!!! Stupid Questions Thread !!!

[xeroc]

• PTS went PTS-DPOS? I can import my old PTS wallet in PTS-DPOS now? Is PTS-DPOS still running?
• AGS went straight into BTS. Or is there anything else?
• BTS is still BTS? What is BTS 2.0 in a nutshell?
• Does I3 still exist?
• How are you doing?

1) PTS has been upgraded to PTS-DPOS .. not sure if it is still running.
At least no one I know of is using it

2) AGS has been sharedropped "half" of the BTS

3) BTS(1) has been "upgraded" into BTS2 with a 'pitch fork' ..
Essentially everything was moved over (except for transaction histories
and open orders) .. see http://docs.bitshares.eu/migration/

4) I3 does no longer exist. To separate business (for legal and tax
reaons I think), Dan created a new company called Cryptonomex (CNX) that
has developed Grapehene (the core technology of BTS)

5) Fine .. Heading for FrankfurtMain shortly to get some legal
clarification about Peermit.com (2FA authentication service for
BitShares)

Okay, can someone wrap up the last two years for me?

I know I could read up all the forums, but a quick overview would be appreciated.

Stupid question... won't the 200-300% collateral requirement drive users to other solutions, where they don't need to spend 2-3 times as much in order to acquire an asset?

The collateral requirement is only relevant for investors, speculators and market makers.
Ordinary users are supposed to buy bitassets on exchanges and gateways.

Indeed. So investors and speculators have to put in 2-3 times as much, same as market makers.. could this be a deterrent to offer liquidity, and is it perhaps related to the lack of liquidity we see? (correlation does not imply causation, but I find it an intriguing matter)

I tried to make a purchase of USD using Bitshares. Not sure what happened but the trade did not go through. First time I try this trading within the wallet from Bitshares to USD (BitUSD, I presume).

Can someone please check block 2235350 and block 2236021

and tell me what I did wrong.

You may have done nothing wrong. Sometimes, the GUI places the order
wrong by a slight fraction (rounding issue.
Try to manually place an order at slightly higher price. Your order will
get filled at the offered price though.

Also, is there any way to cancel the transaction that has not gone
through? My total count of Bitshares shows that some were take out for
the transaction but it did not go through. Not much there but I am just
learning this trading process.

Below the order book there are your open orders

Thank you.

Last time I tried to buy from the orders sitting on the book because of some problem with the decimal part, instead of buying, it placed a buy order 0.000001 below the price or something like that, tried doing it 0.000001 above the price and it should work

Sure.  Does somebody have a nice succinct summary?

I think @jcalfee1 is the best person to talk to, as it's him who created the tool.

I think the migration process is now finished after @jcalfee1 integrated a bloom filter into GUI, which has been released in November.

Has the migration problem been completely solved yet, as @abit says?
Where was it announced? I must have missed it.

See https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php/topic,19557.msg251364.html
Haven't found an explicit announcement though.

Thanks, abit.
@Stan, it's a bit overdue but would you consider announcing this properly in your Winter Storm announcement thread?
It's a shame we have spent a lot of effort on this important tool but failed to communicate the outcome in a proper way.
There might be still people out there who don't know about this (e.g. I was not aware).
