without trusting a potential crook. If they think BitShares is the most secure then there is potential for a huge pile of money to flow into SmartCoins

>>>>>>>>>>>Ex-Stockbrokers who decide to set-up shop for themselves and use BitShares as their platform.

For the BitShares exchange to increase in value people have to be using it.They aren't, not in the kind of numbers one would hope to see. For the next level of player to enter the game, there needs to be a certain minimum level of liquidity for them to perform their market-needs satisfactorily.

Who knows what the minimum's are? But by discussing, promoting and incentivising  ways to increase the liquidity of our Flagship Product: bitUSD.
How can bitUSD be used to make money?
Why should shareholders create bitUSD on the DEX?
How can they do it without risking their investment?

It's too easy to smart people to hear about bitshares community spending money to create a false impression and decide not to enter the community. I will not vote for this worker. Anyone is free, of course, to fake volume on the exchange but the community isn't going to pay for it.

Real trades are not a false impression. To make this volume you have to put up real bids and asks that any market participants could take.

This is just another idea to create liquidity. Something bitshares needs.

It is essentially zero spread market making with very little depth.

You don't need a worker for this. I do create several $K volume on btsbots every day using my own funds, and everybody can do the same. I am not going to vote for such activity to be funded from BTS reserve, and any proxy who will approve this will lose my trust. Community may decide whatever they want though.

Yes, it is. It raises negative awareness for sure. Usually, people don't like to be "faked". Bitshares is unregulated exchange where everybody can do whatever they want, but please, do fake things on your own, fund them from your own pocket, and don't associate yourself with whole BTS community.

Cool idea bro. But, things like this should not be funded through worker.
Why not?

The worker already pays for advertising on 8btc.com

Faking volume is advertising. It raises awareness.

Are you worried about how the Cash Fund is handled? That the worker would steal the money or something?
I would strongly prefer a trustless solution.

Could the price-feed producers of bitUSD be responsible for a muti-sig Cash-Fund-Fake-Volume-Bot?

Why does it matter if it's fake?
All trades are viewable on the blockchain so it's blatantly obvious.
We're not trying to trick anybody.

Just make BitShares shout a bit louder. People are then more likely to actually hear about BitShares, and hopefully do some research on how BitShares can enable and process such high volume.

It's like a public, on-chain "testnet"

This leads to potential-customers asking themselves questions like:
             
How can BitShares handle this much volume?
             
How much is someone paying in fees to fake this volume?
                            WOW IT'S A FLAT FEE TO TRADE! :O
             
Who is providing the money to fake this much volume?
                          WOW COOL WORKER PROPOSAL. GREAT IDEA.

Centralized exchanges fake volume all the time. They must have worked out that it's good for getting potential-customers in the door.

This idea would also increase the #bts collected in fees by the network.
A real and verfiable metric increase, indicating use of the network
